I thought this was quote of the day, from Ben Stokes, about The Sun:
It is hard to find words that adequately describe such low and despicable behaviour, disguised as journalism. I cannot conceive of anything more immoral, heartless or contemptuous to the feelings and circumstances of my family.
Don’t worry Theland. You’ve got six grown up, loving, children, all working and none of whom have ever claimed benefits. Doubtless when the time comes they’ll have a whip
round for you and send you off in style.
The simpler the better would be my choice. No ceremony, no fuss.
I think I’d like a Direct cremation for me, followed by nibbles and champagne for my closest family. Can’t bear the thought of an almost empty crematorium.
Tories/LibDems: that makes it tricky. LD is my usually next best choice as Lab doesn’t have a chance here. Don’t want to vote for Tory.
Re Ben Stokes: despicable piece of reporting. I won’t even call it journalism.
My wife was taken to the crematorium by a hearse drawn by two caparisoned white horses (video on YouTube).
Guilty moment for me: felt so sorry for the two horses after their four mile journey. Wife would have agreed and slagged me off for not having used the petrol thing.
