How would you react if people starting posting jokes about the vandalism of the Hillsborough memorial Beaty?
It's all a matter of respecting other people's opinions and feelings whether or not you agree with them.
The best way to play it is to keep the really serious stuff serious and the jokes for the joke thread.

If people did I wouldn't be happy of course but it is their opinion and wouldn't ask for it to be censored.

That was a good topic

keep on topic now please

you want to chat more beaty then pm me

The victims of Hillsborough who were murdered and still waiting for justice should never be made as an example when it comes to comparing against some weird freak who paid off his accuser so that he was never found guilty.

Sorry, just an opinion.

Gary Glitter on the other hand is open house...!!!

Don't apologize Paul, your right, trouble is people have short memories . If you have the money and enough clout you can get away and forgiven for anything.

There is no such thing as Free Speech on Forums.
They are all monitored and all censored to a degree.
We censor ours where its needed.
Ive now clarified this in the Terms and conditions 7.2


I was gutted to hear of his death,
i went to see him on the BAD tour at Leeds and err Heal the World Tour in Tenerife just before all the accusations.

Its amazing to watch all the programs running about the Genius he was, and its like ive heard them say that he was the last Truly Talented Artist.

Jackson's Doctor: 'I Am Not A Suspect'



Michael Jackson's personal doctor has insisted he is not seen as a suspect by cops investigating the star's death after they interviewed him for a second time.


Dr Conrad Murray was with the superstar when he collapsed on Thursday but said he was not responsible for his death.

The cardiologist also said through spokeswoman Miranda Sevcik that he had spent hours comforting the King of Pop's family.

"Investigators say the doctor is in no way a suspect and remains a witness to this tragedy," Ms Sevcik said in a statement.

Police have not ruled out a criminal inquiry into the death of the pop superstar, she added.

His lawyer Bill Stradley insisted: "Contrary to what has been out there, Dr Murray has been co-operating with authorities from the outset and will continue to do so.

"The impression that he has been hiding from authorities, that's not correct."

Ms Sevcik said Dr Murray, who has offices in Las Vegas and Houston, had remained in LA since Jackson's death.

"He rode in the ambulance to the hospital and stayed at the hospital for hours comforting and consoling the Jackson family," she said.

"Dr Murray will continue to cooperate fully with the authorities and asks that all keep the Jackson family in their prayers."

The Coroner's office in LA performed a first post mortem on the star's body on Friday but said toxicology reports may take up to six weeks.

Jackson's family have decided to seek a second post mortem on his body, which is being held at an undisclosed location.

Jackson's father, Joseph, reportedly told People magazine: "We don't like what is going on."

Authorities in LA are planning to hold a memorial for Jackson, according to reports.

I have to say that personally, I'm not bothered - I was never a fan of his music but can see why people say he had talent. The only thing I think is sad is that the children have lost their father; regardless of the stunt he pulled on the balcony, he was still their father.

People die every day, REAL heroes that made a difference to a lot of peoples lives yet remained unsung. Death is a part of life - it will happen to us all at some point as much as we don't like to think about it.

I just hope that the hype dies down soon (pardon the pun) and the sick jokes end.

yerr wench well said

Well lets be honest about it, most of the people who are sobbing, have gone into a "state of mourning", taking time off work, holding candle lit vigils and camping out in front of his house have done nothing but buy his records, watch his videos and maybe seen him in concert.

How many actually KNEW him or even MET him!?! It's like the whole "Diana" business. I just don't get it

Maybe I'm just a cold hearted bitch

Jackson 'Weighed 8st 1oz When He Died'


Michael Jackson weighed just 8st 1oz when he suffered a fatal heart attack on Thursday, according to newspaper reports.


Quoting leaked post-mortem results, The Sun said the 5ft 10 singer's body was "severely emaciated" and his stomach contained nothing more than partially dissolved pills.

Despite having a punishing rehearsal schedule for his upcoming concerts, Jackson was understood to be eating once a day - which could explain his weight.

The paper also claimed to have seen notes that said Jackson's hair had fallen out and that his face was covered in plastic surgery scars.

Several of his ribs were allegedly broken and injection sites were visible from where medics had tried to kick start his heart with shots of adrenaline.

Dr Charles Knight, a consultant cardiologist and secretary of the British Cardiovascular Society, said the broken ribs were consistent with attempts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"It does happen with CPR - it's not common but is a recognised complication," he told Sky News Online.

"It's better to persevere with the resuscitation attempt rather than worry about the risk of breaking ribs."
Dr Knight added that the injections of adrenaline given to Jackson would not have been a "first-line treatment" but were likely to have been given to the singer in the hospital when other methods of resuscitation had failed.

The fatal cardiac arrest suffered by Jackson could have been caused by a variety of different things, Dr Knight said.

Statistically the most common would have been a heart attack, caused by a blocked coronary artery.

However, respiratory failure could also lead to rapid cardiac arrest - and the pathologists would be looking for drugs in Jackson's system that could have repressed his breathing to a fatally low level.

The leaked post-mortem findings appear to contradict reports that the singer was in good shape before his death.

According to Fox News, a source said investigators at the Los Angeles County coroner's office had been surprised by the apparent good health of the 50-year-old.

"He appeared to be stronger than they expected," the source was quoted as saying.

Prior to his death, Jackson had hired Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno as his personal trainer.

The fragile singer was understood to be working on improving his fitness ahead of his planned 50-date residency at London's O2 arena.

His family has hired a private pathologist to carry out a second post-mortem in a bid to answer the questions surrounding the cause of his death.

Story That Jackson Weighed 8st 'Not True'



A newspaper story that Michael Jackson weighed just 8st 1oz when he suffered a fatal heart attack on Thursday has been rebuffed by the Los Angeles coroner.

But a statement from the Los Angeles County coroner said: "The report that is being published did not come from this office.

"I don't know where the information came from, or who that information came from. It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false."
