Question to which the Answer is still No...

Anthony, we’ve never seen anything like this. In the days since Caroline Flack’s tragic death, more than three quarters of a million people have signed a petition calling for a new law to stop the British press bullying and harassing people.

Will you add your name before we hand it in to the Minister next week? 


The cornucopia of simple answers doing the rounds has made me wonder if it wasn't all a confluence of highly unusual circumstances.

An ordinary person in Ms Flack's position may well have managed to conceal the whole incident from her employers till after the trial ...thereby staying in employment.

Even if her employers had been very understanding of her predicament it clearly wouldn't have been possible for her to leave the country to film in such circumstances ... so she was left alone at home with no income and nothing but social media to ponder...?

In the meantime we have all been invoked to "Be Kind" and who can complain about being asked to be kind...? Except for Miss Havesham...

Oh well I guess soon then we will have "Caroline's Law".  I remember when people used to have ships, buildings and streets named after them.  These days it seems to be laws ... Your life went wrong?  We need a new law in your name then... Perhaps a good thing but surely there are other ways to regulate the world than just changing the law?  Or invoking people to be kind?  Responses/solutions which while not mutually exclusive ...would seen to be at opposite ends of the spectrum...?
