DM managed to shoehorn in a Queen of Hearts ref
This inverted outlook has been reflected in the growing shrine of floral tributes at the spot where Moat killed himself last week near the Northumbrian village of Rothbury, in its own way a nauseating parody of the sea of cellophane that swamped Central London in the aftermath of Princess Diana's death in 1997.

Can't help but think the only reason there's this weird pro-Raoul Moat thing going round is because from the moment he hit the public eye he didn't actually kill anyone, so all we had was this endless footage of him evading police and then being cornered by them.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 July 2010 12:16 (thirteen years ago) link
not the only reason, but probably some of it.
anti-police sentiment is prob a bigger part of it tho

And to the reactionary mind, who thinks that EVERY crime should be punished by nothing less than the death penalty, he did the right thing! He killed his cheating wife and her lover! (not like those medieval muslims who would have stoned her to death, oh no, we're civilised over here.)

(say the guy that actually did sign up to the group about yerwan being shotgunned to the face but i mean)
The whole thing became a complete bloody farce when what we were really looking at was a tragedy.
Not a tragedy for Moat, you understand; but a tragedy for the family of Chris Brown, of Samantha Stobbart and, of course, PC Rathband.
But that's a distinction beyond the ken of those morons who think that Moat is a 'legend', for they are the product of a broken section of society which is over-breeding itself into ever increasing degrees of stupidity.
I'm just posting that so's NV can blow a gasket old skool tbh

Oh wow Ian O'Doherty is a cunt:
But the simpleton underclass in Britain, infantilised by generations of social welfare-funded indolence and boasting almost a complete lack of education or scruples, are too stupid to see that.
Indeed, you only have to look at the likes of the bovine, stupid, dull and uncomprehending Shannon Matthews and that ridiculous faked kidnap of her own daughter to see the face of modern Britain -- where much of the working class has been replaced by the welfare class, and people on generous benefits get to spend all day drinking cheap lager and leaving messages of support on the internet for a man who wanted to be a mass murderer.

Make up your own lyrics:
MOULTYI remember the days whenThings were real bad for meIt was right after my accidentWhen I lost my handIt seemed like I was all aloneWith nobody to help meYou know, I almost gave upAll my hopes and dreamsBut then, then, then somethingInside me kept telling meWay down inside of meOver and over againTo keep going on, yeah, on
Moulty!Don't turn away (You're gonna make it, baby)Don't turn away (Ah, try to make it, baby)Don't turn away
Things are better for me nowCause I found that I love musicSo I learned to play the drumsAnd got myself a band and nowWe're starting to make itAnd if you can make itAt something you loveWow, you got it allSo I'm saying this to all of youAll of you who think you'll never make itAll of you guys and girlsCause you think you're so bad offOr maybe you think you'reA little different or strangeSo listen to me nowCause I've lived through it all
Moulty!Don't turn away (You gotta keep on trying)Don't turn away (Well, don't you give up, baby)Don't turn away
Now there's just one thing that I needNot sympathy and I don't want no pityBut a girl, a real girlOne that really loves meAnd then I'll be the complete manSo I'm gonna tell you right now, listen
Don't turn away (you gotta, baby)Don't turn away (you gotta keep on trying)Don't turn away, don't turn away
