BeKind: can Caroline Flack’s final plea be more than just a hashtag?

Scanning the magazine aisle at her local supermarket last weekend, Nikki Evans suddenly felt sick. She was stocking up on celebrity and gossip weeklies for her beauty salon when she realised that she couldn’t face buying them any more.

When it's a man in the guardian, the death day is the time to bring up their alleged crimes but when it's a woman she's paraded as a national hero. If she was a bloke the headline would have been along the lines of 'don't forget she was an abuser'.

Its irreverent. Stay off social media if you can't accept someone slagging you off that you have never, ever met in your lifetime. It's the first step to a breakdown...

The sad thing is it will be more than a hashtag for a couple of weeks but then overtime it will fade and sadly the loop is likely to continue. It’s honestly sad how this will probably repeat itself

What's happening to the assault charges? Dropped?

Yes Flack was a perfect angel wasnt she maybe we should erect a statue of Flack outside buck palace so everyone can worship and praise her innocent memory.

The media has done a total Uturn. Now it's stories like this that insinuate she was totally without fault and lived every day of her own life 'being kind' . Nobody should ever kill themselves, but it's not right to paint an impression that she was the leading example of 'kind'

'... she loved journalists and newspapers. Above all, she loved being written about in them.' Enjoyed being written about in journalists What does this mean? If your English is that shit, you should NOT fancy yourself a journalist.

The abuser... She abused her husband.... What?

We are all imperfect...and can 'be kind' for so long, also it's very hard to be kind to people we don,t agree with.

What have we become having to ask? Being kind shouldn't be an aspiration it should be the norm. And we should always be more than an effing hashtag!!!!

It’s hard to be kind if people have been unkind to you. We need to be civil with those we disagree with and not take the piss/humiliate/make them look small. Can you ever further your argument/message with hating those who disagree? No.

ЕСЛИ ТЫ ОБ ЭТОМ СПРАШИВАЕШЬ , ЗНАЧИТ ЭТО УЖЕ БОЛЬШЕ ЧЕМ ХЕШТЕГ

Not when there are lefties about. They are full of hate if you express a different political opinion. And that is why Trump won and Boris won.

Shame BeKind only seems to apply to pretty women charged with a crime of violence, and not anyone else.

Ain’t gonna happen. Life is tough and people are cruel. Some people live with being mocked and harassed all their lives and they get on with it. It seems to me that the ‘beautiful people’ are the ones who fall to pieces when things suddenly don’t go their way.

Not in Britain.

Hey, ceviche and pisco sour are peruvian, though you at least research what you write.

Yes -be kind . Has anyone in the media used their platform to address the horror that her boyfriend has been subjected to? Attempted to protect him, from the danger of vile comments, blaming him ? All the “ be kind “, in the midst of someone publicly being subjected to vile .

Trolls are trolls

Unfortunately we are all subject to such temptations as envy, slander, hatred, lies etc etc and if we are not conscious of these things being sin then we are easily drawn towards the fishing media headlines which focus on gossip, slander and generally negative stuff. Avoid them!

And they say we have had so little snow this winter.

Like everything else, it'll fizzle out in a week or two. Life goes on, same old same old.

Obv not the press hav gotten away with worse and nothing changes

The reality is nobody in essence is kind... being hateful is so much easier than being nice as I’ve discovered over and over again

BeKind only seems to apply to folk people like or who’s opinions they ageee with. People are still hating on Meghan Markle to give one example.

Sorry, this is boring now

Of course not. It will be forgotten in a few weeks.

Unless you're MarinaHyde and you dont like patel4witham's face.

Of course

you can...

Does showbiz press have Caroline Flack's 'blood on its hands'?Celebrities criticise media following presenter’s death but reporters describe more complicated web of relationships Tempted to say yes. But I also weigh up that unfortunately, being a celebrity carries this kind of attention and again, unfortunately, it is how it is , whether we like it or not. Any person, celeb or working class, should never have to feel suicide is the answer. Real shame No Time to move on don't you think.
