Kate/William Hoax Call

[snoopy1239]

Does this seem OTT to anyone else or have I missed something?
It's not like the nurse revealed secret CIA information.
And surely it's a bit harsh to blame the DJs for the suicide of the nurse who merely passed the phone over - could they really have been the trigger?
I understand that the 'palace' didn't even issue a complaint, and that the hospital had been fully behind the nurses.
I actually feel a bit sorry for the DJs now; seems like bandwagon-jumping.

Agree with all of this, tragic for everyone involved but no need for the ´s to be overly villified.

Careful, don't want the jack of diamonds getting a brick through his window.

It's always the bloody jack of diamonds though, usually with his mate the jack of spades.

Well it seems almost certain they were the trigger, but it is very unlikely they were the underlying cause, if that makes sense.  It must be fairly unpleasant to find yourself held up to ridicule worldwide for a simple mistake. 

The whole thing is pretty depressing and I feel sympathy for all the parties involved.

Makes me wonder if you can ever blame someone else if someone commits suicide. All of us have done things which upset other people, you never know when someone will be emotionally fragile enough to take their own life. This was a high profile example.

I don't think anyone can blame the two Aussies for the ultimate outcome, however I will say that breaching security, privacy and ridiculing someone for 'entertainment' is pretty irresponsible, hopefully this will put other entertainers off doing cheap pointless stunts like this in the future.

You cant blame the 's they were just having a laugh, its not like Kate was on her death bed or like said before not like the nurse gave out top secret information.

If the nurse hadnt committed suicide everyone would have been talking about in a laughing manor, seems as if now she is dead everyone is jumping on the band wagon and blaming the dj's.

All seems a bit strange to me, apparently the hospital hadnt disciplined her or anything so does seem a bit strange that she would commit suicide.

I'm laughing heartily whilst my brain is trying to unscramble whether that is racist or just funny

Could be the DoE bringing his special chums out of a 15 year retirement..

One of my mates- massive conspiracy theorist thinks she was knocked off by the Royal family cos she knew too much!

[aaron1867]

 You forget to mention was there any need for 's to create the prank? It was after all, just a bit of morning sickness.

I'm sorry if you don't agree here, but I don't listen to Radio to hear presenters making pointless pranks, I listen for music, news and for discussion.

Prank should have never happened and both radio and presenters are partly to blame for this sad loss of life.
