    She only made it to 78 because Satan was busy creating a new level of Hell for her.

    I’m sure these comments will have a treat the situation with all the decorum it deserves…

      Indeed, plenty of decorum and respect of the sort that Ann frequently showed to people different to her

      Wtf, I assumed she’d just died of old age. Now that is a twist

      Hang on, they’re suggesting she was murdered?

      Not just fell down the stairs

    It's worth pointing out here that it is perfectly possible to (a) think that Widdecombe was a thoroughly vile person and (b) deplore her murder.

    I thought she was a dreadful woman with appalling views but no-one, not even Ann Widdecombe, deserves to be murdered.

    Well, almost no-one.
