We’re

not completely heartless here at Wasted Inches. We realise that the death of a member of the Royal family is a legitimate news story. But don’t you think that today’s hagiographies are taking it all a bit too far?

This is a bit of a strange one. As we’ll see over the next few days, I think the tabloids rather misjudged public feeling here. The general public didn’t seem to be quite as interested in the Queen Mother’s death as the tabloids thought they should be.
