On the bounce maybe, globally he was supposedly quite popular although I understand he was very reactionary and conservative.

Not religious but seemed a decent old bloke RIP , expect we'll hear a bit about him during the bigot fest whenever it is

Pele's death and the planned minutes applause at all SPFL games has certainly saved the gunts hierarchy from what would have definitely been a no win situation for them.

Never took to him with his expensive tastes and form in covering up priests invloved in child abuse, iirc.

He did nowt to give justice to those abused by sick paedophiles. Another one who abused his power. Just like the Queen I feel nothing.

I never feel anything when people i don't know die to be honest , yes its a shame obviously but you can't grieve for a stranger regardless how famous they are

This.

I've heard recently about some brutal deaths of folk so young leaving behind young families. It's them my heart goes out to.

Not a Queen or Pope in their 90's that ultimately couldn't give a fuck about those in absolute need.

Non of them, at that level, give a fuck about anything other than preserving their own image. The really sad thing is that many millions, probably billions, cant see anything wrong and many millions continue to suffer.
