Peaches Geldof has died

[boyla]

On Sky News they said 'News presenter Peaches Geldof has died'. I thought she was soley famous for being Bob Geldof's daughter and taking drugs. I feel for the kids she's leaving behind though.

Yes fuck this drug taking whore.

Not plugged into the system to lament a Z-list celebrity.

This person doesn't seem to have done anything with her life, so why on earth is it getting all this attention? She's called Peaches for goodness sake. What has the world come to? I'm surprised she wasn't on the missing plane too.

Heroin ...... Not exactly a surprise. Stupid selfish person.

It's being reported that Peaches may have been pregnant when she died.

Poor little Poppy China White Dragon Smack Charlie would have never stood a chance.

Lots of bitchy comments about heroin, but if it was alcohol, I suppose that would be more socially acceptable?

Most of us drink, but is heroin so terrible? William Burroughs recovered from alcohol induced jaundice by going back on the junk. It seems to have its uses. As a society we will demonise anything that we are told to, but shouldn't do so. Alcohol and fags are the biggest killers and I don't begrudge this person I have never known using a drug that the American government and international banks are openly laundering money for. We invade Afghanistan and opium production increases ten fold. It is no coincidence.

I have no idea who Peaches Geldof is but it is obvious she was into a drug that has become much more available and cheaply obtained via a gibberish war on terrorism. I have no idea about her personal situation, but I do think heroin is demonized and especially as we have massively hypocritical drug laws in all too many countries.

'Ooh, heroin! Nasty' people automatically assume. But legal drugs are numerically the worst in terms of official death estimates.
