From a separate article: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/13/trans-university-worker-hoped-widdecombe-had-extremely-pain/

Heather Herbert, a transgender woman, said it was "good news" that the former Tory minister had died and hoped she was "handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony" during her last moments.

The only positive news our community ever gets on this miserable shithole of an island is that someone who spent their life gleefully immiserating us dies. God forbid we enjoy it a little.

Agreed. I have a handful of people in mind where I will throw a party when they die. One of which is jkr. I might even bake a mold themed cake
