I'll always remember her getting destroyed in debate by Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens.

The best time was decades ago. The second best time is now.
A 78 year old woman, who lives alone, gets beaten to death in her own home and you think this is appropriate.
You sick fuck.
She spent her life working hard to make the life of vulnerable people she hated as miserable as possible.
I don't believe in an afterlife of punishment so I hope she died frightened and in pain as that's all she got for her lifetime of punching down rather than address her own fucked up hangups.
I'm only replying to double down, not to defend myself. The world is a better place without her and I'm not ashamed for one second for wishing that miserable ghoul harm. If you think less of me for it, do so, because I'm unrepentant.
Lol get you playing at the edge lord of the day.
She was utterly useless and ineffectual and never made it as far as a minister in the government of the day.
The world is better off without her in it but normalising murder is a red line.
I didn't plot her murder.
I didn't call for it either.
I'm not wishing an eternity of literal suffering for her.
I'm not opening a beer to celebrate or posting memes about it.
I'm not suggesting it's what lots of other people should have happen to them either.
I get to be pleased that a nasty piece of work came to a nasty end. How I feel about it has no bearing on what happened.
You clearly don't feel as strongly as I do, which is fine, but I genuinely do feel this way about her. Policing how I feel about her is a bit weird to me, frankly.
Ideologically, Widdecombe identified herself as a social conservative and stressed the importance of traditional values and conservatism. As a member of the House of Commons, she opposed the legality of abortion, opposed granting LGBT people legal rights such as the same age of consent as heterosexuals, and opposed the repeal of Section 28. She supported reintroduction of the death penalty for murder, though more narrowly applied than previously. She was opposed to all forms of assisted dying.

She wasn't a conservative, she was a radical regressive
What could you possibly think is regressive about this?
/s
in 2008, Widdecombe claimed that the "science of climate change is robustly disputed",[64] then, in 2009, that "There is no climate change, hasn't anybody looked out of their window recently?"[65] She was one of the five MPs who voted against the Climate Change Act 2008.[64][66]
The previous year, she voted to support a parliamentary motion in favour of homeopathy, disagreeing with the Science and Technology Committee's Report on the subject.[67]
Figures that Mitch McConnell can't even set a trend properly. Had to wait for somebody else to go first.
The tortoise doesn't always beat the hare
I'll never forget that Victoria Wood skit about her:

Edit: Oh wow... apparently she was murdered..?
I've been (vaguely) looking for this since it was new. A friend quoted it having seen it during the Christmas holidays (presumably, given the theming). No further context was given and that was, well, decades ago!
