Well you can’t feel too sad when someone that age passes on, but it does feel she has taken a bit of history with her.
I just hope she/her memory won’t be used as a political tool.
What a life she had, lived through grim and happy times. Although it’s pretty grim now again.
Well, if it can, it will.
I assumed she’d been gone for decades tbh, i was surprised to hear today’s news.
Gawd bless her.

RIP Vera

Am I the only person who can't abide that song. Can't put my finger on it but it really makes my teeth itch.
103....that's a long time to be alive. Good work.
While I'm sad when anyone dies (103 isn't a bad innings though), its just ushered in yet another splurge of sepia-tinted world war 2 nostalgia and flag-waving from the gammons.
Just what we need
Boris, Cummings and co must be working furiously to see what other $hit they can announce today and Raab must be delighted that his gaffe is being kept out the headlines.
