Jay Slater #13

[VC10]

I found it hysterical , with posts like
" my brotha has offered to help look an fly to tenerife but he's just bin released on licence..."

And that woman in a mobility gurney offering her help , on a mountain.........

It was a tit-show from start to finish, including his funeral.

£72,000 +, and a gifted funeral service....

Hey if people want to gift you a funeral when you're going through immense pain then
Why not it's a way for others to pay respects to Jay and help the family. I gave money for a bench to a family who lost a baby. That little is a lot for some but the biggest gift to anyone is kindest. In paticularly from strangers because we don't expect it and it restores faith in humanity.

I think turning up to a funeral, paying into a fund are all great ways of showing support to a family in pain. They are broken, lost.

I use my own life experience to help other people going through tough times if I can make it easier with advice, loving support or financial help or just by sending a warm message on a comments page I'm sure going to do it just like so many others. Let's be glad we live in a world with people who have the empathy for others.
It's nice to see.

Right now that's a family who have lost a sibling, a child. Their youngest. That immense pain is immeasurable. Knowing they won't have him wake them up, annoy thrm; cuddle them. You miss it all when you lose a sibling or child. You lose a part of you that you need to reco struct to face the world again.

Jay is the one they looked after and they will still be struggling to sleep and waking up hoping his death is just some nightmare.
You can't get use to losing a child as a parents life generally revolved around them and that pain runs deep and despite the furore over the criminal trouble he got into ( yes it's bad I know!) is still someone's boy, somebodies best friend and worthy of being loved and missed. Even by strangers. I know I'm one of them.

We all hope that family have the closure and have the love and the support to help ease their raw pain. RIP Jay

I feel bad for the family of the lad who disappeared in Bristol who didn’t get anywhere near as much coverage as this did. He’s still missing too.

Who had to search through CCTV themselves

I agree with most of what you’ve said but how will £72,000 ease their pain? It won’t, nothing will, so why don’t they give it to a missing persons charity in memory of Jay where it would hopefully help other families going through a similar thing?

There’s an amazing charity based in NI that does work for repatriation for those that die overseas. Their son died and they had a real struggle so they set up the charity to help others and I know people who have been helped by them. I don’t know about the legalities in British law etc so don’t know whether the home office paid for him to come back or not but either way that 70k could be used to support so many people.

One moment, please...

Yes apparently youtubers and people in social media are pushing so it's getting somewhere but I think behind the scenes.
It's shocking because there is so little.

His friends should actually speak out publically here because they were last ones with him and they need to answer questions.
It's a shame qe have doorbell cams and dash cams, personal CCTV and the police shouldve acted so people can have a look at their cameras, mobiles etc. There is no way there's just these seconds of footage.

Didn't he also go to a party that night before he disappeared? I heard this twice but no details on this.

It's definately sad when some cases get more coverage be it Slatera or the McCanns.

Quite often with these cases they don’t release all of the details, so he may have been struggling and decided he doesn’t want to be here anymore or just wants to disappear. There may be something to indicate that was the case so sadly it doesn’t get the same resources or publicity. I’m not saying that’s what’s happened here but can often explain why some cases appear to get more help than others

I’m sorry but I just saw a video of the wake and they had a post box and light up letters like you would at a wedding

 

[craftingfroze]

I’m in disbelief at all these kids filming and sharing what surely should be private ie throwing flowers in an open grave (as drake and Shakira play) and then everyone dancing on tables 🫠 honestly anything for a bit of clout on their socials

Postbox for donations?

 

[Jemimah]

Just stood all over other peoples graves. No respect whatsoever.

If I get buried I'm going to arrange for spring-button activated skeletal hand to come up (think Carrie) and grab the ankle of the ignorant twit standing on me

So Jay was due to start a business with his best friend. Jay leaves for a holiday before his final exams. Lots of rumours of drugs, stolen watch...was this Jay trying to fund a new business and dabbled in the wrong stuff with the wrong people?

New business, exams, apprentice brickie, hype man for stabbers, drug dealer, trafficker, mule.
Jack of all trades, unfortunately he was a master of none. 🪦

 

[charlied0106]

As chavvy as we all predicted

 

[Tangerine Cat]

I knew there'd be those tacky horses!!! And what's with the flares, flipping ridiculous.

I really offended someone on twitter saying the funeral would be tacky but of course it would be

 

[Bread]

I honestly cannot believe they've live streamed the funeral. I've not seen any of it nor do I care about the service, up to them, but streaming it is just ... I don't have words.

 

[Maleficent50]

I can honestly say in my 50 odd years on this planet I’ve never been to a funeral with a rave and dancing in on tables

Is that what they did? Jesus! What a tacky set of plebs!

What are your thoughts on those people who were walking over graves to get a better camera angle?

That type of horse was used on the wee Southport girls funeral and it looked perfect. I guess it's how you dress them?
