Suzanne Harrington: Can we leave the Coldplay couple alone now?
Are you mean? Not with money — although that sucks too — but towards others? We live, says author Stuart Jeffries in his brilliant forthcoming book on stupidity, in an age of 'spitegeist'. That is 'where joy in others' misfortune and in others' displays of ignorance is addictive'. Not since public executions in the town square have we been so united in our delighted spite, thanks to the speed and power of the internet. Shazam. We are all shrieking with laughter at your misfortune, in a town square gone global. The spitegeist is schadenfreude on steroids. You've slipped on a spectacularly stupid banana skin and we are crowding over you, gurning and hooting like gibbons. Hang on, though. Shouldn't we have evolved out of this by now? Not a chance. You'd think that Coldplay kiss cam couple had been caught killing kittens, or committing war crimes, the way we reacted. With hilarity, yes — not only was their reaction comedic (for us, not them), but it happened at a Coldplay concert. Ha ha ha ha. Double awful. But the spitegeist kept going, and destroyed the framework of their lives, despite no kittens having been killed, no war crimes committed. Adultery, yes, but these two were private citizens and this global town square was not Jeddah or Kabul or the 14th century — so why the tarring and feathering, the public drubbing? The moralising, the high-horsing? I'm not standing up for individuals cheating on their partners or families — come on — but for their right to be awful without the entire internet gathering pitchforks, and their company (now a household name — should the hapless Coldplay kiss cam couple invoice them for publicity services?) going turbo-puritanical on their ass. Since when does the corporate world, perpetually prepped to prostitute its own granny for profit, have the right to moralise about anything? Ever? In a country run by an elected racist rapist? Do me a favour. Similar spitegeisting happened to that New York-based, South African-born PR woman who in 2013 tweeted: 'Going to Africa. Hope I don't get Aids. Just kidding. I'm white!' Twelve stupid words to her 170 followers retweeted to a journalist with 15,000 followers equalled spitegeist multiplied by n — when she disembarked in Cape Town 11 hours later, she'd been fired from her job, internationally reviled, shamed as a crass, clueless racist. A modern monster. Trending worldwide as she turned her phone on, to tweets like: 'We are about to watch this @_____ bitch get fired. In REAL time. Before she even KNOWS she's getting fired.' In Jon Ronson's 2015 book So You've Been Publicly Shamed, the woman said she was not being racist, but highlighting an Aids situation nobody in the US bothered to think about: 'Living in America puts us in a bubble when it comes to what is going on in the world. I was making fun of that bubble.' The internet — which veers between South Park levels of humour and flaming pitchforks — missed the nuance. 'If I don't start making steps to reclaim my identity and remind myself of who I am on a daily basis, then I might lose myself,' she told Ronson. She did eventually recover from being spitegeisted — in that she's still alive, still working. Unlike Caroline Flack. Just a thought, but maybe we could redirect our spitegeist energy more productively towards the actively spiteful — the Trumps, the Tommy Robinsons, the public haters and dividers, the actual war criminals? And leave the ordinary idiots alone?

Construction worker killed after getting buried alive by ‘shifting dirt' in horror accident on site
Rescuers spent 13 hours trying to recover his body WORKPLACE HORROR Construction worker killed after getting buried alive by 'shifting dirt' in horror accident on site A CONSTRUCTION worker tragically died after becoming trapped beneath six feet of collapsing earth in Arizona. Ronald Andrew Baquera Jr., known as Ronnie, 44, was working on a site in Goodyear on Monday when a trench suddenly collapsed. Advertisement 3 Ronnie, a 44-year-old construction worker, tragically died after being trapped beneath six feet of collapsing earth Credit: 3 The dad-of-three was working in Goodyear on July 28 when a trench suddenly collapsed 3 An friend organised a vigil for him on Friday Credit: facebook/" Emergency crews were called to a construction site near Citrus and Lower Buckeye roads soon after 1pm on July 28, reports ABC15 News. They saw workers desperately using equipment to free Ronnie, who was trapped in a six-foot hole filled with fast-moving dirt. When crews took over, they noticed that as more dirt was being pulled out, more collapsed inward. Sensitive infrastructure on the site - including gas lines - meant crews had to use specialised equipment. Advertisement Tragically, within half an hour, the rescue turned into a gruelling 13-hour-long recovery mission. At around 2am on July 29, crews retrieved his body from the trench. Melissa Prado, the mum of two of Ronnie's children, told ABC15 News that the family is shocked. She said: "My daughter is really torn up. She spends almost every day with him. She's a little distraught, and my son's angry. Advertisement "They're not really coping too well. His hobby was his children.' Melissa said she is setting aside questions about what happened on that day. Oasis fan plunges to his death 'from upper tier' of Wembley stadium during reunion gig as witness reveals horror 'I'm sure it will come out,' she said. 'But I don't care to know right now.' Ronnie leaves behind two sons and a daughter. Advertisement His childhood friend Nate Costly organised a vigil at the site on Friday. People gathered to pay their respects to a man who would 'fix things with laughter or his hands', as gospel singer Shatera Williams described him. Nate wrote in a tribute posted on Facebook: 'Ronnie was a loving father and a loyal friend - brutally honest, endlessly caring, and unforgettable.' The state's worker-safety agency, ADOSH, told ABC15 that an investigation has been launched into whether there were safety violations at the site. Advertisement The outlet added that a safety report could take four to five months to complete. Just days later, Fred Gonzalez and his 18-year-old son were working in a trench just feet from the one that collapsed after being called to inspect nearby piping. Fred told local outlet AZ Central: 'It definitely feels eerie. We all are involved in the underground industry. "The trench they were working in was shored up with a metal box-like structure. It can happen.' Advertisement A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Ronnie's family with funeral and memorial expenses. It comes as a child died after becoming trapped in a storm drain during flash floods while playing outside with friends. Mason Kearns, 13, from Mount Airy, Maryland, was swept into the pipe on July 31 - just 20 feet from his home - after being caught in strong floodwaters.
