"Finally, Mr. DeMille, MY CLOSE-UP!"

It's human nature to love the spotlight.

It's good therapy, too.

That's why you often see, OVER and OVER, a relative of the deceased become a celebrity. In America, a popular example would be the father of Ron Goldman, who, brandishing his eye-catching wax mustache, vowed to stay in front of the cameras till O.J. Simpson went to jail.

Despite becoming somewhat of a pain in the ass, Mr. Goldman's tenacity and visibility gave the world a bit of joy when he ultimately won a civil suit that hit O.J. in the bank account. BUT...don't say that the man was not enjoying his chance to thunder orations in front of the world.

Having his close-up had to have been a rewarding part of the grief process.

Likewise, in the U.K. there was the once-obscure brother to Princess Diana, who suddenly emerged as the face of...what was it, the face of being pissed off, I guess.

Indeed, at a time when most anyone might be with the kids and the relatives, or in seclusion, Jo's hubby is making the rounds, and watching as the GoFundMe money rolls in.

We can't be completely cynical. Since Jo was against Brexit, and her killer a lunatic right winger, you can't blame the widower for shooting off his mouth about his wife's "political" death, or taking a stab at the pro-Brexit people. He's got a killer platform for it, and who knows, since he may fancy himself drop-dead gorgeous, he could aim for a political career now, himself.

The public's attention span is short. Now's the time to kneejerk the money, whether all of it goes to "charity," some of it goes to funeral expenses, or a bunch of it goes to pay for the kiddies to go to college someday. Jo paid a higher price than that "Chewbacca Mom" who has gotten over a half-million just for laughing like an obese hyena.

Once Brexit is defeated in a few days, that'll be it. Money that could've gone to Jo and charity will go to buying photos of Prince Harry, replicas of Kate's frocks, and 200 more obscure 45's at a boot sale. Jo's hubby may or may not even get elected if he chooses to run for office. It will depend on how much time elapses before there's an election.

On Long Island, Carolyn McCarthy was elected to Congress due to the death of her husband. He was killed by a mad black lunatic who shot up the commuter train that Mr. McCarthy and others were in. She ran mostly on an "anti-gun" platform. She was elected and, yes, assault rifles ARE banned in New York, one of the few states that has such a ban.

No question, Jo's death has moved the needle from 50-50 in the polls, to more like 54-46 in favor of staying, and here are the fabulous Beckhams to add a little glamour. It's a hard combination to beat: a grieving widower and his tots, and two "sex symbol" celebutards that millions of lumpy morons worship as their betters.
