Well...it's on TV, it's in colour, and Lloyd Robertson says so.....so it MUST be true

It is a horrendous time for the families AND the community.

As someone who is not so far from where Harold Shipman (GP serving time for 15 murders, but suspected of many more +100, in reports) once practised in UK, I am aware of how much this type of thing can affect the community.

A real breach of trust that lasts for a long time.

Old Cynic that I am, I ceased to be surprised at such revelations many many years ago. Very little surprises me any more.

I've just noticed something. The guy is a Brit.

Yet another British Expat gets a permanent ban.

And, judging by the press today, getting weirder by the minute. No wonder he's on suicide watch.

I was just reading that, I couldn't agree more. There was also an article suggesting he was a panty snatcher and only recently graduated to these awful crimes, indicating that perhaps there wont be a bunch of cold cases associated with him. Time will tell I guess.

Our local free newspaper was certainly a lot thicker than usual yesterday!
