Sutcliffe

As for Littlejohn, well...
I read his remarks in the mail article and I’m horrified. The lives those women led might not be the lives we would choose, but who are we to judge? We don’t know what led them down the path to prostitution. We can sit in our comfortable homes and pass judgement, but really, should we? There but for the grace of God go I. And, if there wasn’t a market for paid sex, there would be no prostitutes (of any sex) would there, and no exploitation, would there?
I know, I’ll be castigated for looking at it simplistically, but these columnists who write what they write to make a name for themselves, do they ever consider they might have siblings, children, friends, etc, who could quite easily be led onto a path far from what they would wish for them to be on due to circumstances they could never have envisaged?
It’s so easy to make cruel remarks, much greater not to.

I’m not shedding any tears.

No loss at all, I agree “Charleygirl5*.

Peter Sutcliffe is no loss.

Sallywally1 thank you for referring to him as Sutcliffe, to use the name that many in the press ascribe to him is giving him a sort of "status" (sorry, not the right word, but hopefully my meaning will be understood) that is utterly wrong.

Richard Littlejohn - still going strong and a darling of the right

30 years later when 5 women were murdered in Ipswich by another serial,killer, this is what Daily Mail columnist wrote on that esteemed paper ( part of a longer article full of misogynistic elitist filth)

‘That doesn't make it justifiable homicide, but in the scheme of things the deaths of these five women is no great loss.

They weren't going to discover a cure for cancer or embark on missionary work in Darfur. The only kind of missionary position they undertook was in the back seat of a car.‘

He’d write the same today

Glad he's gone!

My other gripe is that the controlling monster still got his own way by refusing to be treated for Covid.

And an apology----how many years later ?----by police who investigated the case.

And the way in which the women who were his victims were talked about. I am shedding no tears.
