Total revulsion

I have had to turn the TV off as the report came in of the Guilty verdict passed on the couple who set fire to their house apparently in an attempt to "frame" his mistress, resulting in the death of their 6 children.
Words to describe how I feel about these monsters simply fail me. No sentence a British court can pass seems adequate and while not a vindictive person, I suspect they will get their just deserts once in prison

J08 - yes it is both great big hypocrites!

Explain why not J08.. both were making money out of using vulnerable and dysfunctioning people as entertainment. They are not serious documentary programmes.

When is any documentary serious or exploitative not entertainment?

By definition all are made to be shown on television for people to choose or not choose to watch in their free time. Does anyone watch television only as a penance?

When it is made by David Attenborough! smile

Surely there are few groups that could start a conversation about dead children and end with David Attenborough.

Go Gransnet!
