News & politics

When is information perhaps too much?

Did we need to see a photo of his discarded jogging trousers and boxer shorts, as well as the knife on the beach?
I don't mean that the public should be protected from seeing these things, but to show 'exhibits' in the newspapers is going too far.
Poor wee lass.

Bad enough for the jury to have to listen and I'm sure they will never forget. It would be more respectful of this beautiful child and her family not to have the world know what happened to her tiny body. Bless her, she suffered.

The news in general seems much more graphic than it ever was.
I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel for the parents of that poor little soul.

I had to change channels as I couldn’t bear it. Once you know something you can’t then unknow it.
Were news reports always so prurient?
I think not.
Poor baby.

So wrong to make details public, who does it help ? No one ,
Sick, sick, sick, sick. The little mite should have been given respect and dignity

It's horrendous.

I am listening to the news item about the wee girl murdered on Bute. I find hearing the details both shocking and upsetting. How much worse for her family and friends.
