I think there is a difference, but I am sure you will correct me if you think I am wrong.

I really do not think that you are wrong in your opinion of the media ... or, more, precisely, the boob toob. I do, however, think that a free press is an essential component of any democracy. I was going to suggest that you use the "off" button on the remote; but I see that you already mentioned that the remote is permanently attached to your old man.

No doubt the police would charge the vandals with criminal damage Tealeaf

If the cops had any sense, they would vandalise it themselves.

Could it be the same one as the rest of us?

Maybe, just maybe, there had been a good side to this guy?

I can't from the bullshine put forward from the 'press' and folk on here, see where it was, but before all that brought him into the media's eye, perhaps there was something that was worthwhile about him?

Nope, I'm fighting against myself here,

I haven't seen anything, I can't believe I'm typing this, except for the metaphor about not speaking ill about the dead.

Whatever he did, he won't do again, why are we being so vicious?

Like with Fred West and other swine, the memory will recede for us, but not for those involved or his relatives, at least we aren't expected to lay a wreath as a memorial.

Let's just hope it will be a long time before such danger is allowed out of prison onto the streets again.

O.K. it will probably be less than a fortnight, before something else like this happens. But the press will only be there if it's 'exciting'.

A few bunches of flowers from a garage forecourt, fair enough.

But it's getting ridiculous now.
