there is a great biography of Richard III by Paul Murray Kendall which looks at all the evidence. Kendall is very pro-Richard, and is flummoxed – there are so many pro- and anti- arguents, and Kendall argued that if Richard did kill them he may well have been haunted by it for the rest of his reign.

It was Jimmy Saville

He might well be nnocent of that murder of the Princes….

the Royals have said they’ll refuse to let him be buried in Windsor or Westminster..they suggest Leiecester Cathedral…

I reckon York Minster would be good…he was very popular in York and always felt it was his home…

they’ve arrested a gentleman…

I just hope she’s alive.

I just get really anxious when these things happen..keep looking at the news…I did at the time of Soham, though I think everyone did and does…

yeah, wordsworth, the kids I’ve known, including teenagers, don’t talk…

well, the employers are still alive, and they need to be investigated in the public interest, whether Jim tried to fix it with them by threatening to withold funds or whether they were scared he might.

Which comes first – an employer’s duty to proitect the employee, a legal obligation, or the protection of funds??

I always find these cases scary and worrying. I try not to think about them too much, as they really are disturbing, but they have to be thought about.

A very long time ago (1931) Fritz Lang made a film called M, about a child sex murderer. It still grips today, though it was one of the first talkies.

Relevant point number one is the political…[Read more]

a good post, poli(and thanks to Mrs T for an earleir post.

Many people are scared to speak up to abuse for a number of reasons. One is family – if a member of the family molests you, you are frightened and embarrassed. Depends on your age, of course. Another – maybe relevant here – is a threat to your livelihood. If you complain about St Jim,…[Read more]

I have known this man since Top of the Pops in the 1960s. I have seen Jim’ll Fix It. I have noticed the way he handles his cigars.

I say….

and when it all comes to an end,
and you know you’re round the bend
look back upon your only friend
and say

It may, or may not, be a sign of progress in that the computer allows us to shift our sarcastic comments and angry biting from behind closed doors to anonymous confrontations. At least nobody is killed – usually.

Also, the sad fact is that biting and sarcasm kicks a room off, while socials troking can get pretty boring if it’s confined to hello…[Read more]

While the teacher and the good boys were searchng for us, we were having a nice lunch in Grasmere.

Didn’t have any girl teachers. Was a boys-only school, unfortunately.

I didn’t run off with any of the girl pupils, though.

I believe that Bishop Bell Church of England school in Eastbourne organise some pretty exciting school trips.

We had a trip to Grasmere, and the first thing I did was run off. They all spent the rest of the day looking for me.

Louis the Fourteenth even had someone hold his potty while he relieved himself. The…[Read more]
