Quite right too Mrs Clean…. we can’t abide semi literate ranters gobbing off when they can’t even get their grammar right, much less their spelling.

does the term “rack off” still get used in Australia?
i remember it being the “in” word on neighbours a few years back before i stopped watching it
I think you mean ”Jack off” …. which term refers to the average Aussie’s sex life.
Kevin – have you met ’emmalush’ yet??? I have a feeling that you two would get along real fine !!!
I was kinda hoping that the phrase ”Aussie C*nt” would work its way in here – but there’s still time.
So are the BNP going the same way as the Liberals – with a similarly assorted collection of homo-porn stars , sodomites, and coprophiliacs as their members.
Maybe they could have a joint party political broadcast (or even a partly political broadcast?) with each one taking it in turns to shag the other up the shitter on camera, whilst shouting political slogans to the audience?
I wonder what they could shout.
How about ”Up the Liberals – right up them” or ”Take THAT you BNP poofdah”; or ”Eat shit you fascist swine”?
Anybody care to suggest other slogans along these lines???
Well I enjoyed last night’s Part 2 as much as Part 1. I think that because we by then knew who had done what (in the terms of the ‘story’ ). It was really a matter of watching the legal process take its course. Maybe that was why the tone and flavour of Part 2 was not quite as enthralling as Part 1, but still as compulsive in an awful sort of way.
It was unbearably sad watching the unrewarded efforts of the Police to unravel the dreadful things that were done and to try to bring some peace to the poor parents who had their children ripped from their homes and coldly and callously murdered.
Just imagine how awful it must be for a parent to know that their child has been horrifically murdered all those years ago – and yet never to be quite sure. Always wondering if they are really really dead. Totally heartrending.
I thought that the acting was superb, and the portrayal of Myra Hindley was absolutely outstanding. She really conveyed that awful blank-eyed stare with utterly no compassion in it at all. And she was portrayed as an extremely manipulative person – which is exactly what she was – with no real remorse about her whatsoever.
I remember at the time (and for many years afterwards) Lord Longford (Paddy Packenham) campaigning endlessley to have her released on parole and claiming that she was ‘largely innocent’ of the crimes of which she was accused, tried, and convicted.
He believed the tissue of lies and half truths that she told him, and many others. A really dangerous woman indeed. 36 years in jail seems about right to me – 36 long long years of incarceration followed by her death and unmarked cremation.
I hope they didn’t spend any money on a coffin for her – just chucked her corpse into the oven and set fire to it.
We don’t hear much about Ian Brady though do we??? Strange that eh?
It’s interesting how people’s opinion has shifted a bit. Initially the general view was that the programme was sick and nobody wanted to see it and so on.
Now that Episode 1 has been shown, it would seem that those who saw it seem to generally feel that it has been pretty well done and accurately reflected the period and what went on.
I don’t agree that Myra Hindley was a ”victim” as such. She absolutely KNEW what was going on throughout the murders and she revelled in them just as much as Ian Brady did – although he was clearly the leader of the situation and she was the (willing) follower).
My guess is that Part 2 (tonight) will amplify this and show her up for the person she really is.
Jesus told me – after he’d taken his sandals off !!!
Well I watched this programme and I must say that despite my initial misgivings, I found it really interesting – from the historical point of view and frankly compulsive viewing.
I was around 20 when this stuff happened but I don’t really remember the actual details from the press. Only that the Judge ruled that a lot of the evidence was too horrific to be released to the public. There was a huge outcry of public anger at the time (and still is I guess) when the terrible details of the things that they did became public knowledge.
A couple of things from Episode 1 jumped out at me. I was surprised that the Manchester Police (of the time) seemd to take little interest in linking the disappearances of the various children especially as they seemed to be from around the same part of Manchester. They took little if any notice of the one Police Officer who was interested in following up the links.
Secondly I was really shocked that Myra Hindley’s mother (in the story) seemd to be so supportive of her daughter – who came over as a really nasty piece of work – to the extent that she had a go at Myra’s sister for reporting the murder (of Ian Wallace?) to the Police.
I can’t wait to see Episode 2 tomorrow night.
What does anybody else feel about this docu-drama ???
