Message to Journalists.

The man who murdered Shelly Armitage, Susan Blamires, and Susan Rushworth has adopted a media friendly nickname. Presumably in some hope of whipping up another media gorefest with a horror movie name, where he can find himself a celebrity.

Message to journalists- while  I appreciate that such a gore fest would sell many papers, and allow you to whip up outrage- could use some sense? Allow this to be treated as what it is, not continue what this man is so clearly trying to start? Remember there are real women, and real problems which underpin this terrible tragedy.

Aftermath of the David Laws hiccup.

‘Chief Secretary to the Treasury resigns following fraudulent claim’ is a fairly damaging epitaph to a short political career.

Whizzkid Treasury official drummed out by rampant homophobia, at a heavy price to the country, slightly better.

David Laws isn’t going anywhere fast. His position as Chief Secretary to the Treasury was untenable, because of the relation of his offence, to his position.

He will pop back up with a different job soon enough, the waters around the end of his last post muddy enough that his reputation remains intact.

Lets face it, the revolving door between banks and the treasury, means that he doesn’t even need to be an MP to have influence there.

Methinks he has come out of a sticky situation rather well, although the questions this raises about our inability to think straight when the idea of a man having sex with another man crops up, are quite disheartening.

Politics is a grubby business.
