Is that the girl who was killed by her brother? What's with the other weirdo who just happened to stumble across her body and instead of alerting the authorities like any normal person would do, started interfering with her corpse. Has he been sentenced yet?

In other news, the jury is still out after the 9 month trial of Lucy Letsby. I've been following that quite closely as there is a brilliant podcast on it. I'm not convinced the victims will see justice for this. It'll take a brave jury to convict a neo-natal nurse of multiple murders on circumstantial evidence. I think they will be deliberating for a few weeks yet.

Lucy Letby case is a nightmare for a jury. It looks nailed on that she did it but I can’t see how a jury can convict?

I think the only point that might sway the jury to convicting her may be the use of insulin. Every other case could potentially be put down to unfortunate accidents - feeding tube dislodged, excessive air from chest compression etc but both defence and prosecution have agreed that the only way the insulin could have got in to the saline bags was by someone physically putting it in there.

Apparently refused to come to court the last couple of days.

Is she evil or mentally ill? I thought it sounded like Munchausen by proxy from the start. I have been wondering if this will come up in pre-sentencing psychological reports.

That’s your right wing conspiracy nuts making the case for her being innocent. I don’t know how they have the energy

Granted it's not as depraved as the issues on my previous post but what's with the new orange lidded wheelie bins?

I live in a van so don't get wheelie bin, what am I missing out on with these fancy new ones?

While I'm at it. I don't know where I stand on capital punishment but when I was watching a program about police raiding an illegal dog fighting yard I thought to myself if a predator drone was to fire a missile and obliterate every human who goes to watch that kinda thing, surely that could only be a good thing for the greater humanity? Would anyone miss those kind of people?

Every single one of them needs removed from society, as they’re not wired up right. I wouldn’t be against using a drone strike.

If somebody wanted to wipe out the fox hunting community, I wouldn’t be against that either. Total wrong uns with tiny tiny baby balls

When Blair’s lot introduced some sort of nebulous ban earlier this century, my boss mentioned it in passing. I declared my enthusiastic support for it as the horsey would-be aristos need a good fûcking kicking now and again (preferably about once an hour). She (you really dinna want pics, Judith’s oxters would be safe even from the Sobchack vas deferens-jets) asked: “So you’re opposed to fox-hunting on class grounds.”
“You’re darn tootin, ma’am*, but I’m none too keen on innocent mammals being torn asunder by badly-treated dogs either”.
