Owd jaconell still did the best ice cream in Scarborough though,miles better than the pennas ****e we had in hull...fact
Given the thread is about Sutcliffe I like many reiterate what has been said previously.. always amazed me how he survived so long inside .. however I did hear that in some quarters he was reveered due to giving the police the run around for so long. As for Saville .. there are again rumours that his friendship with the Royals allowed him to get away with an awful lot, despite people being in the know regarding his predatory ways. Funny that considering what and whom Prince Andrew has been linked with !
I stayed in Scarborough in 1968, with my (at the time) stunning girl friend. We went to Jaconellis most days for ice cream. I remember he always paid us special attention and on the last day he insisted it was on the house. I thought it was because he fancied my girl that he was so kind, but on reflection it might have been me he fancied. Shiiiiiiiit!
When he was interviewed, his wife used to provide an alibi. Th recent tv doc on BBC4 also focused on the woefully inept and bungling police ops, and the shameful lack of holding to account by these overpaid bungling rozzers.when the dust had settled. Like the SYP after Hillsboro these dodgy cops escaped proper accountability for their incompetence/malpractice. It seems the WYP have said 'Sorry' for their offensive language when discussing the case 40 years ago and distinguishing between 'respectable' women and the rest. How about 'Sorry' for letting all those women get murdered.because you completely bungled the investigation?
Now that the despicable ‘Yorkshire Ripper’ is dead, cue the raft of documentaries trying to justify his actions and why he felt it was necessary to murder and mutilate his victims. I hope he rots in hell.
For someone such as him, a judge has to decide if he is sane or not. Given the magnitude of his crimes, it would be difficult for any judge to rule that he was sane and not mentally ill.
I'm not often moved to spontaneous outbursts of emotion but on hearing of Sutcliffe's demise on the radio at quarter to eight this morning I loudly exclaimed 'See ya, ya Bastard' and started crying. I was alone and doing 70 at the time, which meant I pulled myself together rather quickly. My next conscious thought was 'Well done Covid you got one who deserved it'. RIP to all victims and survivors who have since passed. Sutcliffe you cowardly ****. Attacking women from behind with a hammer. You died and because of that, the world is a better place tonight.
Jim Jeffries does a good monologue an that sort of thing. Basically pointing out that the Devil's never written a book, so we only have the word of those that hate him, and if you were a really bad bastard on earth, he wouldn't be punishing you in hell, he'd be celebrating your work.
Agreed, but hopefully they would have decided his actions were pre-meditated and treated him accordingly. I think he knew exactly what he was doing at the time. Either way, we have paid to keep him alive until today. A complete waste of tax payers money and resources.
I always thought that Andy was a tw*t when I saw him at Sandwich during the British open golf some years ago, being followed by his brown nose entourage. No surprise that he was outed as a dodgy character. If he hadn't ever been upstairs in Maxwell's Mayfair house. How did he know the photo of him and the girl was taken upstairs? Then he spent a week in a convicted traffickers Manhattan home. He's an arsehole. No better than saville et al.
The cops had literally millions of pieces of paper stacked in drawers, but clearly not the skills to manage the data flow and there was a lack of case management skills. It was in the days before computerised systems and sophisticated software. I'm sure Scotland yard were asked to take over the enquiry, but it never happened for some political reason.
Wasnt it twelve times? You see film footage of the police sorting through paperwork at the time and realise just how much easier that aspect computers must make it
I didnt know that. I worked in Hull children's homes at the time (mid 80's). Many of Core's stories were very sensationalist, including children involved in cults, satanism and sacrificial rituals, which I'm not sure were ever proven. It was at a time when society actually started accepting that sex abuse in families existed, and that enabled more child victims to talk about it. If she really did start the helpline which now helps so many children, then she deserves a lot of recognition. I'd like to see the evidence though.
