Remember or Forget? The good and the bad

Have we not done enough for the two toe-rags who murdered Jamie Bulger? Sure they came from bad homes but enough has been spent on them since, with their new identities and permanent monitoring. Have you ever known a ten-year-old who would come within a million miles of doing what they did, dreadful backround or not? Now it seems one of them is back behind bars. It may be the best place for him. We can put our resources into helping children who are not getting one chance, let alone a second.


Good old Michael Foot and that donkey jacket. Great speaker and lovely man but the old boy will always be remembered for the warm coat he wore to lay poppies at the cenotaph. Likewise Maggie and her milk, Hezza and his helicopters, Edwina and her eggs and Wilson and his pipe. No one remembers that he started the Open University, only that he met the Beatles on telly. Don't suppose Harold is turning in his grave over that,probably because it's nice to be remembered at all.
