Normally I might comment on trial by media influencing the accused’s right to a fair trial, but I don’t think I’ll waste my breath in the case of this evil bastard. One way or another, he’s going away for a long time.
ARGH!!!! WHERE!?!?!?
Fritzl can only be described in various words which Merk wouldn’t print (For obvious reasons). I hate that he had to cover his face with a ring binder because that’s the only photo we now have of him.
“Win this campervan and you too can park on the lawns of Daily Express readers claiming to be a Gypsy clan!! Yaye!!!”
Urgh. I agree, I despise trial-by-tabloid, but this guy has to be about the sickest I’ve heard about in a very long time, and it’s hard to think of any non-emotive, even remotely nice thing to call him.
Have we not got enough made up British news to merit a front page?
I’m sure we’ll be treated to another 3 months of vile descriptions of what this c**t did.
Turning human tragedy into salacious gossip is what the Express does best, Matt.
Whatever the info is regarding this awful, awful case, I still had to smile at the headline, purely because its the Express.
“Your complete gift guide to Mothers day”, for people who can’t think of what their Mum’s may like and where to get it.
I wonder if one of the DE ‘journalists’ like Leo McKinstry will pen a story linking Fritzl to Brown and ZanuLiebourPF?
Is Leo McKinstry the fella who looks like a toad?
I guess they had to report it – but I’d bet that a stack of what’s in there is comment and speculation & not actually much reporting at all.
I also loathe the way they headline this.
‘Monster’ closes down the thinking.
It was a ‘Monster’, an exception, so that’s alright then.
Nevermind the true level of all sorts of abuse going on in our society, it’s only this sort of ‘Monster’ we need to worry about.
Of course in this instance it was exceptional; but in some ways that ought to be less prominent.
At least, surely, a little less prominent than the thousands of cases of battered wives and kids up and down the country on the books of our social services depts/local authorities?
Still, f*ck him, eh?
Lock him away for the rest of his natural and carry on blithely ignoring or unaware of the more numerous & closer to home abuses going on, right?
Meantime Dick Sh!thead gets a platform week in week out to slag off social workers (and pretty much anyone working in the public services) as a waste of time.
You couldn’t make it up, as a certain risible f*ckwit regularly say in his column.
Strange headline that. Almost saying that being raped 3000 times by your father is as bad as him not talking to you for 9 years, or that having a chat and maybe a cup of tea with her would have been the least he could have done…
much as i’d agree with calling him a monster (and worse), it can’t exactly be fun for the daughter or the rest of the family to be reminded of it all the time by newspaper front pages all over the world.
I guess the question is whether they’ll use this case to lobby for capital punishment to be brought back.
How much does he look like George Galloway?
I think the case to bring back capital punishment has been severely undermined ( quite rightly ) by the case today of the guy who spent 27 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit.
Someone ought to get him some glasses if he’s so short sighted that he has to hold his books so close
