I was a little surprised at first that a violent bully like Moat could get so many floral tributes, but perhaps I was falling for the tabloid stereotype of an isolated demon.
In fact Moat had lived in the area for a long time and clearly a lot of people actually liked him and felt the need to make some gesture. Doesn’t make them evil nor lessen his crimes of course.
I sometimes feel as if I’m the only person in Britain who doesn’t have a mobile phone. I did own one once but gave it up as hardly anybody wanted to talk to me. And no, I’m not expecting any sympathy.
paul – i wonder if moat is on his way to becoming the new diana (flowers outside his old house, conspiracy theories about his death, a place in that corner of the express front page…)
Well, you wait 13 years for a Tory prime minister, then when you get one he won’t ban the burkha! Don’t you just hate it when that happens. It’s enough to make any self-respecting Express reader vote BNP.
What no ‘ethnics’ story today.

What a terrible front page!
More flowers than Saint Diana?

You could try not mentioning Islam whenever you answer unless, of course, you’re talking to telesales.
@ JSwindle:
LOL!

It is my ambition to be the only person in the world that has’nt a mobile phone.
I think i’m getting close.

@ Phil:
Well said. Surely randomly banning items of clothing should be the top of any incoming government’s “To do” list???
