They recovered Edward Evans' body. The one they still have not found is that of Keith Bennett.

Ian Brady reads The Daily Mail. FACT.

Apologies, Abers. Quite right of you. Stupid mistake of mine.

Winnie Johnson was a remarkably determined, courageous mother and woman. To continue her search with all the dashed hopes over the years and still remain unbroken is testimony to her spirit, for the express to refer to her as Brady's last victim is imho as offensive as it is crass.

That's what is so annoying about the way they keep running to Denise Bulger for a quote at every opportunity - they simply perpetuate the image of her as a victim, and sadly she allows it to happen. I'm not blaming her for it: journos tend to be past masters at manipulating people like this, and they really don't care that they destroy people's lives by refusing to allow them to move on. It is noticeable however that some people do manage to escape into a dignified silence, and all credit to them; we seem to hear very little, for instance, from the parents of Jessica Chapman, and I respect them all the more for it.

It's not just the papers that do it - TV journalists are equally guilty.

A while ago I mentioned on another thread a study of "the families they left behind" news reports (local and national) about soldiers' families. Common images were sitting on a sofa, flicking through a photo album (and never going through photos on a computer or phone), playing with or tending to kids, sprucing up war memorials and graves and so on. Hardly any shots of the family member working, or engaging in any 'normal' activity. The aim was to cast the person as a grieving relative, their loss utterly consuming them. While I'm sure that sometimes is the case, it also does the double job of sentimentalising them, and negating anything they have to say, especially if it's going against the approved narrative ("oh leave them be, they're very upset, not thinking straight etc").

I've always suspected that the album is supplied by the film crew. Why take the chance that the grieving family doesn't have one?

Yup, it's appealing to the lowest common denominator, even though increasing numbers of people own, or can access, computers and are capable of using them. To a degree it's pissed journalist can't log onto PC syndrome. Technical proficiency is something for nerds, and to be sneered at, or ignored.

Holy fuck!! Is that a Scotsman in DBC?

In other news, I see they've not shifted that motorhome yet.
Maybe they should pimp it out to their pal at number 10 as a social housing solution.

That's too nice for social housing, it's got an inside toilet.

The kennel club may be a bit too respectable and PLU if they're going for a crazy-officials-cancelling-fun-whatever-next angle. Or they may be betraying their own/readers' roots slightly.

Andy Murray - well, that's at least 17 months to be proved right. Or to quietly forget it.

Weather - meh.

Campervan - I think that word may be getting out about the 'quality' of the prizes in some of the Express's campervan giveaways in the past.
