   Oh it'll bring no benefits - I never said it would. But he'll be no martyr -   
   that shithole is full of replacement psychos and mullahs. It was cathartic   
   for a   
   lot of people and compared to what he did to other people, it was pretty   
   just. Plus life's cheap in the East (Allport once censored me at Horizon for   
   saying that) The public carthasis element of capital punishment for truly   
   obscene   
   villainy is always overlooked. What a fillip it would have given the   
   country's mood if Ian Huntley had been publicly hanged on Clapham Common -   
   he'd have enjoyed the notoriety (psychos do) plus: he's been trying to top   
   himself since he went down. Instead he'll do 40 years in Broadmoor watching   
   television and taking drugs - an average Britisher's lifestyle, then, just   
   without the mortgage and the ill-paid labour. Many people would have shown   
   up at the hanging with some beers and chicken legs and a few gags. A fair   
   afternoon out. And what about the two scum that murdered Tom ap Rhys-Price?   
   The Clapham Common gallows or creative writing classes - to be encouraged to   
   work out how it was all whitey's fault anyway, blud - and the inevitable   
   conversion to Allah?   
      
   The old adage about a conservative being a liberal who's just been mugged   
   was nicely illustrated today when I discovered Jonathan Freedland - a   
   wealthy, smug cosmopolitan liberal who's been churning out page after page   
   of Panglossian Graunybollox (and publishing a rip off of the Da Vinci Code   
   for a huge advance under the name Sam Browne or something like that) is   
   ranting about the impotent Metropolitan Police Service after his cashcard   
   was cloned and he was relieved of half his life savings. Only a few days ago   
   he was in the Grauny twitting 'grumpy old men' and giving it the raj one   
   about everything I hate about modern culture.

   There's no chance of it coming back. But it's fun to epater le large   
   d'esprit with it.
