The point was Jeremy had felt marginalized for years. He endeavoured to emulate Nevill even as a small boy, choosing the same foods at the breakfast table, yet couldn't escape the alienation that pervaded the Farm. The next phase in his life was Gresham's School, where he was destined to mediocrity, faced with the gifted children of the ruling classes and landed gentry of the environs. He came to lay the blame of failure on Nevill. Every holiday the estrangement from his parents got worse as he longed for the action in the bright lights of London, yet was stuck in the backwater of the Farm.

Next came the Colchester College years, where Jeremy gained an element of popularity by providing lifts to fellow students, yet in his soul he despised the old car he had been given and coveted the best. He tried to free himself from his shackles by gaining employment in a Little Chef restaurant off the A11, then the Sloppy Joe's pizza parlour in Colchester, where he was to meet Julie. But the damage had been done.

Shackles? He was a grown man who could do other things if he wanted, and it sounds as if he did try. He wasn't stuck anywhere.

He was stuck in the long-hours culture of the 1980s, engaged in a job which he didn't choose and had little aptitude. He was labelled with a nickname because of the smell which emitted from his person. He had to remain in the farming industry to inherit, a stipulation of Nevill's will.

Not quite. If he didn't remain in farming, he would get half of Nevill's residuary estate.

I think Julie used to call him "Stinko". I know that was the nickname but unsure from whom it came.

But he wanted the whole hog, not the crumbs..

well said steve,thats exactly what it was about GREED

[Kaldin]

I'm sure he did, but that doesn't mean he was prepared to kill his entire family to get it, including two very young children. He could have got out of there, made a life for himself, moved to London or somewhere else, got a job - whatever. That's usually what people do when they don't like the life they have.

He did all of the highlighted post-murders.

Yes, and he could have done it before that. I don't buy into this idea that he was trapped. Maybe he felt that way, but he was perfectly free to do what he wanted.

He didn't want to risk losing influence with June, who might have retaliated by leaving all her money to the Church. There were Sheila's medical bills and the possibility of a private education for the boys as they approached the age that he himself had been packed off to boarding school.

Sometimes I think that having well-off parents is a disadvantage in life. If there's no money in the family, people have to work things out for themselves, and that makes them free.

Some people have a sense of entitlement.

[Kaldin]

Some people are encouraged to have a sense of entitlement, and I think that's what happened here.

I don't think the Bambers did anything to instil that.
