Two bodies in the kitchen. A time for closure ?

Mr B!

I don't think so. Nowhere near the extent that you are.

[Caroline]

Yeah OK

I find anybody who is prepared to put in some effort and collate facts, figures and opinions and try to present them in a manner that informs others deserves some credit.

I have not read the lady's book, but I would always anticipate myself disagreeing with some opinion or other, or reaching a different conclusion even whilst given the same evidence. However her efforts are still considerably greater than mine, and most likely greater than the majority here.

She may well 'feel' that JB is guilty. We all 'feel' one way or the other, unless we are truly sat on the fence.

'Feeling' need not be an irrational emotive reaction though. It can be a feeling born out of our interpretation of the evidence we are aware of.

There is always the option of countering her book with an alternative interpretation right?
Is it so wrong of her to commit her thoughts and interpretations to print? Most of us have no qualms about expressing our opinions, why shouldn't she, in whatever form she chooses?

[Jane]

D'you know, Lookout? You can be in denial/lie through your teeth in public for as long as you like, but late at night, when there's no one else to lie to, there's really no point in lying to yourself, how ever loudly you intone the 'la la la' song.

Absolutely none!

[Roch]

Absolutely none!

She has written a book hailed as the 'difinitive' version of events, which has been made in to a TV program. She will make money off both. It's not in any way a difinitive version of events. In order to come to her personal view on the case, she has omitted or belittled police corruption. The program is informing people's opinions in favour of guilt and the viewers are of the opinion that it is almost totally factual. I would say that's doing something wrong. It's cynical and one sided.

Prove there has been some then wrote your own definitive account. As it stands it's pretty much definitive to me.

That's marketing for ya.
You are at liberty to set the record straight with your own tome.

I purchased a definitive Elvis collection CD. It wasn't.
I purchased a definitive U2 biography. It wasn't.
Does one ever purchase a book expressed as definitive and expect it to be so?

I have some magic beans if you're interested...

You wouldn't be saying that if she'd written in the style of Lomax !

A bit of a difference when it touches on a real crime though don't you think ?

Read any history book. They're written by the victors.

No I'm not. If tried to get a program commissioned about police corruption in the case, it would be turned down. Not because of a lack of police corruption in the case, but because that's not what's wanted at the moment. There was nothing to stop the commissioners from insisting upon some balance.

Perfect for the accumulative super powers amidst the 'Twilight Zone' theories!

[Caroline]

It wouldn't bother me. I don't rate Lomax's book but I don't begrudge him for writing it or for making a living.

But you don't have any evidence of such corruption. I'm still waiting for the evidence that Bamber blamed the TFG?
