Who has more rights thirty years on: Jeremy or Colin?

And why not ? Show the world the kind of feral that has been dragged up by its parent/s. We see too many of these disrespectful thugs clambering to get onto buses/trains. They're like wild animals. I usually make sure I've got my brolly.

Hahaha Lookout I would hate to be infront of you and your brolly OMG the mind boggles

The government decides his punishment not Colin.  The decision made was that he would be jailed for life because the nature of his actions and his behavior afterwards.

I don't see how Bamber's behaviour post-murders has influenced the Parole Board. As for naming and shaming this bestial minority I think they're beyond shame and I really don't know what the answer is. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/pictured-bowker-vale-station-attack-10197925

Steve,I'd never make it as a teacher.

I'm glad I'm 25+ years on. I wouldn't recommend it as a career to anyone today,sad to say.

The refusal of a convict to take responsibility for his actions, express regret and demonstrate he recognized the error of his ways and will not act the same in the future plays a huge role in whether to be released.

You have all my sympathy. Gone are the days when the golosher was used on the backsides of the boys and I used to laugh at the dust coming from their trousers.

Steve, I think they will revel in every bit of notoriety they're afforded.

My mother taught in the 1950s with a leather strap on the teacher's desk which was never used,and rows of benches where pupils would sit dipping their pens into inkwells producing the most beautiful handwriting.

That's when I attended school Steve,in the 50's. You could hear a pin drop in all classes and there were some brilliant teachers. I remember the old " dip and scratch " pen and inkwells,plenty of blotting paper needed. I still have a bottle of Quink in my desk for my fountain pen.
Yes,a cane was in the corner,or the old golosher. These were indeed happy days even though the teachers were strict. The old headmaster wore a moth-eaten cap and gown and drove an old Austin car which was a real bone-shaker and my friend and I got a lift home now and again because his sister lived near us. She was eccentric too and wore huge beads.No wonder she had a hump on her back with the weight of them.

My lifelong friend was a teacher in the 60's 70's and 80's and at the grammar school she'd attended she was in the same class as Sue Johnston the actress.

You know that generation which had gone through the war and then the continuation of rationing and often didn't have half of what people consume today,yet there was a pride in them,a solidarity and incessant optimism which my mother imbued me with. I wonder where it all went wrong..

I remember Brookside,the days when soaps used to be worth watching.

Everyone was more or less equal and we had little or no choice how we lived our lives because we were all in the same boat during and after the war. What people did have was respect and were thankful just to be alive. There was no keeping up with the Jones's and as long as us kids were clean and fed was all that seemed to matter.
The age of consumerism put paid to a lot of the neighbourliness,then came the late 60's and things were going down the pan as quick as looking. Awareness of what others had or wore and so it's gone on.
Me ? I couldn't care less. As long as I've got my health that's all that matters.

Oh dear I've gone and spoiled your thread now.
