Ask any counsellor, or anyone that works with the bereaved, and they will tell you that there's no right or wrong way to behave when losing friends/family. 

JB might have appeared not to have cared at times but this does not indicate guilt.

Completely agree with what you say, in particular following a v v close mates recent death, where his close mates and family have all grieved in very different ways.

However, sadly many people will cast aspersions if you are not seen to grieve in the 'correct manner.' This has certainly been the case with JB. 

Who are society to judge or tell people how they should grieve. It is completely different for different people.

That is so true, in my professional life and private life I have seen people react in so many different ways from the expected tears to laughing, Shock produces many different reactions, once people would just have said Jeremy had gone off the rails and no wonder.

A subject i know quite well, the loss of a family member, a close friend will bring grief to the person affected,  how they react and cope and the long term process of recovery, given the events of that night and the large loss of life to that family i would have thought it beyond normality to even measure the grief to the affected including jeremy, .

We all grieve in different ways, i agree. Most of us lose our loved ones to natural causes or accidents. But its a tad different when FIVE members of your family, including two small boys, are BRUTALLY murdered. One beaten horrifically with the butt of a gun.

Can you explain Ann Eaton's reaction to that then? For she didn't show many signs of grief either.

I accept that andrea and i will not run away from your post, in my expieriences it goes betond what you say , those living blame themselves and each other, and its important not to compare events like these however tragic with other cases. It can take people years to actually come to terms what happened , and trying to understand why.

She didnt swan off on holliday either did she? C'mon Grahame, Bambers behaviour after his family were killed did not do him any favours. Like i say we all grieve differently, but most of us lose our loved ones to accident or illness. Its very different when five of them are murdered.

You'll always have the " watchers ".Particularly members of the family who will scrutinise your reactions at the  passing of a relative,close or otherwise. Waiting their chance to point a finger in readiness for the gossip-mongers to have a field day.
" It's all put on,,it's false ",, you'll hear them say,,when describing a family member at a funeral.

What was expected of Jeremy.? Was he supposed to have collapsed in a heap,blubbering.?

Getting over the initial shock of the deaths,,and the way in which they died,was in itself, the most tragic of circumstances,and that alone would leave you numb and void of any other thoughts other than why.

Nobody should have to feel obliged to shed tears just because it's a funeral. Jeremy probably didn't feel like crying at that time,,so why and what had his emotions got to do with anyone,,least of all the case itself.?

I'd say there was something radically wrong with anyone who can " turn the tears on " at will. I'd be far more suspicious of them.! I don't do crocodile tears,,they belong to con-men.

It did not do him any favours  even i will accept that unknown to him at the time, he would have no idea of what was to follow, you will often hear life goes on it does and it has to, why did the relatives offer to go with him for a break somewhere WHF can run without them there just a thought.
Title: Re: Grief

The journo who Bamber tried to flog the pictures gave a statement to the police, and was willing to give evidence in court, he wasnt needed.

He also did not want to live in the house after those murders. Ann Eaton did and even keeps it the same to this day. Remember also that his chief accuser JM also went with him. Quite frankly  if the same thing happened to my family I would want to get as far away as possible from the scene of the crime and would also put my house up for sale. Believe me JB acted in a far more "normal" way withing the pattern of grief than Ann Eaton did. Even her husband thought it strange that she was so eager to move into that house.

Hi lookout  I think the family backgroud Jeremy came from and the private schools he went to do not encourage children to show emotions.  Therefore when Jeremy grew up he was still the same but of course he does not mean he does not feel emotion.  Can you remember William and Harry when they walked behind their Mother's coffin we did not see one hint of tears or emotion but we know how they loved their Mother and probably still miss her.

Believe me Mertol the Sun was not that moral. You just have to see how they treat other important stories to see that. The Sun was one of those papers that believed Bamber was guilty and it so happened that a story about Bamber "allegedly" trying to sell pictures of his naked sister to them waqs more of a scoop than the pictures themselves. Because (1) It presents them in a high moral stand and therefore a very favourable light in the eyes of the public. and (2) I drags up dirt on Bamber who they said was guilty anyway.
Don't forget my friend's encounter with the editor of the Sun in a party where he was "celebrating" with police on the successful conviction of Bamber and said to my friend, "Of course we know the little shit didn't do it". So the Sun  was very biased against Bamber to start with. In the light of that I cannot think as to why Bamber would try and sell them pictures of his sister? Unless of course it was a setup designed to trip up a naive young man? Might be a good move to question the man who persuaded him to do it?

I remember the case well,,and knew/realised from day one that Jeremy would get the blame. It's easy when he's the only one left.!!!
Sheilas' outdoor clothing,which she removed,,would have stemmed the flow of blood. It was eventually found soaking in a couple of buckets.  But surprise surprise,was never investigated.

These were outdoor clothes which Sheila had changed to her night clothes. It matters not what clothes you wear if you're out to kill someone. I'm sure that clothes wouldn't have been an issue,except for something to mop up excessive blood.

Hi lookout can you remember the story Patti posted up a sad story about her Aunt that committed suicide.  She did all the normal daily chores changed into her Sunday best and took her own life.  A very sad story which I think was great of Patti to share it with us.

Title: Re: Grief

so after the joggers had been put into the bucket downstairs, she still had to get upstairs without getting blood down her front.

Well by the time Sheila got to where she lay,with her hand held onto her neck ( there was blood on her right hand,which when released,would have gone all over one of the rugs that was burned by the police ),,there was then further blood to where she finally lay.
And don't think for one minute that Jeremy " told " the police to burn the rugs/carpets,because he didn't.!
Title: Re: Grief
Post by: andrea on August 09, 2012, 11:21:AM
I disagree, had she been holding her wound before the 2nd shot the blood would have been on the front of her nightie, after releasing her hand. No blood was found on her hands either.

Andrea an event of such magnitude is hard to imagine for most of us. The brain can behave in many ways due to shock and trauma and is capable of just closing down on such dreadful trauma because its too much to deal with. If you have ever experienced s trauma you will remember how you only noticed and dealt with the trivial and nothing else registered. This can last for various lengths of time depending on the nature of the trauma and the person involved.  Jereny could have been in a state of denial for a long time. No one has the riggt to judge how anyone else copes with such overwhelming grief. So if he was innocent such behaviour should not be judged. Surely if he was guilty he would have played the expected acceptable role. Its one of the reasons that reinforce ny belief in his innocence. imo

Bamber was too quick to deal with the financial issues too, getting some items valued ready to be flogged off. trying to sell sheilas pictures. It goes on and on....

In my opinion it is quite an ugly building.

Subjective I suppose, personally I think it's quite a fine building, despite its history.

the extensions yes an eyesore , quite sure the cottages are ok, the house in its early years of completion may well have looked fine .

Again I think the beauty may well be in the eye of the beholder, yes the building is listed, the parts which you refer to as extensions is actually the original 18th Century farmhouse, the formal front is the extension.

The building was actually only listed in February 1987, the National Heritage listing reads as follows:

TOLLESHUNT D'ARCY PAGES LANE TL 91 SW(west side) 3/78White House Farmhouse GVII

TOLLESHUNT D'ARCY PAGES LANE TL 91 SW (west side) 3/78 White House Farmhouse GV II House. Late C18 and early C19. Red and gault brick in Flemish bond, roofed with slate. C18 range of red brick aligned N-S with 2 axial stacks. Early C19 crosswing of gault brick at S end, forming entrance front, with internal stacks at each side. C19 single-storey extension at N end. 2 storeys. Ground floor, 2 early C19 sashes of 16 lights, first floor, 2 similar sashes and one of 12 lights, all with flat brick arches. Central C20 half-glazed door in simple flat-roofed porch with 2 columns and 3 stone steps. Low-pitched hipped roof. Reported to have date 1820 inscribed on beam in roof. White House is shown on Chapman and Andre's map of 1777, then on another site approx. 400 metres to the west. Both were built by a charity established in 1626 by Henry Smith, salter and alderman of London, to which the farm still belongs at the time of survey, May 1985 (P. Morant, The History and Antiquities of Essex, 1768, I, 399).

However, Andi is almost certainly the most qualified to give her opinion regarding how she may or may not act in any given situation, is she not?

Of course that is on the assumption IMO stands for "In my opinion" and not "Impossibly massive ostriches".  :-\

Hartley, I'm saying that NONE of us know how we would react in such a situation.  We all assume we would have control over the way we would behave but in reality we don't, if we did post traumatic shock would not cause people to react in all sorts of ways which are totally out of character.

I think that is one of the characteristics of suicide victims Andrea? My father inlaw was in the Thames River police and he would often remark that those he pulled out of the river after their suicide would often be imaculately dressed and clean.

I disagree, had she been holding her wound before the 2nd shot the blood would have been on the front of her nightie, after releasing her hand. No blood was found on her hands either.
I think on her palms there was. Also she could have wiped her hand on her night dress thus leaving the bloodstain there?

Nope, or at least not according to Vanezis, he also said the blood on her night dress which is incorrectly being described as a hand print, was transferred from Sheilas wrist.

How do you know he had never suffered from grief.  He and his girlfriend had experienced miscarriages.  Your'e just making assumptions and quoting someone elses opinion.
I don't think we will get anywhere by critisising Jeremy's actions over the days following the murders and during the funeral. Grief is such a tricky subject to handle and people go through a whole range of feelings, from sorrow to hate. From insanity to indifference. My friend was the manager of the Co-Op funeral service in Broomfield Road in Chelmsford and she was an expert in counselling people through grief. She said there are many contradictory feelings that take over a person's personality. It is impossible to guage what they might do?

So in my humble opinion in "not" being an expert in these matters, I feel that it is very unfair of us to judge someone who has just lost a whole family in such tragic and horific circumstances. And the police questioned Jeremy at his most vulnerable time. On the one hand they were saying that he was not behaving like a grieving person and on the other hand they were questioning him as to why he wasn't answering their questions in an erudite fashion?

Hartley, I'm saying that NONE of us know how we would react in such a situation.  We all assume we would have control over the way we would behave but in reality we don't, if we did post traumatic shock would not cause people to react in all sorts of ways which are totally out of character.

I agree, but people can give their opinion (particularly if it is labelled as such), just as you have yourself on other subjects.

That was his opinion. But it certainly looks like a hand print to me from the pictures. I disagree with him for the simple reason that the blood had obviously been staunched by a hand as there are fingermarks on her neck.

I don't think that his description "the palms and fingers were not contaminated with blood", could be referred to simply as an opinion, unless there is photographic evidence indicating otherwise, then I think it would be quite difficult to argue against the description given by Vanezis.

That's an interesting point regarding finger marks to Sheilas throat though, particularly given Vanezis's assertion that Sheilas fingers were not blood stained and that Dr Craig said he certified death without touching her body and no police officer claims to have touched her neck prior to it being photographed.

So if they are indeed finger marks to Sheilas throat, who do they belong to?

Subjective I suppose, personally I think it's quite a fine building, despite its history.

Again I think the beauty may well be in the eye of the beholder, yes the building is listed, the parts which you refer to as extensions is actually the original 18th Century farmhouse, the formal front is the extension.
i could not really care less what part is the 1st part , it should have been flattened.
The building was actually only listed in February 1987, the National Heritage listing reads as follows:

TOLLESHUNT D'ARCY PAGES LANE TL 91 SW(west side) 3/78White House Farmhouse GVII

TOLLESHUNT D'ARCY PAGES LANE TL 91 SW (west side) 3/78 White House Farmhouse GV II House. Late C18 and early C19. Red and gault brick in Flemish bond, roofed with slate. C18 range of red brick aligned N-S with 2 axial stacks. Early C19 crosswing of gault brick at S end, forming entrance front, with internal stacks at each side. C19 single-storey extension at N end. 2 storeys. Ground floor, 2 early C19 sashes of 16 lights, first floor, 2 similar sashes and one of 12 lights, all with flat brick arches. Central C20 half-glazed door in simple flat-roofed porch with 2 columns and 3 stone steps. Low-pitched hipped roof. Reported to have date 1820 inscribed on beam in roof. White House is shown on Chapman and Andre's map of 1777, then on another site approx. 400 metres to the west. Both were built by a charity established in 1626 by Henry Smith, salter and alderman of London, to which the farm still belongs at the time of survey, May 1985 (P. Morant, The History and Antiquities of Essex, 1768, I, 399).

That's a good question. But I rather feel that we look at these "experts" as if they are infallible at times? Whatever side we may belong to.

Yes I agree, and they are being challenged, the CCRC doesn't, or rather shouldn't simply dismiss things without reason, they should provide an explanation as to why something was dismissed, we just don't get to see the explanations that they give unless the defence choose to publish them.

You'll always have the " watchers ".Particularly members of the family who will scrutinise your reactions at the  passing of a relative,close or otherwise. Waiting their chance to point a finger in readiness for the gossip-mongers to have a field day.
" It's all put on,,it's false ",, you'll hear them say,,when describing a family member at a funeral.

What was expected of Jeremy.? Was he supposed to have collapsed in a heap,blubbering.?

Getting over the initial shock of the deaths,,and the way in which they died,was in itself, the most tragic of circumstances,and that alone would leave you numb and void of any other thoughts other than why.

Nobody should have to feel obliged to shed tears just because it's a funeral. Jeremy probably didn't feel like crying at that time,,so why and what had his emotions got to do with anyone,,least of all the case itself.?

I'd say there was something radically wrong with anyone who can " turn the tears on " at will. I'd be far more suspicious of them.! I don't do crocodile tears,,they belong to con-men.

Hi Lookout. Jeremy could not do right from wrong could he. If he had wept he was acting, if he had been sombre, he would have being acting and if he had just stood there he would have been acting....

I have a gold post box near me! and the girl who won the boxing lives in the part of Leeds i was born in  :D

I once worked temporarily at the secondary school Jessica Ennis attended, albeit she had already left!

There was a queue of about 20 people in town today queuing to get their photo taken next to her golden postbox!

Mertol, I'm sure you have friends. If you heard people in a pub talking about your friends in a bad way, would you not correct them?
That is what I try to do on this forum. There are things I don't know, of course, but when I read what I consider to be untruths, I will defend them.
And whether you believe bamber guilty or not, there is an awful lot of untruths spoken on this forum.
As with the jam i offer you my apology if i said things i should not have,what i can say is i can only assume yourself and other members seem to have faith in our society and its legal system,i can even for the moment forget jeremy bamber and think how many people are in jail who should not be, no system is perfect and ours is among that, until every last remaining document is released about the WHF case my disdain for this nation will carry on, we have had 2 world wars to take freedom there can be a 3rd but unlikely a 4th, jeremy bamber is also a victim of a unfree society thats why he getting nowhere.

I agree with you there Mertol. A recent case has made me even more thoroughly disgusted with our justice system. It involved a very well-respected surgeon who was a neighbour of my brother,,,,who tried to chase off 3 youths from messing about outside his property and car which was parked.
The man would have got the usual volley of abuse,so the surgeon lifted his hand as a threat.One of the youths punched the man in the face and he fell,cracking his skull on the pavement,,and sustained such injuries that he died.
The CPS dropped the case.! Because the youth said he punched him in self-defence.!
The doctor was semi-retired and was said to have been a pillar of the community. I'm disgusted.

They seem to get the most naive and gormless people devoid of even one iota of common sense to run the CPS. No wonder the country is in the state it is. To take the word of a thug over the manslaughter of a retired citizen is one of the most disgusting things I have read about. Can you see why I take the piss out of the law so much. I am driven by the utter contempt of these brainless idiots. The all seem to live in cloud cuckoo land. I'm a rebel and always will be. How the people of this land confuse the word law with justice is always a wonder to me?

Employing a brain dead zombie is quite easy look at G4s instant answer, jeremy was chosen as a candidate to recieve this inept useless reason of justice, so i can understand more clearly why he has not given up, they must have thought he would years ago, i bet it bothers them and i hope it does there is not the prison space to jail his supporters for justice , floating prisons may be needed.

Hi ngb1066

Forgive me for bringing my grievance  with regard to Mat onto the open forum but my integrity and honesty are being brought into question and many of the forum members I like and respect may start to have little doubts as to I am.Briefly what happened last night was Margot posted a post which was disgusting and crude implicating her myself and Mat.  I sent Mat a pm telling him I was going to report the incident when a Mod was on the forum as I felt partially responsible for Mat being dragged into it as I had befriended Margot at the beginning but did raise my concerns about her to your goodself and Roch.The reply I got from Mat was words to the effect "no worries Jackie" I was in shock and thought he was joking. After pm's backwards and forwards he explained that a Mod he was very close to told him I was Jackie Preece but not to worry as my secret was safe with him as he did not want me banned but anyway the other two Mods know you are Jackie anyway.  It is my opinion that any man who is willing to disclose information from a female in a private message is an out and out cad with no integrity or moral values at all it is just not done.  As far as I am concerned Mat is just a nonentity and I want nothing from him but I do want my friends on the forum to know I am not a fake.  It is of no consequence to me what he or the other forum think I am as they play no part in my life.

The only steps I can take to dispel these ridiculous rumours is to give you ngb my email address or failing that my home address as I do trust you implicitly and that will confirm to you that I am not Jackie Preece.

Failing that I would have to delete my account as I am not comfortable with members wondering who they are posting to.

I do apologise for bringing this onto the open form as I have no need for a pm as I have nothing at all to hide and if only people knew.

Thank you for taking time to read this post.

Regards
Susan Ingham

Maybe a PM would have been better?

To be fair, this isn't a new issue and you've played at least a small part in it yourself. Having had very little or no interaction with you on the forum, about three months ago you out of the blue, started sending me PM's asking if I thought you were Jackie, you may recall that I replied that I neither knew or cared, that reply remains current today.

Whatever Mats misdemeanours are, I think it's difficult for a complaint about people accusing you of being somebody else, to be taken too seriously when you bear in mind that you have in the past posted things such as:

Jackie  have you noticed everytime you post up pops Susan with a reply agreeing with you within 30seconds how strange is that and other people have noticed this not just silly me.

I'm not sure you can play along one minute and then complain about it the next, well that's not true, clearly that's exactly what you are doing.

If you find all of this ridiculously petty and tiresome, then I don't think you are alone.  ::)

I don't think the purpose of Susan's post is to complain, rather to dispell the rumours that she's Jackie, which as far as I'm concerned she isn't. This shouldn' be necessary.

Bridget  Thank you so much for that I am not complaining I just want it to stop about me being Jackie Preece.  In the beginning I tried to treat it as a joke but some of us are not as thick skinned as others.  I really just want my associates on the forum to know I am not a fake.  I appreciate your understanding Bridget of the situation.

Mr Jam, may I respectfully point out that I believe the majority of my posts have followed something another person has posted because I feel it important to give support to those with whom I agree and the last time I looked, there was no "I" in team. There are those here with whom I am naturally more inclined to agree, to the point that I've thought "Damn, I was just about to say that" and that is exactly what I've said in my post.

In all walks of life there are those to be found who have little or nothing to contribute but make their presence felt by insulting, provocative and disruptive behaviour within which ever group they join. How much tolerance would be shown to these types were they members of other groups or societies.

I would like to finish by saying that I think for 99% of the time the Mods do an excellent job under often difficult circumstances and if you're wondering about the other 1%, when I can present myself as perfect, I'll expect it of others.

Hello april  Yes I agree the Mods do an excellent job in very difficult circumstances.  In  life some people are not able to cope with abuse as well as others so what they do they become frivolous putting on an act so as to appear they are not  affected by it but they are. Then in the end you have heard the saying "even a worm will turn" enough is enough as it can become a form of mental bullying. Hope you are enjoying the sun as am I.

On the face of it, that sounds ridiculous.  However, without hearing the other side of the story it is impossible to judge.  The newspapers, particularly the tabloids, frequently tend to print stories such as this, where there is often little or no balance.  That's why I gave up reading them.  For instance, what constitutes messing about?  In most instances I would suggest that the person doing the 'chasing' is the aggressor.  In the case you mention here, if the surgeon didn't want to be subjected to the 'usual volley of abuse', why chase after them?

The youth was originally charged with manslaughter on the basis that there was a reasonable suspicion he had committed the offence and there were grounds for believing that the continuing investigation would provide further evidence to support the prosecution.
Since then new evidence has been presented including the final pathologist's report which indicates that the injuries to the victim were consistent with the victim suffering one blow to the face.

All the surgeon did was to hold up his hand to the yob.He didn't even touch him.!
It doesn't alter the fact that the youth punched the surgeon in the face though,to cause him to fall backwards on to the ground.

I've forwarded the PM's to NGB where Keira confirms for me that she knew you were Jackie. I will post them here too if I am allowed without getting banned.

Other than that, you can do what you like. I don't care. But I don't know if there was need to bring it up in this topic when I had never posted in here?

The media and tabloids are makings noises about a possible repetition of last years riots which were apparently triggered by mistakes on the part of the constabulary. I believe that powers that be will avoid this at all costs. It comes down to the death(s) of individual(s) weighed against the cost of a repeat of what happened last year.

Clearly you are basing this on your clearly honed legal expertise of how criminal law and sentencing work.

Obviously you are aware that hundreds and hundreds of decisions are made every day in courts up and down the land, not just the few high profile ones featured on the news.

Of course you wouldn't be adopting a lay mans viewpoint of somebody without the slighest inkling how the legal system works.

If that is your honest viewpoint then my respect for you has significantly diminished.

When you read of a 'barmy judge' in the newspaper, along with the headline you get a very slanted report with no balance at all.  Therefor, in most of these cases, unless you make the effort to read up on the WHOLE case and take on board both the defence and prosecution arguments, surely you are not fit to judge.

I personally hold our judges in the highest regard, as I do our surgeons.

My assessment is based entirely upon what I see and the judgments they make and as I said upon the words of other legal people. Just because someone studies for years to obtain the best posititions in life does not automatically make them wise.
Obviously I don't include ALL judges. But from what I have observed I have a very low opinion of the profession. My opinion is not as rediculous as it may first seem.

When you read of a 'barmy judge' in the newspaper, along with the headline you get a very slanted report with no balance at all.  Therefor, in most of these cases, unless you make the effort to read up on the WHOLE case and take on board both the defence and prosecution arguments, surely you are not fit to judge.

I personally hold our judges in the highest regard, as I do our surgeons.
I'm afraid you cannot compare the two. If one is in a position to enjoy high regard from the public then they are also in the position of great responsibility. I have yet to see true British justice executed in our courtrooms.
On the case of insults I am sure that certain people on this forum don't really know what real insults are until they have been insulted on many occasions as I have been?

My assessment is based entirely upon what I see and the judgments they make and as I said upon the words of other legal people. Just because someone studies for years to obtain the best posititions in life does not automatically make them wise.
Obviously I don't include ALL judges. But from what I have observed I have a very low opinion of the profession. My opinion is not as rediculous as it may first seem.

It is a very very bold and in my opinion foolish statement to make when what you have seen and observed will account for less than 0.01% of judges and cases which have been decided.

What do you mean by 'the profession'?   Are u talking judges? barristers? solicitors? paralegals?

One day i may do also, however they need to give something in return, they can start by getting rid of those stupid wigs, all they want in a court in front of them is a bowl of quaker oats with milk and they might look the part, robot explorers are checking out the martian surface for life and here on earth judges in Britain are wearing wigs , i should have been a comedian.

My statement is clear and you know what I have been speaking about. Sometimes those in the legal profession are not in the best place to make a fair judgment on the matter. Which I think you will find it is so in many things in life.

I think you will find that I am quite correct in my assessment of things? The only problem that you have is that you do not agree with me. The problem I am afraid is yours in that you have taken offense where no offense should have been taken. It is just two different opinions where both of us are entitled to have. As of course we are both looking at things from different perspectives. There is abasolutely no reason for you to make insulting posts against me, as My original post was in no may directed at you, or in any way calculated to offend you. I'm sorry if I have Petey.

I suppose Grahame like most things in life, there are good and bad judges.  I would imagine now that it is not monopolised by the upper classes there are no doubt more aware and imaginative judges. They are not just sitting on high judging the hoi palloi.
Should imagine also that they have to work within guidelines that they may find prohibitive....there is however, the ones with personality disorders who are socio/psycho and have climbed that steep ladder, stamping on everyone on the way to attain their position of power.  There must be a percentage as there is in all positions of power.

agreed!! theres good & bad!!

a judge takes years of training and most have started out as a sociltor etc!!  :D

most judges are fine! if the defendant has a good friendly attitude they do ok!

I say there are some judges that took everything to be there!! even some judges have came from a poor background and are the most respectful!

of course if you have lots of money the defendant can getway with fines instead jail about £5000+ with court fines is common for 6month max offences!

Like someone with no criminal history is in prosesson of a shotgun without a SGC gets a £750 fine in the magistrates court!! good judgement

when someone with a sawn-off shotgun  and fires one barrel in someones front door then fires the second barrel in their back door! get a 3 year impersonment! yeah he should at least got 6 years!

'Morning Maggie. WOW!! How interesting is that and what food for thought!! Most of us are aware that there are more p/s 'paths in prominent positions than there are in prison cells. We also know that they work from a different moral compass to the rest of society. Surely this must have some effect on the way they view the crime committed and the subsequent sentence they hand down.

I respect that. It's your opinion. But I have a different one. Fuelled by what I saw with Jackie's post, by what Keira told me (which I've sent to NGB for proof) and more recently by Jackie's tongue in cheek posts on the red forum.

I've seen you post about the IPs elsewhere - you said that according to Keira Susan's IP changes all of the time. That is entirely consistant with what Susan has always said - that she has a dial up connection. Her IP address will change every time she logs on to the internet.

Yes.


I spent hours pming Grahame to stop him getting you banned last night.

But when I arrived at my office , there was a pm campaign to have you banned in full swing.

The only way I could stop that campaign in its tracks was to apply a temporary ban.

I did it to save you from being banned.

It was just a short ban to allow members to cool down and to give me a chance to put a stop to this campaign. It had to be stopped before it gathered any more momentum.

That worked, because you're still here, aren't you?

But if you're determined to ignore me, go ahead.

Keira

No, you've just been proved a liar again, Grahame. Keira making a mug of me? Oh Grahame, please! As you can tell by her last lines in that message I was ignoring her. I'd been ignoring her for days. If she was trying to get me on side she wouldn't have openly given me information she shouldn't have - silly risk to take when I already told her when I joined I wasn't ever going to discuss the case with her via pm.

Yes strange isn't it. He still doesn't get it. Because of his high boasts about his "important" job Keira thought she'd try and get close to him. Unfortunately only I knew what she was doing and she ommitted to tell Jackie, because she thought that she would let out the secret on open forum and that set the seed for Jackie leaving. But believe me it was all an undercover info gathering exercise on the part of Keira.

Well you can say the same to Grahame, surely? He never dares says names when he is trying to do silent attacks but you know they are there.

I've already had a spat with Grahame the other day.  Controversy surrounds your posting when you deviate from topics relevant to threads.  That's all I'm saying.  The controversy is tiresome.

Yes strange isn't it. He still doesn't get it. Because of his high boasts about his "important" job Keira thought she'd try and get close to him. Unfortunately only I knew what she was doing and she ommitted to tell Jackie, because she thought that she would let out the secret on open forum and that set the seed for Jackie leaving. But believe me it was all an undercover info gathering exercise on the part of Keira.

She lowered herself into sending naughty messages (which I didn't reply to) just to get close to me? Even though I knew there was a BIG age gap - so wasn't interested in it? Oh please Grahame.

She shamed herself, and then quite that account.

Hi Mat

I think you're being rather ungentlemanly.  Assuming Nuala sent you some 'flirty' messages why do you feel the need to tell all?  I feel sure Rochford would never betray me in such a fashion  :-X

You once posted that you were concerned about the sort of females that your son might encounter and you might do well to reflect on your own behaviour.

I know some posters have been a bit anti Mat.  I didn't go along with this and at times have stood up for you but I really feel the above is below the belt and if anyone should feel ashamed it is you.
I would bet that Mat could have posted much worse!

He was quite obviously backed into a corner and labelled a liar.

By the way, why would it matter IF Susan were Jackie?  Whilst on the subject, did Caroline R used to post as Chokchockeira?  Finally, for the record and in response to some of Margot's earlier posts, I am Neil and am not and have never been John!

You surprise me Neil, I thought you were Susan's friend, she was very upset by being accused of being someone other than herself, therefore some people supported and defended her when she wasn't online to defend herself.  Mat built his own corner, as usual, serve him right if he got stuck in it.

Went out for the daily run a short while ago and bumped into an acquaintance from up the road.  We stopped to talk and she started telling me about her daughter's labrador that died unexpectedly, only 2 yoa, and that she had cried.  Apparently the vet thinks the dog died from rat or mushroom poisoning picked up whilst in local fields.

She then said that she finds it easy to cry when animals die but rarely does when humans die and that her mother had said it would do her good to cry over losing her husband who died about 2/3 years ago!!!

Hi Mags  I can to an extent understand what egap is saying whenever I have lost a pet (who were like my children) I broke my heart for weeks.  I think it is they look at you in such a way as to say can you please help me.  With my parents I knew it was coming for months and they did not have to look at me like that because our Doctor helped them.  I shed tears but it was such a different kind of loss and I will never forget the feeling and even years on I can get very sad :(

Hi Maggie

But is it?  As I understand it people grieve in different ways.  I'm sure she did mourn the loss of her husband but just not with lots of  :'(. 

Isn't this partly the reason JB was convicted ie his behaviour didn't fit with what others thought it shld be for someone who had just lost 5 members of his adoptive family?
Well yes and I have argued strongly that people react to shock in different ways but a death of a husband may cause a shock reaction for a certain length of time but you would think to never have shed a tear over it in all that time is odd.  The massive trauma that Jermy Bamber had to deal with was a slightly different kettle of fish but he did shed tears.  I have seen partners of people who have died behave very strangely but it was shock, it is unlikely it lasted for 3 years!

Hello Maggie, I very much like Susan, she comes across as being a very kind and honest lady.   I would say exactly the same about Jackie.  I wasn't subscribing to the view that Jackie and Susan are the same person, merely making the point that it doesn't really matter if they are. 

I take your point though, my post didn't come across as very sympathetic and Susan does have my full sympathy, this nonsense has carried on for long enough.

Hi, Egap. My first guess would be that the tears she sheds for animals are those she cannot shed for her late husband OR perhaps her husband had been ill for some time and all her tears had been spent then OR maybe she disliked him so much, for whatever reason, that she doesn't think he's worth her tears. As you say, grieving takes different forms for different people.

I suppose whatever he had done it would have been wrong Mertol. Bet he didn't want to go to any of them, imagine the uproar if he hadn't.  My mum didn't go to my Dad's funeral because she was in her 80s and she couldn't bare the thought of it...she looked after the grandchildren instead...none of the family found this odd.

Susan, I felt sad when my father died, but it was a soaring relief when my mother died. The only guilt I felt was because there was no guilt I could feel. It was as if I'd been released from the crime of not being the daughter she wanted me to be. I felt totally lost when my beloved partner died, but there was absolutely NO feelings of guilt. I had fulfilled everything he had asked of me. Time doesn't so much heal, as put things in a place where they can be more easily handled.

Mat. I have just seen what you have said on the other forum. Susan is NOT Jackie. She has proven that to me this afternoon beyond all doubt, not that she should have had to do so. I don't know what you think you saw re the posts, but you were mistaken, as was Keira. You have been given the benefit of the doubt here over the 'hacking Maggie' thing, and also the PM you sent to Jackie (and on that subject I will say right now that I don't believe Jackie edited that PM), so even if you don't believe me re Susan I'm asking you to give her the benefit of the doubt and back off, both here and over there.

Hi Susan,,,I was just full of anger when my husband died. I'd done my grieving during the 5/6 years that he was ill. My anger was made worse when I rang an out of hours locum at night to come and verify his death,as I had him at home as he'd requested. The GP on the other end of the phone asked " what do you mean,he's dead ? ". I then bit my tongue and asked him to come along and see for himself.
I couldn't believe that the doctor couldn't understand what I was telling him. He was about 26.! Must have drawn the short straw that night.  He was dressed for the occasion in a long black overcoat that was nearly down to his ankles.

Hi everyone, just got back from holidays so apologies if this has been posted before..I did a psychology course a few years back and as in most theories on the subject there are certain 'facts' and 'myths', but the first common stage of grief is 'denial' which can last from hours to weeks and months. Right after a loss, it can be hard to accept what happened. You may feel numb, have trouble believing that the loss really happened, or even deny the truth. If someone you love has died, you may keep expecting them to show up, even though you know they’re gone. Jeremy had the press on his back and was under the scrutiny of his vulture relatives....I would have gone away for a while too and people calling it a 'holiday' imo are being flippant...
Most people coping with grief can turn to to family members – Now is the time to lean on the people who care about you, even if you take pride in being strong and self-sufficient. You draw loved ones close, rather than avoiding them, and accept the assistance that’s offered. Jeremy did Not have this option imo............................

excellent post Tracy. I agree with everything you have said there. I lot my parents 7 years ago and found grieving very hard with what was going on. Only now am I at CRUISE which will last about a year.

Hi TracyJBH

Hope you had a good hol.

It appears that the Kubler-Ross model of grieving is widely accepted and used.  It uses five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model
Interestingly the above is used in adoption as well - under grief section:
http://fairfamilies.org/newsfromfair/1999/99LifelongIssues.htm
Perhaps when JB lost his adoptive family it sparked off unresolved issues about the loss of his birth family which he may not even have been aware of.
Hi egapyou dont hear this often from me but I do thoroughly agree with you that the horrendous and brutal loss of his adootive family...which was the only family he could remember, dysfunctional or not must have sparked off deep old emotionao pain concernng feelings of abandonment and grief from his first traumatic loss of his birth mother.

These feelings of grief didn't last very long did they? Only a few hours after being told of the slaughter of his whole family he is canoodling up to Julie Mugford and whispering "I should have been an actor",there were the crude sexual jokes on the way to the crematorium at the funerals,the bragging to Colin that he his witness statement was longer than Colin's,which reminds me of that grammar school environment when pupils used to brag in front of fellow-pupils how much they had written in a test essay,an environment which Jeremy academically felt like a flop.

I know that people grieve in different ways;I accept this without having read all the links of the experts who no doubt could tell us all the stages that grief involves. But again I have to put it to the Jeremy supporters:there is so much evidence out there,call it circumstantial if you like but it comes from diverse quarters,that Jeremy is behind this crime. I know it's not what you want to hear.

Someone with JB's background ie adopted and boarding school might think displaying any emotion/vulnerabilites is a sign of weakness.

Had JB carried out the murders I feel he would have been very mindful of his behaviour and how it might have been interpreted.  As he was innocent he did whatever came naturally which at times might have appeared crass.


Yes,egap,,Jeremys' behaviour was no different if that's what people were tittle-tattling about.  He'd have shown great strain and would have been affected in some way,behaviourally.
Probably a lot had to do with the fact that he knew he hadn't done it,and sensed relief in that respect,albeit for 12 months.

Susan, hi. Those drivers are LETHAL!!! When they feel the force of the hairdryer powered engine, backed up by bunny batteries, the power goes to their head!!! In the village I've just moved from they drive in the middle of the road, If they're on the pavement they bash into the back of peoples heels. There's only one thing worse. At the moment the world and his wife (and children!!!) are all wiggins wanabees and they're all cycling on roads near me!!!

close to where I live is a level crossing. A motorized pensioner attempted to jump the lights and the oncoming train passed so near to him that his hairdryer on wheels tipped over. Somebody must have seen it and called the police, who breathalized him. He was over the limit!!! Talk about boy racers!!!
