Something very odd is going on... normally staid cricket becomes news over a scuffed ball when behaviour moves off the pitch; football becomes news when a Man City player behaves wuth stunning viciousness... is this a reflection of life?
And whilst I'm about it, would the media be so distressed by the awful killing of the guy in Canning Town if he wasn't white, cute, blue eyed and sweet looking? An appalling tragedy - but how many ugly or unsympathetic victims get ignored because they don't look right?
Media; society; police; the law... I'm really disappointed by the human species this century.
Am I being unfair?
It's like Satan sprinkled devil dust over the world as the new millennium dawned.

Victims have long required three qualities for media attention... They must be photogenic, from stable backgrounds and they must be "innocent".

Protitutes, the non-beautiful and ex-Barnardo's need not apply.
