Tragic.

To quote Windsor Davies:

Oh dear. How sad. What a shame.

[ummmm]

Amazed he lasted as long as he did.

[youngmafbog]

Can't say I am saddened although prisoners should not be handing out justice should they?

[youngmafbog]

Surely he was on the NONCE wing so how did it happen?

[retrocop]

No honour amongst thieves ymfb, or in this case, nonces !

[agchristie]

Its a noncense!

[ummmm]

Did you giggle when you thought that up?

[ToraToraTora]

couldn't have happenned to a nicer chap.

Mozz, it's "oh dear, how sad, never mind" - from it ain't half hot mum.

[Spicerack]

I agree with YMB. Prisoners shouldn't be doling out their idea of justice.

[webbo3]

What a shame..........not

[MallyJ]

I really don't agree with any form of physical punishment no matter what the crime but somehow, with this young man's death, I found myself with a bit of a smirk on my face........................

taxpayers would have paid over two million pounds to keep him in prison into his seventies ...

[andy-hughes]

There will be the usual raft of appreciation for the demise of this irredeemably horrible human being, but I maintain, as I always do, that summary vigilante 'justice' is no justice at all.

The state tried convicted and imprisoned him, and I would entirely agree that his death is no loss to society, but I do not go as far as rejoicing in his demise, it's simply not the way I view things.

ael - // taxpayers would have paid over two million pounds to keep him in prison into his seventies ... //

A common argument usually re-visited in this type of thread, but my view is that the taxpayer accepts this financial burden as part of the cost - literally in this case - of belonging to a civilised society, where we don't take a human life on the basis of saving money.

[LadyCG]

What a loss to humanity. Poor chap.

[naomi24]

Heart-breaking.

//In 2016, he was given 22 life sentences after admitting 71 charges of sex abuse of children aged between six months and 12 years, between 2006 and 2014.//


He was never likely to fulfil his side of the contract was he?
Presently we have the female equivalent who ran a paedophile ring in a nursery residing in a bail hostel in Brumm!!.
They all walk in the end. Perhaps the Queens Speech might have details of how a parole board should operate in the best interests of the public and in particulae infants.!
