One expects certain standards - or rather, lack of standards - from the tabloid press, but something better from the BBC. On their news programme this morning, a police spokesperson was being interviewed about the Ipswich murders investigation. She was asked whether it was true that one of the women involved was pregnant. She replied that it was true, but that it had no bearing on the investigation, and was a private matter which they would rather had not been made public. So what did the BBC make their top headline in their next news bulletin? You've guessed it!
Also on the news was a report about a memorial church service held last night at which candles were lit while the names of the five victims were solemnly read out. I'm sorry, but the word which immediately sprang into my mind was hypocrisy - in view of their lifestyle the church would have had little time for them while they were alive.
