Ummm....

I'm conflicted - I occasionally post to mark the passing of someone whose death I consider worthy of note. This is usually because they have lived an admirable/interesting/notorious life.  So what about Ian Brady who died on Monday? The name will not perhaps be that familiar to the younger generation but to anyone over about 60 it will be synonymous with Myra Hindley, Saddleworth Moor and the murder of five young children, the remains of one of whom has never been found.  So definitely not R.I.P. - in fact quite the reverse - but does that mean his death should pass without comment?  In fact of course I've answered my own question by posting this! Still conflicted though.
