I thought for a split second Sutcliffe had finally snuffed it too so understand your disappointment but as long as he is in pain and suffering it will do for now, don’t wish anyone harm but happily make an exception for him will be a great day when he dies.

One reason for that is - I guess - the somewhat surreal nature of some of Sutcliffe's most atrocious acts means that some people just marvel at the extremity and inventiveness of it all. It's a bit sick but in All Points North by Simon Armitage (basically a 20 year old book in which he explores what it is to be northern) there's a list of unlikely encounters in the first chapter in which he says the north is where this person meets that person. At one point in that list he pairs David Hockney and Peter Sutcliffe and just lets that thought hang there. He also says the north is where Bernard Ingham meets Prince Naseem Hamed (or if there's any justice he does). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 2, 2019 Sutcliffe - according to lurid tabloid details - is, apparently, considering marrying 27 year old American Krystal Smith and/or fathering a child with her via IVF. The good news from our point of view is it'll keep him in the news along with health updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grobler 35 Posted January 16, 2020 I finished watching a very decent three part documentary last night(still available to view on BBC I Player) . Simply unbelievable footage of police,journalists etc spouting out sexist ,racist anti working class rubbish . It was amazing this guy was ever actually caught ! We learn mid-way through episode two that "The Special One " got involved after numerous police failings and gave them her views (orders). Now , I'm not saying that it was Maggie who solved the case , but it is certainly yet another example of how wonderful and intelligent she was....WAY ahead of her time.

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted January 16, 2020 I don’t think Frank Bruno was too bright even before he started getting punched in the head for a career. Last night I was reading about Sutcliffe’s arrest. It was mainly chance, but I think his luck was about due to run out. I don’t think the police were entirely to blame - if he’d be caught much sooner nowadays (I think he would) it’s because data processing methods have improved out of recognition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man About The Forum 78 Posted February 5, 2020 Wasn't it revealed (whether it was just utter tosh or not, I forget...there was lots of mad stuff about Savile that turned out to be true) that the police briefly suspected Jimmy Savile to be the Yorkshire Ripper? And there are still some conspiracy theorists who believe he was? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
