Disgusted of Epsom

Disgusted, or at least rather irritated, to find over breakfast this morning that yesterday's Guardian saw fit to give half a page's free fame to a 90 year old career criminal said to have made pin money in his younger days by slashing people to order, with payment by the stitch. In my younger days such people did not get given air time in obituaries or anywhere else. One might have thought that the Guardian would know better, but I suppose that they are as short of news as everyone else who has to look for news on a tight budget - and at least they did not give him the front page like today's Sun.
