This is intended to be a sleight on the hypocrisy of the British tabloid press and in no was belittles any recent events in the UK.

...why is it when some child is found murdered they are always, and without fail, described as popular, outgoing, very hard working, almost saintly figures. They never seem to murder the little sods, do they? How do these murderers know?

that the neighbours of most serial killers describe the killer as quiet, shy but friendly and express their shock and amazement that this person could have killed anyone...

the only murderer I've ever known was a complete and utter prick. I wasn't entirely surprised when the truth about how depraved he was came out.

...the very people who saw the suspicious-looking bin bags anfd heard the screams.
Did you know that it is not illegal to walk past someone having a crime inflicted on them and simply ignore the situation?

just that when the kids aren't of nice, white, middle class parents, the papers don't think anyone will give a toss.

the avg reading age of the sun is about 8 years old. Rarely anything above two syllables that's not made clear by context or direct re-description.

I think page 3 and the whole tabloid "phwoooar" thing is pretty low-brow. I agree that they use shock tactics, and always find easy scape goats to sell papers and incite anger in the stupid, but I don't see how putting that in a newspaper makes you a hypocrit for condemning child murder. Have I missed something?

The Mirror (not the Sun) once published a tirade on paedophiles and at the same time on the opposite page had a picture of the then 15 Charlotte Churh and comments about how big her chest was. I find this hypocritical. This is but one instance.
Though I am going to stop responding to these as you seem to find fault with every fucking thing I post for some reason.

no, it was a genuine question. I agree that the mirror point you just made was hypocracy. I have no personal grudge against you.
AND, i have just noticed you said underage pop starlet. I have now noticed the hypocracy, and my question is answered.
