I'm all for stringing the fucker up.
Oh, but hang on a moment - he's not actually had a trial yet, has he?
Obviously, Sky News in combination with other bog-roll worthy newspapers don't think our judicial system is capable of dealing with this chap fairly and have done us all a favour by negating the need for a trial at all, and presumed him guilty.
I have to say that it's disgusting.
He looks like a weirdo with his comb-over and odd dress sense, but neither of those things make him a murderer. And just because he's been arrested doesn't mean he'll be charged.
So let's all settle down a bit, eh?
As you can see from my caption, the fact that he drives a Volvo worries me almost as much as the epic hairdo. Come to that, if we're looking to hang people for crimes against our perception of what's normal, Ken Dodd and Janet Street-Porter would have been dead years ago.
Still, time will tell if he's been a naughty boy and murdered poor Jo Yeates. In the meantime, Kay Burley can bugger off on the horse she rode in on.
We'd all do well to remember the horrendous Rachel Nickell case and how Colin Stagg's life was ruined by an over-zealous Metropolitan Police and a media baying for the blood of an innocent man. Turns out that professional headcase Robert Napper was responsible for Rachel's murder and a string of rapes and indecent assaults over a period of many years.
If it turns out that Chris Jefferies is responsible for the murder of Jo Yeates he deserves whatever
comes his way. Until then, he deserves to be afforded the same rights that the rest of us are entitled to.
