The next town west is Denton, then Gorton, where I live...were all nice there. :)

What i'm wondering is would it have still made the news if they weren't hookers?

If there 5 people who seemed to have been killed in similar, unusual circumstances such that the police suspected a serial killer, then yes.

The time when the "would if had made the news if they weren't such and such" is most obvious not in 'the new ripper's case, but when somebody who went to Oxbridge, or Harrow/Eton, or Law School/Med School, or worked in journalism, is a murderer or is murdered. Then it makes the news for ages.

Moley, you should read The Bonfire Of The Vanities by Tom Wolfe.

DRMO...your post would make good lyric material...

Hmmm, I agree.

Did you see about that Oxford student who murdered a girl who's dad was a teacher at Harrow.

It got so much publicity. And they always referred to her as "the daughter of a master at Harrow school" like anybody gave a ****. I was a bit disappointed that the Daily Star (or even better, the Sport) didn't get hold of it and run a headline like.

POSH BIRD DIES!

KILLED BY BOARDING SCHOOL WEIRDO!

THIS IS WHAT TOO MUCH BUGGERY IN THE LOCKER ROOM AT A YOUNG AGE LEADS TO!

Manchester Evening News:

Posh Bitch In Mercy slaying.

Bloody student suspected.

Inside on pages 2,3,4 & 5. The seedy underworld of the over privileged.

It saves me explaining...it's late.
The book gets a bit heavy going, but well worth the read.
Great social statement.
