Compassion for Ian Brady?

I think it is an insult!!

The 71-year-old child killer is currently held in Ashworth High Security Hospital, Merseyside.
But after being force-fed following a series of hunger strikes, he has appealed for a switch so he can die in Scotland, the country of his birth.
Brady's lawyer Giovanni di Stefano said his client had been encouraged by the return of
Abdelbaset al Megrahi to Libya last month.
He told the Daily Record newspaper: "There is no reason Brady should not return to his own country just like Mr al Megrahi did.
"The attitude regarding mental health in Scotland is perhaps somewhat diverse to the UK.
"I have told Brady that he may well achieve his goal by being transferred there."
Mr Di Stefano hopes to have Brady moved under the Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984.
Brady, who was born in Glasgow, was jailed alongside Myra Hindley in 1966 for murdering five children in the Manchester area in the 1960s.


Every time I go through the bleak and soulless Saddleworth Moor I think of poor little Keith Bennet still out there in an unmarked grave. Not even buried, just dumped in a hole. I think of the grief of his poor mother, and the efforts this tortured has made to prise the location from this beast and his demoness of a lover.

To comply with any wish of Brady's would be an act of betrayal to Keith's mother. I can understand al Megrahi being released, after all, who wouldn't rank diplomacy a greater priority than a plane full of human lives?

What is our justice system becoming? Even in the small area of it I work I have seen it eroded over the last 30 years. burglars and shoplifters are laughing at the cops and the courts, they treat people like me as just a minor nusiance knowing if we catch them bugger all will happen and they can stroll into another shop and try their luck tomorrow.

Civil respect from everybody, young and old has gone down the pan. kids treat everyone else like shit and the old folk speak and make demands like everything is simply their right.
