Methadone & Muggings
No sooner do I post about Venables and Thompson and the lightly disguised Boy A novel, than Bulger-Mum Denise strides back into the limelight.
Like all sleaze rags that steal and defame, the Sun takes freely but of course won't share, so I can't illustrate this post with their splendid pic of Denise looking the "outraged mum" - but do click on the link because it's a humdinger of a shot and must have taken ages to pose to get just the menacing hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-mum look just right.
Why is she outraged? Encouraging news that could be the crack in the secrecy we've been waiting for that finally sees the pair outed:
So ... juicy stuff for the news hounds to pounce on and I don't reckon it'll be too long before we see some decent headlines and proper clear pics.
What's most hope-inspiring is
- They appear not to have done a 'Bainbridge Bunk' to salubrious dwellings in darkest New Zealand, but stayed right where it all happened. So much easier to be traced and making such a better eventual story.
- Far from my fears that they'd changed out of recognition and emerged from Oxbridge with brilliant degrees, they both seem to have stayed spooked and made a right mess of things. Ditto a good story for the gutter scribes.
- If Venables is going to be booted around on his own home patch, then *someone* knows what's going on - like, the entire public bar of the Star & Garter, not to mention half the ER section of Birmingham General.
It's all happening. I reckon Denise can start preparing a little more of a smirk.
Some ancient Bleeding Heart links
You do realise that Thompson's girlfriend is expecting a child?
