    I find self righteousness in the face of other peoples' tragedies more distasteful than gallows humour, frankly.

      A woman who was somehow permitted to run up a debt at Millers Court without any form of reproach.

      Many possible and reasonable explanations for this have been presented, R.D. Is there a reason you like to surround it in suspicion?

        The original post wasn't funny though. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of comedians like Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Car but if your going to make a joke out of someone's misfortune atleast make it funny.

          Suspect Jacob Levy lived on Fieldgate Street for 4 years which is halfway between Bucks Row and Berner Street. He then moved to #36 Middlesex Street which is central to the Tabrum, Chapman, Eddowes and Kelly Murders. # 36 Middlesex Street was owned by witness Joseph Hyam Levys mother Francis.

            Yeah, sorry. I completely forgot that Stride and Eddowes were murdered 'horrorifically'.

            For what it's worth, I did once wonder if the Ripper knew Stride and Kidney, and ironically removed Eddowes's kidney out of spite - kind of like the speculation about a link between the GSG and Eddowes calling herself "Nothing".

            I've grown up a bit since then, but my sense of humour can still be rather immature.

            Love,

            Caz

              Funnily enough, John, my aim was not to make you laugh.

              I'm an optimist, but there are limits.

              Love,

                I see nothing for you to apologise for. You want to accompany a modern murder squad investigation. It’s not conversation you’d find at one’s Great Aunt’s tea party in 1976, let’s put it that way.

                  I'm doing a slow clap over here. Good one.
