i am pretty sure i read that the police went to the workhouse just before 5 am to tell him a body was at the mortuary(Polly Nichols),so will the prog say he killed Polly went back to the workhouse and awaited the police to tell him he had a body to deal with?

Mann seems to have had a horrible life, a lifetime in workhouses, in the East End bad food, hard labour, sensory deprIvation,no stimulation, family or change. His mental capacities would be much reduced or underdeveloped. Hardly surprising he had fits. Poor Man, a lifetime of poverty equals lifetime of imprisonment.

Sam was converted long ago, Trevor... at least, in terms of being an avid reader of your books. Converting to your theories is going to take me a little longer, perhaps
Well its nice to know I have one avid reader all i have to do is convert Sam and the rest hallelujah !!!!!!!!
To be honest I was put off by the PM, but as you seem to have readers whose opinion appears to me to have sound footing then I may splash out.
Truth is female, since truth is beauty rather than handsomeness; this [...] would certainly explain the saying that a lie could run around the world before Truth has got its, correction, her boots on, since she would have to chose which pair - the idea that any woman in a position to choose would have just one pair of boots being beyond rational belief.

Hi,
I think I'll be out on sunday, but I'll have the show recorded and post my thoughts on here when I can.
Having had a flick through Trow's The Many Faces of Jack the Ripper, I noticed that he uses the ages of at least two proposed candidates (Tumblety, 50 and Ostrog, 56) against the likelyhood of them being the Ripper, arguing that they were much older than any of the suspects the witnesses saw. Yet, Mann was aged 52(?) in 1888. Presumably he'll address this in the programme - perhaps by arguing that the witness statements are irrelevant, or that Mann was often referred to as 'baby-face' among his colleagues.
....but having just listened to Trevor Marriotts podcast, does anyone think there is a connection between his organ removal idea and Mei's naming of Mann?
