“did you notice that this was something that was relayed by REG?”
Whenever the subject of Jack the Ripper came up, as it often did in the East End in the twenties and thirties, because many people who were there when it happened were still alive, he used to say: "It was more to do with the Royal Family than ordinary people." And when asked who he thought it was he always said: "It was some one like Lord Randolph Churchill".
It is quite true that Reg offered some rather fanciful speculations of his own, but here he was putting words in his father’s mouth.
So he was not there? He can´t have been, since he was discredited?
“And why do you use him to exemplify semi-criminals? Surely he was criminal, all of him?”
“Did you hear that, Ben? I´m ahead!”
I don’t think that was quite what was meant though.
Regards,
Ben
