We may never know what turned an apparently normal girl into a murderous adult.

However, I feel sorry for a young woman who has made herself such a figure of hate and whose life is now effectively over.

 

She is now imprisoned for the rest of her life, never again to experience normality.

I contrast her position with that of Tony Blair.

He dragged his country into wars in the Balkans and the Middle East and is responsible for the deaths of millions, but whereas Lucy Letby is meted out the sternest punishment our legal system is able to apply, Blair has become a multi-millionaire and, although a figure of hate (to the extent that he has round-the-clock police protection) he is lauded by the sycophantic media and awarded a knighthood and other medieval honours.

It’s a mad world, my friends.
