There was no Yorkshire Ripper cover up; with hindsight the police
could have done things differently; Sutcliffe was questioned 9 times
before he was arrested, and that by accident. I was living in Leeds at
the time so I know what I'm talking about, but it's very easy with the
wisdom of hindsight to say they got it wrong. There was no copycat
Ripper though, and there was certainly no three hundred year old
Dublin psychopath commuting to Yorkshire with a Stanley knife wedged
up his jacksey battering women in the area as Mr O'Gara seems to
believe.
This is an obsession based on the same sort of crap as the Diana
conspiracy, and Mr O'Gara should quit while he is behind.
