Ard,

It's been that way since before and after the McMahon murders. What bothers me is how the big shots in London did nothing about it or if they were not aware of the real situation then they have not been doing their job. You cannot govern a place unless you keep an eye on the place. I am sure they have known about these type of things all along but as usual did nothing about them, no bloody wonder the early protest marches were necessary.
Of course these latest stories will never make it to the front pages the way the McCartney murder did. But that's to be expected.
