It seems that Jeremy Clarkson was referring to the five women killed by lorry driver Steve Wright. Well, each of those women was once a little girl...and they've ended up not only dead, but as the butt of some joke?

Seems many of our lorry drivers are fuming, and I can understand why.
It wasn't funny. It wasn't funny from the lorry drivers point of view, and it wasn't funny for the relatives of those who lost their lives. But the BBC will spin it, of course. They're already saying that they *only* had 200 complaints immediately after the programme, then another 300 or so later on, which is oooh, hardly anything at all. ??????

Jeremy Clarkson, is, in my opinion, an arrogant prat. I'm not into political correctness, hell it's caused many problems, and I've a great sense of humour, but this man is another who doesn't give a damn, who believes that he can say whatever he wants, about whomsoever he wants, whenever he wants, and he gets paid (probably again, a vast amount) by the BBC for saying it. There are things you can joke about, and things you can't. He needs to learn the difference.

Here's a very different view, from Reg Meuross, of one of those five women who were so brutally murdered. Perhaps Jeremy Clarkson would care to read the words and think about all those concerned in these horrific murders....and how almost every decent lorry driver in the land must have felt such rage over these killings.

He actually wrote this beautiful song after watching a programme where a mother talked about her daughter, who was a prostitute, because he was so touched by the total unconditional love from the mother of this young woman. When you see him sing it live, he'll make you feel the tenderness she has for this child of hers, maybe a little of her bewilderment too, but she loves her daughter beyond anything else in the world, and will always be there for her, no matter what. The incredibly tender way he sings it, the words 'she' says, well the tears aren't far away, particularly when you realise that just a short while later, this daughter whom she loved so dearly, actually became one of those five women who were murdered.


From his wonderful 'Dragonfly' CD:

"I wrote this song in 2006, after watching a programme in which a mother talked about her daughter, who was later to become one of the 5 murdered Suffolk prostitutes"

'Until I Hold You Once Again' by Reg Meuross

"It's time to put your red dress on
See how beautiful you are
Now the night is almost gone
You will be my falling star
And as the shadows turn to gold
And our tears to falling rain
Leave a promise I can hold
Until I hold you once again

I watch you brush your yellow hair
Run your fingers through the sun
My body aches to touch you there
Time is short and you must run
I know that others see your face
The eyes and mouth that I adore
I wish that they could take my place
Until I hold you close once more

A mother's arms are safe and sure
A mother's arms are soft and pure
This kind of love, no man will know
I'll still love you when you go

I know you've got your work to do
There's broken hearts for you to mend
I know the pain that men go through
And those who only need a friend
And when you close that hotel door
What happens there I'll never ask
I will only miss you more
Until I hold you once again"
