I wasn't thinking of names!

I don't believe that stone can carry the taint of something like that, and if it could be used for good, it should be.

But clearly enough people think it can be tainted that it should be pulverised.

It must be an enormous relief for some of the people concerned, like Leveller's MIL, to find that they were not alone.

And for people like the nurses who knew that things were not right but had no power to interfere (I've just seen reports from Stoke Mandeville from a patient who was advised to pretend to be asleep when he was on the ward.)

And I hope it is an enormous worry for those responsible for his private rooms in various institutions where, in one case, he was the only man allowed on the ward. What gave him his power? Made him able to put things into his autobiography that should have had the police on his doorstep with impunity? The whole thing stinks.
