Saw another piece about how Scotland Yard fights to keep the Ripper files secret to protect the identities — get this — of the informants, who were active 130 years ago.
Government logic amazes me sometimes.
Just to be dramatic (as a drama queen is), an alleged expert from the Yard testified from behind a curtain so he couldn’t be IDed by anyone present; said descendants of those put away (for the Ripper crimes? none were!) could hold a grudge and hunt down descendants of informants. That’s obviously stupid.
