If she had known how to behave in the West she would have know that the proper thing to do was to give an interview to Martin Bashir and all would be forgiven.< /sarc>

Sorry. That case still enrages me.

It will continue to do so. Jacko, a pariah in America facing mounting expenses and legal fees, is setting up camp in Bahrain. Either because of or as a result of his association with Saudis and other Muslim moneymen, he's let deep-seated anti-Semitic stuff ooze out of his pale face in the past decade or so. IMHO, he will eventually have to decide if he will convert to Islam. If he refuses to do so, and his fetish for association with young boys continues apace, his sufferings in a relatively tolerant America were a prologue of worse times.

I was talking about Louise Woodward. The middle class British au-pair who shook Matthew Eappen to death.

But it was ok because she was just a fun loving teenager. :-/

She was allowed to return to the UK where she did an interview with Martin Bashir. She then happily went on to law school and was the beneficiary of a fund set up for her.

So from this I can only conclude that the proper way British to treat someone who shakes a child to death is to give them money and send them to law school.
