Captain_Sensible Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 2 hours ago, TheScarf said: This always causes controversy when it's said, but her parents are victims in all of this too. Their lives are ruined too now. They'll be hounded by the media, by strangers who think they're also guilty by association, disowned by a lot, if not all, friends. I don't know if they still work but can you imagine having to go into work after this too? What their daughter did was disgusting, evil, despicable and a lot more, and they'll now have to pay the price for her actions. Indeed. Apart from the babies, I think Letsby’s parents are actually the biggest victims in all this, even more so than the parent’s of the babies involved. For one of your own kids to have done this would be unimaginable IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuffman Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Did I not read somewhere that when she was accused by the Consultants her dad threatened to go to the GMC unless she received an apology? I know he was sticking up for his daughter but if she'd been removed how many kids would have been saved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 7 hours ago, diegomarahenry said: I was on a course maybe 10 years ago and there were a couple of guys from a well known logistics provider on it. They were on the group that supplies the Prison service in England with catering products. Rose West has a job in one of the prisons (the one she is in obviously) and he said that you never get over the chill of receiving an email from Rose West complaining that they under-delivered Mars bars. I think if people knew whole life sentences involved sending e-mails because deliveries weren't fulfilled they'd be a lot less likely to suggest the death penalty as an alternative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Imagine getting a snotagram from Rose fucking West, it would be far too tempting to be less than respectful in your response to her confectionary shortage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 8 hours ago, 101 said: Don't get how the story about her parents is "public interest" I think that risks turning innocent people into targets for abuse and harassment for their daughters actions when they had no part in any of her killings. Even for the mail it seems poor. The point of the story, and journalism more generally, isn’t about public interest, or the pursuit of truth or any of the other shite journalists tell themselves - it’s about selling newspapers and making money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said she’s had some “surgery” over the years to make her less Rose West like. I’m pretty sure that unless she introduced herself to me and said, hello, I am Rose West, wife of Fred West, here is a picture of me for you to compare, I wouldn’t immediately think, f**k me, that’s Rose West. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 20 hours ago, Ziggy Sobotka said: A Death Penalty referendum would be won relatively comfortably by the Vote 'ang em side imo. Yougov did some polling on this about 18 months ago. The results showed that the public opposed the death penalty for ordinary murderers but supported it for terrorists, serial killers and child murderers, and were evenly split for murderers of police officers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit that was what made me lose some sympathy for the parents, by all means have your kid's back but that's a step too far. That said, I think of all the people in line for a whipping over this her father is probably not at the front. At least, not based on anything we know so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her friends thought she was innocent all the way through the trial, her parents probably thought the same, along with the hospital management. Sounds like she was very convincing, maybe to the point of half believing it herself. Her pictures certainly don't give off OFTW vibes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
