Perhaps it will, and I have no objection to people lobbying for such changes. Naming, shaming and door-stepping people who have committed no offence I do object to because two wrongs don't make a right.
I think you are missing the point just a little here.
Brenda Leyland was one of a number of individuals who had taken it upon themselves to troll and mount a hate campaign directed towards the family of a missing child.
If you think such people don't deserve to have their activities properly investigated when reported to the police that is a matter entirely for you.
But just as the dossier compilers had the right to do that ... everyone mentioned in that document had the right to await the outcome of the police investigation and the right to due process should that have been necessary.
Brenda Leyland had the right to due process, to suggest otherwise is ridiculous, she also had the opportunity of right to reply ... not on the doorstep (the confrontation was not broadcast live) but once she had time to gather her thoughts together ... she could also have sued Sky news much as Sir Cliff did with the BBC.
She chose another route of suicide.
One wonders if any of the targets of those named in the dossier had taken that route ... and I include their vulnerable adolescents without apology in that ... if it would have roused the same passion on this thread that we see about one of the contributors to their abuse?
