Another thing about the photo to me is that he looks like you would imagine a murderer to look- he seems to have a cold, steely glare in his eyes. I think if they were to try to get the public to campaign for him they would have to steer clear of using such a photo. On a related matter I don't agree with AA, I think there have been plenty of pro-Bamber pieces in the press, Eric Allison regularly promotes this in the Guardian and there was also a piece in the Sunday Mirror this year. Also, what with the Hillsborough Inquiry surely if there was evidence of police corruption from the mid-80s don't you think the public would accept this now? There's nothing for the establishment to lose in letting a provincial police force from 30 years ago to take the rap for letting an innocent man go to jail surely? Remember few if any of the serving officers at the time would still be working for the force today.
It certainly seems to me that you can generalise about the blue forum supporters. The women do seem to take the view that he is a lovely, almost saintlike man, and coincidentally they seem to be the most vitriolic Mugford [ censored word ]s. While the men tend to agree that he behaved in appalling and inappropriate ways but feel that this is irrelevant in establishing his guilt.
