Pink, people think you and I are the same person!...

nah pinks not your colour 

[pinkblossoms]

And like you do here ducky?

"It would appear the McCanns may indeed have instigated a police investigation into trolls, though perhaps not the one they envisioned."

I fear you are going to be disappointed.   

And I am touched you care 

[ferryman]

At this stage we don't know.

But suppose the outcome of the inquest is that the shame of being exposed as an on-line activist against the McCanns drove Brenda Leyland to take her own life.

Tragic though that would be, an equally tragic, but opposite, outcome might have been that Kate (or conceivably even Gerry) might have been driven to suicide by the online activities of Brenda (and others of like mind).

That is why on-line abuse must be opposed, even with the weight of the law.

Clearly Martin Brunts involvement in the death of Brenda Leyland was enough to see him removed from presenting any further news reports on Sky TV or anywhere else for that matter.  He has also ceased making any further posts on social media sites so what has become of the globe trotting justice reporter?

I must admit I am not a regular Sky News watcher, possibly he has taken some leave until after the inquest.

Next session on 20 March 2015 and Martin Brunt called as witness.

Furthermore, the coroner stated that none of the witnesses are currently subject to criminal proceedings but that can change.

So why the delay I wonder.

Surely by now the cause of death has been established and if not why ?

It's more than establishing the physical cause of death. The sequence of events started with Brunt's doorstepping Brenda Leyland and cause and effect has to be established. It seems that this will be a complex case.

Fair points Montclair.

Brunt, Sky and the dossier compilers are going to have some uncomfortable months ahead, no matter the bluster of the mccann supporters.

At least where Brunt is concerned, it absurdly simple.  He could not reasonably have been expected to predict that asking her a few civil questions about Ms Leyland's deplorable harassment of the McCanns might contribute to her untimely death, and it probably didn't.

The coroner might wag a finger, but that'll be about it.

I'm sure Brunt will be feeling bad, but he shouldn't beat himself up too much.

No one else (with a rounded perspective) will ...

Sure, if Brunt has no conscience, he shouldn't feel too bad about causing a woman's death. God, some of you people have no heart at all. No, I correct myself, you only have feelings for neglectful parents.

Did the coroner actually put it that way?  Or is that your interpretation?

Actually, anyone with a conscience or with 'a rounded perspective'  will see the clear connection.

Unfortunately, die hard mccann supporters only have feelings for them, AND NO ONE ELSE.

I think some people just have no sense of irony ...
