Yes I'm crap but...

Oh the perils of being employed rather than a lay-about student. If I'd known what I was in for, I would certainly have revelled in my lay-about opportunities a lot more than I did.

Anyway, I was sitting on the tube the other day and I got so angry. I was reading the Metro (always a bad idea) and there was the tragic case of little Millie, whose dad got pissed off with her mum, and decided to kill his little girl as an act of revenge. Okay, obviously he's mentally ill - people have affairs all the time and having them exposed does not usually end in dead children. However, the fact that his poor wife was having a rather steamy affair does not IN THE SLIGHTEST justify somebody deciding to kill their child out of jealousy. Why does the media feel the need to shout about the woman's dubious sexual pleasures as though she had somehow invited him to do this? No real person believes that it's the case, so why oh why does it suddenly gain mythical and immense importance in the press? Because whilst it's okay for fathers to work long hours, have affairs, leave their families etc, when a woman happens to look for sexual gratification outside of her marriage she automatically invites her partner to kill her children, that whore?

Surely not. Surely not even the *Metro* is that right wing and backward...
