Ripper to be freed? I don't think so

"Ripper's fit to be freed from Broadmoor" screams this morning's front page of The Sun.

"Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is fit enough to be freed from Broadmoor, the top-security hospital's medics have decided.

"And he could be transferred to a less secure unit before being allowed on the streets in a rehabilitation programme..."

What absolute rubbish. There is as much chance of Peter Sutcliffe being let out onto the streets as there is of the Monster Racing Looney Party winning the next election.

We all know that Peter Sutcliffe will die in prison - because it would be political suicide for any governing party to approve his release.
