Word Of The Day

"Insinuendo" - Edwin Greenwood's description of the media coverage of the unfortunate (presuming his innocence) Christopher Jefferies.


UPDATE - the Mirror says his favourite poem is this - the story of a man who was hanged for cutting his wife’s throat !

But the Mail reports that he loved Christina Rossetti - and Rossetti often wrote about death !

All I can say is, he's lucky he's not teaching now. My son's GCSE syllabus includes Robert Browning - and one of the poems is Porphyria's Lover - an everyday tale of a psychopath strangler.

It's just brilliant, isn't it? ;)
