It certainly hasn’t. On the weekend yet another father in the UK murdered his children and before killing himself. These incidents have all one thing in common – the parents are either seperated or divorced and the Dad’s had all prior expressed frustration and anger over their unfair treatment at the hands of the Family Court.

Not enough is known about this latest murder/suicide but it involved two little girls – aged one and three – and the father called his ex-partner to let tell her what he was about to do to their children. It makes you wonder just how a supposedly loving parent can do such a thing to their own children – especially when spite and vindictiveness is behind the act. Guys, this is no way to get revenge on anybody.

School Massacre in Finland:

You rarely hear any news coming out of Finland so it really shakes you when it does and it involves a gunman slaying school students. Finland, like Scandinavia, is a relatively safe place to live and the Fin’s I have met this year have all told me how easy going their society is. Ten students are so far counted as being dead – let’s hope that the number does not climb any higher. This is the second such incident to happen in Finland this year.

Terrorists strike again in Pakistan and bring back memories:

Another bomb blast in Pakistan has killed and maimed people at the plush Marriot Hotel; this one was huge and left an enormous crater in the car park. This rekindles personal memories for us; in 2002 a relative of mine was one of the eleven French Engineers who were killed when a suicide bomber blew up a bus in Karachi. Jacques was a lovely, wonderful man and this all just brings it not only for us but especially his wife and children.

Take a look at this picture: this is how scientists have reconstructed ‘Wilma’ - and they say she is what neanderthal woman looked like thousands of years ago. But hang on – haven’t I seen that face before…?

Anyone who has seen the Jeremy Kyle Show, or for that matter Jerry Springer, will instantly recognise this face – it could have belonged to any of his female guests!

But I reckon Wilma is the spitting image of Karen Matthews - mother of Shannon Matthews. See what you think…

But I reckon the similarities stop there; I bet Wilma would have cared for her own offspring far better than than Ms Matthews and her ilk ever did.
