Edgar, just because you are old enough to remember those rhymes when they were young, fresh and radical doesn’t mean everyone is.
I repeated them because I was unaware of them before doing some research about two years ago, and figured that others – not you, obviously: you know everything – might also be thoroughly unaware of them too. (There is another one that I’d forgotten – remember the chants that the Hare Krishna followers used to chant, but replace Hare Krishna with Harry Roberts…!) Sometimes you have to eat a little dirt, and sometimes you have to hear (or read) unsavoury things, and these rhymes demonstrate the sort of lengths some people went to in an effort to rile the police; although I cannot honestly believe that anyone took those rhymes seriously at the time, as in believed that Harry Roberts was their friend because he’d killed police officers, but it is a crazy world and stranger things must have happened in the past. I would never condone what this man did and judging from the things he has done when in an open prison (smuggling in contraband and selling drugs to other inmates) and threatening the owners of an animal sanctuary he was working at with violence when he was on day release that, short of a recent full frontal lobotomy, I can’t imagine he is anywhere near rehabilitated enough to anybody but an opportunistic parole boards satisfaction.
It comes as no surprise to see you leaping to this creature’s defence, but it would be appreciated if you had the courtesy to read what was written.
Mr Boyle, I think you’ll find the ‘creature’ he is referring to might actually be me…
Edgar disagrees with me; apparently anything I put here is wasted space and antagonistic, my only purpose is to stir up trouble, and he will happily point that out to me at every available opportunity – witness his second sentence in post 7 (above). Water off a ducks back, though.
