As with Whitechapel 1888, one must remember those poor souls who lost their lives and for whom there was no real justice – the perpetrator(s) never having been held to account. The Whitechapel horrors seem to dominate people’s thoughts when thinking of sensationalised happenings in London. Is it because, at the time, there was so much unrest in London amongst the labouring poor coupled with the explosion of the prurient yellow press in the later 19th century? Or was it something more sinister regarding the perception of the victims? Is that why 1888 has overshadowed the earlier Ratcliffe atrocities? On a happier note, have a Merry Christmas, GA! Looking forward to your 2022 posts!

The mystery deepens, the plot thickens. (Bar rhymes). Merry Christmas, dear G.A. and thank you for entertaining your readers. Please give my best to Schrödinger, excellent chat.
