"what is being written is terrible" says friend

Local Parish priest says

They are a lovely family and I have the greatest love and respect for them

OK Father, that is all very well. However, and I do not want to rush to judge, you have the greatest respect for a person

• involved in supplying prostitutes
• in business he was ruthless and violent.
• loan shark and standover man.
• pay slips he had provided to obtain the loan had been forged.
• was employed as a debt collector.
• finance company was trying to repossess the Mercedes
• both an alcoholic and a heavy cocaine user
• Hot on his heels were Customs officers with a deportation notice
• would open up the back of his car and have a load of knock-off designer handbags

I don't doubt he was a lovely family man. However...
