"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...
