Colin Parry was often just unable to be at all appropriate when speaking publicly -- I remember once in a church memorial service shown on tv, his speech turned into some tirade about the local rugby team, followed by chants. You could see everyone was rather aghast -- erm, no not now.
Mind you I don't suppose everyone is able to cope with the profile they'd be thrown into under the circumstances.
I fucking hate that man, It's a shame his son died, sad thing, for anyone really. But he always gloats within the Media, whenever there's anything to do with the IRA on the Regional News in the North West, he'll be on it.
The other lad's parents had a very low profile, I even think the father of the other child died sometime ago anyway.
You usually get the same people who leave loads of flowers on the memorial outside Boots in Warrington, each and every year. It's also thanks to him that all of Bridge Street got redeveloped with that stupid fountain crap and eventually THE SKITTLES!
Anyway, I cannot stand that Payne woman, I really wish these people would get on with their lives after their respective tragedies, I know it was bad what happened to Sarah Payne a few years ago, but life moves on and the world doesn't stop for you.
