Good fucking riddance
"The serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper has died.

Peter Sutcliffe, 74, was one of the UK's most notorious prisoners, having murdered at least 13 women across the north of England in the late 1970s."

...

"It is understood Sutcliffe had refused treatment after contracting coronavirus at HMP Frankland in County Durham."

It was awful. I remember at the time, even in infant school we knew about it. Poor poor women.

A wise older feminist who lived through those years once told me, never call Peter Sutcliffe that name, as it elevates his status. He's plain old Peter Sutcliffe. It really stuck with me, and I would always have used YR before.

And yes thinking of the women today.

Very good news.

Let's all take the time to remember his 13 victims: Wilma McCann, Jayne McDonald, Yvonne Pearson, Patricia Atkinson, Josephine Whitaker, Vera Millward, Jacqueline Hill, Barbara Leach, Marguerite Walls, Irene Richardson, Helen Rytka, Emily Jackson and Jean Jordan.
