"Probably knows"?
Yeah, in fact he's so well versed on the subject he's even been helping the police with their inquiries.
it's always the quiet ones so it's going to be some no-mark lurker who has been about for yearsBakunin's too obvious. Law of averages says one of us is a serial killer though

I passed a very entertaining few hours with Bakunin playing 'have you heard of this serial killer?' a while back.
I think we were the only two that enjoyed that thread mind.
ok, in that case the other one is a no-mark lurker who has been about for yearsI was thinking it was probably you tbh.
And christie's house in Rillington place, demolished in the 1970s.
As a child in the early 1960s I recall going to Tussauds Chamber of Horrors which at that time included a fairly detailed reconstruction of Christie's kitchen. I don't know if it used the original furniture but if they'd been able to do so they would have. The exhibit that most stuck with me however was a small glass case containing the piece of toffee which a child had been chewing as it was murdered.I think that was the whole street being redeveloped though, not just number 10. It wasn't demolished until the late 60s/70s.

how do you think librarians keep it so quiet? it's not with a well-placed word, i can tell you: you can only study in silence because rough men and woman stand ready to do violence on your behalf.Libraries are quiet places.

this is tower hamlets. they have a reputation to uphold: once they're bought they try to stay bought.If he got planning permission based on it being a celebration of London women can't a complaint be made to the planning permission people? I know they usually do fuck all in circumstances like this.
One of the irritating things about their planning application was them making a big deal about the museum being the only resource in the area for women's history given that the women's library had very recently closed.I hope someone runs with the idea of a museum of east London's women though, could be really fascinating
These items were auctioned in December last year.In the display case is the actual whistle Police Constable Watkins blew to call for help when he found Catherine Eddowes mutilated body in Mitre Square. Also see Police Constable Watkins’ notebook, handcuffs and truncheon he was carrying that day – one of the rarest Ripperologists collections of recent times.
The detailed record of the inquest was published in a £15 paperback more than a decade ago.He did not sound a whistle, because they did not carry whistles. The watchman did whistle.
This place is massively benefitting from the Streisand effect, I'm sad to say. It would have folded from lack of interest or passing traffic, I'm sure. Now, it's going to be brought to the attention of anybody vaguely interested in such things.
The owner's professional reputation won't benefit from the Streisand effect though.
Sexism controversy for a diversity officer* doesn't reflect well on him or people that employ him as a diversity officer. (* or Head of Diversity, or whatever the job title).Eh, the kind of people who employ this guy don't care. They go with the numbers, no matter the reputation
If you're proper into this stuff you'd know and would plan a visit anyway. If you're only vaguely into it why would you make a special trip to see stuff that's always been out there but he's just collected together? There's nothing there to turn someone from vaguely interested into definitely interested.This place is massively benefitting from the Streisand effect, I'm sad to say.

Whatever he does, I doubt it'll be diversity related. But, yes, I'm sure he won't be left unemployed and destitute.Looking at his LinkedIn he's reached the level where he's now a non-exec director or head of company, as such he's reached the old boys club where he's rich enough for the rules to break down.
No doubt.after he's.finished his stint as a chief executive for some list thing he'll be able to write up that he's an entrepreneur or something before a cosy retirement
