It's obviously understandable why they are thinking along those lines, but just because this despicable inhumane vermin did what he did, doesn't men all boys and men are predisposed to be evil to women. There will always be rancid nutters unfortunately, brainwashing little boys won't change that. In fact, it would more than likely be counterproductive.

They both showed incredible courage and composure to request to the BBC to make that programme.

Alas, the BBC can't do anything without pushing its political agenda. Yesterday's host being one of the most prominent proponents.

John Hunt is dignity personified and will be forever persecuted by what this cowardly fiend did to them, for the rest if his life. From their account, it sounds like they were treated quite badly by various organs of the state as well, no surprise either that they are incompetent even in cases of the highest profile. As I touched on, it's understandable that this vermin entering their lives and ultimately destroying them has given the family a view that all boys need 'fixing'.

I wonder what his thoughts are on capital punishment? Is that covered in the show?

It was one of the surreal news moments in my life time when the story broke.

It’s hard to wish someone the best when their world has been so cruelly ripped apart. He deserves credit for even being able to get out of bed in the morning.

A very brave man and may he find some peace within.

He appears to be coping remarkably well after what happened and to still live in same house where it happened shows a lot of moral fortitude. I presume he didn't see the aftermath of this terrible event or surely he wouldn't be able to get the mental pictures out of his mind.
   I'm no supporter of the BBC political bias, but didn't really notice any agenda last night. His daughter and himself merely stated that the boyfriend had shown no signs of being potentially abusive or violent before this attack on his family.
   They knew his brother was in prison but he himself seemed a nice normal lad, before being dumped days before by his daughter. They just reflected upon the fact that the killer had watched the misogynist Andrew Tate the night before. This then led the conversation into talking to young boys at school at an early age to respect girls to counteract the likes of Tate and other misogynists on line.
   I don't really see anything wrong or political in that personally.

I haven't hijacked the thread.

John Hunt actually took took the conversation away from trying to pin a multiple murder on social media discourse. John then went on to suggest all boys should be taught at primary school age iirc how to treat women, and take the responsibility away from family. I cannot agree with that at all, things being outsourced to the state that should be taken care of at home are fundamental to a lot of the issues of our time. But, I cannot iterate enough, John Hunt has every right to hold that opinion, it is completely understandable for obvious reasons. As I am entitled to disagree.

Amy was a bit different and started referencing the nonsense drama Adolescence that guardianista types got all excited about. Adolescence is highly political and complete fiction. Why people talk about it as if it's real, is quite the mystery.

I did not bring the BBC show up on the thread, but people were discussing it. I then discussed it. The only reason you have contributed, it appears, is to have another juvenile dig at me. duck's Water back off a.

Women can be evil to men but it manifests differently, not ordinarily through extreme violence, but they will see their lives ruined, often via patient revenge. Evil behaviour from fellow physical humans cannot be eradicated. Certainly a good upbringing at home can help to mollify the risk.
