The recent Napoli disaster is one example of how low some people can sink. After the ship wan run aground (to avoid the terrible environmental consequences of sinking in deep water) vast numbers of containers were washed overboard.


Suddenly the newspapers realise that these people are in fact looters, thieves and criminals. They teurn from the beaches to the surrounding villages, ransacking houses and out buildings. How do they justify their actions? 'Finders Keepers', 'Things are just waiting to be picked up' 'The insurance will pay'. Suddenly the newspapers are all righteous indignation - despite the fact that they contributed to the mayhem. Pity the poor people who had sent their worldly goods on the Napoli seeing these idiots parading their private possessions to the cameras or offering them for sale on the Internet. What with this & Jade Goodey lets all wonder what we're coming to!
