Is It Just Me: Who Is Starting to Think Crime Does Pay in the UK?

I am not impressed, in fact, once again I am ashamed of the country I live in.


Unless you lived under a stone in 2008, you couldn't have missed the story of Shannon Matthews. For 24 days, Shannon simply vanished from her home in Yorkshire after going swimming with her school.


We saw her poor Mother cry on TV as everyone in the local area looked for the girl, with hope fading of her ever being found. People started to remark that she was the next Maddie McCann, who also went missing not long before Shannon. Well wishers sent cards and money, and her anxious family looked more and more tired and drawn as the TV cameras followed their every move.
