    What possible interest does this have to anyone, let alone on a site about classical music?

      Considering the “problems” raised with Aunt Alma, such as drinking one’s own urin, this is NOT the only news item that is way off the mark! And now let us wait and see how long it takes for Norman to delete THIS comment!!!

    • Colin48 says:

      I agree that publicising this on a classical music site is odd. On the other hand, 16 months imprisonment after having “nine previous convictions for violence” seems inadequate.

    • Tony Britten says:

      Couldn’t agree more. Sure, its horrific, but is it right to put it alongside the news of the ENO strike? I think not. And for the record I will support the strike and my union.

  • Jan Kaznowski says:

    Come on – ENO have enough problems without being linked to this. Doesn’t SD have some up to date Yuja Wang pics ?

  • anon says:

    I think this is an important reminder that ‘they walk among us’, for those of you who don’t think this is relevant to classical music. It can be anyone doing it and it can be done to anyone.
