  • Dire

    Hackery of the laziest kind: poorly produced, error-strewn and frequently insensitive to victims.

  • Interesting

    My only major criticism is that you both need to keep a much more open mind about Lucy Letby. The evidence that it was an unsound conviction is extremely strong, and dismissing experts who point this out and falling back on the argument that we shouldn’t be upsetting the families is not rational or credible.
