Wasn't the quote England is mine and it owes me a living??

Did she really say that, or was that just Morrissey's lyric? In the articles she said that Brady did the killing, and she was just 'guilty by association'.

I wonder what Morrissey thinks about this. Do you think he will send flowers?

Thanks for sending that in. At least "copy and paste", or "submit story", wasn't wasted on you.

What horrendous acts of horror...what can I say? I'm not from Manchester, not even England, but I think when it comes to this sort of revolting behavior, it doesn't matter where in the world you are. It's still haunting and it's something that will never be forgotten.

However, having said that, I understand that being from that area would definitely leave a much more impression and I can only imagine how eerie and realistically haunting it is for those who lived during the time of the murders, and especially lived near the site of the murders - then and now.

It's just so horrible...I guess words really can't express the sorrow for those children. As for Myra Hindley - well, okay, she repented, but -I can't forgive her for what she did to those children and their families; however, it's not up to me...

Evil impersonated.

there's still too many evil people around

I have to say that I was in agreement with Lord Longford. She was in prison too long.

Although I am English, I am also European. I'm sure that if the European Court of Human Rights had had jurisdiction here it would have felt it proper to have released her after 30 years.

The women was in her 20's when these hideous crimes were committed, and that was a long long time ago.

I voted Labour in the last general election, but this wasn't done to give politicians the right to decide the tariff for individual prisoners.

It would have been complicated to release the women, and there would have been a reaction from those directly affected. However, we have to accept that all people have human rights.

I cannot believe some of the comments on this,mostly by the brave Anonymous posters.Prison was too good for this bitch.May she rot in Hell for all eternity.

She did have a good haircut!

I think that there should be street parties to celebrate the fact that she has finally gone.

To whoever said that she was in prison too long, what about the mother of Keith Bennet? Don't you think that she has spent too long waiting for a body to bury? And what about the parents and families of Pauline Read, John Kilbride, and Lesley Anne Downey? Don't you think they've suffered enough? I can't even begin to imagine the pain and horror those families went through, not to mention the victims.

Those of you that feel sympathy for her and feel that she had reformed, would you have left her alone with your kids?

Every time I see that picture of her, my blood begins to boil. Was Hindley ever 'gentle and kind'? The question's too ridiculous to answer.

The only benefit that I can see from having released her from prison would be that the public would have been able to stone her to death.

Hindley had it way too easy. She was able to complete a university degree whilst in prison. There are many law-abiding members of the public that can't afford the luxury of a university education. Worst of all, Hindley was allowed to die in a hospital with some shred of dignity. Those poor innocent children that she and Ian Brady sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered were not afforded such dignity. They should release her corpse for mongrels to tear apart.

So next time one of you even begins to feel a grain of sympathy for that stonehearted witch, remember the faces of those children. Those poor children.

Robert Smith's having a bad hair day..

as i imagined, we'd be back to be bombed with all these stupid, useless, boring posts after the tour.....myra hindley is dead???? wonderful!!!! and who gives a fuck???? why don't you post about the apparent new album and stop fooling yourself with your fuckin', utter crap.....

Suffer little chlidren.

The Smiths will be forever linked to the moors murderd through this song.

The lyric, Morrissey wrote, was a personal
vieuw how he felt and in which way this tragedy affected his youth

She died in the same hospital i was born in!
just thought i'd tell you!

From the first sight, I thought this is a picture of infamous Linda Tripp (the Republican spy who befriended Monica Lewinski and then betrayed her for Clinton enemies...) Linda Tripp picture: frightening similarity: http://more.abcnews.go.com/media/us/images/ap_linda_tripp090130_t.jpg

and sooner the better

Wankers.Every last one of you.

I think it's quite amusing that one of the links related to her death says "Yahoo!-Myra Hindley dies". Almost like a whoop of joy that shes snuffed it.

bloody hell for all children killers. this woman is suffering now.and i'm glad.
signed,
meanie

Good riddance!

...but I’m not too happy about her dying on my birthday!! Ugh!

one of the most drab and un moz related topics posted for a while......

That bitch Hindley lost all her rights as soon as the first one of those children was murdered. Thats a death for no reason, and we all know what a death for no reason is...

People talk about her rights, why in gods name does she deserve any sympathy or freedom or decsion making? SHE KILLED FIVE CHILDREN!! Get a grip people, five innocent children were killed by this perverted monster, and not just ordinary murders, they were recorded for her own sick pleasure. Myra Hindley was a sick, twisted bitch who shall rot in hell (surely too good for her) for ever.

I think Morrissey would be incensed to hear some of the stuff people have written so far:

Myra Hindley should have been released?
Myra Hindley could have been innocent?
Myra Hindley was an injured party?

What a bunch of patronizing plonkers your really are. Wake up to yourselves you daft lot! Have you all gone completely soft in the head?

She butchered 5 kids and didn't endure enough pain. She wasn't sorry; she got off on the all attention she got on the news. It was just another way for her to make people suffer.

Morrissey wrote a song saying that the ghosts of the children would haunt her for the rest of her life. He wrote,

"Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads
Oh John, you'll never be a man
And you'll never see your home again"

Do these sound like the words of a man that thought Myra Hindley was an injured party?

Don't preach to me about "civilized society"! Society stopped being civilized when she slaughtered 5 bairns!

I ask how she could take a 10-year-old from a fairground and bring her to a man like Brady to be tortured and raped. Aggressively, she says: 'The girl shouldn't have been out at that time of night.'

No empathy, no compassion; a slice of reason completely missing. She is like an old-fashioned telephone switchboard in which the wires are there, but all in the wrong place. She acts regret, but it comes from a moral vacuum.

Yvonne Roberts, The Guardian, 17 November 2002.

We should all rejoice that a person of such unspeakable evil has left the earth never to return again. Hell was made for people like her and hopefully she will rot in it eternally.
Have no pity or sorrow for this woman.
Think of those five children. They never harmed anyone and yet she killed them, she killed these children and people talk about whether or not she should have been released!? That's revolting. She would have hanged had capital punishment still existed.
All we can hope for now is the quick and painful death of Ian Brady, knowing full well that that pain will never come anywhere close to the pain the parents of these children have had to feel constantly and unrelentingly these last 36 years.
It's people like her that make me doubt the injustice of the death-penalty.
Society owed these children and their loved ones the deaths of Myra Hyndley and Ian Brady, not their living.

Well what can I say? not much I´m afraid since I am not a mancunian...to stress those acts were horrendous would be quite obvious. I just hope she have paid for what she have done...that tortured sick soul. Radicalism leads to more extremists acts like the ones under analysis.

What kinda hair was that by the way? Maybe hairdresser on fire was another quote...

I didnt know about this murder, im only 23 and not from uk, only now i read about what happened, its very impressive. the poor child beeing axed and screaming its awfull to think of what they did...
They should just be tortured too, to see if they like it. Im glad the slut is dead.

Damn bitch is out of her misery, cant they keep her alive somehow for another 35 years or so?

Good Riddance!
And now bring me the head of Maggie Thatcher!

Where's the liquor?

The evil witch is finally dead! Let's throw a mucho grande fiesta!

this has possibly been the most contentious news posting on this site. it has become the platform in which everybody can avidly have a pop at each other! come on, next we'll be discussing the death penalty...and thats not a good idea, because many of the people logging on here live in a country that has it.
ENOUGH ALREADY!

i find this creepy and horrible, as well as depressing

and I believe that this is one of them. How can you justify killing innocent children? How can you have sympathy for someone with no remorse? Everytime that I read about this- it sends shivers down my spine. She may be dead, but the tragedy continues.

My prayers to the parents of those killed-

"....I knew I was a selfish coward but I could not bear the thought of being hanged, although over the years I wish I had been. It would have solved so many problems.....".....i totally agree with the bitch she should have been hung, and see if the motherfucker had like all the pain that she produced to those kids.....hope, though that she suffered a long and painful death....fucking slut!!!....

DING DONG the witch is DEAD. May she be anally raped in hell by a barbed wire penis for eternity.

Myra Hindley to be cremated
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's most reviled female prisoner, "Moors Murderer" Myra Hindley, who died last week, will be cremated in a ceremony barred to the public, police say. The committal will take place at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday in Cambridge. Hindley, who along with her lover Ian Brady sexually abused and killed five children, aroused widespread public hatred that barely dimmed four decades after the murders. She died last Friday aged 60 from respiratory failure after spending 36 years in jail. The murders of the children, who were buried on moors near Manchester, cast a shadow over 1960s Britain. Periodic talk that Hindley might be released would produce a welter of protest and few Britons lost sight of Hindley as a figure of hate. One of the most shocking aspects of the trial was the revelation that Hindley and Brady had tape-recorded their crimes. Detectives said they would never forget hearing one of their victims, 10-year-old Leslie Ann Downey, pleading for mercy as they killed her, or the tune of the "Little Drummer Boy" the couple played as they carried out the murders. Hindley always maintained she was driven to participate in the killings by Brady, a petty criminal said to be fascinated by Nazi killings and death. But police officers investigating the case believed Hindley was a willing and active participant, not the cowed and coerced woman she claimed to be. A chain smoker who suffered from heart disease, Hindley fought hard for her freedom. While her supporters said she had found God and repented, most Britons wanted her to die in prison.

This story should never have been posted in the first place.

Mark Leech, the editor of the Prisons Handbook, spent three hours with Hindley in her cell at Durham jail five years ago and believes it was right that she died in prison. 'She invited me to see her because she wanted me to change my views. I came away not with an alternative opinion but with an entrenched one. She struck me as a very emotionless, very cold person - perhaps that's inevitable after 30-odd years in jail. But she was very adept at telling you what she thought you wanted to hear, if she thought it would bring her closer to release.'

I think the American justice system is awful. Take Mumia Abu Jamal for example. The man has been on death row for almost two decades even though much of the evidence in the case is in his favor. I don't know much about the English justice system, but I guess there isn't much use in arguing about whether or not Myra Hindley got enough time in jail or not.

It takes guts to be gentle and kind...
