  Bern's phrase "It was as if my own heart had been ripped out" sums it up perfectly for me, too. I'm not moved to tears by newspapers that often, but I was over this story. I suspect that Maggie Atkinson's words may yet cost her her job (and so they damn well should), but it's exactly the sort of soft touch on crime that I have always suspected New Labour of, and I expect I'm not alone. I can almost visualise Gordon Brown burying his head in his hands when he heard of this, and so close to an election, too.
