Indeed. A fine man. A man of principle, and humanity.

Apparently Jonathan Sacks was not universally loved even within his own community due to some questionable views.

Serial killer Peter Sutcliffe.

Oh dear, what a shame, how sad.

Thoughts go to the families of his victims.

That's not a very 2020 thing to happen. Maybe it's a sign that 2021 is on the way.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

One death we possibly 'missed' last year was John Humble's (aka Wearside Jack). One gets the feeling he would have revelled in today's internet trolling. His tape undoubtedly helped to blinker senior police officers in charge of the Ripper investigation, arguably contributing to the death of another 3 of Sutcliffe's victims and the attempted murder of another 2. Before being apprehended and sentenced to 8 years (only serving 4) he apparently tried to commit suicide by jumping off a 90 ft bridge but landed on a boat and spent 3 months in hospital.
