Following the News of the World's so-called name and shame campaign on paedophiles, a thoroughly predictable spate of attacks has been perpetrated against completely innocent people.
On August 25, a well-respected children's doctor, who works at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport, had the front porch and door of her house daubed with the word "paedo". She has since moved, fearing more serious attacks.
According to Gwent police, the illiterate wretches responsible for this appear to have confused the woman's job title of paediatrician with the word paedophile.
There can surely be no doubt the driving force behind the News of the World's sick and unhelpful campaign was a bunch of ignorant and mindless oafs, engulfed by a tide of twisted and murderous emotions.
