    They have had umpteen attempts at getting This Town in order both Tory and Labour since the war and cocked it up each time, Now we have a City that only the well to do can enjoy. We the ordinary people have been priced out of the town centre. Grandiose schemes that left the true Sunderland people behind.

I LOOKED LIKESUTCLIFFE, I DROVE MY WAGONS AROUND THE SAME REGION HAS HE. PICKING UP PRODUCE FOR MY BUSINESS. THREE SEPERATE POLICE REGIONS PULLED ME IN OVER THESE MURDERS. I GUESS, ON REFLECTIO, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO TOO. EACH FORCE WERE UNAWARE THAT I HAD BEEN PULLED IN. SOME FORCES ACTED PROFESSIONALLY WHILE OTHERS WERE BASTARDS.

I STARTED IN THE SHIPYARDS THAT BRINGS MEMORIORS OF THE EFIL THATCHER YEARS. I REMEMBER THAT EVER YEAR THERE WASA RACE ALONG FAWCETTE STREET TO BEAT THE CLOCK CIMING. THE FIRST ALIMINUIUM BRIDGE IN THE WPRLD WAS BUILT IN THE DOCK. I SWAM IN THE SEA 6 DAYS A WEEK. THE GREAT SIR JOESPH SWANN THE INVENTER OF THE LIGHT BULB WAS BORN HERE AND THE AMERICAN EDISON OBTEND THE USE OF OF IT FOR JUST NORTH AMERICA.

    I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN SUNDERLAND. THE NAME ' MACKEMS ' IS A NEW NAME. I NEVER EVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL I WAS DOWN IN THE MANACHER AREA. MY FRIENDS, THAT I GREW UP WITH ALSO ASKED ' WHO THE HELL ARE THESE MACKEMS ? WE WERE ALWAYS CALLED THE WEARSIDERS OR THE BLACK CATS. WE ALWAYS IGNOR THOSE WHO REFER TO US MACKEMS. I WORKED IN THE SHIPYARDS IN THE 1950s AND NO ONE HAD HEARD OF A MACKEMS. IT WASA WORD WE HAD NEVER HEARD OF. SO, I AM A WEARSIDER AND WILL ALWAYS WILL BE. I LIVED DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND THEREFORE MY MEMERY IS AS SOUND AS A BELL. SO THE NEWCASTLE SUPPORTER MUST BE CALLED ' THE CASTLE PEOPLE '. OKAY? BUT I CALL THEM ' GEORDIES ' WHICH THEY RIGHTLY LOVE. OUR FAVOURATE SON WAS THE MAN THAT INVENTED THE ELECTRIC LIGHT BULB. HE WAS BORN OPPOSITE SUNDERLAND UNIVERSITY ON WEATHERAL GREEN..... HIS NAME SIR JOUESPH SWANN. HIS MAIN FACTORY LATER ON WAS IN NEWCASTLE WHICH STILL DESPLAYS HIS ORIGINAL LIGHTS OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT STORE CALLED H&M THAT NOW OCCUPIES IT.

I LOOKED LIKE THE RIPPER AND MY MOTHER LIVED ABOUT ONE MILE AWAY FROM WHERE THE THOUGHT HE CAME FROM FROM BECAUSE OF THE TAPES. THE RIPPER NEVER CAME FROM THERE. I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE MET UP WITH THIS FRAUDSTER. BUT SAYING THAT, I DROVE WAGONS AROUND THE SAME AREA AS THE RIPPER WHILST COLLECTING PRODUCE FOR MY BUSINESS. ALL 3 POLICE UNITS AT THE TIME WERE NOT CONNECTED. CHESHIRE, WEST YORKSHIRE AND WEST MIDLANDS.

    As bad as he was this Humble did not cause the death of 3 more women, the incompetence, arrogance, sexism, etc, caused that and to all the others. Several witnesses had already described the attacked as black haired, swarthy looking, bearded, deep stirring eyes, and a BRADFORD/Local accent! If they had listened and followed up on other vital evidence the Ripper would have been caught by the summer of 79 especially as he was interviewed 9 times. Obviously, Humble deserved to get 10 years in prison.

  • @pattymelt-go3fv
    @pattymelt-go3fv 2 місяці тому

    What I don't understand is: HOW no one in Humble's family, not his brother nor his wife, recognized his voice on the tapes?! Apparently the tapes were played everywhere in public constantly, even in supermarkets and on the radio. Everywhere there was a PA system...and even broadcast from police cars in motion. Humble's voice must not have been very "distinctive"? Given how easy it was for 3 people to identify Stephen Young from a MUCH SHORTER clip played on Crimewatch UK, two of whom were supposedly his family members. Stephen Young, was the insurance agent who murdered Harry and Nicola Fuller.
