I've seen an article on the BBC News site announcing that the Justice for Kirsty Campaign has closed. Kirsty was killed in a boating accident in Mexico in 2000 while saving her sons - I heard the sad news on the BBC telly news so it's appropriate to hear about this on the BBC website. The official announcement is here.It's probably hard for Jean, Kirsty's mother, to accept but it looks as though the campaign went as far as it could and succeeded in getting the case re-opened and re-investigated. December must be doubly hard since the accident was just before Christmas and, of course, Kirsty's voice is all over the radio and played in shops with the perennial Christmas favourite, 'Fairytale Of New York' with The Pogues. That's also a good thing, since it means her voice and name continue.
I'm having a bit of a personal Kirsty-fest tonight in Plastic Mansions.
