This Lambe Geezer wants to have good hard look at himself.
Lambe: "Mr Lambe said: 'I have enormous sympathy for the Bulger family and when I think about what they've been through it breaks my heart.'" - so much so he's going to put them through the ringer again! lowlife.

True enough Naomi, I don't know him, I don't know his work, I don't know his motivation and I don't know what effect ( if any) this film will have, (but there is always the Butterfly effect with any creative work,) and neither does anyone else, yet people are quite happy to second guess everything about him.

kvalidir, I'm happy to second guess, not everything, but some things about him. I actually find this quite sickening.

Mrs Bulger had only one child when she let go of James while she chatted to a shop keeper.

Chill, why shouldn't she go on TV each time the story is re-told?? It's her story and her baby that was tortured and killed. As far as I'm concerned, it's her business and no-body else's. She should ALWAYS have the final say.

She let go of his hand to pay for her purchase Tambo.

//In one heartbreaking moment, Denise recalls: “I let go of his hand just to get my purse out of my bag, and as I handed the money over I looked down and he was gone. It was that quick.”\\

There’s no denying that what they did was horrific and will never be explained. It’ll be pored over by the public, academics, liberals and psychologists all trying to make some sense or give an explanation for the incomprehensible.
Two feral scallies in a game of dare and double dare, each looking to outdo the other in an ever-escalating horror that one can’t imagine.
The act itself aside, everybody lost that day. The Bulgers lost a son, Venables and Thompson lost and by their actions destroyed the innocence of childhood in the most ghastly manner. Their families lost too, lost their sons and the years of seeing them become teenagers and young men, ordinary members of society. What sense of horror and shame for them too?
It was almost as if society too had lost its mind, trying to fathom the inexplicable.
The press lost any semblance of decency it had by printing ‘details’ of the circumstances of death that were utter lies.
The telling and re-telling of it will continue for decades and there’ll always be a new or different perspective in order to try and understand the inexplicable.

For the reasons I gave. The actions of Jamie’s parents(though understandable) have given this documentary far more coverage and promotion than it could have dared hope for.

Where is evidence of boys of abducting a girl as Bulger claims?

[ladybirder]

It was all over the news and papers at the time Tambo.

It was indeed, LB....and that mother's blood must have run cold when she found out what had happened to James.

[naomi24]

//that mother's blood must have run cold when she found out what had happened to James. //

That has to be a gross understatement. I seriously can't imagine what she felt, how she coped - or how she is still coping. To lose a child is bad enough but in these circumstances the pain must be utterly unbearable.

Naomi, I was referring to the mother of the boy and girl in Ladybirder's link.

[naomi24]

Ahhh. OK.
