Both Cotton Merchants, no doubt both doing business in the states.

Bus intentionally crashed down a snowy hill https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2...nd-schools-closed-as-snow-hits-yorkshire

What a calamity of errors by all parties, how can this happen in this day and age?

Bus company should have risk assessments and procedures for roads like this, the bus should not have been going down this road.

Council should have gritted the hilly bus route, there was plenty of weather notice.

Driver should not have attempted to take a bus down this hill, even chains would have been risky.

3/3 fail.

Looks like there is a good chance now. DNA tests on the forensic samples do not match and may show Peter Sullivan's innocence, also the dental evidence that was used to convict him is now in question.

It was stated in 2022 that he was unlikely to be released, he is now about 67 years old, he did have a string of non-violent previous offences.

This could mean the real killer got away with it and may even have died by now.

The internet is becoming more and more financially driven, very little effort is put into content, much more effort is put into expanding articles to obtain more advertising time hence revenue. In this case I suspect some of the content is AI derived because you can see how stated "facts" are linked to reality but miss by a sidestep.

Perhaps we are considered the most moral country and therefore the most likely to cave in?
