“Is it coincidence that, just days after some intolerant maniac pops up on these pages advocating arson against the travellers in Central Park, a caravan in a field is set on fire?
If I were the senior officer investigating this crime, I might want to contact the Herald and trace the poster of that particular comment, along with those who green-arrowed his stupid, dangerous and criminal idea.”
