Blaenau - capital of news

Blaenau Ffestiniog is once against at the centre of the British media world - although this time it's not Big Brother's Glyn but 46-year-old Derek Williams, a pervert who go caught downloading child porn from the web. As I write, the town is awash with journalists.
Judge John Rogers QC's carefully crafted comments, citing a Home Office request to judges to go easy on our overstuffed prison cells as he let Williams walk free, has focussed a torrent of complaints on the Government in general and Home Secretary John Reid in particular.
Williams' story made our front page this morning and is certain to feature prominently in tomorrow's edition as the storm gathers momentum. Could this seedy little man have a part to play in the decline and fall of yet another Home Secretary? (and what a doomed portfolio that has been during Blair's administration!).
What was slightly depressing was the way the TV stations have turned Williams into some kind of media tart, spouting forth his views from the comfort of the sofa to all who might listen. Who really values the opinions of somoene who revels in the sexual exploitation of children?
