Thank you Jim for doing a fantastic piece of investigative work. If only more journalists were motivated to work in this way - or indeed ALLOWED to - the world would be a better place.

Best wishes for all your future vital 'lifting the carpet'.

Amazing how you’ve just pulled on one string and found this whole web AA is involved in. Goodness knows how many other people/stories like this are out there. Just so much we don’t know about this city.

My Latin is rusty but serviceable:

Deviantia Socialis

Opportunista Oeconomici

Criminales Minuti et Astuti

Operarii Subdoli

Spivus Callidus

Sadly, I fear Spivus Callidus will be as hardy as Blattella germanica, and no amount of rolled up newspapers can swat him away. As with all your articles dear boy, sobering stuff.
