I'm not going to start hating Helen, I like her but that was a HUGE lapse in judgement and even I'm offended. Younger people today probably won't know who Myra Hindley was or the filthy extent of her crimes so they won't understand how bad a comment that was to make. Helen needs to be given the STRONGEST possible warning for that and I think it should be shown in tomorrows show.
Just remembered I was having a nosy on Helen's twitter earlier on today and she had referred to someone as Myra Hindley in one of her tweets. Can't remember if it was someone from Big Brother or someone she was arguing with but just shows she must regularly use this as an insult.
The media portrays Hindley as some sort of mythical character so it's probably why it's easy to detach and not even fathom her crimes. The comment will no doubt go unpunished,

She's a child killer Anfernee!
The difference with this is Anthony said Craig looked like her, maybe a bit tasteless but not malicious. The context Helen used it in however was spiteful and I think she should have been pulled up for it. Maybe I'm uptight but I don't think comparing someone who is a bit of a pain in the arse to a murdering scumbag is funny.

Helen takes things too far.
It would be nice if she ends up in court one day, having to pay out compensation for libel/slander.
Myra Hindley whehhh wehhhh wehhehhh, someone from history that I also haven't really thought about before that did something bad (I think) whehhh wehehhh wehhehhhh, want to be annoyed wehhhh whehhh wehhhh. Makes me a good person wehehhh wehhhh wehhehhhh.
I respect everyone that gets angry and offended by this post - I wish I could hold your hand so we could be offended together and go "Wehhh wehhhe wehhhhh!"
It's not funny in the slightest. It's shows the mentality of that vile thing more than anything doesn't she have a young child herself? So she thinks referring to somebody as a sick child killer is 'funny' she's a vile cretin.

Like what? You need to be specific or your words mean nothing.
