    Did anyone see the interview with one of his victims on Good Morning Britain this morning? Christ on a bike. The guy said, in a matter-of-fact sort of way that Smyth used to cane him on the arse a couple of hundred lashes once a week or so and he had to wear nappies because of the blood.

      Well, “senior colleagues” told him not resigning was the thing to do. So add cowardice to the list.
