COPS QUIZ SUTCLIFFE AGAIN THE RIPPER TOLD WAS A MONSTER

Judge won’t give me a fair trial because of nickname

WHINGEING Sutcliffe has moaned from his prison cell he would never get fair treatment from “biased” judges because of his chilling nickname.

He claimed the Ripper tag forever associated with him is not a “true description” of what he is really like.

And he laid into amateur detectives who have suggested he is guilty of dozens of unsolved crimes.

From his Frankland cell he said: “There are people just filling people’s heads with rubbish. They are out and out totally biased against me.

“You don’t know who’s reading them, whether judges will take them seriously or see them for what they are.

“You don’t know what the judges are going to do. They tend to be biased, they see that nickname and they associate me with bad things and get a negative viewpoint.

“It’s only people on the inside who see beyond those things.

“That’s why I treasure keeping good friends, because people aren’t so stupid when they put their minds to things. It wasn’t a true description at all.” OUR love affair with cars is stronger than ever. But owning a motor can lead to all kinds of nasty surprises.

Recently there’s been a hike in complaints about modifications – the catch-all term insurance companies use when talking about changes we make to vehicles.

Unfortunately, some insurers can be harsh when it comes to defining what a modification is. So here’s what you need to know.

When you take out insurance, you must answer the insurer’s questions honestly – including those on modifications. Failure to do so is known as non-disclosure and they can reduce a claim significantly or even cancel your policy.

But insurers also have the same obligation to you. They need to ask clear questions about your vehicle.

Some mods are thought to make a vehicle more susceptible to damage or theft. For example, those 80s go-faster stripes were associated with drivers who’d take more risks on the road. So that meant there was potentially a higher chance of a claim – and would result in a higher premium.

Some modifications are obvious. If you’ve got a pimped-up sound system in your car, you’ll need to disclose it. But other things aren’t so clear cut. Even cosmetic changes, like a new paint job and adding a spoiler or a roof rack, can be considered significant enough to disclose.

But your insurer needs to make things clear when it flogs you a policy.

So if your mods miss the mark with your insurer, tell us about it.
