Ian Huntley has died, and that’s marvellous.

The double child killer was hit on the head in a prison assault and has today passed away after being taken off life support, which is terrific whichever way you slice it.

”Actually, “slice it” was what we recommended for the power cable to his life support machine, just to make extra sure,” confirmed Doctor Simon Williams, in language not typical of a doctor but perfectly reasonable anyway.

“When he was wheeled in, it was all the medical team could do not to have a go at him with hammers ourselves. We’ve shown hitherto unknown levels of restraint and professionalism.

”Admittedly once he passed that all went out the window somewhat, and we’ve been having a dance party in his room.”

Prison guard, Henry Steelbars, commented “Ah, I’ve won the pool.

“We know he’d get done in at some point and I’d be lying if I said that we were unhappy about it, or indeed that we’d done our utmost to keep him not-dead.

“The bloke who killed him is also an absolute monster, by the way, so let’s not make him king or anything. In fact if he accidentally fell down some stairs later today, it would make for an absolutely cracking weekend.”
