A spelling mistake by a police force had ‘profound consequences’ and was a 'missed opportunity' in trying to prevent the murder of a woman suffering domestic abuse, an investigation found today. The IPCC released a report into mistakes by Northumbria Police after the murder of Sarah Gosling, 41, who was stabbed to death by her partner Ian Hope, 53, at their home in Newcastle in February. The force was aware of Hope’s history of domestic violence but a misspelling of his address 13 years earlier on a police log proved disastrous when they were called to the house, the report said.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
