Any of these things is the feeling of being loved and of loving in return. That is something that will always be with me. And regardless of me losing her under these circumstances at such a young age, i have always felt so privileged compared to so many others, who have never had that experience of being loved and of loving in return. How did your father explain your mothers death to you . The fact that i was there, i already understood it all in my mind. There wasnt much for my father to say. But even so, when he came to collect me at the hospital, as he held me in his arms, he said, your mother is gone and shes never coming back. But we are going to continue on together. One of the most intense moments, when you went to the common, supposedly privately, with your father, and by this stage the press were after you. Yes, all the reporters that were on the other side of the fence realised who we were. So they all came jumping over the fence. My father had to cover my face with a baseball cap. We had to run off as we were jostled from both sides and the detectives tried to stop them from coming and when we reached the spot, he put me on the ground and we left the rose on the spot. And for several minutes i stood watching my father as he was crying, filled with tears. Meanwhile, my eyes were dry and i was just standing there and stood observing him. Why do you think the press were so desperate to get you . The archetype of a young child with his mother and him being there while his mother was attacked and witnessing all of that, i think there were so many elements that people identified themselves with. Everyone was moved by the story. So the story blew up so much that. The press is a business, we like to think the press as some kind of news service. But the press is a private run business with their own agenda. That would serve them as well as selling newspapers. So then your father, out of the blue, gets a call to say that they have another suspect . Yes. Robert napper. You and me would think it is hard enough to get away with one serious crime yet this person got away with over 100 attacks on over 80 women before he was finally apprehended. Had they been more efficient before, your mother would not be dead and i wonder what you feel about the polices behaviour . What i feel about the police is everyone is going to make mistakes. That is an accepted fact, that is just nature. But when you have a system where people arent obliged to be accountable to take responsibility for their actions, that is when you create dark corridors and you attract a certain person to that position, which is more prone to incompetence, more prone to corruption. Because now what we have is the principal of because the police are well intentioned, they shouldnt be held accountable. In the book you have made it clear that you forgive robert napper. Yes. Once you have been through a difficult situation, it makes no sense to keep feeling pain, feeling discomfort every time you think about that event. So without condoning that persons actions, that persons behaviour, you forgive that person for yourself so you can let go of that negative baggage that you accumulate on yourjourney through life. It doesnt serve you in any way. Do you think she would think you had turned out well . I know that she knows that i have turned out well. Alex hanscombe, thank you very much indeed. It wouldnt be a general Election Campaign without a few dodgy media stunts. Reporters dressed as chickens pursuing Party Leaders, distinguished correspondents Playing Cards and eating curry with the electorate. We do things rather differently here on newsnight, with our blackboards and uplifting graphs. Tonight, we unveil our latest reithian feature, which basically involves sending an old Double Decker Bus to parts of the country that never see a real battlebus, or indeed much of the campaign at all. Whats worse, the unfortunate souls of these under covered seats, who are normally spared politics, also had to put up with stephen smith. Theme from on the buses they said theres an election on. Go out and bring us back a complete breakdown. And thats just what we did with a 1966 routemaster double decker. Shes already got more than 2 million miles on the clock. Were rolling this baby into some of the safest or most overlooked seats in the country. Ones that rarely get a visit from the Party Leaders in their charabancs. Its a special feature were calling battle busted. Were bringing the newsnight bus to the rolling constituency of montgomeryshire in mid wales. It is one of the most rural and isolated parts of the country. It used to be a safe liberal stronghold but the conservatives have held it since 2010, and theyre expected to retain it. Its the only seat in wales that labour has never won. Hello, there. Im on a creaking old vehicle that were using to explore the general Election Campaign. But enough about the programme, what do you think of my bus . Any more fares . Screeching 0h whos driving this thing . Driver, can i have a word . Hello lembit fancy seeing you here nice to see you. I was about to tick you off for rocking the old crate around, but now that its you, who better to show me around this fabulous part of the world . Have you got a minute . Oh, yes. These streets can tell a few stories. Come on. Lets have a chat. When he was a lib dem mp here, lembit opik lived in the fast lane. Dating a weather girl and then a pop star. He was seldom out of the limelight, but perhaps he attracted too many headlines for the locals, because he lost in 2010. Tell us a bit about it, for people who have not been lucky enough to see this lovely green part of the earth. It is a huge constituency, about 70 miles by 70 miles. Very few people here, more sheep than people, as you have probably seen. And do you think that your former constituents will be excited to see our bus with its associations, i suppose inevitably, with the metropolis down here . Some constituents will look at it and hope that this means theres finally a Robust Service from llanidloes up to caersws. We have a bit of time, we could take a few. You will need a lot of time and you could probably take the whole village. But in the majority, they are a wily local population. They will look at this london bus and just assume you are very, very lost. We asked people in the Market Town Of Newtown whether they suffered a democratic deficit. Overlooked by the politicians. Well, we dont see an awful lot, that is very true around here. Yes, you feel a little bit left out of things. There isnt much election fever here on the face of it and we wondered if people felt they missed out . Im not sure whether people are feeling they are missing out. I think people may be feeling that in the middle of wales, that they are being ignored. Do you regret that they dont tend to come and see you here in this constituency . Yes. We are in the backwaters here. Im interested in politics, i have been watching television and all that sort of stuff and i never would expect them to come and see me anyway. It was time to get back on the bus and resume a job very much fit for a grown man. Lembit was right. This is a big old patch. I once spent an entire Election Campaign in a Motorway Service station for this programme. But this time, my billet was out in the fresh air of montgomeryshire. People here vote as they have done for generations. Putting their cross on the back of a sheep. Not really. These are Young Farmers learning to judge livestock. Dear mrjudge. I place the suffolk ewes in the following order. Y, b, x, a. Before they arejudged, in turn, by their elders. There is no lack of appreciation for good Speech Making here. As soon as i am 18 i have got the chance to vote and i should have my tick in the box to see. You dont get much buzz around here. No, thats why were here. We have got our newsnight Double Decker Bus. Have any of you noticed it . We did notice the bus, yeah. Good effort on our behalf . Not a bad effort, good show. If you heard that theresa may Orjeremy Corbyn was coming to town tomorrow, would you turn out to hear them . I wouldnt turn out to hear them, maybe get a selfie with them or something. But thats about it. Join us again when we bring all the fun of the campaign to parts of the country that the election doesnt reach. Thats all we have time for, have a good weekend. Goodnight. Good evening. A lot going on with the weather at the moment. Cena bit of sunshine through the day on friday, but also quite a few showers dotted around.
