Staggering ignorance by a bunch of vandals:
A paediatrician at a south Wales hospital has been forced out of her home by vandals who thought her job title meant the same as “paedophile”.South African-born Yvette Cloete woke up at her home in Newport to find the term “paedo” spray painted all over her walls.
The specialist registrar at the Royal Gwent Hospital is now in hiding at a friend’s house and claims she will never go back to her own, saying: “I have moved out of the area. I no longer feel safe.”

How could anyone be that stupid?
staggering yes, but from the year 2000. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4719364.stm
Not 2000, 2006. I thought it sounded a bit familiar. Still completely over the top, though.

Maybe they need an analyst. On second thought . . . never mind.
