Fritzl Watch: Neighbours Incest, Princess Beatrice And Space Nazis
FRITZL Watch: Anorak’s look at Josef Fritzl, Elisabeth Fritzl, Nazis and assorted Frtizls in the news. With special guest star, Princess Beatrice…
A NEW TV soap storyline involving incest between an aunt and a nephew has been branded “sick” and “opportunistic” by a leading family group. The latest Neighbours plot features Nicola West (Imogen Bailey) and nephew Riley Parker (Sweeney Young) in a secret intimate relationship.
Turns out you can live too close to your family.
It comes after the world was sickened by news that Austrian father Josef Fritzl had imprisoned and raped his daughter for nearly a quarter of a century.
The Australian Family Association has accused producers of using the recent news events to try to attract viewers.
The Australian Family Association has been accused of using recent stories to further its own cause.
GLASGOW DAILY HERALD: “Being a chip off the old block isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - ask Beatrice”
It’s Kaye Adams: Princess Beatrice inherited her mums “great pear-shaped butt of hers? What a bummer!”
Says Kaye: “At first glance there seems nothing positive to be taken from the horrific tale of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian who kept his daughter and three children by her incarcerated in a cellar.”
Well, there’s the Teutonic engineering, the family planning, the…
But this man, who might be regarded as the embodiment of evil, appears, at least, to have failed to pass on his twisted soul to his daughter Elizabeth.
She cared for their children as any mother should, tried to make life ‘normal’, told them stories, tried to educate and amuse them and protect them from a living hell.
Whether or not you can cast off a fat ass isn’t worthy of discussion - that you can make good out of evil is a comfort to us all.

He didn’t exist. It was a myth. I was furious when I found out.

In “the Traditional Tales of the Lowlands”, John Nicholson tells the story of Sawney Bean.
Bean was a highwayman who lived during the reign of King Jacob I of Scotland. Usually Bean’s story is told as a legend but since there are so many written sources with the same details, we can assume it’s a true story.
Born in the last years of the 14th Century, Bean grew up in East Lothian, a village 10 miles from Edinburgh. As a youth he did the same job as his father—digging ditches—but he soon found working far too exhausting. He found a wife who shared his “wicked mind” and together they moved into a cave in Galloway, very close to the sea. They lived in that cave for the next 25 years and hardly came in the nearby villages.
Sawney Bean and his wife had many children and by means of incest the family became a gang of 46 people; being:
8 sons
6 daughters
18 grandsons
14 granddaughters
They robbed and killed travelers. The bodies of their victims were eaten and the remains were dried and salted, and kept in the cave as an insurance against days of famine. There is little doubt that Bean did not eat human flesh because he liked it but just because it was free; he killed for economic reasons only.
None of the victims lived to tell about the Bean Family, but the growing amount of missing people was noticed by the people in the nearby villages. The Bean Family also became more reckless: they came to a point where they had too much meat to stock, so they got rid of “unwanted” arms and legs by throwing them into the sea. When these remains were found by horrified villagers, the locals started to calculate the exact amount of missing travelers in the area.
The Beans never attacked groups of more than 6 people as a large group was too hard to ambush. The victims were killed on the spot and boned for their meat. The money found on the victims was probably used to buy bread and vegetables as a man can’t live on nothing but human meat for 25 years …
At last the authorities realised that there was a group of robbers in the area. They used their favorite investigation tactics: people were executed at random in the hope that the men they were looking for were among those executed … As most of the missing people were travelers, a lot of innkeepers were executed. These random executions were good enough reason for most villagers to leave the area.
The Bean Family was caught by coincidence: They attacked a couple on their way home from a fair. The woman’s throat was cut and some family members started to suck the blood and rip the belly open to remove the entrails. The man had more luck: he kept sitting on his horse and had a good position to defend himself. While he was fighting for his life, another (larger) group of travelers showed up and the Bean Family had to run away. Their male prey rushed to Glasgow to report the crime. So after 25 years the Glasgow authorities finally heard about the murderous family. The King also heard about the attack and decided to take care of the business personally and went on his way with 400 soldiers and a large pack of bloodhounds.
The bloodhounds get all the credit for the capture of Sawney Bean: the soldiers did riot notice the well hidden cave but the dogs could not ignore the strong smell of flesh that surrounded it. The soldiers entered the cave and found a horrible scene: dried parts of human bodies were hanging allover the place and some family members were smoking strips of flesh. The Beans looked at the soldiers in an apathetic way and made no attempt whatsoever to defend their territory. They were all caught alive and brought to Edinburgh in chains where they were incarcerated in the Tollbooth. Finally they were brought to Leith.
The Beans were sentenced quickly without any form of a trial and executed. The people where horrified when they heard about the crimes of Sawney Bean and his family and decided to give them a punishment even more barbaric. The execution was a slow one: the men bled to death after their hands and legs were cut off and the women were burned alive after they were forced to watch the execution of the men. John Nicholson tells us about the execution as follows “…they all died without a sign of remorse and kept cursing … till their last breath.” We can conclude that “law and order” proved once more to surpass the criminals in bloodthirst and barbarism.
