THE articles about the families of James Bulger's killers describe a world of under- resourced primary schools, truanting, rotten personal relationships, video stores, permanent telly and grim shopping malls - all far removed from the comfortable existences of most readers of this newspaper. As these huge gulfs continue to widen and as we continue to be fascinated by the lives of an ever-growing underclass without doing anything about it, we are going to carry on reading about cases like the appalling murder of James Bulger.
