Life continues on the estate, but Shannon won't be going back


Last week Edinburgh Art College held its Christmas drinks. The only entrance requirement was that everyone who comes should produce a piece of original artwork on the back of the invitation. Here's mine. It's a pastel drawing from a photograph that appeared in the Times featuring the Shannon Matthews case. Shannon was kidnapped earlier this year, and was later found being held by a relative. During the trial it became clear that Shannon's mother had arranged the kidnapping in order to sell her story to the newspapers.
