In my new book (priced £15.99) I also have plenty of evidence* that it was actually Jim Smith of Southend.
*speculation, made up BS and non peer-reviewed scientific "facts"
I prefer the Viz explanation that it was actually Blakey from On the Buses, who's rage at Butler and Stan the Conductor caused a tear in the space/time continuum that allowed him to travel back to 1880s London.
I also find it amusing that the Daily Mail, that supporter of free movement of Eastern Europeans, is happy to run a story that pins the blame on a Polish immigrant. Who'd have thunk it?

I've always said someone like Aaron Kosminski, but not for the reasons as the chap selling the book. DNA on a shawl that may or may not have been at the scene of Catherine Eddowes murder? I've read every theory going even the cr@p that was Patricia Cornwell with Walter Sickert, and Stephen Knight with the Royals. I've said all along, it would have been someone who knew the area, who lived in the area and was a little bit er nutty to say the least. Solved? Maybe, but I'm not sure I want a definitive answer now I think its one of those mysteries that works best unsolved.

See THIS is how book marketing can still work.
But tbf to Poles, Kosminski was not Polish as such, but a Polish Jew, so it's another thing the Jews can be blamed for.
I do think though the book unfairly denies a much better claim for Rippership, namely that of a true native-born Pole, George Chapman. I think he dunnit, and he was actually called Seweryn Klosowski.

Ahh, but "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing"
