Ms Swift said that when Shipman's crimes came to light it was down to the clumsy way he forged Mrs Grundy's will and not because of any "warning bell" activated by the system.
The extra warning signs and the bell for those stranded to summon help have been erected following the death of Ian Reynolds, 29, of Pontarddulais in May 2005.
When the judges got involved and before they threatened two months in jail for a Facebook post a little bell should have rung in their heads, warning them of the uncharted territory they were entering.
