Ok this is an english thing so if you’re not english you might not have heard of this. Basically a year or so ago, this thug, a friend of his, and the mother, beat up, tortured, abused, and eventually killed, little baby p (as she’s being called). Something like 18 months old.

The tragedy in this is worse than the murder, because it has terrible effects from what did not happen. The doctor examining the baby two days before she died failed to notice the broken ribs and broken back. Yes I imagine that’s tough for a doctor, finding things like that.

What really grates me, and I imagine many out there, is that this family were visited 38 times by social workers and no warning bells were rung, nothing noticed, nothing done. Let me just say that again, 38 times. 38 bloody times.

To say we have thugs like this is shameful enough. To realise our nation is worse than many nations we criticize, that we have backtracked from progress made over decades is just pitiful. Perhaps instead of spending money on wars we should spend money on our own services, infrastructure, job training, opportunities etc.,
