Comments on: Baby P http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2008/11/14/6183 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'. Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:47:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Catherine Conaghan http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2008/11/14/6183/comment-page-1#comment-9821 Catherine Conaghan Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:02:43 +0000 http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2008/11/14/6183#comment-9821 I feel that the tragic case of Baby P as he is known highlights the terrible depths of inhumanity to which modern day society has fallen. Political correctness is the order of the day. The so-called rights of the individual are paramount resulting in untold misery throughout the land. What about the innocent child? Who was looking out for him. No-one, by all accounts, not his mother or low-life companions, social workers, doctors, police or the government. All had other fish to fry! This should have been as clear as crystal to anyone with any kind of brain (and was highlighted by several professionals) but instead turns out to have been a complete fiasco of incompetence so profound as to be nearly unbelievable. Sack the whole lot of them ah but no they would only get a huge payout as their punishment!

The failings are there for all to see and a variety of people clearly did not do their jobs, however lets try just for once to avoid all the same old tripe that is trotted out on occasions like this about it will never happen again. Managers, Police and Politicians should be ACCOUNTABLE to the people who put them where they are. Penalties for this type of crime are woefully inadequate and the great and good in our society starting at the top (yes that's you Mr Brown) must get their ducks in a row and sort it out. Without being accused of being too draconian lets introduce a system where the penalties for getting it wrong resulting in the death of children means a jail term for the manager/politician ultimately responsible. I have never felt so strongley about anything in my life as this avoidable child's death and I am sure that I am not on my own. Politicians ignore the voters at their peril, in the name of humanity sort this out you uncaring set of bastards.
