The Columnists Do Baby P: Death, Middle Class Evil And Porn
BRUCE ANDERSON (Daily Telegraph)
Join these two paragraphs, make the link…
Being hit on the head makes you think. In the early hours of last Tuesday, strolling through stuccoed Pimlico, I was attacked from behind with a hammer. Fortunately, it was only a glancing blow, ending up on my chin. Otherwise, I would be off journalism for a while…
When that debasement takes extreme forms, everyone does react. The torture and murder of a baby; we all ask ourselves how this could have happened in a civilised country. But it is not enough to put systems in place to avoid further horrors. We need to think hard about the systematic degradation which has become the seed-bed of horror.
SOPHIE HEAWOOD: “The world around Baby P is wrong. Why are we afraid to say so?”
Want to know what scares middle-class leftie, Sophie?
Because when I look around communities, it’s not the hoodie with the aerosol that bothers me, but the nice little prep school on the corner, the one with the patterned curtains and the phalanx of yummy mummies outside. That’s what’s really destroying your neighbourhood.
Curtains are a gateway upholstery.
PETER HITCHENS (Mail on Sunday): “If Baby P had been middle class, he’d have been taken away”
Let us be plain. If one tenth part of the events that took place in Baby P’s mother’s house had happened in a middle-class home, the child would have been snatched away in minutes by haughty social workers.
But Mark Austin says…
This is partly because of the prejudice such people usually harbour against the middle class. It is also because they know that the middle class will co-operate with them, will obey the law, turn up at meetings and hearings, take their authority seriously…
Baby P - a child is dead. Write on…

Angels have always been depicted as blonde, even before the term racism existed, so its more human nature to be touched by a blonde, tortured cherubic boy than it is a nazi thing. Actually it is in our spiritual system, and I know for sure this boy had an old soul and difficult karma, but he shouldn´t have died. that+s why everybody is so shocked, because God didn´t want him to die either, i think this marks the awareness, on a subconscious level, that God is dead, and that with baby P. s death, eternity has died…

Yeah right!
Carly Moan is a seriously frustrated politician - who should never have gone on Big Brother or TV - ever!.

Or brown hair, or brown skin; this is the racism of the of the tabloids, so copiously revealed in the MM case, still going strong.
It’s stomach-turning that they should take a great tragedy and turn it into copy that Joseph Goebbels would thoroughly have approved of…

It is ghoulish and sentimental tosh too, bet 10 mins later she’s off out somewhere not giving him another thought.
But it would be interesting if the poor child had had red or dark hair, would he have been quite so angelic,would his pain have been less or would he have not caused a stir?
