Locked Out	There is certainly a frightening trend here, but it's nothing new. The braying mob snatched Caesar's body and burned it in the Forum. The braying mob smashed the windows of Jewish shops on Krystalnacht. The braying mob burned a paediatrician's house down. What do all the braying mobs have in common? A misplaced sense of their own righteousness and an unwillingness on the part of the media to condemn their actions as wholly unacceptable. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the whole of society is venal {although almost daily I seem to become more inclined toward misanthropy}. But I would say that a large proportion of it is - and always has been - sick. Stupid people whose lives are touched by neither grace nor inspiration have always behaved like this. We should condemn them as much as we condemn the criminal. Braying mobs never achieve anything other than the instant thrill of smashing something. I write this on the day that hysterical Americans {and quite a few Brits} are wishing in the most unChristian way that a sick and dying man should remain in jail until his agonising demise. And on the day after learning of a website where supposedly civilised people are invited to detail the ways in which they would like to torture the killers of Baby P. They are, apparently, queueing up to make their sadistic suggestions. No charity, no thought, just vengeance, cold, cruel and remorseless. And the official response to the witchhunts, the vendettas and the vigilantes? None. Explicitly complacent and positively complicit in the barbarity by the implication of its thundering silence. The print media is even worse, actively encouraging the violence and promoting an atmosphere of hate against those who do the wrongs which so titillate their readership. Are we, as a society, sick? Make your own mind up. I certainly have.
Innocent Accused	Unfortuantely I made the mistake of reading the local cafe's copy of the Sun whilst waiting my breakfast. Front page headline about Mummy P,few new pics,and of course a dollop of nonsense gossip about her sexual antics,oh and not forgetting how they'd interviewed prisoners' visitors to find out all about the violence they were going to meet out to her. This paper is nothing short of stirring up trouble,and we as taxpayers will have to foot the bill for extra security etc. I really do feel that the gutter press will get worse here,and will plummet to ever greater depths of depravity.

Yet the meejah ("it's a good story") and Justice and most Politicos appear to go along with the barmy minority. Is Society totally out of step with Society? We really do need to start from scratch. 'There's no such thing as society' Frightening though it may sound I'm tempted to agree with Maggie more and more on this one.There appears to be a whole load of weirdos who certainly do not fit into my idea of reality.

BR	By releasing the names we now have to pay £1 million for special accom in the jails for these three. In addition the bill for change of name etc after coming out of prison could reach £10 million. What good came out of revealing these people ? nothing. They are now going to cost all of us many millions of pounds which could have been spent on extra social workers. This is medieval style justice - why not go the whole way and hand them over to a crowd of self righteous New Labour Chavs to rip them apart in front of a paying audience live on Channel 4. Our society STINKS. Poor BABY P got no justice in life and now no justice in death. These three people were educationally subnormal - they had been abused themselves. They were just carrying on doing what they had known when they were little. They needed support from the AUTHORITIES not the lack of interest that was shown. Supposedly their house stank of urine and was a tip - how could that happen if it was being visited by Social Workers ? Surely the child should have been removed immediately in that situation ? We treat our children and old people like throwaway possessions in the UK. The POLICE are more interested in taking DNA from kids rather than protecting them.
