Baby P and the fascist thugs in the blogosphere

By John Hirst

Baby P and the fascist thugs in the blogosphere

I don't think there can be many people who were not shocked upon hearing about the horrific case of Baby P.

Over at Comment Central there is a well written and balanced piece by Theodore Dalrymple "We can't be surprised by the death of Baby P - A lethal mixture of bureaucracy, blame culture and fear of violence blinds us to the horror that is staring us in the face".

By complete contrast the misnamed Dizzy Thinks has not thought this through. When I read this comment "Death is too good for them, they deserve pain instead. They do not deserve human rights because they're not human, they're sub-human", I am reminded of Hitler's so-called justification for sending 6 million Jews into the gas chambers.

Similarly, we have the twice convicted drink driver and former BNP activist in Hull, Paul Staines, advocating vigilantism. It is just by luck that Staines did not crash into a pram killing a 17 month old baby in it. Had that been the case would he still advocate vigilantes hanging him?
