The death of one is a tragedy...

I have had it with all these people and groups obsessing over 'Baby P'. Because I'm an evil, sick bastard? No, actually quite the opposite. One baby gets beaten up and killed and the country is in uproar. The politicians are using his death to further their agendas, the online pro-censorship groups are doing the same and there are f*ck knows how many facebook groups dedicated to this one 'little angel'. Before you ask me what the Hell I'm on and call for me to be locked up in a straight-jacket somewhere, I'd like to make my point:

Millions of children younger than 'Baby P' die every day all over the world in much worse conditions. So he was tortured and beaten to death, yeah that's awful enough alright. I'm not going to pretend that his death isn't a tragedy because it obviously is. But why don't you start a facebook group or petition expressing solidarity for the millions of babies who spend months or years in agonising pain slowly shitting themselves to death, when all that is needed to save them is a glass of salt and sugar water? What about all those kids in war-torn countries who can't even get food because it's too dangerous for aid agencies?

Surely the government, who are 'sickened' by the tragic death of one little Aryan baby, would go to any length to prevent the deaths of these millions? Well, no actually. Instead of giving aid to the sick and starving children of the world they decide to spend it fuelling the failed bureaucracy that caused baby P's death in the first place, and to throw it aimlessly at the dole-dossing underclass of this country who waste their lives watching Jeremy Kyle and acting morally superior to everyone else on every subject about which they know nothing. Instead of sending troops to protect aid workers in unsafe territories, they keep them on patrol around middle-eastern countries that do not even admire their presence. And the opposition is no better. Some smug tw*t with more money than sense isn't going to help these children.

Children in Need can kiss my ass. Children in the UK are living in poverty? Compared to whom? You try telling a sick child in Africa that the money needed to buy him basic ORT solution and a packet of rice for a week was spent on some poverty-stricken British kid who only had one pair of trainers and a Playstation one. My heart bleeds for them. Really.

I've had enough of stupid people and their hypocrisy...
