First, the Haringey council claimed it was not their fault, as correct procedures had been followed. So let me correct the esteemed council and tell them that procedures are not the right thing; procedure are a means to doing the right thing.
Second, Mr. Brown claimed that he felt sickened by the event and that he immediately set an inquiry, so people can feel safe about their children when looked after. Mr. Brown, again you are missing the point. Nobody feels safer because you have launched an inquiry. Besides, if you want to take action why don’t you make us feel safer by fighting crime, violence, and drunken behaviour. There is too much of it, and nothing is done about it. As sickening as this case is, it’s a reflection of what’s happening to society. So, Mr. Brown, don’t deal with this case, deal with its cause.
Third, some time ago I raised the question if there were cases where people should not be allowed to have children. It led to a heated debate -- many found the question a taboo. Some even compared me to the Nazis. So let me ask again, should Baby P’s mother be allowed to have more babies?
