Taking away support can only be achieved by demonising recipients as scroungers in mansions

What does it say about modern Britain when the pre-meditated massacre of six children is described as "an accident waiting to happen" on national television? In the early hours of last Friday, someone poured petrol through the letterbox of the Philpott

this is completely sickening.

6 dead children. 54 months of waiting and dreaming and hoping and imagining. what colour eyes, hair like mum or dads, first words-steps-day of school-job-dance at the wedding. all that potential gone in a horrible way and this shithole of a person says they brought it on themselves. they were murdered, they are victims and she is going to hell.

i'd like to tie her to a chair and make her watch a video of what happens in a house on fire, show her pictures of what fire and smoke make out of vibrant people and treasured things. introduce her to some burn victims.

and then i'd love to leave her tied in that chair, tell her she brought it on herself, leave the door open just a bit, and start a controlled fire in the next room. turn the heat up where she is and let her hear the pop and crackle of the fire, and smell the smoke. and when she cries and begs for rescue, i'd untie her and walk her into the next room and tell her that not even someone like her deserves to die like that. and i would hope she had nightmares for the rest of her life. but that's only evil wishful thinking, because theres really no other way someone so horrible could realize exactly how wrong they are
