Good grief

It beggars belief that a man was able to father eighteen children as a consequence of non-consensual incestuous relationships with his two daughters. It is a damning indictment of numerous statutory organisations and their staff that they had concerns but did nothing.

I cannot help but feel that political correctness had a part to play in this sad saga. Robust action would have saved these two girls from a life of fear, violence and sexual abuse.

Failing social services, hospitals that are killing fields, you get my drift. Intervention is too late - always. There is much hand-wringing, passing the buck and so forth but we know that more examples of gross incompetence by statutory organisations will come to light.

I wish the public would demonstrate its anger with a passion to match those who opposed the Iraq War or showed their contempt for MPs who regarded taxpayers as fair game to line their pockets.
