My difficulty with this
Is we have a baby beaten to death at one end and someone getting a very large pay off at the other Where is Baby P's compensation, where is his life, it no longer seems to matter????????????? I cannot think that anyone should be making money out of this it show me we are very sick society This award is grossly offensive to some of us The person involved if they had decency should have resigned anyway in my opinion |

If the person involved just wanted to clear her name

Disliking all blacks because one's sister gets mugged by one once upon a time seems imminently logical.

That has nothing to do with you reading my post on the 28th.
Being selective again are you? |

Disliking all blacks because one's sister gets mugged by one once upon a time seems imminently logical. FWIW - I think you meant illogical.  I have a black mate, a half pakistani mate and a chinese mate. In the 70s I lived with a Sikh girl. Her dad was selectively racist, he didn't like me, but didn't mind her brother being married to a white girl. |

Try looking up the word irony then perhaps you'll find the sentence makes sense.

That's not selective racism or any kind of racism, that's just him not liking you. |

I have a black mate, a half pakistani mate and a chinese mate. Good to see you backtrack by using that old chestnut, "some of my best friends..." Maybe there's some hope for you yet. |

Although the media blamed Haringey social workers and Shoesmith for failing to intervene to protect Peter, subsequent inquiries showed that Metropolitan police officers and Great Ormond Street hospital doctors had all made serious errors.
Should we sack the police and the doctors too and pay hundreds of thousands training up replacements? Should Ed Balls resign for his incompetence in jumping on the media bandwagon? Should Haringey councillors resign for spending £196,000 in trying to cover up their part in the incompetent sacking? Is it probable that she was made a media and political scapegoat, in the blame culture that pervades those on their moral high horses in the UK media, and the righteous social media mobs that ensue, all of whom we are laughably to assume, never make any errors themselves? She fought back and she won. A wrong was righted. Two wrongs, or as it turns out, one more of several wrongs, don't make a right. |

The first 2, yes, depending on the severity of their "serious errors". As for the third, most definitely. |

Maybe there's some hope for you yet There is no backtrack, troll. And it doesn't say 'best friends'- has masturbating made you blind? It says mates. There's a difference between friends and mates. I have only one best mate, we have been mates for over 45 years. He's white, born in West Ham, sounds as cockney as me, but his dad was Irish. Once again, troll This has nothing to do with you failing to respond to my post on the 28th. You seem to keep missing the chance. |

By:
Ok, so they're not "bestest mates" but they're mates none the less?
You brought up the fact that you aspire to be a rational human being not me. |
|
By:
And you missed responding to my 28th August post - again.
Are you seething that you can't fault it? Because I know that you read it. |
|
By:
Why should I seethe?
The moment you display that you dislike a person solely based on the colour of their skin, then how can I consider you rational? Why would I waste my time going through such an extensive post from somebody who has already indicated that they are not rational? |

By:
seething ^^^

By:
Seething that you're still seething about an entire race because your sister happened to get mugged by a couple of blacks?
  Lets hope she's at least recovered from the physical injuries if not the mental ones. |

By:
Wesdag 06 Sep 14 02:06 Why should I seethe? Simple, you told lies and I responded. You read that 28/08 post but are facked for an answer. Seethe away, lying troll. |
