Earlier in the week I posted a thread "Has The Welfare System Created A Monster"?
This was based on a Daily Mail report, and yesterday George Osborne made similar comments and was slated by labour for doing so, was this fair?
George Osborne was not in anyway taking the opportunity of using this tragic case to get over a political point, neither were the Daily Mail or myself.
Mick Phillpott was a 'infamous celebrity' way before he resorted to murdering his children, due mostly to the generous state handouts he enjoyed, and are not most responsible for the celebrity status that he so lavishly enjoyed?
This was encouraged by the media especially television, with the Jeremy Kyle Show, Breakfast TV, and that Ann Widdecombe documentary, some members of the public seemed to get some sort of disturbing enjoyment out of watching these shows, as do some who 'rubber neck' accidents.
Why is this with some people?
