Philpotts, Social Services and Welfare

The horror that is Mick and Mairead Philpott was a disaster waiting to happen. A disaster funded by the UK taxpayer and in many ways created by the UK taxpayer.

The UK taxpayer and the welfare system that is funded by tax money, didn't set the fire that killed six of Mick Philpott's children but it did give him the financial incentive to consider this as a way to improve his financial lot.

All of the so far published information, indicates that the principle motive for the 'manslaughter' of the six children was so that the Philpotts could get extra welfare payments and a bigger, state-provided house.

Think about that.  Welfare payments are so lucrative as to bring about the end and very existence of six children.

Just as the Labour Party is out castigating the Conservatives for  the anemic cuts that are being put in place, the 'poster boy' for welfare is found guilty of six counts of manslaughter. 

For the unaware, Mick Phillpot fathered 17 children with 5 different women.  He supported none of these - he required the state to support them.  Support them by paying him money and housing him and his brood.  And then, because he lost an income stream, when his live-in lover (living in at the same time and place as his legal wife!) moved out and took five little cash cows away with her, he plotted a way to frame her and get a bigger house plus the kids back and he might just have succeeded, had he not been over-enthusiastic or inept.

The socialists and Labour Party are keeping a low profile, this morning.  They can hardly be screaming about the benefits of welfare when their poster child puts on such a horrific display, can they?  This is a man who, while seemingly fit, has chosen as his work, the fathering of children to be funded by the state.

But look further.  The socialists and their 'fellow control freak travelers' always look to extend the boundaries of social work and social workers.  These social workers are seen as the guardians of the flame of social justice and 'nannydom' in the local community.  They have unfettered access to courts which are held in secret and at which they employ state-funded lawyers (a nice earner for the legal 'profession' now that the Conservatives don't seem so keen on Public Enquiries) to harass people.

How then, you might ask, did they miss out on Mick and Mairead Philpott?  This is a man that had sex with an underage girl - indeed actually lived with her.  This is a man who was sentenced to seven years in prison for the attempted murder of a former girlfriend.  This is a man who fathered child after child after child with no means to support or house them, whatsoever.  This is a man who boasted, on national TV about his deviant sex life (presuming you accept that living with two women and having sex with them on alternate nights is deviant).  All of this was known of him but the 'Left's' beloved Social Services did nothing.  In my view they consider none of his behaviour to be strange or a warning sign.

No, just like with Baby P and Victoria Climbie, they passed by and did nothing.

One outcome of this case must surely be a nationwide review of exactly what purpose the Social Services, actually serve.  If it doesn't happen, then don't be surprised at more Philpotts.  After all, how many Philpott-type people are out there who did what he did but were a little more successful and didn't kill their children?
