The Philpotts

The disgusting actions of two parents, Mick and Mairead Philpott, which resulted in the deaths of their 6 children.

Also just as disgusting, the headline of The Daily Mail.

Firstly, I agree with Owen Jones (it seems to be happening more and more!!!), don't blame the entire class, there have been many cases of rich men/ women taking the lives of their family and their own, in fact, I've probably read more cases of rich men/ women doing so.

Although it's obvious it wasn't the Philpotts plan for their children to die, it was their plan to frame someone else for the fire, and they are still trying to blame someone else!

But The Daily Mail is blaming an entire class. This isn't fair. Mick Philpott is a known abuser of the system, and is also a known violent, and controlling man.

So instead of The Daily Mail mourning the awful, and tragic death of these children, they point out the class in which these children were living in, not that class has anything to do with their death's, and how he had never worked a day in his life.

I feel for the six children that lost their lives, and I can't imagine how they would feel, had they survived, if they had found out their parents put them in such a dangerous position.

Let them rest in peace, and give them some dignity in death, that their own mother and father took away from them.
