Think this whole thing was a PR stunt anyway. Starting to backfire now. She’s on £82K, she can work from home and has been offered £35k to provide cover.

Who’d want to take an actual baby into Parliament anyway? The place is purpose-built to be too small.

Babies shouldn’t be brought into any workplace - it might be sleeping now, but generally babies wake up and when they do, have one method of communicating their immediate needs.

And where does it end? two year olds running about? I would like to see the Speaker bring order to a gaggle of tots.

I think this is a PR stunt gone badly wrong, and is your garden variety example of how Labour are out of step with public opinion.

This smells of bullshit to me.

We’ve got loads of multi-racial relationships and children in our family. People speculate on what their kids are going to look like, and in a multi-racial context, people will speculate on skin tone.

I suspect the reason our heir to the throne is trying to deflect from this is because Harry and Meghan have managed to make the subject toxic and that Charles is unaware you can do this conversation without racism.

I don’t know if anyone has been following this story, but to be honest I can’t remember a more heartbreaking and upsetting case.

There is no punishment that can be given out that can make up for this.

I read some of this today - I cried

How the fuck can some one do that to a poor little mite

The audio clips and pictures are harrowing

The “hang ‘em and flog ‘em” brigade solution isn’t the solution by any stretch of the imagination in a supposed enlightened society - something more lasting maybe. No idea what that could be tbh

That thing they do in Foundation
Mask 'em & sensory deprivation
Forced nutrients to keep them alive

Oh.
Wait.
I may have found a better cruel & inhumane punishment

Locked in for life…

Sentencing today after being fould guilty - 6 hours is all it took. Jury have been pardoned from ever having to serve on another jury for life.

My son is the same age, and I cannot understand how someone could do this to a child.

Just a horrendous case.

To quote HHGTTG…death’s too good for them.
In a humane society there isn’t a suitable punishment otherwise you become the same as the offenders.
The ultimate dilemma. :unamused:

I picked up on this a couple of days ago and when i read about what that poor little fella went through and saw the video clips of him alone, frightened, hungry and unloved, i cried too. It’s stayed with me as well - can’t stop thinking about the poor little guy and how he must have felt. Now feeling a mixture of utter sadness and a willingness to dish out extreme violence to the utter cunts that were supposed to be his parents. They need to get life and never be let out. They’re a waste of oxygen anyway and no amount of “good behaviour” shite should see them released.

21 yrs for him and 29 yrs for her

Over the lags to sort them out

I don’t think that how it works for shoe scrapings like them. They’re kept in isolation with other shoe scrapings who are equally dregs of humanity. :rage:

The lags will find a way - as will the screws - joint effort.

We live in hopes.

The BBC reporter told how the jury had sat through multiple audio clips and videos, worse than the ones shown on the news, and then after the trial evidence had finished and the accused were taken out of court, they asked the judge to allow a minute’s silence for Arthur. The judge agreed.

The BBC guy said he had never heard of a jury doing this before but it was the most harrowing case he had ever reported on.

Just vile.

Just what were the mitigating factors that prevented them being sent to prison for the rest of their days. I don’t get it.

I’m struggling to read anything about the case without it bringing me to tears - every time.

Those utter cunts, and the utter cowardice of the stepmum not facing the court. Should have tdragged her up by her fucking hair.

The only positive things about horrific stories like these is the display of common human decency expressed by those left behind. It is pit of the stomach stuff that haunts us all in our quieter moments.

Everyone remembers being a kid. Most of us were lucky enough to be surrounded by people who looked after us and looked out for us.

This is the complete opposite and it’s heartbreaking.
