Derby House Fire

No doubt.

The dead are dead; the important ones are the children (& I assume their mothers) who are still alive.

They will need care for years.

Indeed. I have a friend whose wife gave birth to twins. One died. He never did work out if to be happy at the birth or sad at the death.

This father needs to try to pull himself together for the sake of the other children. Not sure how he will manage.

That's not even funny.

As with most things there is probably much more under the surface than we will ever know, no matter what you may think of the guy he doesn't deserve to have one child let alone 6 taken away from him.

I know I hugged my kids just a little bit harder after the story first came out.

FFS, that sounds just so.... FACEBOOK!

Interesting take on the situation. Personally I never associated the situation with my kids.

Mrs BP still gets upset by the baby P thing. He was born about the same time as baby BP.

Well a statement of cold hard fact is you're a massive <rude word>

It just proves there are cold heartless bastards who will even stoop the lowest level possible. Maybe the dad was a scrounger but the kids were innocent.

What they both say. It's not a laughing matter. He's really going to miss that £80.40 per week.

Tasteless. You'll do well in the 'states, if you ever get there.

17 - 6 = 11.

Still got a few spare then.

A little cruel Zeity - the mother (his current relationship) lost all her children.

Dead wood should be gelded.

With that number of children, I doubt his "wood" is dead.

It is horrible, but even as a lefty I think that surely he's got to be held slightly responsible. Im really NOT trying to make excuses for an arsonist though.

I mean having so many kids is a risk in itself , especially all in the same house.. How can you manage and look after so many with just 1 adult around most of the time? 7 unsupervised kids in a house is a risk anyway.

A school teacher has a smaller ratio of kids to teachers when out and about than him.

Am I being insensitive? I hope not, I'm just a bit raging that the guy hasn't taken any responsibility on himself - not excusing the arsonist behind this, but the guy goaded the whole country publically about it - and if there had been 2 or 3 in the house, the results might have been totally different.

I can turn up to get slapped at a given location, if deserved - does anyone share my view?

Not really.
They are two seperate issues and it's an emotional time, so best to keep them totally seperate. This week is a time for thinking about the kids
