I find it abhorrent that people on here cannot see this and are using this tragedy to support their pro welfare benefits agenda without pointing to the truth, that the benefits system funded this pigs lifestyle and was a crucial part of the reason he got away with his behaviour for so many years and was part of the reason 6 innocent children died

I agree his lifestyle was unacceptable but it doesn't change the fact that these children died but for me the fact remains that he killed these children and that Is the crux of the story. Focusing on his lifestyle takes away from the fact that these children lost their chance to live and it saddens me that people are talking more about the fact that he was claiming benefits than the fact that the children died.

As I said previously I couldn't care less that he was on benefits it makes no odds to me, there have been plenty of professional business people who have committed infanticide and I feel as much loathing towards them. Any parent who can take the life of a child that they created deserves to be treated with equal contempt in my eyes regardless of financial circumstances.

We have enough debate on the welfare state happening, can we not mourn the fact that these children lost their right to grow up?
