I'm getting fed up of people constantly blaming the state for society's woes. This might sound like a big push for the Big Society, but it is time for people to take some fucking responsibility.

The horrible case of this girl being starved to death is 100% the fault of those who were supposed to be caring for her, i.e. her parents. They are disgraceful people who should be locked up for the rest of their lives, without doubt, and that's the end of the pandering to the softy softy moral high ground.

We are so lucky in this country to have a welfare system, which picks up the majority of people when they fall down, whether it be the jobless, ill, poverty stricken, etc. We can't use that as a scapegoat when society gets lazy, pathetic and dependent on the state.
