Upon hearing Thursday’s ruling that GMP (Greater Manchester Police) are to include goths and emos under hate crime protection, Richard Littlejohn wrote a quite awful article about it. In response, Louder Than War’s Alexander Garvey Holbrook has written the following article about it.

They’re trying to convince everyone that a violent abusive man is that way because benefits are so generous. This is completely nonsensical. The Shipman reference isn’t that the NHS did or didn’t do anything about it before he succeeded in his killing spree, it’s that his psychopathology cannot be blamed on the generous benefits he didn’t qualify for, just the fact that he was, y’know, a psychopath. Whereas Philpott WAS a product of the benefits system according to the DM.
Now what about this rumour I heard that Philpott had been in the army? Can we blame the armed forces? NB it is apparently true – sorry I don’t have the figures to hand but the news was fairly recent – that ex-armed forces are over-represented in our prisons, & in psychiatric care.

Funny how many people ‘know’ people who milk the state, cheat and steal and yet never seem to do anything about it. Like report them or something. I suppose (and I’m guessing wildly here) that they don’t actually know anyone who comes into those categories.
But to state that ‘there must be millions more like them’ – like Smogo says they don’t actually leave the house. Nor do they have any idea how big/many a million is, never mind millions in the plural.

I understand the anger that you feel about tabloid journalism, but your response seems to miss out a couple of points.

The Shipman inquiry found the NHS failed adequately to monitor death certificates, drug prescriptions, and the actions of doctors. It is not a good example to choose if you wish to say that nothing can be done to prevent individuals carrying out serious crimes.

Child Tax Credit is £2690 per child per year, compared with the much less significant Child Benefit (£1055 per year for the first child and £697 for each additional child).

There’s a comment under the online article along the lines of, “This is just the tip of the iceberg. There must be millions more like them out there.”

I suspect that commenter never actually leaves his house.

The Mail is full of shit and Littlejohn is full of shit. The entire tabloid press is full of shit and more and more people know they are full of shit.

perfect. The last line is the crux of the matter. As in Liverpool after Hillsborough we need to somehow persuade people to stop actually buying this crap. Sadly I suspect that is a liberal pipe-dream
