The question has been replaced by a statement. "Has the world gone mad?" treads amongst the extraneous. Regard the photograph of female prisoners in HMP Holloway at the "Monsters Ball" and I defy you not to feel the same. There was certainly life in the lifers' wing that day. If only the same could be said for their diabolically persecuted son. A Halloween party for murderers. Think of a party and thoughts turn to celebration, love and reward. How cruelly Baby P was denied of all these. Unquestioning and shameless are the authorities whose twisted thought process equates fancy dress and cake with these embodiments of gratuitous and merciless violence. If Dostoevsky had lived now, his epoch capturing work would have been re titled "Crime and Understanding". Inalienable human rights without any responsibility. How is it allowed to happen? Who thinks "let's throw these nice people a pagan themed bash"? And why are they still in a job? A life without consequence. A life term without punishment.
The world has gone mad.
