Disturbing similarities between the treatment meted out to #Arthur by his father and stepmother, and the way Maria Colwell was treated by her mother and stepfather. Maria was killed by her stepfather in January 1973. mandyparrytraining.co.uk/spotlight-on-m… Image
Like #Arthur, Maria had a troubled family history and was known to social services. The report into Maria's death found widespread social and institutional failures - notably, communication failure between the various institutions involved. Image
Already, in #Arthur's case, there is disturbing evidence of communication failure between the institutions involved. Nearly half a century since Maria died - has anything really changed?
The sentences handed out to those who kill the children in their care are longer now - William Kepple (convicted of manslaughter, not murder) only got 4 years. But the institutional failures that mean these children slip under the radar don't ever seem to be addressed.
There will be another report, and it will say the same things as the reports into the deaths of Daniel Pelka, Peter Connolly, Victoria Climbie, Maria Colwell...

It is fine for Rod Liddle to write a column in a newspaper read by adults. It is not fine to invite Rod Liddle to speak to children in a school, any more than it is fine to show an 18-rated movie to children in a school. I would have thought this distinction was obvious.
There is a second issue too, which is the fact that children in school have no power to decide whether or not they wish to listen to a speaker invited by the head. They are forced to attend, unlike university students who are free to walk out.
For both these reasons, therefore, I think it would be highly irresponsible of a head teacher to invite Rod Liddle - a man who has publicly expressed not only racist views, but also paedophilic inclinations - to speak to children.

Does anyone believe this "drove 260 miles with covid" story? Because I don't. Here's what I think happened. 1/
Dom and his wife had arranged some time before to visit his parents. They decided to go ahead with the visit despite the lockdown. When Dom was seen furtively leaving no.10 in a hurry and then disappeared for two weeks, he was off to Durham. 2/
At some point, while they were in Durham, he and his wife developed symptoms of covid. 3/

on @SkyNews now. Dr. Cathy Gardner says the Government's big mistake was the discharge guidance issued on 19th March which said that patients must be discharged as fast as possible. She is totally correct and the Government should admit it.
As I said earlier.
And Johnson's latest attempt to blame clinicians for discharging people to care homes without testing, when Government guidance specifically told them negative tests were not required, is utterly despicable.

If you think lifting the lockdown would prevent the worst economic depression since the 1930s, you are deluding yourself.
Not all countries locked down. But every country, without exception, is suffering a sharp fall in GDP. The whole world is in recession.
And because the whole world is in recession, GDP growth in individual countries will be insensitive to domestic policy actions. The more open the country the more insensitive it will be. "No man is an island," and all that.

I know I said this yesterday, but... In 1847,at the height of the Irish Famine, there were crop failures across Europe. European countries banned grain exports. The UK Govt, which had just repealed its Corn Laws, couldn't buy grain to support the Irish... 1/
To those who observe that Ireland actually exported grain to Britain during the famine, I would answer - yes, except in 1847 when it was a net importer. 2/
Anyway, the UK Govt bought American hominy grits as food relief for the Irish. But hominy grits are indigestible unless you know how to cook them. The Irish didn't. So they continued to starve.

I've now read this paper by a "professor of risk management" at the University of Bristol. Some thoughts.
He assumes that recession, if sufficiently deep and prolonged, necessarily means reduced life expectancy. He uses as his evidence recent ONS statistics showing declining life expectancy growth since 2010, flatlining since 2014, and now falling LE at birth for the poorest women.
But the consensus view among those who have studied this phenomenon, notably the estimable Sir Michael Marmot, is that it is not the 2008-9 recession that caused LE growth to slow, but the measures subsequently enacted to reduce the public deficit.
