That's fucking stupid

The BBC has a long tradition of seeking out idiots for their dumbed down yoof radio news and then parading them around as examples of the sort if malformed opinion that their listeners should aspire to. My favourite in recent weeks has been the lady who said that “most people don’t understand percentages but I do because I work in a band” after explaining that something which had previously cost £100 would cost £2.50 less after the reduction in VAT (for the correct answer and an explantaion just twitter “@fuckingstupid I am a fucktard with no concept of math” and I will be happy to help).

This morning on the BBC’s yoof dumbed down news for retards who don’t care about news but are having it forced down their throats by our public service broadcaster, Radio 1 Newsbeat, they seemed to have found a person who either cannot read or has actually chosen to ignore the Daily Mail.

The news item was a breathless revalation that Karen Matthews may not have been a model parent and that Children’s Services (that’s Social Services to you and me) had visited the family of mongs on a few occasions in the past.

Of course this is not actual news because it would take an enormous leap of faith of biblical scale to think that Karen Matthews was a soccer mom gone wrong rather than a nasty spiteful little cow who has made a living by pissing in the gene pool; in order to sex it up a little and make it more newsworthy the editorial idea was to focus on how it could be seen as another Baby P style witch hunt to see who in Children’s Services could be blamed for this outrage.

The clever one, however, saw right through this and was quoted in a quaint but dim sounding northern accent saying “everyone’s trying to blame Social Services and the family and the friends but it’s not them to blame it’s Karen”. When you consider that Karen Matthews is most likely a sociopath it’s unlikely that she will ever accept responsibility for her actions but that does not mean we can’t squarely lay the blame at her feet. Children’s Services had their eye on her and they knew that she was one of those mothers to whom children are an inconvenience or a paycheck rather than a blessing and within their powers and mandate they did what they could. There is no way that they could have predicted the bizarre scheme that Karen Matthews hatched and so should be left to get on with their jobs rather than harrangued by inquiries and mass sackings.

What remains now is the question of if  the ’substantial custodial sentence’ will be as substantial as it should be.
