And just where is the outcry from our elected?

Christopher Booker writes once again, in his Sunday Telegraph column, on the 'questionable' actions by Social Services in respect of a mother and her baby. I believe we can discount one commenter's views - unless of course he has some medical qualification relevant to the case?

This article by Booker is but one of a series, over the past months, detailing an almost 'Stalanist' attitude adopted by Social Services and it is not surprising that our 'elected' have appeared to remain mute on the subject - they have, after all, far more important matters with which to turn their attention - such as expenses; inconsequential by-election results; making sure they get 'noticed' at PMQs; obeying their Whips instructions when passing through the voting lobbies, etc etc.

MPs, in general, are indeed a despicable class apart!
