Baby Peter's death was on Ed Balls watch, was he too busy trying to spend his

expenses with 'Miss' Cooper? What else was he doing apart from overseeing the Child Protection Plan in the UK?

Or is he just cr*p in his 'job'?
SPD....Are you sure? There does not appear to be any of these so called Secretary's or Ministers that have any idea what their department is all about??? Only after the event do we get the drivelling sound of 'lessons will be learned' and they NEVER ARE!
Tigerlily, Thanks for that resume of the ladder of responsibility, and I think you agree, that it stops at the top!

Same problem with Alan Johnson and the farce at the dodgy hospital a few months back!

There are a whole host of people responsible, obviously, three main SB,TC,OB, then the 15 year old who witnessed it all and did nothing, the social workers, Sharon Shoesmith, the doctor at St Ann's, the police who knew and did nothing, the neighbours who must have known, Peters pikey grandmother and finally Ed himself. They need a prison sentence.

I don't think you can blame baby P's death on Ed Balls. You go too far.

Well in that case Gordon Brown is to blame because he's Ed Ball's boss - or maybe we're all to blame because we Labour in....You have to draw the line somewhere. Many people were involved in this and ultimately it's the Social Services who saw the bruising and failed to act who are to blame.
