Hindsite wasn't needed Ummmmm, that's my point. All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men and women to do nothing. Everybody just stood around and did nothing !
I have no sympathy whatsoever for his stupid wife. She had plenty of opportunities to make her escape, as the equally stupid mistress eventually did. But she lacked the moral fibre and, probably intelligence, to do anything other than allow herself to be impregnated by this horrible man, time after time. She was no more than a baby factory. She deserves all the criticism that has been levelled against her. She played her part in the murder of her own children, and will have to live with the memory of that for the rest of her life.
It might seem that I am going over the top somewhat on this case but it upset more than I can tell. Right from the start, in May 2012 when the news first broke about the fire and the deaths, I was immediately suspicious. The whole affair stunk to high heaven as soon as it became clear that Philpott was involved. I remember the crocodile tears at the press conference only too clearly.
I am not a violent man and I do not support the death penalty returning to Britain. But I would gladly strangle Philpott with my bare hands. Perhaps someone will in prison one day...he deserves nothing less.
