Baby P: The Musical
January 5th, 2009 at 23:41
Remember a few months ago when everyone was horrified by Baby P? Well it turns out that if you’re not an elitist like Barack Obama or the liberal media, Real People are still giving a damn and Baby P, or “P the Baby”, as he has been dubbed, has almost literally become a poster-boy for misdirected political outrage everywhere. Forget all of the babies dying in Gaza or Darfur or the Congo – the only thing that matters is a baby that happened to die in slightly closer proximity to where you probably live.
Lydia Rivlin, a concerned citizen who has presumably only just given up the search for Maddy is going so-far as to stand in a by-election to Haringey council, to represent a ward she doesn’t live in (she actually lives in Tottenham), on the Baby P ticket. No doubt her campaign will go just as well as the seemingly single-issue campaign of Rudy “9/11″ Giuliani.
Apparently she really wants to get rid of the Labour councillors – so she’s decided to do this by standing in the by-election – apparently a Labour safe-seat – to further dilute the anti-Labour vote. An excellent plan.
My favourite thing though is the stunningly poor-taste campaign song. This is real:
If you like the song, why not become one of Baby P’s 140,000 fans on Facebook.
I can’t believe Baby P has more fans than me.

Was the hypocrisy intentional?
