Good riddance. Vile human being.

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/12120477/The-only-promise-Cecil-Parkinson-ever-kept-never-to-see-his-daughter.html

 

Parkinson, Sara insists, had tried to persuade her to abort her baby, but she refused. Shortly after her birth, Flora developed serious health problems and Parkinson applied for and won a court injunction that was almost unprecedented in British law.

 

It forbade anyone, including Sara, from speaking of Flora publicly or doing almost anything that could lead to her identity being revealed. It prevented even Flora talking of her life.

 

So far-reaching were its powers that Flora's schools have had to go to extreme lengths to conceal her identity - thus she has never been photographed alongside her classmates or been allowed to take part in any school activity.

 

It has meant, too, that her health problems have never been fully revealed. Though a lively, outgoing young woman, her surgery has left her with serious social and learning difficulties. The price that Flora has paid has been high.

 

She said: "I feel I have been ignored until now and I hate that. It has not been fair."

 

Sara herself has battled, in vain, to have the court order lifted - even though she has guarded Flora's privacy fiercely - even appealing to the European Court of Human Rights.

 

She believes that it has been kept in place to protect Parkinson rather than her daughter, describing it as an "abomination" and "the sort of thing you could imagine happening only in Stalinist Russia".

 

She has battled, too, to win adequate maintenance. When, after yet another court application for more money, Parkinson suggested that Flora should be institutionalised, her anger boiled over.

If I wanted to see what he'd written, I wouldn't have put him on my ignore list. Also, leaving aside the pathetic nappy comment, I fail to see what my reaction to Tony Benn's death has got to do with anything.

 

If you didn't care about what he's written,why have you just replied to it?
