Lots of reasons
It's a highly charged and emotive story that involves mothers and sick children needing care
CMD is involved
Mumsnet 'speaks' rather a lot for politically active (or at least aware) middle england - it's certainly a forum very popular with people willing to speak their mind
Sadly it's also a story affecting in some form or other many people.

Right, but "Katy Perry's eyes" has easily had as much interest, so surely that is a matter that the British public find just as emotive if we're looking at this logically? It's a highly charged and emotive story that involves mothers and sick children needing care

PHs was on the news after all the Hammond gushing. We even had one of our PHers being interviewed about the campaign.
I think Stuart himself was on the telly talking about cars or cycling shirts or something.
That allegedly dodgy politician PHer was also on the news a few years ago relating to his postings on here.

I'm bewildered. Why is it the council's responsibility to provide help? She has a family and friends, that's what they're there for, surely?
Turn the question on it;s head. Why should social services not help a family who need support for looking after someone whose needs outstrip those of their primary care providers (namely parents) Also, why should family and friends be obliged to help?

Alex O'Dwyer, from the disabled charity Scope, said: "Some local authorities are facing up to 28% cuts and we know that disabled people and their families are proportionately much more reliant upon social care and those services.
"We're also concerned because there is some money that's been put aside that David Cameron talks about for respite care, but that hasn't been ring-fenced so councils can actually choose to spend that money elsewhere.
"Fundamentally I think they don't actually understand the reality of the lives of some families with disabled children."
I think DC understands full well all about the lives of families with disabled children!
