I never once apologised for rape.

I am criticising the daily mail choosing to report on it in a totally inaccurate manner, in order to cause tension. I never passed judgement on the sentence or the crime.

“Part of the problem” and I just don’t buy into bigotry.

Show quote history

He was found guilty of raping a child. What bit of this are you not understanding?

How is it bigotry? Where did I mention the race of the man? I’d be saying exactly the same thing if it was a white man?

Funnily enough, the BBC article doesn’t state that the judge said that at all! It just states he was sentenced.

Sounds as though the judge has used the sentencing guidelines (as he has to) and the daily mail have latched onto it to cause tensions.

Is it? Or did he follow the sentencing guidelines and the daily mail has twisted it?

DM et al have a vested interest in causing unrest.

Yes, why not have a look?

The judge is a cunt.

Cunts are miraculous, warm, wonderful things. I don’t see how this applies to the judge?

Seriously- you are part of the problem. BBC any better for you;

I’d be interested to know what’s actually happened, rather than the daily mail version.

It’s a direct quote from the judge - also reported in the guardian.

I’m not sure what your media snobbery adds to the conversation?

Unbelievable. There are “race riots” on the way and this sort of stuff just feeds into it. I’m honestly lost for words.
