Listening to the podcast made my blood boil. The most shocking thing was that the police and the county council haven't had the decency to apologise to Lisa Townsend and others for the way they were treated when they raised concerns. They also seem to have learnt absolutely nothing - there's been no statement of what they intend to do in future to avoid the same thing happening again.

Me too.
Their silence makes me think they are frantically covering up collusion from staff - otherwise you'd be open and transparent with your apologies if you have nothing to hide about child abuse and paedophilia.

Same. I'm having to take long breaks between episodes, not because they're not excellent but because I spend the time in a state of absolute fury while listening.

Just to relink, all the episodes are available here. It is definitely worth listening to but it is absolutely infuriating at the same time.

In just one example of many, the police have so little time that they fined a woman, Shana Grice, who asked for their help and was subsequently murdered by her stalker, for wasting police time yet they have time to escort Stephen Ireland to schools to enable his grooming.

This is the world we live in.

That is heartbreaking and enraging. I hope whoever got Shana fined for wasting police time, with her trivial little fear for her life, was banned from working in that role again. But that is nowhere near enough. The whole culture needs changing.

Brilliant investigation by Julie. Lays it all out in its horrific detail. Thank you Julie.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 20/12/2025 18:30

Julie isn't the only one exposing what's happening. Malcom Clarke (a gay man) has written about Ireland:

A lot more about the Ireland case here:

The GmaleBmaleTmaleQmale+ movement has a paedophile problem. Not one of the perps listed in that article was a woman.

Interestingly it turns out that anyone can set up a Pride. All you need is a bank account and a logo.

Pride is what anyone says it is 🤷‍♀️

His association with Educate and Celebrate going into schools and his discussions and posting with 4 year olds and teens has come up in episode 1.

TBH there is just so much so far when you put it all together 😬

There are 5 episodes.

Oh look, here’s a clip of Stephen Ireland having a nice chat with none other than Jordan Gray about what children know:

So... its fine for men to attend pride in their kink gear in front of kids because at least they aren't fucking right there on the street? I had no idea this was the justification. Bloody Hellfire

Thank you. I hope she covers his easy access to schools and children that the umbrella of Pride gave him and his group of dodgy men?

I’ve just seen this thread and I’m (obviously) absolutely disgusted by this. I used to know him! Hope he rots in prison. Vulgar, vulgar man.

There are a couple of other threads around "Pride" where posters don't think that age appropriate exposure should be a thing.

Its the basics of consent.

Involving a child (or adult ) in ones sex life via exhibitionism is and always should be a taboo.

There was a reason he pushed the women out of the organisations. And I would be like to know the breakout number of whistleblowing reports by sex.

MarieDeGournay · 07/07/2025 23:00

Somebody who is as committed to abusing children as this man is clearly a paedophile, who obviously found pretending to be gay - i.e. only attracted to men - a useful cover.

Regarding Pride - it's been a long long time since it was Lesbian and Gay Pride, or even Gay Pride, it's now just Pride, and is about anything and everything.
It doesn't even claim to be about lesbians and gays any more, and is more about trans and 'queerness' than anything else.

there can be no 'sacred castes', he was a man and like many men he was attracted to children.

Paedophiles can be from any sex/gender/whatever. Adults should be protecting children not forcing their views their views upon them. Too many groups have gained access to children for the purposes of education / supplying resources etc.

The DofE need to clamp down on this, adults rights to explain different sexuality etc does not trump a child’s right to protection and safety. It is far too easy, clearly, for these terrible evil people to access children. Stephen Ireland was hiding behind Pride and behind trans-activism to do terrible things to a twelve year old boy. How many more are doing the same?

Thank heavens the boy was brave enough to tell an adult who believed him and who acted upon it.

Yes it is.

Gay men are not treated as a sacred caste at the moment and no one is saying they should be. Safeguards should be applied to all men equally
