I agree with most of what Julie says, but I'm not at all convinced by

The police are not scared of being called racist

I think that is an undeniable factor. Funnily enough, they don't seem to be at all bothered about misogyny; see the most receent example with their treatment of one of their own, Victoria Tomkins.

The Winston Marshall podcast interview mentioned above clarifies that, I paraphrase; the police don't care about being called racist, they care about the potential for race riots, about the inconvient possible effects of thoroughly investigating the abuse of these girls, because they don't much care about them either.

Here's the post on Nitter for those without TwiX accounts:

For me, Julie and Jane are coming from two different places,

Julie is a journalist - she has investigated some fucking horrors and she cannot forget what she has seen and heard.

Jane is an academic - whilst she has examined concepts, she hasn't been at the coalface as Julie has; and whilst sometimes distance can lend perspective, it can also just end in distance.

On balance, I tend to Julie's take on matters.

Yes, I am here too.

I will say that I am not sure that JB has totally understood the nature of left wing racism, which is not only about trying to protect their other ideas but I believe is a thing in itself. But maybe it was just outside the scope of her comment.

Show quote history

Having family ties to more than one disfavoured group, I sometimes think a lot about left wing racism.

But Julie has good priorities and good motives, and I believe she's honest about what she sees. That's enough for me, even if I think there are some things she doesn't completely see.

Seems entirely fair to me. I don't always agree with Julie, but I appreciate that she calls things as she sees them.

I can't be doing with JCJ and her passive-aggressive "I'm not actually comparing you to Hitler, but..." flapdoodle.

Entirely fair.

If anyone is unsure what the issue are, Julie has just recorded an excellent podcast with Winston Marshall. Its worth an hour of anyones time.

Wow, no punches pulled there, well said JB, it's the hypocrisy with the moral cowardice that pisses me off the most as well.

Julie is spot on. JCJ lost the plot some time ago.

I wasn't sure but a couple of days ago she reshared a post about Musk, Sacks and Thiel that was categorically wrong - and batshit.
