What a disgusting post. You are actually calling those horrified by 10 & 11 year olds being raped "right wing"..

She’s doing nothing of the sort. Is your comprehension seriously this poor?

Billydavey · 03/01/2025 15:39

Chainzreaction · 03/01/2025 15:32

No but the oppositions job is to pile pressure on the government in power!!

Blame the people who didn’t act! Not the people who called time and time again for them to act but couldn’t actually enact anything as they weren’t in fucking power!

you must be on a wind up. No one is this dense

No middle ground Sooty . You are either for or against the raping & drugging of tweets .
How is that rubbish? There is no grey area.

That's twice just on this thread you've referred to the raping & drugging of tweets.

Can you explain why you persist in using that phrase please?

Surely we refer to the victims/girls/children involved as victims or girls or children. We don't refer to them as tweets.

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 03/01/2025 15:39

Elon Musk doesn't give a damn about that issue. Just consider the dodgy nature of some of his website, which he refuses to tackle. He's just trying to to support the ultra right to shake things up.

Frankly, I think that politics in the UK has fuck all to do with him-the UK is not America. He should get on with making his motors a great deal safer than they have been, or attending to the strong messages coming from his industry that he has totally fucked up Twitter-which he has.Leader of the year he is not, and I think a lot of the noise around him is self publicity, which of course he's great at. Yes he has money, but so what, as far as we are concerned.

this is the level of Tommy Robinson:

these 24 men were found guilty of rape and grooming offences. It was a long process of getting to trial, and the trials were held in series due to the number of accused.

the reporting ban was to stop the earlier trials predjudicing the later ones.

our tommeh, in his bid to expose “cover ups” of grooming gangs decided the reporting ban was part of the cover up and was the legal system hiding the crimes.

so he took it upon himself to stand outside the court and “report” on the first trial, risking the whole process.

he very nearly caused a mistrial, which would have meant all 24 of the below walking free.

now tell me he’s not a stupid idiot.

"Ultra right" ? Are you saying only the "ultra right " are against child rape?

There has been an inquiry but the findings & proposals haven't been implemented.
The tories themselves are asking for the inquiry to reopen.
How many behind the scenes knew what was involved & didn't act with the information they had.

Thats illogical, you need to have a look at your ability to reason?

Implement the findings, stop pissing about, if you truly cared, this is what you'd be calling for... not yet more talk and inaction.

Setting the inquiry could take months, let alone waiting for its findings.

Now now, this sort of sensible factual post has no place on this thread! It's all about blind outrage don't you know?

I meant tweens.

So raping and drugging teenagers and children under the age of 10 is OK? It's only wrong if it's tweens?

I would suggest being much more careful in your phraseology.

We've already had a fucking enquiry FFS.
It concluded in 2022
The Tory Government did not do anything about the recommendations.

Where was musk 3 years ago when the Tory's did nothing about the recommendations in it?

Well he seems to have been monumentally shit at it for the last 13 years, so I think your trust is misplaced.

Why don't you think the Tories will jump on anything they can attack with? There have been enquiries and the government is supporting ongoing local investigations.
What do you think is Elon Musks agender?

If only we had a way of hearing from Elon himself

SAshworthHayes: I think people underappreciate the extent to which the British diaspora still feels connected to Britain, and that it actively pains many to see their homeland fail.

Why is this thread a living embodiment of the "Republicans POUNCE!" meme? Is it so hard to believe that people like Rupert Lowe etc are actually genuinely concerned about what's happening?

itsgettingweird · 03/01/2025 15:45

Now now - don't come on here and actually post links to facts. That isn't in the spirit of blind outrage based on some twit on the internet 😉

SallyWD · 03/01/2025 15:47

The majority of grooming gangs are white - but the ones that get the most attention are the Asian grooming gangs. I'm sure all of us are equally repulsed by grooming gangs. You don't feel more strongly than the rest of us, OP. Don't try and claim that you do.
I just hope you're also writing letters to your MP about the white grooming gangs. I hope that you, Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins etc. are as equally disgusted by white grooming gangs. Because all I hear from these people is complete silence when white people commit crimes against children. Not surprising I suppose when several of Tommy's mates from the EDL have been convicted of child sexual offences.

Well the youngest children reported in the grooming gang scandal that I am referring to has been 10 & eleven , tweens. Has there been younger that haven't been reported? Can you link please. Thank you.
