Yes I am shocked all over again by this, so little reporting in UK media. This is as bad as the Epstein scandal which was at least (I think) widely reported in the US though continues to be hushed up by mainstream media here to the continuing shame of this country. It became a scandal largely because the information from overseas ensured it came to public attention.
It's the same story...once the complicity of members of the British establishment in a scandal becomes apparent, and once said establishment has a vested interest in avoiding public outrage perceived as a threat to them due their connivance and corruption being obvious, they fight tooth and nail to keep the whole thing quiet as much as possible for as long as possible. Why else is the BBC barely reporting this?
And again it is girls and women whose lives are ruined. I get that it is hard to learn that your country is guilty of a massive crime against humanity, up there with the historic crimes people here read about and pride themselves that Britain historically fought against. You would think that on this site of all places the report would be up front and centre and people on here would be bristling with outrage at the suffering of women & girls and the abject failure of their country to defend them.... wouldn't you? But apparently you'd be wrong as there are just a few commentators; after all these girls and women are largely poor and vulnerable with little support around them - so who cares about them right? Including most people on here it seems.
Although it is shameful that the British aren't doing it, I hope that overseas commentators continue to shout about this scandal so that it becomes impossible to ignore and that report is seen by as many people as possible. Although it is shameful that they are having to do it, I hope that as many victims as feel able to continue to continue to shout about the injustice and pain they have suffered. Although it is shaming to learn how abjectly this country has failed to protect women and girls on a mass scale, I hope this report is seen by as many as possible despite the deliberate barriers placed in the way, so that public horror grows until it no more becomes an option to hush it up.
