Green Party statement

[Destinysdaughter]

Sorry it’s so tiny, I screenshotted it on my phone from Twitter! It’s a bit mealy mouthed...

I think stuff is disappearing from web searches.

When this first broke on MN, I found quite a lot of info when I just randomly googled. There seems to be a lot less now.

The conviction for animal cruelty seems to be untraceable by Google. I'll take posters words for it.

One might have thought that any pretence at being Green would preclude such behaviour.

Somehow a load of stuff was taken down in the last 48 hours. It's a bit like 1984 - frightening really.

Thanks Toe. It's utterly shocking that the links to the Green Party are not widely available. Something is very, very rotten in the Left and I say that as a lifelong socialist. Thank God for MN .

I can't find any safeguarding policy for the green party at all, has anyone linked to it?

Yes agree, so, so many obvious markers here for anyone who wanted to see them.

annandale why shouldn't someone who experienced a bad or abusive childhood be allowed to inform safeguarding policy? How about when they advocate removing safeguards and demolishing boundaries instead of increaing them? Without the recent and insidious decade plus of the trans activism agenda, this attitude to removing safeguards would have raised red flags everywhere. MNers were spot on when they said this is an abusers charter.

There can be no excuse for this other then wilful ignorance - people, society, have been warned and educated about safegaurding and predatory behaviour and yet they allow the wool to be pulled over their eyes. Anyone seeking public office has to do better than this.

The lack of reporting is a disgrace. I can only hope that it will be a big story in the Sundays. I don't buy papers but I will buy copies of anything that reports this properly.

Is the 'wayback' search engine thing still exist? It used to hold copies of internet stuff that has been taken down or past versions of websites.

For sure it’s no5 on bbc sites

This is big story

For local bbc a t least

Maryz If someone has any type of conviction or is under investigation it should appear on the DBS check - this is the enhanced version for schools and vulnerable people, I'm not sure of basic - and then the organisation should do a risk assessment and decide whether to go ahead. So a shoplifting conviction aged 13 twenty years ago could probably be discarded, whereas any type of violence SHOULD automatically trigger more investigation. It is very much up to the individual organisation - there's no central authority.

In my complaint to the The Guardian I asked if I am correct in assuming The Sun now cares more for the safety and protection of children than The Guardian.

Actually the answer to that is yes- The Sun and The Mail almost certainly do.

The reporters on bbc local,sites really look hard for stories cos it’s part of their jobs

So .......

CertainHalfDesertedStreets, are you really saying that someone can have convictions and still work with children? I know people who have been turned down for volunteer roles here because of motoring convictions (one for failure to pay fines, of all things, the other for a 20 year old drink driving conviction).

I'll take your word for it on the rape conviction matter, because to be quite honest it makes me so angry I want to scream.

Yes. Not just volunteer roles but teaching in a school. A DBS shows your convictions but the list of crimes which would automatically disbar you is very short and rape is not on that list. It would be at the employer's discretion.

Clearly most employers would run a mile but some people are fuckwits as we know...

For sure it’s no5 on bbc sites

Can you post a link LittleBrownDog?

I'm still only finding the red top coverage.

I think you are correct, Lass. The current version of The Guardian is a disgrace.

Found

Given the alleged extent of Challoner's scouting, gymnastics and political work, particularly in relation to removing safeguarding, perhaps a serious case review will be deemed necessary?
'A serious case review (SCR) takes place after a child dies or is seriously injured and abuse or neglect is thought to be involved. It looks at lessons that can help prevent similar incidents from happening in the future'.

Lass I managed to find this earlier from 2014. Please ignore the headline, it's the second paragraph that is pertinent:

Nopes lass I can’t find it on any bbc site that is what I was trying to say

I have a screenshot of the cruelty conviction Lass but it's in my iPad which I don't have with me. Will post it later. It's on a v obscure site though - I didn't find it googling

Amalfi beat me to it!

A cynical person might think that a five day injunction would be very useful in tidying up the internet and rewriting history

The news reports have to protect the child's anonymity - so certain aspects of this case will not have have been reported (anything that could identify her) - but omitting the Green Party connection is incomprehensible. This is in the public interest.

That's the one Pythagonal!
