Unfortunately it doesn't matter. We live in a society where opinion has become more important than fact and these people, these evil [expletive deleted]s, only need to claim stuff like this and it'll be believed.

The thing is, because of the right, facts no longer hold water. The lie is out there, and we are screaming into a void. 'A lie will travel the world before the truth can get its boots on' or some such. Because of this, girls are in danger even more.

I have to have hope. Yes, there will always be people who want to believe the lie, but we still have to keep telling the truth, and repeating it over and over. Truth may have only just got it's boots on, but they're arse-kicking boots that will stomp all over the lies!

Because they have to be.

Rape Gang UK vile, sadistic...White skin...crims

Brings to mind Stewart Lee’s observation:

“You can prove anything with facts.”

Got to keep putting the truth out there. It has an unerring habit of insisting upon itself.

williamgeddes.bsky.social•172 days ago

...and to describe the issue as "so called" implies you doubt it exists.

Oldham, Rotherham, Blackburn, Rochdale, Burnley, Leicester, Bradford and so on - any idea what all these councils with abuse of young people by gangs have in common?

Peston might have mentioned this on ITN yesterday; he might have stated that the claim regarding Jess Phillips was monstrous. But he chose not to.

KS needs to own the narrative and news cycle or the propaganda machine will engulf the UK from X, YouTube, tik tok, Russia, US, Israel and china etc.... The US is now inviting German and UK far right wannabe politicians to Mar Largo and possibly grooming them as puppets.... Interesting times

Tbh no one should need to prove/justify themselves because of the ignorant rants from stirrers. They should concentrate on their own countries rather than others. They are diverting from caring for their own countries.

You are one of our heroes. Never think you are anything else.

martinohagan.bsky.social•174 days ago

It's a complicated issue, indeed.

Using this rhetoric for political gain while the victims in such cases are completely ignored...

Such class among the elite, huh?

stevehookham.bsky.social•175 days ago

I wish you could cross post this on to X without actually being in X. The absolute bilge that’s being directed towards @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social around the report’s findings, was the final straw for me. Outright hate speech of every flavour, going completely unchallenged by X.

Or read the evidence I gave to Parliament in 2012 alongside him

This is all because of the implementation of children online act due which could fine him 10% of his annual revenue.

reverenddick.glasto.me•174 days ago

Which act is that?

Or alternately it’s because he was good at his job and passionate about getting justice for the victims. Not everything has to be measured against the standards of the worst common denominator.
