   Until recently, the British establishment believed that children could consent to sex. In 2001, our national broadcaster referred to the deceased pregnant 16-year-old Lucy Lowe as having been the “girlfriend” of 26-year-old Azhar Ali Mehmood. She was in fact his victim — targeted and groomed from the age of 12. The BBC reported at the time that the taxi driver and schoolgirl “had a stormy relationship and argued frequently.” Mehmood was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Lucy, her sister Sarah Lowe, 17, and her mother 49-year-old Eileen Linda Lowe in a house fire.

   It should go without saying that Mehmood is not only a killer, he is a paedophile. Lucy was just 14 when she gave birth to their daughter Tasnim. Thankfully, the infant survived the fire started by her father and has become an outspoken critic of the judiciary’s approach to child sexual abuse.

   Police officers criminalised the “problem” girls, who were dubbed “child prostitutes” and deemed to be asking for it. Meanwhile, the choices of adult men were left largely unexamined. The professionals who should have protected girls like Lucy buried their responsibility under flabby postmodern concepts ripped straight from academia. It was easier for social workers to look away, to support girls’ agency and their right to engage in “risky behaviours” with multiple grown men. Perhaps this is because choosing to see what was in front of their eyes would’ve not only been politically inconvenient, Finally, the truth about the scale of exploitation is dawning on the chatterati. Over the past few days, and a few decades too late, a memo has been sent round the dinner party circuit to explain it’s no longer considered racist or impolite to talk about the mass rape of girls by men of Pakistani origin. Even Owen Jones now agrees that it’s “not racist to talk about those scandals”.

   Trump's latest ploy for attention is 3rd on Google #news, behind a rocket strike on Golan Heights & the CA Park fire.

   It didn't take off this AM and will probably fizzle out today.

   Would rather see him - not - be able to wag the media as he has done for 9 years. There is plenty of material to elevate his negatives, and plenty of $ now to do it.

   Will be sentenced for felony fraud in September. And Google for the name Brian Sicknick - think that's on the way and will stick to Trump. - RG

   Yay! I've made it really far in Elden Ring! I already cleared my way to the DLC. Now I'm contemplating whether I should face Malenia first before setting the world on fire.

   It's been surprisingly fun just running through the areas and cherry picking my fights. 😅

   The ICRC has said that two trucks were damaged and a driver was wounded as it tried to deliver "lifesaving medical supplies to health facilities," incl the Al-Quds hospital, when it was "hit by fire" in Gaza.

   The humanitarian organisation was not able to immediately identify the source of the fire.

   It added that it changed its route after the incident, to ensure it was able to successfully deliver medical supplies to the Al-Shifa hospital.
