After years of denial the Met Police are now finally reviewing over 9000 cases dating back to 2010 as part of a new grooming gangs investigation.
Even though everyone knew it was a problem in London as well as other UK towns it has taken years to get any official recognition of this. Hopefully this will the the beginning of justice.
I am so heartbroken for all the victims and their families that I cannot be angry right now but that will come.

I admire Allison Bailey for pursuing this case. She could have just found another vet but instead she decided to fight for others.
She knew more than most about how many women were being silenced and forced out of jobs, public spaces, women's services and even like this private services because they were unable to speak out. Well done to her and her legal team and I really hope other businesses take note.

A good X post by @SamBarber1910 and a stonking repost from JKR. -

@HebrideanHecate Yet again with the debate about chemical castration we are seeing so much effort put into releasing violent sex offending men from prison. On the other hand so little thought is put into why women's prisons are full of non violent offenders who pose no threat to others and whose incarceration does more damage to their children than having them on monitored release would do.
I guess it is a numbers/cost game as there are so many sex offending men and relatively few women prisoners but that doesn't make it right. -

@HebrideanHecate Yes the Artic convoy story and the role of the merchant navy is often overlooked but was vital to the war effort during WW2 and other military campaigns.
My cousin was part of the merchant navy support during the Falklands conflict. He was only 18 years old and working as an assistant in the ship's galley. His ship was not hit and instead was one of the ones taking onboard survivors from the navy ships that were torpedoed. At the end of the conflict he was made redundant and sent off with a minimum legal payment and no support for what he had been through. -

Spent some time with my mum today watching the VE march on TV and had a really good chat. Her dad was a soldier and served with the army before WW2. At the start of war he was sent to fight in Europe and was one of the many soldiers trapped at Dunkirk. He was injured during the evacuation from the beach and when he was back in the UK in hospital they discovered he had also got TB. He never recovered and after years of illness died in 1950.
We also talked about how hard the war was for her mum (my Gran). At the start of the war she had 4 children and the youngest, my mum, was only 12 months old. Gran's husband was already serving overseas and after a brief visit home was sent off to fight in Europe. After Grandad got injured and evacuated at Dunkirk he spent years in hospitals and sanitoriums because of his injuries and that while he was in the army he got TB. Midway through the war Gran's eldest son turned 18 and joined the navy. He was on a ship that was hit by a U-boat. He survived and continued to serve throughout the war but he had lasting hearing impairment. My gran kept her family together in Manchester throughout the war despite the bombing and supported her husband and son throughout and afterwards. She raised her younger children and took on as much work as she could to keep them fed and protected.
We talk about war heroes and focus on those who were part of the armed services. We also need to remember the war effort from those at home too. Sadly my gran died when I was only 2 so I never got to know her. All my older relatives talk about her with fondness and also awe. She was clearly a very strong and inspirational woman. She loved fiercely and looked after her family during the toughest of times. She also served her country well and fought as hard as any frontline soldier.
I already knew the stories but it was important for mum to remember it today and for her to think about her dad and her mum. I was glad to share this special time with her. -

An interesting post on X.
I haven't watched Adolescence but it is getting a lot of attention and media comment in the UK so our craven politicians are rushing to praise it and seem to rushing to legislate based on a TV show. 😩
Please let me know what you think if you have seen it. -

FFS! A UK Govt minister who believes in sex self ID and has publicly stated that men rapists should be allowed in women's prisons (thanks Julia Long and Venice Allan for getting that on camera) is now using the England women's football team success in 2022 to bid for the UK to host the 2035 women's world cup. Perhaps she'll have remembered the difference between men and women by then. 🙄

Look out for more on this story tomorrow about a Labour government minister who has been posting vile messages to a Labour WhatsApp group.
Ask any Labour volunteer off record and they will confirm that crap like this happens all the time. They don't report it because they are all brainwashed to think that Labour is the only good political party.
They are wrong. All the parties have both good and bad members and MPs/Councillors. What matters is that you report and get rid of the bad ones. Labour are terrible at that and in my view only the SNP are worse! -

There were many dreadful Holocaust Memorial Day posts on social media but this one stood out for me.
Here is UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner in a carefully staged photoshoot by her tax payer funded personal photographer. She is lighting a candle and looking concerned but she forgets to mention that HMD is actually about remembering the mass murder of more than 6 million Jews in an attempt by the Nazis to eradicate all Jews from Europe. The Nazis killed many more people but the Holocaust was specifically about exterminating Jews.
Rayner likes to call people she disagrees with scum. I call her and everyone who tries to erase Jews from HMD scum. -

No wonder the UK government want to talk about buying knives on Amazon rather than the real problems in Britain.
There is a very worrying report in tomorrow's Telegraph about the number of illegal immigrants living in the UK with estimates of as many as 1 in 12 people in London not having a legal right to live here.
Many in the ruling elite think that a Trump-like change couldn't happen here but they are wrong. People are getting very angry at the years of uncontrolled immigration and the obfuscation and lies about it from all political parties. -

@KeepTakingTheSoma Yes in the UK all parties are corrupt and sadly it seems to be getting worse.
I remember in 1997 when after a very bad political scandal Martin Bell, a respected journalist, gave up his TV job and stood against one of the most infamous sleazy MPs and won a seat in Parliament as a true independent. He was known as the man in the white suit and did his best to highlight corruption. He also stuck to his guns and having made his point stood down at the next election. Sadly the usual system continued and no lasting change happened.
Martin Bell was a BBC journalist and back then that was seen as making him independent and to be fair to him he was. Now things are so bad that a BBC journalist standing to become an MP would be seen as a continuation of the current political system. -

@Sherri_Ingrey @KeepTakingTheSoma @HebrideanHecate It is not only that government run child protection services have been corrupted by wokeness but they also consult and employ idiot NGOs and other so called experts to give advice and provide services. -

The more Labour MPs and supporters try to muzzle Elon Musk the worse it gets for them. Musk is now asking about their funding and many on X are very happily sharing details about Lord Alli and other direct donors, let alone the money from Soros and others that go to progressive think tanks and research groups. There are also Starmer's meetings with Bill Gates, execs from Blackrock and his stated preference for Davos over Westminster in an interview on The News Agents podcast in 2023.
Most voters abhor hypocrisy from their elected representatives and the stench coming from the Labour Party is pretty strong. -

@HebrideanHecate This is from the podcast I shared yesterday and I am glad it is getting reported.
Politicians shy away from this and mutter about the Sharia Courts having no official legal status but it is a scandal that they are allowed. -

Hmm ... it has been reported on GB News that 10 Downing Street have issued a statement saying that they have spoken to grooming gang victim groups and that they do no want a public inquiry.
I wonder who they spoke to as they victim/survivors I follow online mostly seem to want one and are very upset with Starmer's response.
I remember when we were campaigning for law changes on FGM that politicians and the civil service had certain groups that they spoke to who acted as gatekeepers. It was a constant battle for many survivor campaigners to get their voices heard. I worry that is happening in this case too. -

Shockingly but sadly not unbelievably South Yorkshire Police are still trying to gag Rotherham grooming gang survivor Sammy Woodhouse. -

@ninapaley I watched a lot of Triggernometry when they first started and they have changed quite a bit since the early days. I don't watch them much now unless I am particularly interested in what the guest has to say.
My reaction to KK varies wildly. He is strong on some topics and shaky on others. Sometimes I find him interesting, sometimes too contrary and increasingly (especially now he seems intent on increasing his profile in the USA) I find him irritating. He wants to be seen as a serious intellectual but is too often goes for an emotional quick fix and still looks like a needy comic looking for people to like him. Hitting out at feminists and especially a left wing feminist like Julie Bindel is an easy win for the tribe he now wants to be part of.
On Twitter KK has made mistakes in the past and has apologised. I hope that before long he will realise his personal attack on Julie was a mistake and apologise. I hope for this but I am not holding my breath!!!
I didn't watch the interview they did with Brianna Wu but I agree that the fact they did it and put out the awful adverts for it on X is a good reason not to take them too seriously. After their first interview with KJK gave them a big boost they made a lot about having a big female and TERF following. For a while they moved on from fawning over trans identified interviewees and actually interviewed some interesting women. Sadly they seem to have gone backwards on this.
