Election Year or Fear!

TTR, you?re entitled to opinions on folk but ?two faced scumbag? is out of order. Tone it down please and if that sounds a bit old school in a world full of Fs and Cs, I am. Thanks

Besides, I'm not sure he's a scumbag....

Fair do’s Andy, though the crime and deception she oozes dictated my choice of words.

I cant stand the way she projects herself as a champion of womens rights and goes on the media saying so.
So failed those girls, rejected that inquiry and then has the cheek to sit there saying she backs a national inquiry and is on their side


It smacks of job protection and self image projection to the public.
These werent even women, they were children.
For all her bluster, she should have the loudest sticking up for their suffering

Indeed, but it was probably Starmer’s fault…or yours! I may be wrong but I think Sarah Champion resigned from the shadow cabinet eight years ago, not ‘last year’.

Unfortunately RA, the nuance of Casey's report is again lost by right wing bigots focussing on race as a factor purely to push their anti immigrant/foreigner agenda.

The bile spewed by our dim red friend, who obviously just repeats verbatim what's spewed out of the right wing media is not what is required here.

As you rightly say, anybody associated with the last 14 years of Troy government can STFU, they had ample time to act. As for the others, they have no care for the victims, just to make political capital from something to further their agenda.

As I posted a while back and as Casey states in her report, the principle issue here is the way the victims were viewed by the authorities as being complicit themselves, there is an example where one very young victim was actually charged for prostitution FFS!

Thats not to dismiss that there is a racial element, but the main reason it was allowed is the view from social workers, police and other authorities that did not value the victims as people worthy of attention, they were and in many cases still are the unfortunates ignored by society as a whole unless as in this case there is political capital to be made from them.

Labour commissioned Casey's report and have acted on it, the acid test of course will be what action has been taken within the next 6 - 12 months. But for people to be slagging off the government for firstly commissioning a report to establish the facts and to act on its recommendations (one of which incidentally was that the proposed local enquiries would not be robust enough to uncover all the salient facts) is frankly bizarre.

But then as is well known, its the empty vessels that make the most noise, usually about things they haven't a clue about other than what they have read or heard about.

Pity you seem to be at odds with the POTUS on this one.

Pleased you told him to ‘tone it down’ though. The forum has certainly become a less pleasant place since his return and although I doubt Jess Phillips could care less what the likes of TTR ‘think’…he does have a habit of spouting garbage as if it is ‘gospel’.

empty vessels...make the most noise

which is an ironically accurate comment from this forum's vessel who makes the joint most noise in terms of word count

Its a bit out of fashion to rebuke people for swearing but I'd have called him out on it there and then, wouldn't that have made good TV!

Not actually true. Sure we all have our opinions and biases, even make mistakes, but we don’t all regularly try to pass off bigoted nonsense as fact.
