Meanwhile the police did next to nothing and the social workers seemed to think it was a "lifestyle choice" of the girls!

Yes indeed. I guess the girls called it right. The police would not protect them 24/7. The gang would get to them. If you read about the case on wiki, it says, Senior began to find evidence around 2001 of what appeared to be a localised-grooming network. Most Risky Business clients had...

In the drama last night it was an older white schoolboy who invited the first girl to his house after school and that was where it began. Then the taxis collecting them from school penned them in to the abuse. So, what I'm saying is that schools are aware that they have a duty to be vigilant for...

On a different tack schools are very aware of the need for safeguarding now but it can be very tricky when you see a girl, for example, dressing and acting in, what can tactfully be described as a "trashy" way. Define the problem and try to enlist parents. How do you tell her mum who dresses or...

BBC 1 at 9pm, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday this week. Each episode focuses on one of the three girls so if you watch them all you may see what parental supervision occurred (and therefore debate how much, "Where were the parents?" Is valid). FWIW as a parent and a teacher of kids this age I...

My real problem with the referendum was not being given any clue what Leave would mean. I think I was genuinely open to an argument for leaving the EU, based on a "this is what a Leave vote would mean." In other words I wanted to know answers to questions like, will we be in the single market...

So many girls like these, neglected, given attention when they act trashy, treated like shit, used and abused. We are all guilty when we perceive young girls as slags etc. There are no child sex workers they are all victims of poverty, neglect and abuse. It goes without saying it happens to...

please watch this BBC1 at 9pm every night. I want to smash something. I feel sick to the stomach how poor, white girls were treated like trash. Lads, look after your daughters, and everyone else's. And your boys. Don't let bastards like this ever get away with this outrage.

You may as well say adults who act like kids and end it there. I don't mean the odd moment. God, we can all be silly now and again. I mean adults who dress like kids, eat kids sweets and drink sugary pop all the time, speak like an episode of TOWIE, have an attention span of a constipated gnat...

Good to hear you're battling through, Torch. Front row seat for all the politics, sport and daytime TV. On second thoughts delete all the above and stick on some DVDs and music you like. All the best.

We have now sunk so low that we have found a level in which a 35 year old St. Michael of Doyle might genuinely be a decent signing. This is so depressing.

Bandwagon joiners. Currently it is people who trot out any line you know has been in the media endlessly for days. ATM it is politics ... we need a strong and stable leader, we need to save the NHS, we need to control our borders, Taxbombshell blah, blah, blah. Now I don't mind the phrases if...

Torch, we're all sending you happy thoughts. May all your new cells have the skill of Hutch, the leadership skills of Kilcline, can tackle any pesky bad cells like Peake and become the greatest thing of beauty since Houchen's diving header.

Things are so polarised and shouty at the moment I don't know how lots of people selected their second pick. No problem for me I just write my own name at the bottom, draw a box and put a tiny cross in there.

Problem is now, you do realise the real kit will be such a bloody let down. Goes with the territory for Cov fans

L, K, N, G are all smashing chaps! NOSM

Not unhappy with that but can we please, please, please add TWO goalscorers to the squad. We need a 20, a 15 and a 10 goal contributor to have any chance of a successful season. George Thomas could be one of them, if he stays, but we need TWO good uns.

Yes, you are right. The whole thing was and continues to be a Tory balls up. The remain side was an utter disgrace, led by arrogant Tories and half hearted Labourites (who should have voted against having a referendum and voted against triggering article 50) The whole thing has been a tragedy...

Ooh, can we have those 2 promotions first please before I have to decide? I promise to reconsider my stance on SISU in 2 years in return for 2 promotions on the bounce, OK?
