I don’t know how so many of you keep up to speed on all this stuff.

I also don’t know why the government don’t just respond to critics by ostentatiously pointing at this bill. Or are they just masochists?

They have. Repeatedly. Your media sources just choose not to report it.

People Malc trusts on the issue of violence against women and girls: sex offender Donald Trump, groomer and trafficker Andrew Tate, misogynist Nigel Farage.

People Malc doesn’t trust: Two women who have dedicated their lives to protecting girls from violence.

I agree
Other than winter fuel and inheritance on property which have been handled badly and are probably bad bills they’ve a lot to be talking about

I fear it won’t matter as unless migration can be brought under control reform will sweep all before them

What an unexpected coincidence that an article from January 2020 describes a contagious virus from Wuhan. Hope it doesn’t turn into anything big!

It’s how im feeling mate. Like a few in this thread I imagine I know and have worked with abused kids and seeing them used as a political football and people who have dedicated their lives to protecting them slandered while we listen to actual groomers instead it boils my blood.

I have managed services involved in child protection and safeguarding. I don’t see this as a political football, unfortunately politicians have a nasty habit of doing so, causing collateral damage to good people who have tried to do their best and then don’t like it when the focus is turned back on the politicians.

For avoidance of doubt, that’s politicians of all persuasions,

Tbh, with many of the opinions you have expressed, I have often wondered whether you have any humanity.

Other than to a very narrow range of people.

Yep by linking an investigation into its support
Starmer will get all the blame when it’s a classic filibuster

Not all older people are millionaires. You just like lumping everyone together from the vulnerable aged to Elton John. His hits don’t seem to keep coming anymore though.

When all us old gits have no assets, we won’t be able to fund our social care. That will put some pressure on local authority budgets.
You like Hanlons Razor. I like the law of unintended consequences.

He’s not sad and desperate.

Sad and desperate is a grown man spending every waking hour of every day from dawn until the early hours, huddled over a keyboard trying very hard to sound clever for likes on a football forum.

Full disclosure. I found a reference in the Mail. These days, whenever that happens, I try to triangulate by checking sources which might be less objectionable to the majority on this forum. That article popped up on the BBC. I simoly didn’t take enough care when reading it to spot the date.

Mea Culpa

I am trying to broaden my media sources. Perhaps not terribly successfully but with luck I will get there in the end.

All of a sudden there does seem to be more coverage of the bill.

But he’d only think I’m trying to sound clever (I’m not if anything the opposite) if he thought my posts seemed like they were clever, otherwise why mention it. It’s a dead giveaway.

This is sick BTW. This girl is a grooming gang survivor. Andrew Tate is threatening to sue her because she said that he was a Muslim grooming gang member criticising Muslim grooming gangs.


These people just keep telling on themselves.

She admits those claims were false. Are libel laws and Sanctions limited In their application to only certain sectors of society? If so, why? Not very egalitarian.

I’m assuming your use of sick is in the sense a boomer would understand.

Not that it is really, really good.
