The Tesla chief claimed the Safeguarding Minister should be imprisoned for her handling of the grooming gangs scandal

If you want a greater freedom of expression and speech I suggest a move to China.

 

Starmer is not a positive for either. I am in no doubt that he will shut anything down that he cannot control 

[Mike Hill]

The left's tendency to ban any form of free speech contrary to their own agenda is absolutely typical of their head in the sand policy. 

 

Imagine the white hot outrage if the grooming gangs were whites raping minorities ? There would be no end to the witch hunt.

One MP suggests it, hardly getting closer!

Reading the news this week, and perhaps a bit more in depth than The Daily Mail or Telegraph, there are an awful lot of whites doing the same, but that doesn't suit the papers agendas.

 

Pakistani gangs are disproportionate in the figures... but they are not the majority (I haven't worked out if the Rotherham and Oldham gangs skewed the figures significantly or if you discount these 2 large groups if the disproportion would be the same).

 

Noting also that most abuse - physical and sexual - is carried out by someone the victim knows well, often a single family member - and these incidences far outweigh the grooming gangs. However a massive political row stoked by Musk threatens the protection of all these cases too (protection - not really... it is the prosecution that will be easier)

Have a listen to the victims statements Steven,even on censored platforms like insta,they are universally Asian attackers.This isn't really political, it's  criminal quite literally. 

 

I would have thought Starmer would welcome an independent investigation into the handling of this atrocity,where by he could prove his innocence and discredit the opposition?

 

Musk should be free to say what he pleases.

[Steven P]

The ones making the headlines are, yes, however there are also many other instances that aren't making the headlines. Yes it is criminal - the crimes are universally horrendous however the current highlighting of the crimes have a political bias as to which ones are reported and which ones are not. Granted though that Rotherham and Oldham are the biggest cases... but that doesn't mean the same crime is also happening but much lesser reported.

 

Starmer is a poor politician (which highlights how bad the Tories were if he could win victory) and you're right, he could be a doing a lot more to prove an innocence and do some discrediting.

 

 

 

(As for Musk, if his things is sex crimes he could be doing well to also look closer to home, his current plaything is no stranger to being a bit rapey, I don't believe his thing is the crimes but jumping on a political attack for his own financial gains)

[Mike Hill]

Then Starmer should stand up and say so.

 

" These horrendous crimes will be investigated to the fullest extent,using resources from outside the respective police districts. While we acknowledge rape and sexual abuse is perpetrated by all ethnicity's we have been presented with a horrific history of generational abuse and police neglect ".

 

That's it's,the eyes of the world are upon him. This is no time for " whataboutery" 

 

You either support Paedophilia or you condem it.

 

Where do you stand Steven?

[Steven P]

There is no place for it at all, those that do should be locked away.

 

However also no place for making political gain out of it either... Musk, UK politicians, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, anyone who uses it as an excuse to further a racist agenda, all out of order. Shouting loudest doesn't solve a problem, doesn't look at the root causes, doesn't work out if the UKs legal system is suitable or needs amending (new legislation).... but it does sell a lot of papers and re-twatterings.
