Nothing to do with TR. How much more evidence do you need to admit that the authorities refused to take action, due to the demographics of the perpetrators

The police weren't though "ignoring" the crimes, were they. That's just journalist spin. They knew they were happening but were handling them in a way that either they, or the government of the day, thought was in the ultimate public interest. What was actually happening behind the scenes, we may never know. I realise an official investigation resulted in one officer making an admission, but that's far from the complete picture, which I doubt he knew himself.

If you, or Y-L, think they know the full facts, then good on you both. I am sure you don't. Y-L decided he could exploit the story, wind up people like you, and make money. He helped no-one, certainly not the girls involved. Y-L has enriched his family and enjoyed a very nice life-style. He is very far from a victim. He is a scoundrel profiting from the vulnerable and gullible and deserves all he gets. Which is certainly not a knighthood.

I won't share any of my information, even if it becomes public knowledge. All I will say is it involves Government Ministers and senior Civil Servants. I am having a meeting with my MP, and her staff, in 2 weeks to discuss it.

You are wasting your time. It’s a crime and that’s it. The police will deal with it as they feel fit. If they can fit it in with all the hurty word crime around. I mean twitter takes priority over some white girls getting gang raped !!!

Trump was, and remains, a populist idiot. Never more so than his decision to pull out of the Paris agreement. How anyone can seriously believe that climate change is "crap", astounds me. You aren't an idiot, you talk sense on many subjects, but on this you stubbornly refuse to accept what is blindingly obvious.

Using the profit motive to achieve change is a million miles away from the profit motive driving the change. Science does that. Please listen to the overwhelming number of scientists, those who truly understand this subject, and ignore the fringes. There are always fringes, with mixed motivations.

I sincerely hope Truss doesn't follow through with reducing the levy and listens to wiser voices. Help needs to be given to those in crisis but that would send all the wrong messages.

It's "only" the BBC! But it's also the truth:-

All known, understood and accepted.

Doesn't change anything about Y-L's behaviour and motivations.

It does suggest that a policy adopted, probably with the best of intentions, to manage a difficult situation, proved wrong.

This wasn't wilful ignorance. This was a strategy, which I suspect was planned in the depths of Whitehall, with the intention that Local Councils would manage the situation through social care and local community interventions. That's only my guess. I know no more than anyone else. Those who think they do know, don't!

Everyone learns. Only the stupid think they know everything already.
