You were making a general claim that international students pay over double that of home students and then used an example within your own experience. Even your link proved this isn't true. All I have done is support that. That's not twisting anything. It's trying to avoid someone else twisting the truth,

Next week....the Gary Glitter years.

I'm never joining Wisbech's gang, that is for sure.

Funnily enough, when I first saw Rolf Harris teaching kids to swim on TV, I knew something was dodgy.
I think it was the swimming trunks.

Everyone knows that there were failures and that the scale of the problem was not well understood initially. Learning from mistakes and improving how we do things is how we make progress in every walk of life. In time I expect a full public enquiry so that the whole episode can be laid bare and the lessons learned. Until then we need to be circumspect and patient.

It is though totally counter productive to attack the Police when what will get a better result is to support and help them. Winding up the public, encouraging vigilantes, wasting Police time and resources on having to respond to the criticism and "protests", doesn't achieve what we all want. Which is to see these criminals detected, stopped and prosecuted.

So whilst there is no difference in the desired outcome, there is in the best way to achieve it.

I prefer those with information to work with and within the law and it's servants. If you have information take it to the authorities. If you are dissatisfied with their response contact your MP and let them investigate and involve the Home Office if necessary.

Don't concern yourself too much. I don't have a "gang" but if I did it would have rules that ensured high standards of morality, decency, kindness and generosity of purpose as it's primary purpose.

There are only a handful of folk contributing here who would pass that threshold.

No. Just as others at the time didn't. He was presented in the press as a paragon of virtue. This white knight who rode into the hospital on his bike, apparently all the way from London. I knew it was just a few miles though but thought that was just what "personalities" did.

The family didn't seem to think anything was amiss either and it was their child who was seriously ill and I wasn't going to add to their difficulties. It was only later, when the stories about him started to emerge, that 2 and 2 started to make 4 and I realised how dodgy he had made me feel.

It's easy to be wise after the event. Those days were different. Our expectations were different. Hopefully we have learned from them and do things better now.
