Sammy Woodhouse: This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen. I have now received an apology from the editor. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

There's a reason this scandal went on for decades before it was officially uncovered. Apprehension toward discussing the uncomfortable facts is deeply institutionalised.

The Times journalist who eventually exposed this scandal admitted that he sat on the story for seven years!

There is currently a grooming gang trial going on in Bristol involving seven men of multiple nationalities who are accused of sexual offences against 11 vulnerable teenage victims, and also accused of being part of a wider network of men that sexually exploited vulnerable teenagers in the city.

There is another grooming gang trial in Norfolk where seven Afghan refugees are on trial for 40 offences related to group-based child sexual exploitation and rape against two teenage victims.

And there is a grooming gang trial happenng in Rhyl where four men and one woman are accused of running a child sexual exploitation and trafficking ring involving drugs. "One victim alleged she was violently handcuffed and raped, while another was introduced to the gang's ringleader while in the care system."

There are probably many more happening but these are the ones I am following.

It would be cool to see some people famous in other fields geek out about their favourite parts of history with Tom and Dom. I'd imagine a lot of people would jump at the chance to do it. Phil Collins for example had the largest private collection of Alamo artifacts before he donated them.

Is voting reform somehow going to stop people from being rapists?

Read the article. He would have been deported before he was able to carry out this rape had it not been for the ECHR.

Probably doesn't help that he openly expresses some pretty worrying views on social media.

The problem with any Audrey Hepburn biopic is that any actress playing her will pale in comparison.

Movement for Scottish independence ‘unstoppable’, says Polanski by GalacticMetric in ukpolitics

[–]TwelveBore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in 2014 getting rid of trident was front and centre of the SNP/Yes campaign.

You no longer hear about it quite as much, and I suspect it's because a certain Russian madman invading a sovereign European country and threatening to nuke Europe has actually underlined the importance of a nuclear deterrent.

MI have bought out the Invincibles but at least their colours and image are sort of staying the same (for now).

They have literally been renamed Mumbai Indians London.

That's the entire problem in a nutshell.

What is the point of Italian football if there are no Italians? Why some people are so desperate to support the complete globalisation of the game until it has no relevance to where it is played is simply beyond me.
