    Rotherham sex abuse gangs.

    No prominent report by BBC-NUJ.

    In contrast, ‘Daily Mail’ has-

    “Victims of Rotherham child abuse scandal may be as many as 2,000 says MP – and hundreds more are still coming forward.”

      There was a report on Five News or Sky News. The Police and Council are still in a battle with the victims, and protecting the Muslim paedophiles, who are continuing with their pursuit of paedophilic sex slavery, unhindered. The Police and the Council have forced the only Charity that the victims trust, to close down. The victims still have a lawyer and UKIP MEP Jane Collins on side, but three Labour MP’s are trying to attack the victims by proxy, through suing Collins.
      Also, something fishy is going on in the East Yorkshire Council safeguarding review, regarding censorship of information. The head of safeguarding at the council is Pam Allen, she and two of her goons, Annie Redmond and Grace Davidson all worked at Rotherham before the idiots at East Yorkshire Council took them on.

    Watching Question Time this evening the question that springs to my mind is, why do we have so many foreign people getting in to our politics and telling us how to run this nation?
    ie Peter Hain, Germaine Greer and Nataile Bennett?

      Colonials meddling in British politics… This is explained through complex psychological theory. A particular individual feels uncomfortable in or rejected by their home society, essentially a profound feeling of not belonging. To cope with this they emigrate, which to them is akin to going into self-exile. They then have a need to enact ‘revenge’, but they do this by using their adopted country as a proxy for their hatred. There are also underlying feelings of guilt and anger that they did not get to participate directly in Empire by virtue of having been born too late, expressed through a desire to ‘punish’ the Mother country that cheated them out of their perceived destiny.

    QT. Are British folk really this dumb? Packed with Labour stooges? Again?

    NHS. Snore.
    Fracking. AAaaaarrrggghhh!!!
    Paying women not to smoke when they are pregnant. Face-palm. (Labour even get that wrong.)
    TV debates. Ffs.

    Peter Hain logic “If you give me money I won’t go maiming people”, his logic dictates, that he’ll pay you the money. (Someone else’s’ money of course!) What a wanchor.

    Give me strength. Terrible. I hope ‘This Week ‘ is better.

    Drumroll………… ‘Convicted POTCOJ’ Vicky Pryce.

      As per usual, a rigged audience.
      As our Prime Minister is a Tory, and there are not many of those supporters in the QT. crowd, what is he doing about Al Beeb ? Its not helping him in his attempt at a repeat performance of his present vocation.
      Vote UKIP

        “As our Prime Minister is a Tory”

        You sure about that?

          Cameron is definitely a Tory: he stands for the rich and powerful and holds ordinary people in disdain. But he is not a Conservative: tradition, custom and the historical values of Britain mean nothing whatsoever for him.

    Just read the report about the gunman in the Dutch studio , as at 3.14am he was not named in this report.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31051114
    Strange that, because the Mail have named him as one Tarik Zahzah.
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2932056/Gunman-arrested-storming-studios-Dutch-national-broadcaster-demanding-air.html
    And here was I thinking it was probably Jan Van Der Valk.

    Friday and the week starts to wind up, the feeling of deja vu with the BBc breakfast reporting refuses to be shaken. There’s a woman “reporter” on a hill in West Yorkshire it falls a bit flat because there isn’t a blizzard. Childhood obesity has started to level off. Maybe they’d better start looking at their care / pension provision after all. Stop me if you’ve heard all this before.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SckD99B51IA

    The facts : Islamist Terrorists attack Egyptian forces in Sinai

    Who did that then?

      They probably aren’t true ‘militants’, they have probably been ‘radicalised’, (isn’t that what happened to the Greek government?), and have a false interpretation of the aims of the ‘so-called Islamic State’.

      Imam Cameron could probably put them right.

    OT

    Just a reminder that Churchill’s funeral is being shown in full on the Parliament Channel. They seem to have done a great job frepairing the old black-and-white film.
