Off Topic Politics Thread

My apologies. It’s hard to tell who is who as normally I get ganged up on.

Labour are the party of rapists. I have never been more disgusted with politicians in my life

 

Not trying to be a pedant, but do you mean they support rapists or Labour literally have a party full of rapists?

 

The Tory amendment was a deliberate wrecking amendment to completely reject the whole Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. This bill has a whole raft of measures aimed at safeguarding vulnerable children, toughen up the rules on home schooling, and change some of the rules on academy schools. The whole Bill would have automatically fallen if the Tory amendment had passed.

As has been made perfectly clear by everyone involved in the IICSA Report, including Alexis Jay herself, by Andrew Norfolk, the Times reporter who first broke the Rotherham grooming gangs story, by Nazir Afzal, the barrister who prosecuted the Rochdale grooming gangs, and most importantly by the majority of the victims who have spoken in public recently, what is needed now is the implementation of the 10 main recommendations in IICSA. A further public inquiry, which has not been ruled out in any case, but would take years to report, would introduce delay into protecting vulnerable children. The evil Keir Starmer, while DPP, was the person who changed the rules on prosecutions to allow the grooming gang members to be prosecuted in the first place.

The Tories could have done this 2 years ago, but didn’t. Kemi Badenoch was Children’s Minister when IICSA was published, but the first time she has ever even mentioned the grooming gangs in Parliament was today at PMQ’s. That’s how much they cared about vulnerable children.

How anyone can view this amendment, which stood zero chance of passing, as anything other than performative theatrics is beyond me.

 

Tory bid to force grooming gangs inquiry voted down

PMQs: Sir Keir Starmer accuses Kemi Badenoch of "jumping on bandwagon" about calls for inquiry

 

So what you’re saying is you support the cover up and don’t want a public inquiry into the grooming gangs?

I can’t believe what I’ve just read tbh. Thats really appalling.

How would an independent inquiry slow down implementation of the IICSA’s ideas?

At least starmers true colours are showing

 

Good work Labour, Conservatives attempt to derail actual action against child abuse for cheap political points stopped.

 

I realise reading isn’t your strong point, but do have another go old chap.

 

So you’re going to deflect the questions?

Why are you liberals and lefty’s so desperate to defend rapists and ****s?

 

That's obscene as is the tories attempt at blocking the bill. Disgraceful Os, beyond the pale.

 

That counts as a deeply personal insult. You’re banned.

 

Well I guess this thread will be peaceful for a while at least...

 

Not that you're going listen to me but that is not a personal insult. You are moving the goalposts to justify the ban. His reply to you personally was about deflecting the question. He then followed it up with a general question. You might not like the question but it wasn't aimed at you personally. People on here have called Conservatives voters ****s, does that mean everyone who voted Conservative should take it as a personal insult?

 

I don’t need to justify myself to you, but he crossed a line with his reply. I would have banned anyone for such remarks.

 

You moderate the board on behalf of all of us. You do need to justify yourself not just to me but to everyone.

 

I really don’t.

 

Hmm that's an interesting attitude.

 

Thank you. Goodnight.

 

Desperate stuff

 

Except that’s not what happened. The Tory amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill at this stage would have delayed it’s passage through Parliament, leaving vulnerable children at continued risk. All so the Tories could claim a win.

 

I think you need to get a grip. There’s something seriously wrong with you.
