    Why? Because it challenges you all saying it's made up. Might be, might not.

    Cheers chairman Mao

    If you want to ask the question again, by all means go ahead, just leave off the ****e about Labour and Trump and it will stay up.

    I stayed on twitter, just blocked Musk and anyone else inarticulate who screeches too loudly, it's still decent for HCAFC and other interests.

    I've systematically unfollowed everyone who has moved to BlueSky so that I have them all in one place and as little as possible on Twitter. It's only really the official City account, Baz Cooper and the Radio Humberside account that I'm still waiting to come to BlueSky at this point. Wish those would get a move on so I could ditch Twitter altogether.

    Very similar here. Add Gillingham FC to the gerronwivit list in my case.

    He founded SpaceX in 2002 using the $175 million he got from the sale of Paypal. SpaceX value today: $350 billion (and set to grow by a huge amount due to cheap access to space and Starlink). Then he invested $6.5 million into Tesla in 2004. Tesla value today: $1.24 TRILLION. Boring Company value: $6 billion, etc

    Then he bought Twitter and went completely ****ing mental.

    OK so lets agree there was no circular sent out by the home office or the police.

    But child abuse was going on, those in power including the police, social services, schools and other knew it was going on and did nothing to stop it.

    Copied from the linked article, the last paragraph.
    While there is no evidence for the existence of the circular, the performance of the police and other institutions in protecting victims and investigating abuse has been heavily criticised during this period.

    Prof Alexis Jay - who carried out the independent inquiry into child abuse - said some victims would never recover from their experiences.

    "We heard time and time again how allegations of abuse were ignored, victims were blamed and institutions prioritised their reputations over the protection of children."

    There was only the police who could stop it
    Social services and schools can only report it

    so for the police to do nothing it had to come from higher up

    and I’m not saying labour or Tory both will have or did the same
    Ignore it so as not to cause racial tension when by not doing anything they made it worse
