Thanks for sharing, Houch. Glad you managed to come out the other side and made a decent, happy life for yourself.

Even when I was at school in the 1960's, only a couple of my closest friends knew that I was in a kids home. I was just too embarrassed to tell anyone. It was a stigma that I carried round with me all my school life. I was also afraid of other lads asking why I was in care, because I simply didn't know and couldn't give an answer. It's an incredible weight to bear when you don't have answers.

crimes like this? so we can’t discuss how wrong that pedos don’t get jail time

fuck me. starmer clearly felt it wasn’t necessary for pedos to be jailed. yet happy to jail someone for a Facebook post

wonder who is more of a threat to society. Nasty person behind a keyboard or a bloke wanting to see sexual images of a child

You are actually talking bollocks. Read about sentencing guidelines and how they are created and the details of various cases. Then read about how the UK justice system and government interact and the separation of powers.

You’re just exposing how little you know about what you’re talking about and making fucking child abuse a party political issue. Get fucked.

what job did starmer have before becoming an mp and pm?

People like him are part of the problem. it’s like a little club with judges, politicians and alike.

its been happening for years. fuck all to do with party issue

as I say. because it doesn’t fit your agenda you try and justify it

And the stats on those in care who end up in prison are horrendous

The agenda is that it's the wrong place mate, that's what the politics thread is for!

it’s all related

many on here questioning why he didn’t get a jail. so it’s related and not the wrong place

Great reply

Thank you Otis. When I was in my late 30's and early 40's, I did so much voluntary work in Coventry, I reckon I put more hours into volunteering than my normal work. Me and my current missus also fostered for a year or so, taking in a young lad of 12 who had severe behavioural issues. He was extremely demanding. Further to what you said, his mum was in the same kids home as me, but Social Services told me that we mustn't interact with her. They obviously had their reasons. I also took care of another lad who had problems at home. I used to take him to our local youth club each Friday. His mum was so grateful for the short respite. I was also chairman of the Wood End & Henley Green Residents Association. I really enjoyed that work. Oh, and I completed the 3 Peaks Challenge aged 40. We raised £16,000 for Baby Lifeline. So, what I'm saying is, you can make a difference, whatever your family history and upbringing.

 

[Houchens Head]

.......and further to my post above, between a full time job and hours of voluntary work, I still found time to work as a steward at Highfield Road! PUSB!

Another one here. Why have they waited until he is dead? This looks like a serious rap sheet of allegations.

From the article it says previous attempts were met with lawsuits. Probably couldn’t say anything against a litigious billionaire

Not when a victim is pouring his soul out on here however it occurred, take it to the appropriate thread!

The Victims or The Press?

 

[Grendel]

I totally understand the law thanks and I totally understand the medium risk with mitigating circumstances means a suspended sentence.

My point is this is not acceptable as it allows people who watch terrified children being raped for their entertainment so on a moral basis this should be condemned as a disgraceful sentence.

I would say I’m surprised given your so called religious standing but then again given your backing of the vile Justin Welby why am I surprised

Welby has now resigned

What a disgrace he is

 

[Mcbean]

Welby has now resigned

What a disgrace he is

my wife has always said he was odious - not letting the churches open for prayer during lockdown - shes very happy

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He was wrong not to do more in this situation and should have resigned yesterday but he’s a wonderful man who’s done a lot of good not least in the area of safeguarding

Just not safeguarding kids.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Just not safeguarding kids.

I’m not sure that’s why he’s had to resign
I think it’s more he shouldn’t have left it to the police to do their jobs
What do you think he did that led to abuse of kids?

 

[Nick]

He failed to report it, it meant further kids were abused.

Sorry but that’s rubbish.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He didn’t fail to report it

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Sorry but that’s rubbish.

No it’s not
You don’t know what he has or hasn’t done or worked with him or seen the work he’s done

 

[Nick]

He didn’t fail to report it

He literally said he didn't because he thought somebody else had.

 

[Nick]

No it’s not
You don’t know what he has or hasn’t done or worked with him or seen the work he’s done

Couldn't care if he's painted the next picasso painting, he knew somebody was abusing kids and let it slide.

 

[Ian1779]

No it’s not

No I haven’t - but equally having worked in education for 20 years we don’t wait 12 years to do fuck all when it comes to safeguarding.

As leader of that organisation he failed every victim.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He literally said he didn't because he thought somebody else had.

An author who profiled John Smyth and detailed his abuse within the Church of England, says that the Archbishop of Canterbury’s resignation is unlikely to bring about change.

Speaking to BBC News, Andrew Graystone says he worries that Justin Welby’s decision to quit shows the church is “ungovernable”.

Criticising a culture of “cover up and secrecy”, Graystone says that since Welby took up his post in 2013, the archbishop had tried to bring about change around safeguarding.

But, the author says “this hasn’t made a difference”, and advocates for safeguarding in the Church to be placed in the control of an independent body with expertise in the area.

As a result, he suggests that Welby's resignation alone won't be enough to improve the safeguarding culture within the Church."Throwing one archbishop under a bus and replacing them with another isn’t going to change that," he adds.

No he didn’t
He became aware in 2013 when it was reported to the police let’s not make things up

Completely unrelated to what I said.
