@berk_hamstead@JournalismSEEN@BBCDevon@BBCNews If it wasn’t for the fierce campaigning of the TERFs, he probably would have been sent to the female estate.
The next question is - has the crime been recorded as being committed by a man or a woman?
Anyone know how this can be found out?
This story seems to have been quietly buried? The police across EIGHT forces have been instructed by the National Crime Agency to reopen numerous closed cases involving grooming gangs. Some victims have waited up to 15 years for justice, only to have their cases closed until now 😡
This is just the FIRST batch of files! 1273 old investigations from 23 police forces were sent to the NCA.
I think this is a disgrace. How can those cases not have been progressed? They must have met the evidence threshold in the first place. What exactly, do you have to do in this country to secure a conviction if you get raped?
And, after all this time, are these poor women and girls (and I have no doubt some men and boys) finally getting justice or just more delays? The system failed them once. It can't fail them again. I hope those survivors have the correct support and assistance, retraumatisation is a very real issue. 🩷

Jayne Senior spent twelve years filing reports about the rape of children in Rotherham.
She ran the Risky Business outreach project from 1999 to 2011 and passed roughly 1,700 cases to police and social services.
She was told the girls were consenting. That they would make poor witnesses. That she was breaching the perpetrators' human rights. That she was being racist.
So in 2012 she handed more than 200 confidential documents to a newspaper.
That single act triggered the Jay inquiry, the Casey inspection, the removal of the council's leadership, and criminal investigations that continue today.
The system called her records "rubbish". History calls them evidence.
Why did saving children in Britain require an act of career suicide?
Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors.
There is a process, obviously.
Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir.
Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy.
And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent.
So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass.
Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite.
Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.
Indulging a fantasy is not dealing with ‘dysphoria’, worst still having permanent body modifications in the name of that ‘dysphoria’.
The treatment plan for an anorexic is a meal plan to eat 6x a day, doing the very thing that is ‘triggering’, to eventually overcome & manage the distress.
You haven’t been treated, you’ve been pandered to. And you’re clearly the worse off for it, as you’re still hyper-focused on the body part you said caused you distress.
You’re not well and you’re not a man. It’s time you were honest with yourself and got proper help.
@ThePosieParker@londoner_woman@dsairambulance A perfect example of how to take a good cause and fuck it right up.
I hope it’s only attended by a few sweaty blokes with their balls poking out the side of their mankini 🤢
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.
My interview is below: 👇🏻
@officialsammyuk@OnChairs This is brilliant, I love your bravery 🌟
They still tried to fudge the race question by using ‘Asian’, which is just misleading.
If they can’t name them as predominantly Pakistani grooming r@pe gangs, then they are still part of the problem.
1/ Adolescence. A Netflix drama with a fictional white boy.
Parliament debated it. Into every school within weeks. To teach boys about misogyny.
That was fiction. 🧵
🚨THIS IS JUDGE LORD JUSTICE TIMOTHY HOLROYDE
This is the judge who REFUSED Lucy Connolly her appeal after she was convicted for a social media post.
Meanwhile this very same judge CUT the sentence of Labour's Lord Ahmed by THREE YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences. His sentence was reduced to just two and a half years from five and half years.
SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!!
@tonyvtree No, mainly because TERFs have fought against it, like we’ve done with puberty blockers.
But sick advertising campaigns that glorify the amputation of healthy breasts are aimed at grooming children into believing this is a desirable option when they reach adulthood.
@LairdOfThManor Agree - with the inclusion of a return to the reality of biological sex. A society cannot work fairly and appropriately when ideology replaces reality.
Good luck, Australia 🇦🇺
We need the same reset in the UK 🇬🇧
WARNING:
This is Blue of the Sky.
They are terrifying people over there.
I don’t even know what to say. I honestly don’t. It’s so much worse than you know over there. So much worse.
This is the app they like. The one they want everyone flocking to.
Amnesty International used to protest against the mutilation of young people by political ideologues. Now it celebrates it. This “trans rights” display features a girl with scars left after the removal of her healthy breasts. Amnesty should be ashamed of gaslighting young women.
