As I said in my post on Friday, tomorrow is a watershed moment that has been a long, long time in coming. Yet again, I find myself in a place where I can’t sleep, where I wake up in the early hours with a million thoughts going round and round and round in my head. Questions, anger, searching for reasons, for answers, for things I may have done differently. But whichever way I turn, I honestly don’t know what more I could have done, and that’s the real truth.

A personal journey for me that has spanned almost 20 years of my life, from the day I went back to work after my beloved husband had died in July 2005 to find out that Operation Augusta had been completely shut down. Dozens and dozens of children knowingly abandoned to their abuse in Manchester by @gmpolice , scores of paedophiles allowed to continue to walk the streets unchallenged and abuse god knows how many more children.

Why you may ask? How can that be? Surely not?

Well as @MayorofGM Andy Burnhams 2020 review officially found, because Senior Leaders @gmpolice made the policy decision in 2005 that they would not put resources into the investigation, and so they just closed it down and pretended it wasn’t happening. That is the stark, horrific and shocking truth. And having that finally, officially confirmed, brought me little comfort, although it was a very public vindication of what I had been saying publicly for many many years.

What will tomorrow bring? For me I know I will have to manage a mix of so many emotions that I darent even contemplate them tbh. I’m frightened I will lose my way, won’t be able to verbalise what I want to say, although as always I will speak from my heart and how I feel in the moment.

For the victims and survivors they feel all that I feel, and so much more. They have survived the most horrific abuse, their childhoods destroyed, the next 15 years of their lives stolen when they again became victims of a system which turned away, and made the journey and the trauma a million times worse than it ever should have been!

I will reserve all my comments about the report and the detail of my thoughts until then, but I just wanted to post today to make everyone who has followed this journey aware, that the report will be published in the morning and that there will be a Press conference at 8.30am tomorrow which will be STREAMED LIVE. Where both the independant review team, The Chief Constable, and Andy Burnham will speak.

If you want to listen to it/watch it, then please click on one of these links and you will be able to hear what the official findings are and what the 6 year review has found……

And of course I’ll be commenting too, on behalf of myself but more importantly for all those hundreds, if not thousands, of victims and survivors who have been silenced throughout many many years by the institutions who would prefer to pretend these betrayals hadn’t happened……

I will try to do them justice, and tell the truth as I have always tried to do. 🙏

I can’t help but think the money spent on NYE firework displays could have been used to greater good in our society 🤷🏻‍♀️
