Will a national inquiry solve everything, straight away? No, it won't - but it is a start.
An acknowledgement that there is a deep wrong that needs righting.
An acknowledgement that thousands and thousands of vulnerable children were failed by an establishment more concerned about upsetting 'community cohesion', than the safety of young working class girls.
An acknowledgement that mass rape on British children by Pakistani men will not be tolerated, will not be accepted, will not be concealed.
As a country, we got this wrong, horrifically wrong.
The only first step on the path to some sort of redemption is an attempt to uncover the full horrors of what was inflicted on these children.
This can happen all alongside robust action, obviously - to say otherwise is just playing politics.
Starmer voted against this national inquiry tonight as a show of strength.
He has never looked weaker.
@BorisJohnson Labour lied & betrayed farmers like they have for to all “working people”.
They have no idea what they are doing and are going to cause massive damage to this country.
The lot of them should resign in shame!
James Earl Jones a true Disney legend has sadly passed away at the age of 93.
The circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding.
Thank you for everything.
International Tiger Day takes place every year on the 29th of July. 🐯🐅
In South Africa, non-native tigers, are being kept captive and intensively farmed for commercial purposes. ❌Let’s come together to #BreakTheViciousCycle and end the captive big cat industry for good!
In the last two weeks:
- Roma gypsy riots in Leeds.
- Bangladeshi riots in Whitechapel.
- A British soldier stabbed in Kent.
- Two men attacked firearms officers at Manchester Airport.
- Now children have been stabbed in Southport.
We need change now.
Enough is enough.
11 times he punched an officer, 3 times he punched one female officer in the face, and then punched another female officer twice. He took on 3 police officers before being tasered.
The one in the black punched the other officer 11 times before being taserd and then the one in blue came over and joined in.
If this was ANY other airport, in ANY other country, they would have all been shot. Dead.
Imagine trying that shit in Turkey or America or - literally anywhere else in the world?
And now, all our armed airport guards fear reprisals for doing their job, and will think twice about keeping us safe, because every MP in the country is a fucking coward, and so are their bosses.
