The Jason Arday story, reminded me of George Abaroney, The President of The Oxford Union debating Charlie Kirk here in sweatpants, and a batman t-shirt. A year later he celebrated Charlie Kirk getting murdered. The Universities have fallen so far.
When Andy Burnham was junior Home Office minister in 2005, he was in post when Greater Manchester Police shut down Operation Augusta shortly after 15-year-old Victoria Agoglia’s death, and critics say the department did nothing when families wrote in about the abuse.
Victoria Agoglia was a 15-year-old girl from Rochdale who died in 2003 after a 50-year-old Pakistani man injected her with heroin. She’d been in Manchester City Council care since she was eight and had repeatedly told social workers she was being raped and forcibly injected with drugs by older Pakistani men, but no one protected her. Her death triggered Operation Augusta, which identified dozens of victims and nearly 100 suspects before Greater Manchester Police shut it down in 2005.
Thank you @sharrond62
They must.
Not one individual has yet been held to account or faced any action for their roles in the murder of my 19 year old son.
They have evaded, defended and looked the other way.
At every juncture.
This has to be the line in the sand….. 🙏
I’m done with allowing people to insult my ancestors like this.
No other group of people on Earth would allow their forebears to be insulted like this.
🇬🇧 My ancestors were the first people in history to fight to end slavery.
🇬🇧 They spread the common law across the world.
🇬🇧 They stopped Indians from burning widows alive so that they wouldn’t have to pay to feed them after their husbands had died.
🇬🇧 They stood alone against the Nazis.
🇬🇧 They invented and built the modern world with technology and medicine that started to defeat death and disease.
🇬🇧 They invented economics and democracy as we know it.
My ancestors were great people. Without them, the world would be an immeasurably darker, more wicked place.
Never again let entitled actors who known nothing about anything browbeat you into feeling shame for your ancestors.
Britain, and Western civilisation, are the greatest expressions of human flourishing in the history of the world.
Be proud of the ancestors who fought and toiled and sacrificed for that.
Don’t ever be ashamed of the greatness of our inheritance.
Live up to it.
