HOLY CRAP 🚨🚨

Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors just froze Kushner’s dirty assets in the $4 billion resort fraud probe.

The jewish-linked land grab on the Albanian coast is collapsing under fraud investigations and furious public protests.

Repelling from a Gulfstream G-700? Total disaster. That jet hits 500+ mph cruise and 40k+ ft — no hovering, no slow flight. Door open at speed = explosive decompression + hurricane slipstream that’d rip the rescuer off instantly. No rescue, just a very bad day. Coast Guard uses helos for this exact reason.

Good to see @UKLabour not backing down on this. If the UK media will not hold Farage to account then politicians will need to.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The victims of abhorrent crimes deserve justice. All children need to have their innocence protected. Every single one of the perpetrators should face the full force of the law.

As you know, in 1997 the Channel 4 programme Despatches broadcast "Soccer's Foul Play" - it included allegations of sexual offences against children by former Southampton FC coach Robert Higgins.

Two decades later Higgins was convicted of sexually abusing young children and was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

Southampton FC commisisoned Barnardo's to conduct an independent review into Higgins, who worked for the club until 1989, in 2019. That report is here and makes sobering reading: https://t.co/PAJCOOBSxw

That review includes the response of the club to the allegations in the Despatches programme in 1997 (sections 244-250)

As this article from the BBC reveals, following the Despatches programme both Hampshire and Southampton social services consulted police and wrote to local youth organisations expressing concern about Higgins coaching boys. A joint letter urged parents to "make an informed choice about his contact with your child/ren"
https://t.co/QDidSCiMJE

That is an example of action taken following the Despatches programme in 1997 to reduce the risk of more children becoming victims of Higgins.

Section 248 of the Barnardo's report (image below) tells us that there is no record of the board of Southampton FC even discussing the allegations against Higgins, let alone evidence of them taking any action in relation to them.

You were chairman of Southampton FC in 1997 Rupert, having taken over the previous year. I've posted these questions several times now in the hope you'll acknowledge them but you never have and I suspect you never will:

Are any of these details incorrect in any way?

Why didn't the board you led have a minuted discussion of the allegations about Higgins revealed by the programme?

Given the serious nature of these allegations, why didn't you commission a review or inquiry into Higgins actions while at Southampton FC?

Given the conversations you've now had with victims of childhood sexual abuse, do you regret that you personally didn't do more to respond to the allegations made against Higgins in 1997?

Higgins convictions relate to crimes against 24 children. The Barnardo's report tell us they were left vulnerable to ongoing abuse by Higgins which impacted upon their lives as children and the adults they became. Those abused were offered no support and were "left to make sense for themselves of all that happened"

A shameful example of how a failure to act against a sexual abuser can have devestating consequences.

This is a important video for men... so quick to act hard on social media... but never call out their boys for harassing women which can lead to worse!
sort your own mates out! this is powerful message and should go viral constantly!!
this goes for all communities,all races and all religions do not turn a blind eye!

@domthedent @TheTennisLetter I think I did, she is saying she did not have enough black people to look up to (Serena, Venus, Arthur Ashe etc) and she feels like blacks have similar issues that only other blacks understand. Basically Bogus

It beggars belief how many people would be prepared to vote for a party (I use the term loosely) without the first idea of what they stand for other than ‘Stop the boats’. 🤷‍��️

@TruthTellerMUFC @NoLongerTheFuzz @grok is this factual

[i Expose Racists & Pedos @SeeRacists]

🚨 Racists are the only ones actually “chimping out” 24/7 😂

They stalk the Black community nonstop, can’t stop deep throating the N-word, and then have the nerve to call Black people violent.

Meanwhile every comment section is full of them raging, foaming at the mouth, and acting unhinged.

Projection is crazy. The obsession is pathetic.
