If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.
Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚
For You. For Grace. For Ian.
Message to Elias Calocane.
We are not bullies.
We have not ‘instructed’ our Barrister to bully you and your family.
HOW DARE YOU!
We want the truth.
We want to know what happened.
We need answers.
We need to understand.
That’s all…
We deserve that…
You know you had the knowledge and the ability to intervene on the 12th and 13th June; but you chose to look the other way.

Three illegal immigrants have been found guilty of gang raping a British woman on a beach in Brighton.
They brutally raped her while filming and calling her a "Dirty b****".
At one point, one of the rapists grabbed hold of her face, forced open her mouth and spat in it while encouraging his friends to do the same.
The victim said: "I was begging them to stop and they wouldn't. Every time I close my eyes I can see them laughing at me. They thought it was funny. My skin crawls because of what they did. They're evil and they've ruined my life."
She may never recover from this trauma.
This is what the British government has done to the women of this country.
There needs to be a reckoning.
This girl was diagnosed with cancer, and minutes after her doctors went over her plans for chemo, a therapy dog going around in the hospital walked into her room, and it was something she really needed at that moment.
Afghanistan women secretly speak:
"We are not humans."
"We do not have feelings."
"We have nothing."
"We have to go out with a man."
"We can't talk outside."
"We can't talk loudly inside our home."
"Women and girls are banned from education rights."
"Save Afghan women."💔
Maggie Oliver deserves a knighthood.
She exposed the grooming gang scandal when others stayed silent. Now she has secured a judicial review against the Government over its failure to act.
One woman showing more courage than the entire political establishment.
PRESS RELEASE: HIGH COURT GRANTS HISTORIC PERMISSION FOR @TMOFCharity The Maggie Oliver Foundation TO CHALLENGE GOVERNMENT ON FAILURE TO ACT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION
This morning the High Court granted permission for charity, The Maggie Oliver Foundation, to challenge the Government on its failure to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). The judgement is a moment of profound significance for survivors of child sexual abuse and for every child in this country whose safety depends on the Government honouring its commitments to reform.
The Court found that following promises from consecutive governments, over the last almost four years, to learn lessons from IICSA to drive improvement in the policy and legislation protecting children, there is a legitimate expectation for them to deliver the inquiry’s twenty recommendations. The judge specifically highlighted the continued permission of use of pain inducing restraint techniques on children, a practice described as amounting to torture by IICSA, as an area where the Government has not justified its failure to act.
The case will now proceed to a full substantive hearing.
Maggie Oliver (former Detective and founder of the Maggie Oliver Foundation) will say:
“Today is a historic day, not just for the Foundation, but for every survivor who has testified, waited and hoped. And it is for every child now and in the future, and for everyone who believes the state’s primary duty is to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable. When governments make promises to act and then walk away, children pay the price. Today the court has said, those promises matter.”
Today is the International Day of Education.
Let’s not forget Afghanistan — the only country in the world where girls’ education is banned.
1,590 days since teenage girls were barred from school, and 1,130 days since women were shut out of universities by the Taliban.
Please support online education program. Despite fear and restrictions, Afghan girls are secretly continuing their studies. Your help can help them to join classes and learn more.
Please give them hope and smile 🍃🙏
