More Civilised (Part 1)

 So 2020 has been marked by a largely quiet time in Great Britain & aggrevated confrontations  in the north west of the USA in Washington state and other Democrat run areas.

Something that has caused a  stir in Britain is the unreleased report into the grooming gangs that many, no doubt not all, have been arrested and convicted following years of  outrageous neglect and apathy towards  these crimes of rape and paedophilia; also towards the young girls themselves.

The concern from the government is a public backlash since the contents of the report are more incendiary than initially antipated.  Having known victims of grooming I can predict some of the contents. The Conservative government of Boris fears a public explosion of anger.  Had Jeremy Corbyn formed the government in December 2019, the report  would have been buried even further.

 

If this type of report was released in the 1990s or earlier there would have been a far greater  furour with protests and a rise in vote for rar right parties in the next election.   In the 1950-1970s it would have been accompanied with violence. In the 1930s or earlier, the murdering of innocent people who have a semblance relating to the perpretators would have been  likely; despite capital punishment existing for murder.

Commendable that a more measured approach would come from the public. Providing it is one of refusal to make indiscriminate attacks and not one of apathy.

Next day after writing this, a report was released. It showed, unsurpringly, a large number of white child abusers, I'm not far from one of the three top security prisons which contains some of those vermin who sometimes get scarred or bumped off. But the report covered aboutr 30% of the cases examined, so it's incomplete.

A load of  opinion writers who call themselves left wing (middle class larpers as usual) were crowing about the demographics in the report & blaise to the suffering of the victims and the details relating to victims:  repetition of abuse, concentration of numbers etc.  Ignoring victims is not proof of liberalism or tolerance.
