Northern Ireland's libel laws have not been and will not be updated, as libel tourism is a cottage industry here- some solicitors here like to work in Belfast and Dublin simultaneously, doubling the defence costs.

There's already a pedophile island where literally over 50% of the people on the island were pedophiles. They were all the descendents of British too.

Oh, god. My sympathy to the Brits, here. This is going to echo, isn't it? Here's the question - this is recent enough in time that newer politicians could qualify as, er, 'groomed' by them - their proteges. Who is potentially shadowed by this theoretical list?

Because that was pretty much compiled from David Icke forums posts and is (or at least was  ) freely available from there, and the level of proof they offer is around about the same level of proof that they have for Prince Phillip being a reptiloid alien.(Although the last year is seriously beginning to make me look at the necks of the rick for evidence of gills)

The very best of public schools used to have a tradition of younger boys serving and being physically abused by the older, and by repute that often included a bit of solid character-building buggery. It's hardly surprising when some of the students find they have a taste for it. It faded out over the last 30-50 years, though, so the incumbent generation will hopefully be the last.

I think what's been happening in Rotherham and elsewhere proves that paedophilia transcends bounds of class and race. What has to change (and hopefully we're seeing the first big wave of that change) is the culture of silence around it.

Warcabbit posted:Who is potentially shadowed by this theoretical list? At the moment, the whole drat government, paedo or no, is threatened. One of the reasons the police are being so hush-hush with names is that being caught up in this scandal (even if not actively involved or later found to be not culpable in any way) is obviously so politically poisonous as to destroy careers. Slinging around names of high profile politicians is dicey at the best of times, but with the Tory party holding a tiny majority of 12 MPs, there's a chance that this scandal could take down a sitting government if anyone currently in a high profile position is involved. Any government can normally expect to lose a few MPs during it's run through ill health, death or resignations through the more mundane forms of scandal. By-elections are used as an opportunity for opposition parties to prey on weakness in the current government, and as such are prone to high intensity shock campaigning. Losing even a couple of sitting politicians at the wrong time could theoretically trigger a chain reaction that forces a mid term coalition or even a collapse in government.

Also, when the Government is looking to make more 'austerity savings', no superintendent is going to stick his/her neck out to name names for fear of the Chancellor's Cuts Lottery drawing the Home Office.

Spangly A posted:Yo if someone can demonstrate a similar case where the US has told the UK to gently caress off on a national security libel issue, then I'll post everything I can dig up that wont jeapordise any of the victims. Some things will out them by their very nature, like bank records, and I won't post those without being certain they're determined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPEECH_Act But I don't know how jurisdiction works on t'interwebs. Though if a USican posted something to a USican site whilst in the US, that would seem pretty clear-cut. Note that the law still means that USican libel laws apply.

Yes, I'm aware of this. I was just thinking - good lord, what if some more current politicians had the same proclivities, perhaps were given a leg up by their, er, elders. This could snowball wider.
