Is there any chance that (A) Ed will be dethroned before the next election or (B) Labour will win the next election? Should that "or" be an "and"?

Another horrible "organized child abuse and prostitution" story.

Professor Alexis Jay posted:

the seriousness of the problem was underplayed by senior managers and was not seen as a priority by South Yorkshire police. Jay said police "regarded many child victims with contempt".

These failures occured despite three reports between 2002 and 2006 "which could not have been clearer in the description of the situation in Rotherham".

She said the first of these reports was "effectively suppressed" because senior officers did not believe the data. The other two were ignored, she added.

The report said: "By far the majority of perpetrators were described as Asian by victims." But, she said, councillors seemed to think is was a one-off problem they hoped would go away and "several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist".

She added: "Others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so."

drat.

e: Yeah, I sure kan markup gud.

...despite not actually being British.

Quoted for truth. Lord Haw Haw did not actually have any legal obligation to the British government, but people were angry enough at him that it didn't matter. Any similarities to rendition (by any government, not just the U.K.) are left to the reader.

He was British enough to become a leader of the British Union of Fascists and he chose to become a British citizen.

Although legally an American citizen, he held a British passport in 1939; in September 1940 he was granted German nationality and held a German passport thereafter.

And why the gently caress are people trying to defend Nazis and fascists in this thread?

Because due process of law matters, especially when applied to Nazis, fascists, or terrorists. From the Penguin Famous Trials summary.

... much to my surprise I have found, with a universal reprobation of Joyce's conduct, a very considerable feeling, shared by lawyers and laymen, servicemen and civilians, that (with the utmost respect to the eight out of nine learned judges) the decision was wrong, and that an unmeritorious case has been made bad law. The feeling is not so much that Joyce, having been convicted, should have been reprieved, but that he should not have been convicted.

Rickets is making a comeback. (Ignore the crazy part of the article that calls gout a deficiency disease.]
