    To the simpletons (you know who you are), it is possible to both oppose anyone involved in CSE and also oppose TR and his antics.

    TR is, among other things, a convicted fraudster. He doesn't care in the slightest about the victims in these cases. He uses these trials to stir up hatred, push his agenda and dupe his simpletons into parting with their money.

    He hasn't 'uncovered' a single case. He jumps on the bandwagons when these cases have already gone to court and claims the media won't report on them, 'free speech' and various other tripe.

    He jumps from one bandwagon to another. He is a shameless self publicist and will do anything to swell his coffers. He often neglects the laws of the land and has multiple convictions stretching back over a decade.

    He preys on the most gullible and stupid in society and sadly for him it works perfectly. This is because said stupid and gullible people will take anything TR says at face value. They either don't have the mental capacity to question what they read or see, or they simply don't want to question anything as it validates their bigoted views.

    TR has no redeeming features whatsoever, and he is a stain on civilised society.

    If it talks like a nonce, and waddles like a nonce, guess what its a nonce.

    And there we have it. Rainman is simply too stupid to read and absorb the first sentence.

    If you're struggling, put your finger under the words as you read them, and maybe read them really really s l o w l y.

    It was a genuine question, as despite your claims you certainly have an air of TR fanboy about you. Perhaps you'll prove me otherwise, perhaps not.

    I refer you to page 5 of this thread....

    ''As for the other post, it's not a case of one or the other. Any right minded individual should be appalled by grooming gangs, rapists, paedophiles etc this is regardless of their ethnicity. It is possible to be appalled but also want to see the accused receive a fair trial. I'm sure any of us in that situation would hope to receive a fair trial. Perhaps if Tommy campaigned against all people who commit such heinous crimes, instead of just the brown perpetrators, then he might have more credibility''

    There is no reluctance on my part whatsoever to condemn the people who commit these heinous crimes. If you'd researched a little further you'd have seen that ^ for yourself, but I'm also happy to point it out to you.

    Like most balanced people, I hate the crime and not the colour of their skin.

    Well lets start by saying at my age I don't have to prove anything to you or anyone , so can your fake superior sh1t , because it's inappropriate with me !
    As we have established or at least trying to , we have moved away from TR and are now concentrating on the vile , systematic rape and abuse of children . You specifically highlighted TR in your op , because it suits your agenda , but thats fine , lets roll with it , however if you really want to include him in the eqaution , then its only right that we address the lack of care the authorities and higher powers have shown in NOT dealing with recent abuse cases .

    Whats my agenda?

    This is a thread about TR, so no we haven't moved away from him nor will we. If you want to talk about CSE exclusively then I'd suggest starting a new thread where people can just discuss that topic should they wish to.

    You're more than welcome to continue talking about it in here though, but TR will regularly rear his ugly head as this thread is about him and he's in the news and public eye daily.

    You seem a bit rattled, hope you're ok.

    With every post you make that air of a TR fanboy increases. You're like a Rainman lite at the moment; not overtly bigoted but a potential undercurrent there for sure.

    The Ukip leader, Gerard Batten, has appointed the anti-lslam activist Tommy Robinson as an official adviser, further cementing the party’s move towards the far right.

    Batten said the founder of the far-right activist group the English Defence League, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, would advise him on grooming gangs and prisons.

    The Ukip leader said Robinson, who faces a possible retrial after successfully appealing against a jail term for contempt of court for live-streaming videos to Facebook from outside a grooming gang case, had “great knowledge” about the subjects.

    Theresa May accused of cover-up over child abuse inquiry concerns
    It comes after a string of high-profile resignations from the inquiry into historic abuse

    No 10 officials admitted Ms May knew about concerns when she was still Home Secretary
    No 10 officials admitted Ms May knew about concerns when she was still Home Secretary ( PA )
    Theresa May faces claims of a cover-up after she admitted knowing about concerns over how the child abuse inquiry was being run weeks before any official action was taken to address them.

    The Prime Minister accepted there had been “stories around” about the troubled probe when she was Home Secretary, but that it had been impossible for her to act on hearsay.

    It follows a string of resignations from the inquiry into historic child abuse allegations, including that of former chair Dame Lowell Goddard who quit earlier this year amid concerns about her professionalism and competence.

    Downing Street had said the first Ms May officially knew about concerns was in late July, but inquiry staff revealed issues were raised with the Home Office months earlier.

    After being confronted with the new information, No 10 officials admitted Ms May knew about concerns when she was still Home Secretary, some weeks before the end of July.

    Following the revelation, Labour MP Lisa Nandy said: “For far too many child abuse survivors, cover-ups, secrecy, institutions that act in denial will be far too familiar.


    “And I’m not the first person to say that this feels like a cover-up. In fact there are a number of child abuse survivors who have been involved in the inquiry who are voicing those concerns as well.”

    Speaking to Sky News, she added: “If Theresa May is serious about allowing the truth to emerge, and for people to have confidence in this inquiry, then she needs to come clean about what she knew and when.”

    Asked by Ms Nandy in the Commons why she had not intervened to address concerns earlier, the Prime Minister claimed it was important the Government not be seen to interfere with the inquiry.

    Ms May went on: “There were stories around about the inquiry and about individuals related to the inquiry, but the Home Secretary cannot intervene on the basis of suspicion, rumour or hearsay.”
