What is the grooming gangs scandal and how does Starmer fit in?

While the Tories and the ace shit stirrer (X marks the spot) are doing their best, in the 'great scheme of things', Starmer and Cryer do not come out of this too badly. Police, social services and others do not shine at all.

Maybe an extreme case, but only because it is in the open.

Oligarchs will be olligarchs and will stifle the 'lesser' public in order to achieve their aims, dementia related or just wealth and opower.

However, the allegations (and they are only that at this moment) the history of the BBC and other broadcasters sweeping allegations of abuse under the carpet is something we all need to be worried about. Next Parliament….

UPDATE RE: MY ESCAPE FROM VIOLENT ABLEST PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABUSE

1/2

Good morning Mastodonians, emphasis on "good"! I have made my escape over the wall across enemy lines from abuse, and I am recovering in the resistance safe house. Translation for any "Neurotyps" out there: I've escaped my very abusive living situation and I'm finally in a place that feels like a home… like my home.

I'm waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up because never in a thousand therapeutic escapist daydreams could I have imagined the wonderful things that have happened to me in many areas of my life in the past few weeks. I'm home in a healthy, happy, healing, nurturing, creative, neurodivergent place with a wonderfully accommodating person of like mind and spirit.

Believe it or not considering everywhere I've been, I now live in an area that I've never been before. I'm surrounded by nature's beauty outside my home, and beauty, peace, love, and sanctuary inside.

There are so many opportunities for me here, and I'm extremely excited to have not only a new creative partner, but a partner in OutOfExile_IDR efforts with the same fiery passion as I.

Among many other creative endeavors, we are also collaborating on music. This stellar individual has helped me to remember that despite having a limb difference disability (one functioning hand), I am still a highly skilled musician with decades of experience I thought I lost after my accident(s). As a result of the inspiration that comes from combining with this person, I'm teaching myself to play guitar again, left-handed.

And best of all, this person has a punctuation fetish. You've read my stuff, right? They keep my creative meanderings in check. What a perfect yin to my yang.

"The South Korean capital of #Seoul looks glitzy and dynamic but the country remains deeply #conservative."

"This can mean that #abuse against #women in certain parts of society is not taken as seriously as it should be..."

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57493020

How can 'conservative' be used to refer to contempt of rule of law? What is being 'conserved' other than unpredictability?

The sooner we abandon this #newspeak, the sooner we can have rule of law.
