The irony of your reply is that you have never engaged in meaningful debate because you have made it clear that anyone who does not share your views are wrong.
This whole reply sums up how right I was to call you a conceited individual. Maybe you have lived in your SW bubble for too long, I don’t know but you have recently been extremely rude but ironically call others out for hurling insults. If your post is not an insult to people can you explain how/why not

WE has never been misrepresented by me.

He's said this before and I've asked for him to specifically state what has been misrepresented.

I have his statements and so I say again, what have I misrepresented?

Totally agree.

I have posted many links on this topic but they seem to have little effect. Which is odd as this happened within walking distance of Selhurst Park.

Here is another.

You have frequently misrepresented what I have said and I have repeatedly corrected you.

You repost my statements, and your comments on them, and I will show you, once again, why they misrepresent me.

You, quite deliberately in my opinion, choose to misinterpret my remarks about how and why the Police and other authorities responded. And then you continued to post "my" opinions as being something they aren't, and never were.

For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever I regard the criminal activity of anyone grooming and abusing children as the most abhorrent of activities and thoroughly deserving of severe punishment.

I also believe that we need to support the Police in their work to detect, and bring to justice, those involved, whilst being mindful of the restrictions they have to work under and the lack of resources they frequently have to work with.

That's not "defending" criminals at all. It's encouraging realism and for us all to get behind our Police rather than seeking to make their work, and that of those bringing the prosecutions, more difficult.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I'm hearing claims that the Police and authorities have failed the vulnerable in this instance.

I have no problem believing this. It just confirms my prejudices in this area that areas of the Police are compromised in terms of toadying towards their elites rather than adherence towards the law itself.

However, the nature of this kind of crime isn't something which can be proven without corroborating evidence to back claims. I suspect that where that existed we saw the three convictions. How hard they tried when looking....I'm open minded towards the criticism that it was lukewarm though how could I know.

Nevertheless I suspect at least a significant proportion of this is true given the number of claims and the lack of care placed into the type of person working with vulnerable children.

I agree that this exists as a scar and a warning from history where injustice has been allowed to stand and destroy lives.

I see parallels here but I would criticise your stance with this as opposed to your stance on the systematic rapes of tens of thousands of non Muslim girls by a single community.

Your comments on here show your focus was upon criticism of those who shouted about it rather than how or why it happened....in stark contrast to your position here.
