Look around. Everything is changing all the time. Nothing really stands still. Politics included. Parliament and cabinet by Zoom! The growth of social media, spread of disinformation and consequential distrust of the traditional, edited, media. Everything is under a constant 24 hour spotlight today. Visit your married gf when you ought not be out and the world knows tomorrow. 18 years ago it would have taken a News of the World hack weeks of sifting through dustbins to get that dirt. No, if there is no action then it won't just be able to be brushed under the carpet as it might have been in the past. Yes all things change and a lot of them get worse. The spotlight under which they’re operating is no more intense than it was last year or the year before that,

Don't be so daft. I have very little faith in Patel. This decision won't though have been taken by her on her own will it? I expect it will have been taken by the PM and approved by cabinet on advice from the Police and even intelligence services. I would think it was a very difficult thing for them to accept because they would know what a fuss it would generate in a section of the public and gives plenty of mud for the tabloids to hurl about. So unless it was really necessary I don't think they would be doing it. Your 2nd paragraph is, imo, outrageous. Are you saying these systematic rapes of young girls is a “fuss” ? Plenty of mud to hurl around! Like possibly demanding answers as to lack of action? It’s okay for the media to hurl mud at Tommy Robinson though (I am not a fan by the way)

Both financially and emotionally. Although the incumbents are not implicated in any way. School of thought as well that it may be handy to have in the bank if starmer gets labour motoring in the locals oop norf.

If I might step away from the subject matter briefly, the debate itself here is interesting. On the one hand we have those who trust the state and those who don't. We have those who see this as perhaps a wider political debate and shift of power. We live in interesting times.

The spotlight under which they’re operating is no more intense than it was last year or the year before that, Better or worse can often be a matter of opinion. I think the intensity is constantly increasing and the level of misinformation has reached a whole new level with this crisis, which must make politics especially challenging. It may well be the case that some of the actions being taken must remain confidential for the moment but many were provided in that summary. In any case many people have their own ideas on what's needed and will be watching and commenting just as they are now. Let's hope that the government find a way of ensuring that the facts are presented in a believable way so that the conspiracy theories don't catch fire. They will be as aware of that danger as much as anyone else.
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. |

The "fuss" referred to is about the report's publication and not it's subject. This is all about HOW best to deal with this issue and not at all whether it needs to be dealt with!

Fight back? Sounds like a call to vigilantism. In our society we put our trust in the police, in the motto of the LAPD, “To Protect and to Serve” (there may be some irony in that particular case) and the fact that trust hasn’t been justified is why people are angry; that the police appear to have had their hands tied in some instances has fuelled that anger and disillusionment.

Prior experience versus wishful thinking.

The qoran would be implemented as a reason for some of these actions and the establishment would then have to criticise that book. Charlie hebdo anyone.

A vigilante would probably send a typical 'victim' to a kebab shop and see if she gets invited to a 'party'. It's gotta be on very shaky legal ground ? Edited by PalazioVecchio (09 May 2020 10.54am)

Opposed to what? Presumably the unbelievable way, is that there is 'nothing out of the ordinary to see here'. Let's be honest about this whole discussion on Hol. I can't even be bothered to name posters as it's relatively obvious. People just stick to the same tired opinion, lose the debate, stick to the same argument using different words, answer different questions to those being asked with repetitive platitudes - you're getting the picture.
