Pure distraction. You are right. What the Mail, and many other newspapers do to a lesser extent, is to distract. We have a free press, so they are all approved. Whether what they do is responsible is another question.

You would make a very bad policeman. Blundering about accusing people, arresting them and alienating whole sections of society whilst doing so. Your cases would never come to court. The CPS would review each case and throw them out for a lack of evidence. Meanwhile, having wasted all that time and resource on a fruitless pursuit of those who are almost surely a danger to our children, you have now managed to see them released back onto the streets and being covered up by their community, who now feel you are targeting them all. Wanting to do something is entirely different to being able to do it. You have to work within the law, no matter how frustrating that might be. Exactly the same applies to other areas of criminal activity, like the way the people smuggling gangs are able to avoid the laws. Nobody, policeman or not, wants to arrest anyone for protesting in whatever way they want to. They will do their best to encourage them to move on. Only as a last resort would an arrest happen. You are content that rape-gangs are allowed to carry on their activities unheeded while being more than happy for people to be arrested because the police merely perceive that a person standing silently is committing a crime.

It seems that, this time, that quote is almost accurate! Almost! The actual quote seems to be "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them." Only slightly different? Not in it's meaning. Absurd has a a much more nuanced meaning than wrong. Likewise with intellectual and "very intelligent". To believe something is very different to believing in it. Put together the meaning of the two phrases is totally different. In his Notes on Nationalism, Orwell says: “One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool”. Sums you up well I think.

What are your daughters' names - Goneril, Regan and Cordelia? No. Juliet and Rosalind. Affectionately known as Julie and Rose. Or little and large, depending on who is providing the affection.

I am pleased you have reached a conclusion, so that you can stop feeling the need to analyse. I have no need, and less desire, to try to analyse you. You reveal your character in every comment you write, via the paucity of the reasoning.

That being so doesn't absolve them from criticism. Based on experience I would always look elsewhere for facts and at places like the Mail to see how it's being spun to their readership.

Looking at many of the comments above. It is clear : a) that some people are delusional pant-wetters with no moral fibre and endless forgiveness & optimism.

Of course not. No decent policeman, which despite the current problems with the Met are most of them, doesn't care about these things. Reporting is not an objective. Convictions and a decrease in the crime rates are the desired outcomes. Convictions demand evidence. You need public support to gain the evidence. I wasn’t talking about the plod; I was talking about the communities they have to be soft with! They knew and know what’s going on but don’t give a feck as long as they can keep living in their own little commune.

I meant approved by yourself. Who I approve is pretty irrelevant in the scale of things. I might approve of everything that's legal, but that doesn't mean I like it or trust it.
