George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 09/01/2025This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it? 852233816 0

Lex @lxpeanut.eurosky.social · 09/01/2025I knew that when I was told by them that I was lying about a grooming gang I unfortunately had first hand experience of. Not as a victim personally but as someone they tried to target and a friend of some of the victims. The reason they didn't believe me was purely down to their skin colour. 010 0

Phill Cook @drphillc.bsky.social · 09/01/2025It's a mystery. My best guess is they misheard 'Walsall' as 'Warsaw' and thought 'we have no right meddling in the affairs of another country'? 000 0

Lee @justlee.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Imagine being a victim of such a gang and then having your suffering ignored because of the ethnicity of your abusers... at some point, our media might like to take a victim-centric approach to this issue rather than letting the far right use it as a proxy for racism. 3978 0

It’s me, Claire 💚 @faultfinderuk.bsky.social · 10/01/2025One thing they all have in common is they’re poor. Does that mean rich people never abuse young children? No. These people may be the ringleaders, but anyone in our society could be the abusers. It’s still all about money. 000 0

Andrew @andrewgowen.bsky.social · 09/01/2025The Tory calls for an enquiry are simply butt licking Musk in the hope he will give that £10m to them rather than Reform. They are selling political influence for cash. No surprises here. 000 0

Nothing else will do!! 052 0

sjsblenkathra @sjsblenkathra.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I heard on the radio that the majority of sex abuse is actually carried out by child on child.
