The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

It needs both clearly to ensure it's very unlikely to happen again. -
The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

Because the only investigation so far has been about child sexual abuse in general, not touching on gang related sexual abuse, not mentioning anything about cultural issues that has contributed to this and there's little confidence that this type of abuse will be eradicated if it isn't fully investigated. The home secretary has now said there is a problem with Pakistani heritage grooming gangs. This hasn't been investigated before. The recommendations from previous broader enquiries need to be implemented alongside a focused enquiry, not least because many of the people involved are still in positions of power and there are fears that this sort of thing is continuing. -

The tories were wrong not to have an enquiry. That can't be changed now, the people in power now need one. When I posted the shocking details the other week which I'd heard for the first time, some people were saying it was unnecessary and insinuating that I was racist for having done so. It seems that Labour have now bowed to the pressure to some extent and started a process to hopefully get some sort of justice for these people and to prevent further victims. If nothing else, for the first time a Labour home secretary has used the words Pakistani heritage grooming gangs which proves they exist and suggests they are actually something distinct and not a far right conspiracy theory. -
Hear that @sadoldgit? I'm a lefty moron.

When you have tdmickey3 indirectly defending me you know he's bad. Guided Missile the great unifier.

I know it's confusing for you but he's calling you a wanker.

Suggesting that this deal has nothing to do with the fact that Trump is going to be president is disengenuous in the extreme. Of course it has to do with him.

John Misselbrook makes me want to support Kamala Harris.

It's great news. We wouldn't have these results if Trump hadn't won the election.

It's a few years ago but I have the PMs from the time when he was requesting personal details. Really didn't like people looking into his personal details and what he did for a job.

He threatened to sue someone on here as well.

So competent that you are calling for the removal of his Chancellor after six months in charge. Is that a sign of competence? -
No blacks. Some won't be happy. Pretty good hosts from my point of view.

Speaking of which... -
Are the people who left Brighton still available? If so get them in.

I thought he was part of sports Republic?

Really good they've recognised a lack of drive and leadership.

In the recent past we've had LBC, the Guardian, James O'brien and now Little Owen Jones. Is that a bingo?

Well I wouldn't support that obviously. I'd definitely support British citizens getting preferential treatment in general though. That should include first dibs on homes.
-
Are they applying it to second homes? Or are they applying it to non EU citizens buying homes for profit?

Spain first. Good for them. We could do some of that.
