What Is Happening To Our Country?

What is happening to our country? I'd say this is a particular low point on certain metrics. I'm not a death penalty supporter but this sort of thing makes me reconsider:

What possessed you to post that? Old and very unpleasant news, and targeting a familiar target for you. Alas, horrendous stuff like that happens the world over, and isn't unique to our country.

I posted it because I had not seen these sentencing remarks before and am utterly appaled by it. It is not until you are confronted with graphic detail like that you even begin to comprehend the depravity of people engaged in this sort of thing. This is a thread about what is happening to the country. I would suggest that child rapists like this are a terrible part of the problem.

If it was Dave from Derby you wouldn't have bothered. 

Regardless, child and gang rape sadly happens and always has. These perpetrators being caught, convicted and sentenced is surely a positive, not a negative.

Eh? I absolutely would if confronted with the graphic details of child rape like that. I was equally scathing of the likes of huw Edwards for supporting this sort of industry even though what he did was not the end of the world. I'm sure you're aware of the scandal involved with many of these cases and the amount of time and effort it took for something to be done to allow these convictions to take place. I listened to a podcast from one of the victims recently it was a real scandal.

This is our country, and this disgusting shit was covered up for a long time by officials. It should never be forgotten. As this is a thread called what is happening to our country, it’s relevant, and maybe it will remind people if they have a daughter or granddaughter to be as vigilant as possible for their safety, as there are more depraved predators out there than people think.

It won't be forgotten, but it's a tad random to just bring it up. Any of us could dredge up the moors murders, or any other hideous act. Graphic detail of what these sick people did just isn't needed.

It was all over twitter - not sure why- and I was shocked and appaled by the details as I hadn't seen it before. I would say it very much is important to read about. 

Edit: now being remarked upon by MPs so clearly of relevance to this thread.
