  2. I was wondering “why they got life sentences while the Rotherham abusers got a slap on the wrist?” Then, I noticed.

  6. Would advise against reading details of the case. Horrible stuff.

  7. Iain Owens, 46; Elaine Lannery, 40; Lesley Williams, 43; Paul Brannan, 42; Scott Forbes, 51; Barry Watson, 48, and John Clark, 49,

    Tell me more about how this is a cultural issue.

  9. There is objectively no reason not to hang these people.

  10. What is wrong with our countries? Why does the UK have so many paedophile rings?!

    I don’t know if it’s just I see the UK news and it’s a lot of headlines right now but just feels far more common now. Absolutely revolting. I won’t repeat my last comment as it got me banned from Reddit for 3 days but the sentiment is still there.

  12. What has Refrom UK said about them? Have they asked for the death penalty or is it because they are white they won’t talk about this. White crime is OK for reform but if it’s a non white then they will talk about it

  13. “The trial heard that the children first came into contact with social work in Glasgow in August 2017 and were deemed to be at risk in July 2018.”

    It took almost a year?

    I don’t know the facts (that never stops anyone else) but I hope there is an investigation and changes made to social services.

  18. No mention of ethnicity at all, so I assume they’re white and that’s suddenly not considered relevant? Are we not calling for all white people to be hanged or deported? Strange… Stay classy UK.

  19. Farage and his rioters will be hard pressed to describe them as boat people!

  20. I just read this and have never felt so disgusted or angry. How can anyone sink to such depths. Prison justice awaits them

  21. Wonder how much traction this will get based on the perpetrators

  22. They’ll be rioting in the streets any day now… oh wait!

  23. Have they started rioting in Glasgow yet? No? Somehow I doubt ‘they’ will as it doesn’t fit the narrative they like to spin about horrible people doing horrible things.

  24. If you politicise this in the comments to fit your agenda, whichever way you swing your a knobhead. Child abusers should get life. Whoever it is.

  25. Your response to my point about the law not being applied equally… fell flat.

    “I have a bridge to sell you”… really? That’s the best you’ve got? I’ve lived in the North and have spoken with retired police officers and constables who openly admit that was exactly what was happening – they were specifically instructed to not get involved. Why? Because it would increase racial tensions and after events like the Stephen Lawrence enquiry, the police force shied away from anything that might suggest racial motivation to intervene and prosecute. This all goes back decades.

    Whilst not the case for this particular atrocity, I replied to a comment suggesting that outrage was only reserved for when the offenders were not white. Clearly, that is not the case. In fact, I find it an interesting reaction to the case in question- to immediately bring ethnicity into it at all.

    As though to suggest, that people are only appalled when the perpetrators are non-white.
