  1. Not surprised. Just look what happened with the grooming gangs, the police were basically in on it.

  2. Watch this, he’ll get 0 time for the CSA and a little time for the drug offence.

    This country is so backwards on CSA and it can’t be a coincidence that many in the judiciary do not throw the book at people – likely protecting their own kind.

  3. Paying pedos to spy on innocent people does sound like the money conscious police we all know so well 

  4. I really hope it was just a fake account to try and catch people like him out, hopefully the mother gets arrested and the child removed as well if not.

  5. So the paedophile abuse crimes came after his time working for the police, and it’s not a perverse quid pro quo . Or might he have thought his spying would cut him some slack were he ever caught?

  6. >In March, Gratwick, whose full name is Edward Nicholas Gratwick, was arrested by NCA officers at Stansted airport as he was about to board a flight to Romania to rape a child in a paid arrangement with her mother, the prosecution told the court. In his bag was an item that he had previously said he was going to use to suffocate the child slowly while he raped her.

    Dude’s a straight up monster, glad the NCA got to him before he could act. I hope the Romanian authorities are looking at this mother too.

  7. Thanks police!! Thanks for dedicating resources to spying on environmental activists which are literally on everyone who isn’t a literal multi-millionaire’s side!!

  8. I need to go to Specsavers, was wondering why the Guardian had used a picture of Farage for the article.

  9. So, there’s a fair chance they knew about his noncery and used it to blackmail him into touting, Christ it’s almost a cliche at this point.

  10. They’re really coming out of the woodwork lately, and they’re all right-wingers.
