Depends whose " truth and reality" we are buying into

Too true. I've worked on some very high profile investigations in the past. Often there were headlines based on "leaked info' to the national press. This was however, quite reassuring because it confirmed that there were no leaks as the headlines were, as you say ....bollux ?Damo's first law of conspiracy theories;-
"The closer you are to the truth the greater the proportion of what you read is bollux"
Pretty much all conspiracy theories have a kernel of truth then two things happen. One, deliberately misinformation is sewn and two, the internet goes into meltdown about it.
Where is the evidence of that?Its no the noncing, as you point out, there are many more white nonces but these tend to be solo nonces operating from positions of familiarity on an opportunity.
The issue with Asian gangs is that there is a racist element, one that the establishment does not want to recognise let alone tackle. White girls are seen as trash and acceptable targets by far too many in these communities while their own young women are locked up and married off to uncles in some Stan somewhere.
Local councils and law enforcement don't want to look too closely at the Asian night time economy for fear of being labeled racist themselves but there are thousands of horny young Asian men predating on drunk or vulnerable young women.
Where is the evidence of that?
Police investigate the allegation infront of them and as I've said, a few years back, if the victims weren't cooperating or engaging the investigations were not pushed forward. There may well have been a racist element to those particular gangs and their young white girl targets were probably more accessible. Who's not to say that there isn't a similar level insular abuse within those communities as well.
Are muslim gangs more prevalent than Eastern European, African, Asian, British, Irish gangs that exploit young women. Surely those involved in criminality within communities reflect the communities they are in?
'Local councils and law enforcement don't want to look too closely at the Asian night time economy for fear of being labeled racist themselves but there are thousands of horny young Asian men predating on drunk or vulnerable young women.' ....Divisive right wing bollox ... are you saying young Asian men are more horny than white guys.. although that probably is true for Tommy Robinson supporters! ?
All true but to be honest I genuinely now think that ignorance IS bliss.
If you haven't looked for this stuff don't but also accept that you are ignorant.
Best to keep out of these topics, I don't know what good they do.
What I object to strongly is the right wing insinuation specifically highlighting child grooming gangs to Muslim communities. Yes there have been grooming gangs linked to muslim communities but is this anymore prevalent than any other community? All the perverts I arrested were all dirty old white anglo saxons. I can tell you for a fact that across the board kids in care, due to lack of support and supervision have always been exposed to exploitation... a clear failure of our social service resourcing. Go back a few years and these children were treated as problem offenders due to the disruption they caused in communities due to drugs, theft and disorder. No one actually looked at the causes. What you have seen is a change on policing and social culture in the last few years. These kids would/do not talk or cooperate with police so bringing about prosecutions was extremely difficult. Its only in recent years that changes in legislation have enabled victims more support in giving evidence and also the ability to bring about victim-less prosecutions.
Agree in some respects that the truth is suppressed but the issue is, that when the truth is suppressed people jump to conclusions, falsify it and then use it to promote their own agendas.I think we are going way off topic here, what you raise is for its own thread and discussion and when I posted the examples I was not trying to make this about race and grooming gangs, it was to demonstrate how information is suppressed all the time from all sides, I even gave examples of charities into the mix which tends to be committed by white males under the guise of charity care workers..
My post was not to drag up a row over who commits the most offenses but simply to demonstrate the media, the government, police, councils, care services etc are all guilty of suppressing the truth and are themselves thus implicit in the continued problem.
I only brought it up as someone raised the question on suppression and if it really does occur like I suggest in USA politics, the best way to demonstrate it does occur is to example home based situations we are all too familiar with.
Totally agree 100% but the solution here is for those in influence and power to tell the truth in the first place then those that would manipulate such situation are without a position.Agree in some respects that the truth is suppressed but the issue is, that when the truth is suppressed people jump to conclusions, falsify it and then use it to promote their own agendas.
Preaching to the converted there. Unfortunately the default position of many politicians when caught out is to lie. Seems to be the only profession left that is not held to account for lying. Plenty of police officers have been locked up for lying to cover up honest mistakes when a mere admission of messing up would have meant only a slap on the wrist. Same goes for life in general. ---- happens!Totally agree 100% but the solution here is for those in influence and power to tell the truth in the first place then those that would manipulate such situation are without a position.
Not really, the vote was guilty by 57 to 43 votes, that's guilty, but by an insufficient majority to convict.Trump not guilty .I wonder what the next move will be in the witch hunt ?
For what its worth, these days, the writers of the US constitution was very prescient in that they knew partisanship would overcome truth.Not really, the vote was guilty by 57 to 43 votes, that's guilty, but by an insufficient majority to convict.
Just like with a trade union voting, if 65% of the members vote; and every one of them votes to strike that is clearly confirmation that the majority of the membership agrees to strike. However by law 66% of the members must take part for a vote to carry so even though the majority vote for that strike, legally it would be unlawful.
You couldn't truly report this as "union votes against strike action", it ought to be "union votes for strike action but with insufficient votes to carry"
No political bias either way on this, but to say he was found not guilty isn't really truthful; he was found guilty, but with insufficient margin to convict, so is free to go. (Guilty but not convicted.)
In Scottish law there are three options guilty, not guilty and "not proven"
This latter option is really the case here, the majority found him guilty, but just like a jury where a certain % are required to convict, it isn't proven.
Darkwood, you are claiming that the media did not show this clip, that is literally a clip from US public media.It was not a court of law, it was a public show of biased politics, Trump was never citing that riot and here is his defense team that the media forgot to show you when they gave you a biased view of the whole event.
Watch this and tell me this is not a staged muppet show trying to make Trump out to be the perpetrator, meanwhile the Dem's are faking evidence and deliberately taking tweets and speeches out of context.
This is the very reason this is not done in a court, because they needed to fake evidence.
Any comment on the points that clip raises, that is that the Democrat prosecutors doctored tweets and selectively edited speeches to show Trump in a bad light?Darkwood, you are claiming that the media did not show this clip, that is literally a clip from US public media.
All this has done is to highlight that hatred and nastiness that runs through the veins of the left. It was never enough to detect Trump, they had to destroy him.I think the democrats have made a right mess of this, I have little bias either way and think they are all nuts, I do agree with media outlets leaning to the left, I can’t see how anyone can’t see that even in this country, essentially they witch hunt has made trump stronger as the everyday vote carrying American who supports him will see this as a vindication thus removing any doubt that some of them must’ve had.....and if the democrats couldn’t see this outcome before pushing for the impeachment it beggars belief, guilty.....innocent it makes no difference to the outcome in something like this.......great thread though with good arguments from both sides.
These threads with good natured debate are what make this electricians forum what it is........ermmmm?
