Quite possibly - people really should take care what buttons they are pressing.

We live in hope.

Yeah yeah I believe you Ms Shah. We all know where you loyalties lie really and it is not to the people of Rotherham.

Rape is rape.
Race & religion have nothing to do with it.
You punish the offender and move on.

Truthteller88, // Race & religion have nothing to do with it.//

Truthteller you are not.

Corbyn got off lightly on a related thread here last week due to his fans’ penchant not for diversity, but for diversion - and now we see //Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn praised her for the letter on his Facebook page.// Shame on him, shame on her - and shame on them.

Well I can't much condemnation from the msm.
Liking and sharing a message that the children of Rotherham who have been sexually abused and raped a little bit and should shut the *** up isn't that big a deal ... apparently.

*can't see*

If AB is a benchmark ... Gloria Hunniford's hair is more offensive.

Talbot, Depending upon the political hue of the speaker, criticism is either brandished with great relish - or nowhere to be seen. In this case it appears the latter applies – and it shows.

[youngmafbog]

We all know the msm pampers to the left so of course this sort of thing will be ignored ore relegated to the bottom of the page.

[Kromovaracun]

She liked a satirical (if off-colour) tweet and shared it... it's hardly the Profumo affair is it?

Seems like a non-story to me. The Sun making a mountain of a molehill.

[naomi24]

Imagine the reaction if something like that had come from another source ... cough, mentioning no names. Just saying .....

[Kromovaracun]

//We all know the msm pampers to the left//

Sun - Right-wing
Daily Mail - Right-wing
Daily Express - Right-wing
[the above three significantly outgun all the rest in circulation and influence on politicians]
Telegraph - Centre-right
Times - Centre-right
Financial Times - Centre-right
Guardian - Left-wing
Observer - Centre-left
Mirror - Left-wing
Evening Standard - Centre-right
Independent - Centre-left

Of the above, I think only 2 (Guardian, Mirror) supported Labour at the last general election and 3 (Evening Standard, Independent, Observer) declared for no party over any other. All the rest openly declared for the Conservatives.

"Left wing mainstream media" my Yabbie. People on the right are just as determined to feel persecuted as those on the radical left.

[Kromovaracun]

Yes it would still be a non-story blown out of all proportion naomi...

[fiction-factory]

I think MSM also includes the BBC, Channel 4, Krom

[naomi24]

Krom, I disagree that it's a non-story - I think it's utterly shameful - but had it come from another source, it would certainly be blown - and how!!!

[Kromovaracun]

I'm not sure what you mean by "other sources" (unless you mean the US President who seems to routinely run his white house through twitter, which is a tad different).

F_f - that's true, but broadcasters don't have as much lobbying power as newspapers do and it is also harder to definitively place their political support because they function under much harsher regulations than newspapers do. People insist equally vociferously that the BBC supports Labour as they do that it supports the Conservatives, when the truth is you can probably find incidental examples of both without it necessarily being a wider editorial policy.

[naomi24]

Krom, //(unless you mean the US President who seems to routinely run his white house through twitter, which is a tad different). //

Why is it different? There's a principle here.

[-Talbot-]

Non story?


Unbelievable... thinking that children who have been raped, abused, trafficked and tortured should just 'shut up is absolutely shameful for what ever the reason.

What next ... shut up you just been bombed a bit?
