    crime, morality and “law and order”

    When they use those words, they don’t mean what anyone else means by them.

    Crime: whatever Nige doesn’t like.

    Morality: whatever Nige doesn’t like.

    Law and Order: keeping the proles subdued.

    None of those will be applied to those in power.

    JFC, that guy looks creepy. Forget the pedo thing just for a second, just that face. I’m really not sure what it is, but it’s off and it creeps the hell out of me. This guy is a psychopath at least. Now add the pedo thing back and the picture makes sense, and yeah, what the fuck Is happening here?

    Convicted. Not even ‘alleged’ or ‘accused’, and these are the same party who are scared people are coming over on plastic dingys to cause harm. This guy’s and actual predator.

    I guess they figure if pedos get elected in Murica, why not in the UK?

    What the fuck is up with all of the fucking kid touchers in positions of power?

    Eh, I guess the behavior is sort of aligned.

        Well he joined the reform party so the racism is implied.

        The hate for brown people all depends on age, if they are older than about 15 then yes, he hates them completely.
        However if they are younger than 15 then no, he realllllly likes them. The younger they are the more he wants to ‘come into contact with his constituents’.

    Denny had previously been convicted of possessing indecent images of children. The offence led to a community order and his placement on the Sex Offenders Register for five years . It was not a minor regulatory breach or an administrative oversight. It was a sexual offence involving children.

    Those things aren’t forever? Huh.

    What a style! So classy that you immediately see he’s a British convicted paedophile, not just any convicted paedophile!

      Starmer also appointed a pedo buddy, I wouldn’t clear non-conservatives that easily.

        That assumes the leader of the Red Tories isn’t a conservative… He’s certainly not a progressive!

          For the average lemming, every politician seems conservative too :)

    The Reform UK party has had this sort of thing happen over and over, where, despite them saying that they have the highest moral standards, one of them turns out to be a very immoral person. Usually they’re caught saying something incredibly racist.

    LBC’s James O’Brien recently imagined that their entire interview and vetting process must consist of only one question, “Are you a wrong’un?”

    Paedophiles makes me wonder if we should bring back branding as a punishment.

    Clearly any register you need to manually go and look up the person is too easily missed, but a brand on a shoulder would not be overlooked as easily.

        Yeah, but I don’t want to force them further into crime to be able to survive.

        That is bad for society, I’d rather make sure that they would be able to feed themselves and not causing any more trouble.

        The brand would still be easy to check.

        As I said in an earlier comment, that would just isolate them further from society, forcing them into further crime to survive.

        I’d rather they are able to feed themselves and contribute to society than to be a further drain on resources.
