There was a case recently of two men convicted of rape and grooming - forget where but it had the same pattern: ethnicity, troubled white girls, late night takeaways, etc
What shocked me was the date of the crimes. 2014. AFTER Rotherham was all over the news.
It is still happening.
And btw that horrible white gang should have got life sentences. Clearly.
Now, work.
It was only on this website that I found out about the scale of grooming gangs of this demographic. There are dozens of them! From watching the main news channels, you'd only hear about Rotherham.
What I find most scary about them is that the girls involved were often raped by 50 or 60 men, yet only five or six get charged. It's alarming.
FPT..Maybe we should delay the brick banging until the very end of their sentences..something for them to look forward to..nothing is too good for the baby rapers..they would be the only prisoners ever to plead for longer sentences
@AndyComRes: Incredible breakdown of votes in Labour Mayoral. Among the £3 Registered Supporters, Diane Abbott beat Tessa Jowell
In the words of Husdon from Aliens
'Game over man, Game over'
That surely means Corbyn home and dry.
I called it earlier. Corbyn wins this on the first round.
Will you please give those of us who find this surreal to take time to digest that the Labour Party is actually destroying itself courtesy of the incomers and a wilful blindness to reality.
Not so much of your "yes well I called this ages ago..." please.

From another perspective, there is a crumb of hope in that: instead of the crimes taking a decade or more to be discovered, yet alone taken to trial, they're being detected and convicted much quicker. Not only does that get some scum off the streets, but it sends a much stronger message to others who might commit these hideous crimes.
There will always be people who want to perform such acts. As iSam said on the previous thread, such crimes are compounded when authorities either allegedly (and I'm being very kind in saying that) turn a blind eye, as at Rotherham and elsewhere, or utterly muck up, as in the Myles Brasbury case.
Crimes in 2014, conviction in 2015 is better than crimes in 1997, conviction never.
Seems to be more about the stupidity of the general public and police, neither of which can distinguish a criminal from an actor pretending to be a criminal.
The xkcd book answers the question of what would happen to a submarine in space. Now, that really would be hiding it. Except people could find it easily ...

Are you sure? To quote the much-missed Douglas Adams:
Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.

You almost have to pinch yourself to believe this is really happening...
I remember one comment Mike made early on in the campaign, possibly after the first poll, when he said "it was a very difficult race to call", which was clearly wrong. It wasn't a difficult race to call at all: it was a difficult conclusion to comprehend.
But raw numbers tell a different story. 10 per cent turnout among affliated trade unionists who were automatically enrolled meant close to 200,000 votes. In the last mayoral selection, close to 24,000 affliate members voted. This time, it was just 9,875. Why does that matter?
Well, among other things, it suggests that if, as looks likely, the Conservatives pass the Trade Union Bill, we now have a clear idea just how many trade unionists will opt-in to paying into Labour's political funds: not very many at all.
The highlight of next week will be watching the Labour benches at PMQs. I'm curious to see what Cameron's tactics are: does he go for the kill or toy with the nutjob for a while.
I remember when the BBC interviewed Tessa straight after Ed was elected leader. Her first words were "Naturally I'm disappointed". Good way to get behind the new leader - not.
I am very pleased that she has failed to win the nomination.
Despite the voting system, I still think UKIP should withdraw from the mayoralty election. Normal people may not understand and we can't risk Khan making London the New Harare
I think Cameron will be his usual self .. ..congratulations then answer the questions put to him..Corbyn will not need any help.. nor should he get it ... but watch out for some barbed stuff from the back benches..maybe even some from the Labour side..
Let's say Corbyn gets elected tomorrow - and turns into a media horror show, with the Labour polling heading to low twenties. Corbyn is a dead man walking.
How much of that rubs off onto Khan? He will have been elected during the same clusterfuck brain fart....

"David Cameron: Jeremy Corbyn is unfit to lead the Labour Party
Prime Minister attacks left-wing candidate's criticism of Syrian drone strike and says: 'If you can’t make those decisions, you shouldn’t do the job.'"
Perhaps they'll convince themselves to wait for the polls to decline. During which time Corbyn appoints comrades to important posts and cements control.
Then mid-term blues show up, and they're loyal, because that's how Labour backbenchers roll.
And then it's too late to change.
Lib Dems and UKIP have, potentially, a great opportunity.

That won't happen Sam, UKIP must put in an appearance, although I will be voting for Zac myself; unless that is, UKIP comes up with a potential winner. Though I don't see it happening.

I can see why you are an ex-Labour Party member !
Ha! Well I was never a member of the party, I just come from a working class family that have voted Labour for generations that now see the Labour candidate for London wanting to put our children to the back of the queue because we are white
But he never wanted the post. He's like a coach-potato who has been told by the Job Centre that he has to at least TRY to look for employment, so as a fuck-you, sends off his CV to a job for a brain surgeon. And because the other candidates are even more shite, gets a job as a brain surgeon.
That would make your average coach-potato quite angry.

Its like the GE all over again, only worse. We cant let UKIP votes give Khan the keys to the Town Hall

Unorthodox theory: Labour has been paid a fortune to perform the most elaborate "What's the worst that could happen?" Dr. Pepper advert in history.
It will have to be a redux: they already took Dr Pepper's shilling when they elected Ed Miliband....
For us oldies, I keep picturing the moment Dear Leader Corbyn is elected...air on a G string plays in the background..Tony Blair lights up a Hamlet...and smiles.

When are the other results going to be announced?
Conference organising committee etc.

Turnout by section in London: Members 81%, Registered Supporters 92%, Affiliated Supporters 45%.
V high turnout for the registered supporters (which you would expect).

Oh, and on topic - Matt-esque.
Good cartoon though.
Laugh at the stupidity of Labour, and they are stupid.
Or cry because there isn't likely to be any effective opposition, for some time to come.
Labour, the truly, deeply, stupid party.
Is everyone in shock, or out buying popcorn for tomorrow’s second instalment of madness?
If Corbyn does land a blow will Labour cheer him?
I am very pleased that she has failed to win the nomination.
The stupefaction of the common or garden moderate labour MP can only be guessed at.
Either toe the line of the Dear Leader or.....defect....?

True. Thing is, after years of robotically mouthing the labour platitudes, scores of labour MPs are going to have to actually make a decision.
Delicious.

Blairites going in to bat for Corbyn craziness on telly?
Its just too wonderful to contemplate
It feels very likely, but we can't be certain just yet.
I still cannot believe it could be that bad, and won't until I see it happen.

Nasty man who won't cope with the pressure. At some point he'll lose his temper publicly and in a spectacular way.
ZG is in favour of Zac Island.
And SK is in favour of Khan Island.
to lose your party once may be regarded as a misfortune to lose it twice looks like carelessnes
That would make your average coach-potato quite angry.
