Oh yeah, the involvement of the then charming Thames Valley Police chief, Sara Thornton, and the Oxfordshire County Council chief exec, Joanna Simons (on her £1/4million ann.salary), plus a host of others (who resided at the time of these bds in the mugshots doing their evil deeds) and who did sweet fa, none even having the guts to resign, and not a single one of those involved from the council to police were disciplined!

Thornton disappeared to become Head of the National Police Chiefs' Council. THAT tells you all you need to know.

Yup, should take a leaf from the private sector, pay them off with millions, just for them to pop up again in a similar role on more money, somewhere else!

The thing is, the private sector [i]do[i/] get rid of people. If another firm is daft enough to then hire them, that's another matter, but in the case of the public sector, very little ever seems to happen, and when it does, it's like whack-a-mole; they turn up elsewhere in the PS.

That's what exactly happens in the private sector as well. 'Reward for failure' seems to be the phrase I remember, and applies to council and police chiefs equally as well as to the many crap, millionaire executive types in the private sector.

They're not rewarded from the same pot. Granted, companies are dumb enough to employ serial fk ups, but the same shareholders that are paying the cost. With the PS it seems like lessons are all too often not learned, despite the soundbites to the contrary.

The regularilty with which it goes on now is reaching the point where it's not even newsworthy anymore. Another 9 Muslim names in the list though to further debunk the claims from certain quarters that they are just "isolated cases" and "the majority of Muslims are law-abiding" rolleyes.

It does make you wonder when and how will it all end.

If you listen to what the police say, if you listen to what the Home Secretary says, there is the impression of a very long, drawn-out campaign in this area. Very difficult, I imagine, for anyone to know how far through it we are, other than to say it is very much in the public interest that the activities of these gangs - because often it is not just sexual abuse that they are involved in - are investigated and prosecuted.

The County Lines campaign is evidence of the breadth of criminal activity in terms of it preying on the vulnerable. There is no doubt that this parallel campaign touches many common points of criminality to the specific CSA investigations: https://www.fearless.org/en/campaigns/county-lines

I've mentioned previously that I have witnessed the effects of the County Lines type violence through a young lad I know. I'm proud to say he evaded being recruited and actually assisted the police in their investigation. The tactics (see the link above) are barbaric and chilling. At the time, the County Lines concept was very, very new with the police, but even back then, they were incredibly supportive and clued-up; they knew precisely what was happening. Now the campaign is fully underway, I've no doubt they have even better means to piece evidence together.

Yes. It does not give the impression that their peer group take the law or the offences in the light that the rest of us would, but then that's often the case with criminal scum.
