Now, It's Death Threats In Rochdale By-Election

[Khandro]

How far is this going to go, and how long before something is done?

This will end in tears eventually.

^^^ Especially if George Galloway gets in! 😊

Social media was a Pandora's Box that enables these sort of threats to come from anonymous cowards. It's shameful & dangerous.

I'm sure experts are tracking our hero and he'll be brought to justice without fear or favour.

Well I think I'm sure.

[royfromaus]

For God's sake why haven't the police told him to shut up and go into hiding?

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, saw that last night on YouTube.

 

(Unsure the hero will be brought to justice though.)

[dave50]

Left wing activists are the most intolerant, at the same time preaching against hate.

[Deskdiary]

^^^Funny that, isn't it. Everybody will be OK, but only if we all have what they consider to be the 'correct' opinions. Such is their intolerance and narcissism that they simply cannot accept other people may have different, although perfectly reasonable, opinions. 

[Khandro]

Evil stalks the land. But how can this kind of thing not be traceable? Here, mobile phones have to be registered to an individual, similarly my internet connection.

I suppose this pond-life would be one of the first to complain about 'hate crime' is it came towards him or his cohort.

[ToraToraTora]

All pretty standard stuff from TROP.

[Old_Geezer]

Others can have wrong opinions if they wish; but there are appropriate limits to how anyone acts as a result. Many seem not to have these limits or if they do they are so wide and inclusive it's as if they didn't exist. And the bigger issue is that the police will allow it if clamping down seems onerous due to the size of the mob.

I guess you are not an advocate of free speech then?

[youngmafbog]

Khandro, nothing will be done.  Even deaths will not prompt anything to be done.  The elephant in the room is now too big.

[naomi24]

^That sounds about right.  The result of complacency.

[Spungle]

This is what happens when grooming gangs get rattled.

[Stableford]

Wonder how the multicultural experiment is actually going in Rochdale?  Lovely to see diversity in action, and the grooming gangs were 'just a few random bad apples' oh look and there's a flying pig.

unlike AB for example where the mods make sure er that you can say what you want without fear or favour !

If some one wishes to demonstrate " Parliament shall not be Parliament any more" (*) - my own view is that it is lawful to do so

( not within parliaments environs, treason felony act 1848 after the Chartists)

* example used in a different sense in Denning judgement on the common market 1973

erm I have missed something - - so the grooming gangs have tried to groom Danczuk ( wasnt he chucked out " MP, who was suspended in 2015 after he sent explicit messages to 17-year-old girl, is said to be seeking advice over a decision.") into being pro-Islamic and have failed

it be complex in Rochdale it be

 

[Gromit]

Simon Danczuk rears his head above the parapet. You may remember the name from when he was a Labour MP and expelled for explicit texts to a young girl. An having to pay back £11,000 he'd been paid in expenses.

The assumption on this thread the grooming gangs are responsible is done without any evidence at all. There is plenty of evidence for people of all parties to not like Danczuk.

Rochdale is not all terraced houses and town centre; there are areas & villages outside which are included in the ward.  Those people must be thoroughly cheesed off by not being able to vote for whichever political party whose policies they like and being faced with this political nightmare.  Effectively they have been disenfranchised. Just saying.
