I love how clearly and frankly Julie addresses the points. She's fearless and we need need more voices like hers. We're all so fed up with wishy washy excuses for all of the issues regarding gender and race and rape gangs.

Going to get Julie's book after this interview

[davidm]

Oh, I could have listened to you both talking for hours! Thank you

[dalriadaskillen]

Thank you for speaking with the wonderful and always excellent Julie Bindel about the grooming & rpe gangs, a subject which she knows a great deal about due to her diligent work speaking to victims, survivors & professionals who work on this area.

[tracydavies-tklm]

Thank you, yes, it's a business. They are making money from abusing children.

Part of criminal networks.

Yes, change the charging as well. Yes long sentences from the judicial. Not 6 years for child abuse

[owd]

Great interview as always. PS-would love to see you on Bluesky, Stephen!

So you both refer to Tommy Robinson's criminality, but Julie justifies herself breaking the law 'a fair few times' and tries to distinguish her crimes from Robinson's.
Some significant criticism of Robinson is justified, but I can't help thinking that some of it is just class-based snobbery from lower middle-class people.
Robinson is direct, up-and-at-em, and very much an agitator, which is off-putting to the Islington dinner party set. Just watch his series, The Rape of Britain, which is extremely direct and confrontational.

[ianpalfrey]

Those on the left are saying that this is a far-right dog whistle. Many cultural relativists believe we should stop talking about the issue. They say that this is their culture, and we should not judge their cultural practices even if we find them objectionable.

[MarinaE-mowy]

Well that was great, thanks Julie and Stephen, worth it for both your parting shots alone 😆And look after your health Julie.

[radicalcartoons]

So, Julie, when will we see you at Reformers Tree?

[LizPanton]

Did Julie mean to reference Oldham here, rather than Telford? The Telford Inquiry was good and the results of the Two Year Review are very promising.

[scarba]

Am loving the beard :) great interview 👍

[lynnepeacock]

Big sorry if I’m wrong but at about 18mins when Julie says Telford does she maybe mean Oldham?As that has been the town now under the spotlight? I thought Telford had an enquiry.
Thankyou to both of you for this.

[vixlogic]

Why is it that nobody researches Tommy Robinson properly?

[Eris]

More of this.

Most of that stuff happened 12-20 years ago and there have at 4 inquires already, (yes it still happens but that's a job for the Police.)

This is going on right now.

"Senior civil servants and ministers spent more than a decade covering up evidence that links the actions of a government department with hundreds, and probably thousands, of deaths of disabled people who relied on the social security system."

"Documents secured through freedom of information requests, inquest reports, and investigations by bereaved family members show how the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) destroyed incriminating records, failed to share crucial evidence with its own independent reviewers and grieving relatives, and even lied to a coroner."

The Post Office Horizon Scandal, (another cover-up, ) and Mid Staff, ("The appalling suffering of patients, ") cover-up and other stuff as well happened at more or the less the same time.

This is all downstream of feminism and left wing politics. I do not like the conglation of an Islamic, pakistani issue being conflated with a far more isolated issue of western misogyny.
