  That has nothing to do with it.

  Actually it has - which is why I mentioned it.

  I never said that I approved of the laws in China. - DD

  You never said you disagreed with China's totalitarian regime either. Not one word. You blithely blamed the victims.

  Stating that challenging oppression has consequences is hardly an ethical insight.

  Should the full story come out there would be people in very high places implicated. This scandal should be front page news, but instead many people who talk about it are being de-platformed - banned from youtube facebook etc - RB

  That is not true. It has frequently been the subject of newspaper articles and even a thorough TV drama-documentary.

  TR did not do the heavy-lifting on this subject. He exploited it.

  The trial was one of a series of ongoing prosecutions of Muslim rape gangs. The scale of the scandal is staggering.

  The judge banned reporting because the police and CPS were still preparing connected cases against more culprits. TR jeopardised those ongoing cases. The hero in this case was NOT TR but a small number of youth workers and MPs who challenged the senior police officers and social workers who were too politically correct to open up this can of worms.

  TR crossed a line, not in the interests of exposing child rapists, but to make himself the centre of attention.

  At TR's initial arrest the judge behaved outrageously by banning journalists from reporting it and by holding the trial within hours. That is how totalitarian governments behave. In the UK we do not arrest people in secret. His decision was soon overturned. It was this action that gave the impression of a state cover-up when in fact the state are clearly on a mission to try every Muslim child-rapist it can find.

  I do believe TR is in danger if he goes back inside.

  jehovah’s witnesses were drilled with the idea that all governments are from satan and that we should have nothing to do with anything involving support of the government, voting, or political talk for one party or another.. now that you are out, is patriotism important to you?

  is voting important to you?

  are you supportive of your country?.

  DD - Are all laws worthy of respect? How about the Jim Crow laws or South Africa's apartheid laws?

  How about the 1 million or more Uighur Muslims who are locked up in concentration camps for 'crimes' like praying to Allah?

  Yes. I don't know if it's sensible to say you are proud of of your country of birth because that was a matter of chance, but I am very pleased that I live in the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland to give it its proper name.

  Despite a growing trend to trash everything to do with western democracies there are few places I would rather live. At its best 'Britishness' is an admirable set of characteristics.

  I am also a big fan of the USA and its vital contribution to freedom.

  Will the gb now send funds or a lawyer to defend them?

  China is a totalitarian state. The law is whatever the party says it is.

  China is an oppressive regime. An estimated 1 million Uighur Muslims are being held in prison camps in Xinjuing province.

  It's only a matter of time before it takes control of Hong Kong by force.
