Grooming ring probe at Glasgow’s four corners after teenagers ‘exploited for sex’ by groups of men

A PROBE has been launched into an alleged grooming ring targeting teenagers in Glasgow’s city centre.

Girls as young as 14 are thought to have been targeted by men hanging around the four corners area of the city – at the junction of Argyle Street and Union Street.

Officers are investigating the claims after relatives of one of the victims contacted the authorities.

A social work source told the Evening Times the area is “rife” with child exploitation problems […]

The relative said: “This really is just our worst nightmare, it’s this Rochdale and Rotherham-type stuff but it’s happening here in Glasgow in a big way.

It’s happening in a lot of places in a big way, because that’s what they do. To argue otherwise is to argue against reality.

I SEE that Iraqi Kurds held an independence referendum yesterday. Turnout was high and a strong vote for independence is expected. No doubt the UN and democracy fans will back a strong statement for self-determination, yes?

The WaPo reports that “U.N. Secretary General António Guterres issued a statement on Monday lamenting the “potentially destabilizing effects” of the vote.” Meanwhile, the BBC says that “The US state department said it was “deeply disappointed” that the vote went ahead.”

Oh, it turns out that the “freedom n democracy” crowd is full of crap.

This past few days I’ve avoided my home here. I can not and will not debate the IRA/SF there are those here that support terrorists, and when the subject comes up I don’t play well with others.

That however has not been the main reason, the main reason is I was on the Platform of Twits. Twitter erupted this weekend over the Disgrace that is the National Football League of America.

Baseball used to be the National pastime, but that faded many decades ago and was replaced by Football. Football owns a day of the week in the US. The majority of the homes in America have “The Game on” on Sunday and Monday Night.

The Organization is owned by Billionaires and makes Billions. It pays their Players 100s of Millions of Dollars. The worst players in the League make over a Million Dollars a year in one season.

A scumbag crappy Quarterback Colin Kaepernick started a Problem LAST YEAR. He sucks at his job, so he didn’t get to play. Instead of working on his game to improve it, he decided it was because he was Black and picked up the Banner of Black Lives Matter, a group that calls for the Assassination of Police Officers. Wearing Socks with Pigs dressed as Cops and kneeling during the National Anthem.

Because of the fact that he is crappy Quarterback and the Controversy he was causing he was let go by his team and no other team picked him up. He is now what we call a free agent.

A few players picked up his cause and started to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem. This has pissed the fans off. The country does not like or support BLM, the country does not like it when Millionaires Protest in support of them and say they are kneeling because Blacks are oppressed. Especially since this started when White America Elected a Black Man as President and millionaires are disgracing our Flag “because they are oppressed”.

Friday President Trump said in a speech that the Team owners should throw these Bums off the field for their actions and the issue exploded. Now keep in mind, the NFL fined players thousands of Dollars for wearing shoes that supported the victims of 9/11, they forbade the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a Special Star in support of the Police officers that were assassinated.

Yet they stand in UNITY in Support of the Poster Boy for an Organization that calls for the Assassination of Police Officers, and they do it on Gold Star Sunday.

Gold Star Sunday is supposed to be the day dedicated to the Mothers of Fallen American Soldiers. That is why every game had a huge ceremony before the Game with Giant American Flags unfurled on the field by members of our Military, to show support for the men and woman that have given their lives in the Service of our Country. Instead as an organization they Spit in the Eye of those Gold Star Moms and every Patriotic American.

The NFL chose to Stand/Kneel with those that call for the Murder of Cops and spit in the face of the Mothers of fallen Heroes.

The Country is Outraged.

Well, in all the furore about ‘free speech’, and of course the closing down of ‘controversial speakers by the antifa movement, especially at UC Berkely, an online news outlet has capitalised on the forced limiting of access to the meeting by offering free air time to the leading proponents of the Free Speech activists, who are, after all, only asking for their rights to be observed under American Constitutional Law.

The antifa bunch, well-orchestrated and seemingly well-funded, can mobilise a small army, all masked, helmeted and cloaked in aggressive anonymity, and the University, afraid to allow people to exercise their rights to free speech on their campus, have disgracefully caved in to the Left-wing mob, and either curtailed, or closed down debate, which, some would argue, is the whole purpose of a University, in America or in Great Britain.

At least one broadcaster has literally embellished the belief and stance which governs the right to make your views known, either from the left or of the right; and I wish ‘good luck’ to the One America News Network in their call to ‘Let the people speak’.

We have seen the same activity in Great Britain, with Jewish students targeted specially, but also with speakers such as Comedian Kate Smurthwaite (who) was booked to do a gig at Goldsmiths, University of London on Monday evening when she noticed online reports of a picket by members of the feminist society. Their objections were not to her show, but her politics. Smurthwaite is a proponent of the Nordic model of sex work, a legal approach that criminalises punters but not sex workers themselves. For some students, that made her “whorephobic” (whatever that translates as ) and unfit to do a gig on campus. 

Mind you, I am not stating that Caroline Spelman should be given a free pass herself, as she tried, but ultimately failed, to choke off personal debate about her druggie son! Jonny, on the other hand, seems to have single-handedly cornered the UK supply of  St. Tropez tanning fluid. As to what other products he has been storing, I am unaware of these items; so I could not possibly comment.

IT’S Labour Party Conference time in Brighton. So what’s hot on the south coast?

Excited about our #Lab17 fringe about to kick off: “Is Artificial Intellligence Sexist?”

Hillary’s old friend is no doubt reflecting on his errors right about now –

Ex-New York congressman Anthony Weiner burst into tears as he was sentenced to 21 months in jail for sending sexually explicit messages to an underage girl […]

But in sentencing Weiner, Judge Cote said: “This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment.”

Yeah, I know, no sympathy and all that. But nearly two years in the slammer? For getting a bit naughty online with a 15 year old? Strewth, there was a time in America when alot of girls would have been married by then.

“But what if she was your daughter, Pete?” I hear someone ask. If she was my daughter I’d have sorted the matter out personally. But the judiciary is supposed to take the personal out of it. I suppose that the Judge took his previous into account. Even then two years feels like a stretch to me. I’m not going soft on crime, and if I ever go soft on commies then cart me off to the loony bin, because I’d have lost my mind. Yes, we must protect our womenfolk too. I bow to no-one there.

It’s just that Weiner isn’t a convicted paedophile, and chucking him inside for that long seems a bit harsh.

A disturbing photo (and comment) Tweeted by a gentleman named Mark Collet says it all really.

But much more disturbing is the reply photo, complete with inset comment.

As an aside; although living only some twenty-odd miles from Seaham, I have never seen this remarkable statue. The best that I can offer is a view of the DLI bugler sited in the Market Place.

IT’S the German General Election today. It’s hardly going to be a thriller. Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union will be the largest party and she will remain Chancellor. But two interesting questions need to be resolved. One is that the government will be a coalition and we won’t know how that will look for a while.

The other is how the moderate Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party fares. It was only founded four years ago, but it’s tipped to become the third-largest party in the Bundestag. Lord knows how the country needs them to do well. German political parties are herd animals which stick close to official opinion on most things. The AfD bucks the rest and dares to speak for Germans. To establishment opinion this makes them “extreme”. By any normal measure it makes them moderate.

So I’m sure I speak for all associated with ATW when I say good luck to all German patriots standing and voting today.

In these days when all the comment, along with all the news from America is how awful the President was, is and will be; when no-one remembers the good news; I thought I would point to at least one really ‘Good News’ item which has been virtually ignored by both the majority of the rating-seekers of tv, along with the failing, fading MSM.

Decades ago, in 1969; a bomb was detonated in a small Jerusalem supermarket, killing two Israelis, Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner. Rasmea Odeh, along with her co-conspirator Aisha Odeh were eventually convicted of the murders and the bombing, with Rasmeah Odeh serving ten years before being released as part of a prisoner exchange. She later arrived in America, claiming she was just another Palestinian fleeing from the harsh rule of the Israelis.

She fled to America but she lied on her Visa application, and again on her Naturalisation application, and that was her eventual downfall, because America’s legal system sometimes runs very slowly, but eventually separates the sewage from the ordinary gravel. True to her ‘cause’, our Rasmea had become influential as associate director of the Arab American Action Network. Because she was in the limelight, her fame also brought her to stand trial, accused of Immigration Fraud.

Although not actually within the purview of 1600, Pennysylvania Avenue, it is a signal that murderous terrorists, killers, liars and the like will almost always face their moment of justice, despite the continuous battering of Palestinian-friendly propaganda to the contrary; the convicted Rasmea Odeh has been deported, despite the headlines such as ‘Palestinian Activist deported’, coming from the august Associated Press. They seem to have swallowed the line (and lie) that Odeh was just a bit player, sexually tortured to get a confession that she planned the bombing of the small Israeli SuperSol supermarket in Jerusalem, and the attempted bombing of the British Consulate in 1969.

Despite her frequently-appealed American trial, she eventually agreed a plea deal, was formally stripped of her fraudulent American citizenship, was fined $1,000, and was sent off through the deportation process; but of course flew out of Chicago still smirking.

Her two victims are buried on a windswept hillside terrace in the massive Har HaMenuchot Cemetery on the western edge of Jerusalem, 1969 terror victims Edward Joffe and Leon (“Arie”) Kanner are buried together, next to Edward’s parents Roslyn and Hyman Joffe. Unlike Rasmea, they did not have the luxury of appeal, but there again, their relatives can rejoice that those young lives are now remembered for the resilience and truth of American Justice.
