Your proposed action?

[utrickytrees] 08/1/2025 10:04

Aaah this is the point of my post earlier Scruff. It's a documentary about an investigation into an allegation of rape and trafficking which highlights the reaction of the public to a mischievous social media post by the claimant. Essentially it's an establishment sponsored production intended expose the implications of incorrect social media tittle tattle. I know there have been a couple of documentaries exposing the short comings of implicated rape case local authorities over the years but nothing like this. It's a must watch, extremely well done no expense spared offering which underlines the priorities of the establishment imo.

First have an inquiry...then a new so called national independent inquiry...then an inquiry of the inquiry...you get the drift...

[scruff1] 08/1/2025 09:51

I take it then that there weren't any actual rapes and therefore no inquiry is needed ?

Why is the doc called 'fake' grooming?

[utrickytrees] 08/1/2025 07:43

Watch the first 2 episodes of C4's 'fake grooming' documentary last night and have to acknowledge that it's a fine piece of work. It will certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons regarding the ongoing spatt between Farage & Musk, it will be interesting to see developments in the coming weeks. The elephant in the room for me however, is comparative lack of coverage of 'actual' rape gangs by C4 & others in the MSM. If the investigative media had put a bit more effort into coverage of the cases as they happened and the complete dereliction of duty of local authorities/ police & social services it would have raised public awareness and possibly acted as a deterrent to would be perpetrators. Good as it is, this documentary has all the hallmarks of being establishment sponsored to smooth the waters. It's actually extremely divisive.

Dust In The Eyes: Kiev Tried To Divert Attention From Failing On All Fronts

Support SouthFront


n the Kursk Region, the Russian Armed Forces have been holding back the Ukrainian troops’ onslaught in the Sudzha – Bolshoye Soldatskoye direction for the second day. Kiev repeatedly threw infantry and armoured vehicles into the battle, but did not succeed. The Ukrainian side lost at least 35 armored vehicles, including Western-made tanks, as well as more than a few hundred personnel in those attacks.

Ukrainian soldiers captured in the Berdin farmstead area said that up to 50 percent of their infantry were prisoners or forcibly mobilized persons. The Russian Armed Forces took advantage of the adversary’s distraction by these politically motivated actions and launched an offensive. They managed to enter Malaya Loknya on the northern flank and advance in Makhnovka, a couple of kilometers from Sudzha. The Russians are also completing the assault on the village of Russkoye Porechnoye.

To crown it all, in the Kursk direction, there has been an unprecedented number of combat sorties by Russian aircraft. Bombing raids from the air are going on non-stop.

In the Toretsk direction, fighting along the main streets has shifted to the western and northern parts of the city, where the remaining Ukrainian units are holding their defenses. They are deploying many drones to strike Russian assault groups, but the current situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is unenviable. We can expect Toretsk to fall soon.

East of Pokrovsk, Russian forces are making their way to the road junction north of Vozdvizhenka while fighting continues in neighboring Elizavetovka and Baranivka. The Russians are trying to cut off the Pokrovsk supply routes from the west.

Kurakhove has been completely captured by the Russian army. A “pocket” appears again to the west of the city, which causes panic in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The fighting in this direction continues. Russian troops have already taken over Petropavlovka, and have expanded their zone of control south-west of Zelenivka.

The moral and psychological condition of the Ukrainian army has substantially worsened. Case in point: the desertion of 50 Ukrainian servicemen from the Anna Kievskaya brigade while they were training in France. On their return home to Ukraine, another 1,700 men left the brigade unauthorized. Amid this, the Verkhovna Rada announced that the mobilization age in Ukraine would be lowered to 18 years in 2025.
