What is wrong with us, we are reading the same things on an almost daily basis and we are not shouting from the rooftops that we wont allow this to happen anymore. How many more childrens lives are to be destroyed before we turn off x factor and wake up to the damage that has been done to our nation by allowing mass immigration of cultures that have no respect for our children, our way of life or us. Today the parents of girls who flew to be jihadist brides are at westminster and our own girls, failed for years dont even make the national news properly. We need to be vigilant and report suspicion of grooming, challenge it if we see it, and hope to god our nation wakes up in time to save itself.
If what Boris said about them was right it should be broadcast the world over. They should all be castrated, the lot of them or handed hefty doses of Chinese water torture. Only by adopting extreme forms of punishment for these scum will we begin to rid them from society. Hang ’em high I say.
Look at the name of the offender, and you just want to know why we are letting these vile men live in our Country!!!!!!!!. even Nantwich is not safe…
Not really a surprise I guess Boris Johnson was right, they are a bunch of pathetic losers’ who can’t talk to girls of their own age and have normal relationships and therefore form peodophile grooming gangs. Although the girls are children they target the kuffar to make this legit in their eyes.. So how do we resolve this as deportation can not be considered as they will no doubt have been born here and that would upset the liberal leftys. Well it’s simple, they can serve their sentence and then give them the option, of physical castration or voluntary deportation if they hold duel nationality. Result bye bye peodophile grooming gangs.
So they were all English nationals then ?
