Our paedophilia hysteria makes life in Britain a misery
Article here. Excerpt:
'This seedy and weird prurience really became noticeable at the start of the decade, when mobs in places like Portsmouth descended on suspected child molesters who had allegedly been placed in the area, whipped up by hysterical tabloid newspapers. What struck me was the site of 8 and 9-year-old girls in boob tubes carrying banners that said “Kill the pidofiles!” Only in Britain – a child dressed like a lap-dancer protesting against paedophilia.
The paedo-mania was an exercise in displacement by the British working-class, who had recently adopted wholesale fatherlessness and a consumer youth culture that glorified in child sexualisation. Mysterious nonces in dirty macs became suitable bogey figures, when sexual abuse of children was far, far more likely to happen in broken homes at the hands of a mother’s boyfriend.'
As good as it is, maybe the writer of this piece should do some more reading on the topic of rates of perpetration of sexual abuse against children in the UK.
