Northern Ireland #22 The Good Friday Arraignment

[Wee Nora]

Jeez was wondering if things had gotten that bad but why are these things available to children? Isn’t there age restrictions for a reason.

These books are aimed at children, written in simplistic language etc so technically that’s the “appropriate” readership although I know I would never want my children reading them. The video they done about fisting I can imagine my boys laughing their heads off at it tbh

It’s crazy there’s people fighting for this to be part of the school curriculum , shows the state of the world.

Did you watch the videos? It’s a parody Their “story time” videos are made by concerned parents raising awareness of what kids have access to in public libraries. They’re campaigning for books with sexualised content aimed at children to be removed from libraries.

Parodies like this do more harm than good because the frothing at the mouth brigade take nonsense like that as read, which only fuels misinformation.

Agree to an extent but the companies that they bring in to do the teaching are very secretive and won’t allow parents in some cases to see the curriculum which is not transparent.

It doesn’t read as nonsense?…Our schools don’t seem to be infiltrated yet! But not for the want of trying from certain political parties.

I’m not sure very many children go to the library on their own anyway, the onus is on the parents and carers to monitor what material their child has access to. The same way we put parental controls on their devices. If they start teaching this stuff in schools then I wouldn’t consent to it. Nobody of any age needs to read about the gory details of fisting

It doesn’t seem to be only libraries Nora.

I know but that parody account is pretty counter productive to be fair. If they don’t want children to know about things like fisting then maybe don’t upload a video to YouTube explaining it in graphic detail a child could easily stumble on that video thinking it’s a normal bedtime story video. I don’t want children exposed to that nonsense either but they might want to rethink their methods.

I was not prepared for the paragraph about the baby. My God

Apologies I probably should have put a trigger warning on it.
Horrifying read

English local elections on today. Seen a bit of whinging on twitter about them being asked to show ID. I’m amazed they didn’t have to have ID before now to vote. Obviously it should be cheap and accessible to get an ID.

Unfortunately once you hand your kid a phone they’re open to all sorts , don’t know if I’d want schools enforcing it.

duck I would actually love that. I love a bit of jazz and am fascinated by this special mince obsession but I’ve already made plans that I now want to get out of

I’ll be interested to see how this unfolds. Misconduct but not gross or criminal Police believed a murderers account and closed it as a suicide with no actual evidence of suicide and very suspicious circumstances including unexplained injuries. Screams of laziness to me but I’m hoping nothing more sinister was at play. Regardless, they failed Katie from the outset and should be held to account.

If they are saying not gross or criminal I’m guessing it is either laziness that can’t be proven or incompetence perhaps.

None of that sits well with me and should not be accepted by the public of Northern Ireland. These are the people we call to protect us. They people who have a DUTY to serve the public, who attest that they will uphold the law. Yet they took the word of a convicted abuser of women, in suspicious circumstances. Massive red flag to anyone. If Katie were my daughter, I would not rest until the PSNI took action to ensure a victim of rape and murder would not be failed to this extent again. Another example of how we cannot have confidence in the PSNI.

Controversial, but it could come down to the religion of the perp and victim ? Wouldn’t be the first time

I’m unsure of that because Creswell didn’t have a religion as such and he was basically the devil so even the most basic of checks on him should have raised concerns.

“Assume nothing, believe nobody, challenge everything” yet the PSNI accepted the account of a convicted violent abuser with no evidence of a suicide.

The officers concerned deserve to be dismissed as they clearly have frighteningly poor judgement (to put it mildly) but that won’t happen. We can only be thankful he didn’t murder anyone else in the 3 years he was walking the streets since murdering Katie, but I wouldn’t be confident he wasn’t abusing women during that time.
