War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Thank you for your kind words.

You are trolling someone you know to be having mental issues. Just how does that feel? Do you think it makes you a better or worse person? What would your parents/partner/children/friends think of what you're doing?

You are trolling someone you know to be having mental issues. You're not even getting to me as you want. Don't you think you should retire from trolling?

If someone asked me an honest question on I'd answer it with detail and honesty. Could you answer all the above questions or would you run back under the bridge dancing about your great win?

I know the first roll of troll club is I Always Win but you just don't. You just have to lie to yourself that you do.

I'm not going to go back and correct any typos or missed words. Normally I do, but right now I'm just too tired to bother.

You sound tired and emotional.

I haven't looked into the details of the Smith case but from the reading I've done in the past the allegations I've heard about have all been about him spanking boys. I think he was working as a teacher or in some other job at a school.

While we're hyper-sensitive right now about all this. The fact is that hundreds of kids will have been spanked in schools. Many of them will have just been because the kid had been naughty. The problem though is that obviously some teachers/school workers might have also been spanking because it was something they wanted to do for their own gratification, and not just to instill discipline.

Have there been allegations of more serious child abuse aimed at Smith or is that it? If that's it, then IMO the cops at the time might have just been of the mind to kill all investigation rather than let him be brought down over something they considered bogus. If there are more serious allegations this obviously changes things, but I haven't seen anything. But I haven't been looking either.

The MP who is making a huge deal about Smith. I think he's from Rochdale, got a Slavic(?) name. While his campaigning might be completely honest and above board and he could genuinely be someone who is trying to right a wrong, there's also the possibility that he's simply using this to make a name for himself in politics. That suspicion is also arisen in me in that guy who had the famous disappearing dossier. The new campaigning MP always strikes me as being just that little bit odd and his Mrs is even more so. I know she recently came out with her own abuse tale and she's been to the police about it because her mother says she's lying. But the weird thing about her complaint is that the dates that she alleges the abuse are when she was aged 6-11 and the boy was 11-16. While it was certainly *something* if it did happen, it's not a clear case of child abuse and I don't even know how the legal system could even handle it.


Smith was never employed as a teacher. He gained access to kids by being a councillor and later the Mayor of Rochdale, subsequently becoming a school governor and a patron of local organisations for young people. He took his role as a governor so seriously that he dished out corporal punishment in children's homes round Rochdale and got no enjoyment from it whatsoever. Honest!.

Not difficult to find out facts, is it?

I am at a total loss as to how Alison Saunders came to the view that to further investigate the accusations against Greville Janner would not be "in the public interest". What about the interest of his alleged vicitms?

Supposedly too ill to face further police questioning, he was well enough to attend the HoL before these latest allegations surfaced

While I am prepared to accept that in the end he will be too ill to stand trial (dementia is a cruel illness) isn't usually the job of a judge to decide if someone is fit to stand trial?

He was fit enough to vote in HoL on 26 November 2013.

His dementia must've been a particularly rapid-onset variant
