What has this got to do with my comment?

Because they are attention seeking idiots.
As much as I understand their motivation, they repeatedly do stuff that cause problems for every day people.
Go find the people who run oil companies, the lobbyists that enable them and the politicians that take their bribes and do it to them, and I am all in.
I didn't mean to suggest that all child-abuse victims went on to become abusers.
Lot of people here saying 'well duh'.
The target audience for UKIP, Reform, BNP, and whatever new name they come up with are gullible, and do not think critically.
People need to be reminded constantly that these parties are filled with fucking awful examples of the worst of humanity.
It's a difficult question.
A very large percentage of paedophiles are victims themselves. Children don't have any characteristics that arouse me, and to dwell on the thought males me feel very uncomfortable indeed.
If a person is attracted to a child in a sexual manner, then for want of a better way of putting it, there has to be something wrong with that. Arguably that person needs help rather than incarceration.
But then there are the victims of the paedophile. They deserve justice, and children deserve to be safe.
Maybe MJ was a private and quirky troubled artist who was guilty of poor optics. Maybe he was a serial serial offender, who was enabled BT paid off security, parents etc.
We will never know what MJ did or did not do with those children, but they were failed by multiple adults, regardless. If you let your kid play on a main road you are a terrible parent, whether they get hit by a car or not. Every person that did not intervene, allowed that child to continue playing is as responsible as the parent.
The vote is for a fascist or not a fascist; it doesn't seem like a hard choice really.
My Dad let me gamble my pocket money away on a fruit machine once.
I begged him to let me play it, so he agreed as long as it was my money. He explained to me how it would work, and what would happen, but I didn't care; I had seen people win loads of money. Obviously I lost it all and was devastated.
I very quickly realised that gambling is rigged, and it's a mugs' game.
You couldn't
