We should be apoplectic with rage about this

People in many cultures historically married much younger than today. Stop trying to use this to fuel hate at whichever groups you are unhappy with.

There are many places in Africa still where children are married off at the first sign of puberty.

There is a huge gulf between that culture and the culture of predation and abuse by large sections of some communities in this country; that includes some of the establishment untouchables too.

What I find absolutely amazing is that there is not a single person in this whole country deemed fit to chair the enquiry over the historic establishment issues. So much so that Labour are suggesting we go abroad to find one.

There are plenty of people who could do it - just none of them are mates with the 'right people' - because you could argue the 'right people' are half to blame.

But the fact the existing person stepped down when it seemed the gravy train she was on might have meant she may have to do some work and be accountable tells us all we need to know.

You did see 'allow' in the above didn't you ?

So you've never seen a post about scots being alcoholic, workshy or violent or a post about americans being fat and loud ? You need me to find one for you ?

Heaven forfend!

NAT is notorious for his inconsistent moderation. Some people think he's a twunt - can't think why.

Seeing as you are from Manc does that mean you sport a $h11te pudding bowl hair do and stooped hooded top

and say things like

Manchesto?

I won't permit this discussion to cross the line into racism - under particular scrutiny will come any generalisations about Muslims or Pakistanis.

Why is that, when you allow them about other ethnic groups ?

Are your really so stupid? (I don't think so, I just think you're just stirring). Have you not noticed that there are certain individuals who post here who are clearly racist? That is who the warning is aimed at. Further, the warning is not that generalisations will be stamped upon or that they are, in and off themselves, racist, but rather they would come under more scrutiny. But you knew that as well.

Fact is, you and a few others don't like the ways the forum is moderated, and every now and then feel some compulsion to whine about it. Tough. If you don't like it, feel free to post elsewhere.

Frankly, I think the topic is too serious to by hijacked by a racist scum.

This topic hasn't been hijacked by "a racist scum" - that isn't down to your moderation or penchant for editing people's posts.

I would venture that most people on this forum are reasonably intelligent enough to not engage with blatantly racist posters thus enabling you to safely wield your ban hammer.

There's no need for your blatant "you will respect my authoritah"!

The stereo type for the town where I was born is far worse, believe me!

I'm not 'whining'. Just seeking clarification of inconsistency.

So, this serious topic is OK for discussion as long as the race element is completely ignored. OK boss...thanks. I understand now
