Hint for you, try responding to one of my posts without editing and deleting all the content leaving a snippet out of context. Another hint for you. I am not and have never been a social worker nor have I quoted any in the reports I linked to. Lastly, substantiate your claims. Or try adding something worthwhile to the topic

Thats a 3 week old link, try again and this topic is about British troops preparing to fight in Europe

You're dreaming if you think China can supply airplane parts for Russia's Boeing and Airbus fleet

Of course its not in Russia's interest to be transparent on its economy and figures. But here have a read of the facts: Western sanctions on Russia are working, an energy embargo now is a costly distraction https://voxeu.org/article/western-sanctions-russia-are-working-energy-embargo-now-costly-distraction Strangling the Bear? The Sanctions on Russia after Four Months https://www.csis.org/analysis/strangling-bear-sanctions-russia-after-four-months Still, Lada is having a revival with its sanction busting model all with Russian parts.................???? "The buzz about AvtoVAZ's Lada Granta Classic -- priced to sell at 678,300 rubles ($12,500) -- is about what it doesn't have: No airbags. No antilock brakes. No electronic stability system. No pretensioners to make the seat belts work properly. No GPS. An engine that complies with emissions standards from 26 years ago." https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-economy-western-sanctions-twilight-zone/31911576.html

Many of the victims were already in care, in childrens homes. Childrens homes in inner cities are not an ideal place for children/young people who have been abused before or taken away from their families for other reasons. They are obviously not secure and the residents are free to go out as if they were living in a normal home. Many authorities use children's homes that are in countryside settings to avoid the issues of the dangers of the cities but its not always possible. When living in that kind of group environment its easy to mix with the wrong crowd and get exploited when you go out. The police are regularly called to these establishments to deal with missing kids and other issues. However as is clear the police here did not recognise and failed the children completely. Ideally children in care would be placed with foster carers but there are never enough of them and many do not want adolescents anyway. I do have to say, its not my experience of the police when I dealt with them in the UK, the special Child Protection teams were well trained and sensitive to what was going on. It seems to have been a complete breakdown in Rotherham? I was an independent professional in other areas of the UK, there for the children only so saw both sides of the input from both the social workers and police. All lacked adequate funding, staffing and resources but did their best within that. When going to a meeting in another county the last thing on my mind was to find out if it was a Tory or Labour stronghold. This deflection by other posters blaming it on lefties is utter nonsense.

Are you sure the Police feared being labelled as racists? If that's the case why was that not mentioned in this latest report as a recommendation that needs to be addressed? Pretty important one no? The race and cultural identity of the abusers and professionals does play a part however I know and that was discussed extensively in the media and previous reports at the time but that is not the cause here, the case as clearly outlined is the police failings in latest report which was commissioned by the police themselves, which is what this OP is about. The findings are all here: https://policeconduct.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Documents/recommendations/Op_Linden_Learning_Report.pdf https://policeconduct.gov.uk/operation-linden

Please also explain how a 999 call to a police emergency center will help a victim that has already been identified, interviewed and investigated? From the report: I was told repeatedly by the police that I was responsible for my own actions for allowing myself to be a victim.’ – a survivor During one investigation, a former Detective Sergeant told us they would treat survivors as victims but that ‘some of them were worldly-wise and not meek and mild victims’. https://policeconduct.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Documents/Investigations/Operation_Linden_Executive_Summary.pdf

Probably the same reason as the timeline not containing Rotherham abuse survivor Sammy Woodhouse condemning Tories over MP Imran Ahmad Khan, a convicted sex offender as an adviser on child exploitation panel more recently. Because this is not about producing outliner examples of individual conservative or labour MP's, its about ensuring this never happens again. The report is about the systematic failures of the police who had all the information yet did little to help the victims due to various failures in training, funding and cultural issues. The same failures that occurred in the Social Services departments. I was involved is dozens of Child Protection Investigations in the UK, thankfully not in Rotherham but London, Birmingham, Wales, Oxford and others, I can clearly state that left/right politics never entered into any of them. What did was lack of resources, lack of training and systems that followed up each case thoroughly.

With lots of new exclusive interviews with Trump and his inner circle leading up to and after the the incident, then its only appropriate that it gets delayed for it all to be reviewed first. All thanks to the British documentary maker Alex Holder. As one Trump official said: "What the f*** is this?" a former top Trump 2020 official messaged the publication after seeing the news. You'll have to wait and see................ https://www.npr.org/2022/06/21/1106402470/trump-documentary-unreleased-footage-jan-6-committee

Or you could read the actual report and see what it says and recommends

Plenty of inexcusable failings by all concerned, social services and police but this was not a political lefty thing whatsoever. Making it political distracts from addressing the actual failings to ensure it never happens again

Nice work from the Ukrainains, they sent a drone into Russian territory and struck an oil refinery. AFP: #BREAKING Drone strike suspected in oil refinery fire near Ukraine border: Russian governor The Russian workers who filmed the incident thought it was one of their drones until it attacked......???? Twitter video: Russian media sharing this video of drone that hit the refinery. Workers "wow, drone. Is it Ukrainian? - Of course not! BOOM" You tube version

Go on then

Top US 'Nazi hunter' to lead Justice Department effort to uncover war crimes in Ukraine The team, Garland said, will be led by the department's best-known Nazi hunter Eli Rosenbaum, and will be made up of experts in investigations involving human rights abuses and war crimes. Rosenbaum, a 36-year veteran of the Justice Department, previously served as the director of Human Rights Enforcement Strategy and Policy, and helped the department over 100 cases to strip citizenship from or deport accused Nazis, according to the Justice Department. "Working alongside our domestic and international partners, the Justice Department will be relentless in our efforts to hold accountable every person complicit in the commission of war crimes, torture, and other grave violations during the unprovoked conflict in Ukraine." https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/21/politics/ukraine-war-crimes-justice-department-nazi-hunter/index.html

"so devastated is the small close-knit community by the tragedy that the decision has now been taken to close the school and destroy it." Texas shooting: School where 19 pupils and two teachers were shot dead is to be demolished

That's a very lucky group of Russians who escaped that intense bombardment at their ammo depot. Good however that the arms were all destroyed. Welcome to hell, orcs.

Same on my phone, I thought I had a virus infection on it, so reading this I can now see its a deliberate pop up

First you say its an excuse, excuse for what exactly? Then you go onto say that why can't countries increase funding for world food supplies? Make your mind up. Food is being used as a weapon, even admitted by Putin's right hand mouthpiece on R.T. while she was next to her master. 20 millions tons stuck in Ukraine that can't leave, which countries have the shortfall to make that up especially as prices have skyrocketed? Why is Russia stealing Ukraine grain and sending it to places like Syria and also offering it to Egypt. This is stolen grain from Ukraine farmers now being sold for Russian profit. The EU has already provided package of 3 Billion Euros for food security across the world due to Russia's invasion and has just announced a further 600 million on top of that

Stir up by the media? What media are you talking about, the West or Russian, both are reporting on it, or a stir up by the EU or UN? Ukraine is a major grain exporter, last year supplying 11% of the world’s wheat exports, 12% of corn exports and 43% of sunflower oil exports. That's without its 16% of the worlds maize and 10% of the worlds barley. But you don't understand what all the fuss is about. Millions at risk in South Sudan as Ukraine war forces slashing of aid Drastic cuts to World Food Programme assistance will leave people ‘looking death in the face’ unless global donors offer support The World Food Programme has said it is suspending food aid to 1.7 million people in South Sudan, as the war in Ukraine sucks funding from the world’s crisis-plagued youngest country and causes the price of staples to soar.

Here's a long list if it makes it a little simpler for you. Russia's not on it so that's still the best bet for his demise.............. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_extradition_treaties

Could we set up a fund to buy him a one way ticket to Russia?

Unfortunately that's just how low they have descended. Respect for Russia will never again be had by civilized nations. They even mocked and joked about it at the St Petersburg Forum. From Russia with love.............."all our hope is in the famine" While sitting next to her master Putin at the St Petersburg forum, the witch who runs RT News, Margarita Simonian using the famine rhetoric as a shameful example of Russia's attitude and lack of care for the suffering of others. She may have inadvertently let the cat out of the bag, intimating that Russia is stealing Ukrainian grain for the sole purpose of forcing the West into lifting economic sanctions against Russia. "All our hope is in the famine." "Now the famine will start and they will lift the sanctions and be friends with us, because they will realize that it is impossible not to be friends with us," said Margarita Simonian. This is what the former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul had to say after hearing this: ‘Let’s starve them until they agree to be our friends’ Such a pleasant person. And then Russians wonder why no one respects them!

There you go, some of those long range missiles/artillery being put to good use: Ukrainian missiles hit Black Sea gas platforms, say Russian officials Russian officials have said Ukraine launched missile strikes against three gas rigs in the Black Sea south of Odesa, in an apparent escalation of Kyiv’s attempts to weaken Russia’s maritime dominance. Seven people were missing and three injured after the strikes, according to the head of occupied Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, who said a “rescue operation with the participation of patrol ships and aviation” was under way. The three offshore platforms, the Boyko towers, had previously been seized by Moscow from Ukraine in 2014. Kyiv believes they are used for military reconnaissance and to help assert control of a larger portion of the Black Sea. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/20/ukrainian-missiles-hit-black-sea-gas-platforms-russian-officials

A conflict within a conflict perhaps, only this one has the potential for far reaching consequences with NATO directly involved: Russian military exercise held in Kaliningrad Oblast after Lithuania halts transit of Russian freight trains Approximately 1,000 Russian soldiers and over 100 pieces of military and special equipment from missile and artillery units are involved in the training manoeuvres. It is reported that the soldiers serving in artillery and missile units will conduct "several hundred firing exercises" using Grad and Uragan multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), Giatsynt [Hyacinth - ed.] large-calibre self-propelled guns, and Msta-S, Akatsia [Acacia - ed.], and Gvozdika [Carnation - ed.] self-propelled artillery systems. Dmitriy Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said this situation was "unprecedented" and Lithuania’s decision was against the law. He added that Russia is still deciding on how to respond to it. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/06/20/7353631/

Or you could ask why Russia's Dmitry Peskov insists that all sanctions are lifted first as a condition to talks
