Look at white British Philip Wood, recently jailed for raping a 12-year-old girl. He’d been in the anti-immigrant 2024 Rotherham riots. He’s since been given a 27-month sentence - for RAPE of a child! Why aren’t politicians and media screaming about that?

Finally it's exposed. Police also raped child victims in Rotherham. In 2014 we asked Parliament: "What is the relationship between officers & perpetrators? What did police gain by not arresting them? Were they paid or afforded favours?" There was no reply.

WAR said: "Every cut to social care makes older women and women with disabilities more vulnerable to violence. Disabled women are being pushed into dependence on family friends or even strangers for help and often are taken advantage of." @WinVisibleWomen.

Ryland Headley jailed for 1967 rape-murder of 75 year old Louisa Dunne. In the 70s, he got a life sentence for raping 2 women aged 79 & 84, but was released after 2 years when court ruled rapes arose from frustration with his “ambitious and demanding wife”
