Convicted. Not even 'alleged' or 'accused', and these are the same party who are scared people are coming over on plastic dingys to cause harm. This guy's and actual predator.

Which means their vetting process probably knew about it but let it pass.

He's a paedo, yes, but do we know for sure that he's also racist?

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 30 pts · 168d

Well he joined the reform party so the racism is implied.

The hate for brown people all depends on age, if they are older than about 15 then yes, he hates them completely.
However if they are younger than 15 then no, he realllllly likes them. The younger they are the more he wants to 'come into contact with his constituents'.

I swear to God conservatives are all fucking pedos.

myrmidex@belgae.social · 4 pts · 168d (2 replies)

Starmer also appointed a pedo buddy, I wouldn't clear non-conservatives that easily.

Zombie@feddit.uk · 7 pts · 168d (1 reply)

That assumes the leader of the Red Tories isn't a conservative... He's certainly not a progressive!

myrmidex@belgae.social · 0 pts · 167d

For the average lemming, every politician seems conservative too :)

The Reform UK party has had this sort of thing happen over and over, where, despite them saying that they have the highest moral standards, one of them turns out to be a very immoral person. Usually they're caught saying something incredibly racist.

LBC's James O'Brien recently imagined that their entire interview and vetting process must consist of only one question, "Are you a wrong'un?"

has had this sort of thing happen

You say this like they just have bad luck. They're actively making these choices.

BillyClark@piefed.social · 1 pts · 167d

Yes, it's ironic speech.

Uk just wants to repair the relationship with the USA

moondoggie@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 168d (3 replies)

Of course they do, because the US is so much younger than the UK

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 167d (2 replies)

250 years vs. 319 years. Not as much of a gap as you might think.

Well crap, we’re not sexy to them at all.

stringere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 167d

69 sexy, though...

Paedophiles makes me wonder if we should bring back branding as a punishment.

Clearly any register you need to manually go and look up the person is too easily missed, but a brand on a shoulder would not be overlooked as easily.

fistac0rpse@fedia.io · 14 pts · 168d (2 replies)

forehead is much more visible

stoy@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 168d

Yeah, but I don't want to force them further into crime to be able to survive.

That is bad for society, I'd rather make sure that they would be able to feed themselves and not causing any more trouble.

The brand would still be easy to check.

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 167d

Why is there a tat on your forehead that says REDO?

finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 168d (1 reply)

On the forehead.

stoy@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 168d

As I said in an earlier comment, that would just isolate them further from society, forcing them into further crime to survive.

I'd rather they are able to feed themselves and contribute to society than to be a further drain on resources.

What the fuck is up with all of the fucking kid touchers in positions of power?

Eh, I guess the behavior is sort of aligned.

If your gonna fuck kids you gotta get yourself above the law!

whoisearth@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 167d

It's like so many other things. I'm not saying everyone on the right is <insert racist/pedophile/sexist/etc> but I guarantee you if you find me a <racist/pedophile/sexist/etc> they vote for the party on the right.

toofpic@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 168d (1 reply)

What a style! So classy that you immediately see he's a British convicted paedophile, not just any convicted paedophile!

Cannot believe they didn't do a background check on Malcolm Tucker's estranged nephew.

crime, morality and “law and order”

When they use those words, they don't mean what anyone else means by them.

Crime: whatever Nige doesn't like.

Morality: whatever Nige doesn't like.

Law and Order: keeping the proles subdued.

None of those will be applied to those in power.

NorskSud@piefed.social · 9 pts · 168d

Isn't that a requirement?

If any face was punchable, this is one. At least it's got the proppa pedo look

ccunix@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 168d (1 reply)

Well at least he wasn't chosen as President

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 168d

Yet.

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 167d (2 replies)

JFC, that guy looks creepy. Forget the pedo thing just for a second, just that face. I'm really not sure what it is, but it's off and it creeps the hell out of me. This guy is a psychopath at least. Now add the pedo thing back and the picture makes sense, and yeah, what the fuck Is happening here?

BlackRoseAmongThorns@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 167d (1 reply)

Cover the bottom half of the face, this man isn't smiling using his eyes.

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 165d

Yeah, I've seen that before with psychopaths that I know, they have the same creepy smile and the things they say... Holy fuck.

Why does this douche look like his mom picked his clothes out for picture day and no other thoughts are rolling around up in his head… lol!?

Politicians need to interact with the community, even at the very least to show up places and shake people's hands and meet their children. Convicted child abusers are just about the worst possible choice for a job like that. I'm not saying their lives have to be over, they did their time paid for the crime, but then be a political adviser in the background, work on strategy in offices where there are no children. It's just so batshit insane we have these paedos in all these public facing jobs, and yet important wealthy people trust them around their own kids and the public's kids, it makes me feel like I'm the one going crazy!!
