        It sickens me that my tax now has to be used to keep these evil men in prison, really angers me.

        They should each be sent to different prisons and get dealt with by the inmates but no doubt because of their ‘human rights’ they’ll all be together!!🤬

        I bet they'll all try to appeal the sentence even the conviction 1st.

        Yep, that they’re men, as are these lot and thousands more. Doesn’t seem to matter where they come from does it. But I don’t tarnish ALL men, because intelligence tells me not ALL men are rapists. Whatever group they belong to.pic.twitter.com/aUsKCMBwXa

        You seem to have selected your photos carefully, I would suggest you simply go to Google Search SEX GROOMING GANGS and IMAGES See what appears, I didn’t put the pics there I’m just a concerned individual who seems to think this may be cultural. Sorry if I’m wrong.

        Didn’t select ‘carefully’ just searched for ‘white British rapists’ to make a point.Of course the phrase you chose would bring up that demographic, because it’s highlighted more. Doesn’t mean you should denigrate a whole ethnic group.Which WAS my point.

        Clearly the story wasn’t ignored as they’ve been convicted.

        If they haven't a UK passport then absolutely. Without question. If they're UK citizen by birth or by default they should serve our time. All vile creatures whatever. No-one, especially children, should have their lives distorted by those who think they are something their not.

        Unfortunately the U.K. gov will allow for lengthy appeals and then never deport them due to human rights and right to family life, best thing is they are put to death.

        'Life in prison' with a minimum of 18 years. 18 years is not life, it's childhood. Something that some of these girls no longer have. Our sentencing is diabolical
