          Actually, it was their careless rhetoric on the subject that brought them attention @HPluckrose @WMPolice

          Precisely. They made the argument underlying the problematic attitude leaving British girls in danger.

          No, actual prosecutions would show that. How can you deter a crime there's currently no consequences for? @HPluckrose @WMPolice

          Punishment is demonstrably an ineffective deterrence to crimes. It does give justice though. @Longyman @HPluckrose @WMPolice

          We already have a fair idea of the 'extent' and have had for some time. For your info: No prosecutions yet whatsoever @HPluckrose
