All right, Rachel Reeves has a lot on, what with the fact that Britain is almost certainly already in recession, and what with Tulip Siddiq, the Minister for Aunty Corruption. By the way, the connections of the Awami League, which is nor a member of the Socialist International or anything like that, extend well into the neighbouring Constituency Labour Party of Holborn and St Pancras. But even so, Reeves is still following Ivor Caplin's pornography-strewn account on Twitter, and all of these were doing so at least until Caplin's arrest yesterday.

Yes, that does include both the Crown Prosecution Service, and Jacqui Smith, who is now an Education Minister having been Home Secretary when the Police were directed that the victims of the grooming gangs had, "made an informed choice about their sexual behaviour." Or were they? Bearing in mind that his friend, the then Director of Public Prosecutions, is now the Prime Minister, the repeated source of that, Nazir Afzal, now says that he was only repeating what the Police had told him. If you want to keep getting the gigs, then you do not put yourself on the wrong side both of Keir Starmer and of BBC Verify.

Ah, yes, the BBC. So trusted that it must be protected from the mere assembly of a march outside its headquarters. Protected by the Police whom Afzal has called liars. And protected from a march of the people who have spent a decade being vilified and defamed by Caplin, whose case the BBC refuses to mention. Still, just as it would be wrong to emphasise either his Jewishness, whatever he may mean by it, or his undeniable Zionism, so it is wrong to emphasise either the ethnicity or the religious affiliation of other perpetrators within the vast ecosystem of this country's endemic sexual abuse of children.
