I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Why can those getting on the bandwagon not listen to the victims who want actions, not another inquiry. 7500 victims listened to. Why retraumatise these strong women and children for political point scoring.

How many times in the past week have you heard UK broadcasters say “Pakistani grooming gangs” despite 2% of Pakistanis being responsible for child sexual abuse?
88% are white British.
How many times has Musk or Farage been the headline?
They are openly normalising far right narratives.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action.
