These mealymouthed, forelock-tugging responses are shocking. This step was so overdue it's neither powerful or brave. As a victim, I don't support the royals, either: I hold them responsible for a coverup. As for standards, Kemi: Shouldn't kids have *always* expected to be safe?

From top to bottom, they're all the same. One of my abusers, Horris Hill school's deputy headmaster, regularly conducted the chapel services that we, as 8-13 year-old boys, attended. Elsewhere, he was having children remove their underwear before whipping them with a golf club they'd had to choose.

This is what it’s like to be the victim of child sexual abuse at a British boarding school. You try to point out that abusers come in every colour and so to focus only on Pakistani grooming gangs helps no one. Then someone who doesn’t enable replies calls you a scumbag who wants girls raped.

A Mosque in London has banned females over 12 from competing in charity runs. But I know a college in Windsor that bans females over 12 from competing in education, and has done since 1440.

At least The Tories are now admitting it was them that took it in the first place.

Profound gratitude to the British government for showing their commitment to all victims of sexual abuse by firing Epstein's close friend, Peter Mandelson, then days later extending unprecedented honours to Epstein's close friend, Donald Trump.
Kids, we've just been fucked again.

So there it is, in black and white: the government will not confirm that association with a paedophile would prevent their being hired. We've come nowhere since the 1970s. Sexual abuse of kids is fine if it's done by someone who could 'help' the country.

And so the media - selectively - claims another scalp. I'm not saying she shouldn't have resigned, but God forbid any mainstream journalist put anyone who leans right to the same scrutiny as Rayner's faced since she dared enter the musty world of British politics.

If you've not understood yet that they don't care about
- sovereignty
- free speech
- child abuse
- fishermen
- the economy
- farmers
- the NHS
- Gaza
- Ukraine
- affordable bills
- a living wage
And that they only care about
- themselves
Then it's time to put down the meth.

I'm old enough to remember when this mattered and moved people to think of ways to help.

I've learned that Joy Schaverien has died. Among other things, she pioneered the term 'Boarding School Syndrome' to encapsulate the ongoing struggles by those who suffered abuse - or even just separation - at such schools. For survivors like myself, her contributions were vital. RIP.

In the new Uncut Magazine I celebrate Ganavya's forthcoming Nilam album in depth - "Its meditative mood & healing message speak to the heart without prejudice" - and also dig into the grandiose follies of Chilean folk-prog on Las Jaivas' 1981 LP, Alturas de Machu Picchu.
