Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Maybe should have also noted that Princess Di was 16 and Charlie was 28 when he met her.

Shocking. Royals are basically all pedophiles.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Shocking. Rich and powerful are all pedos. There is a 0.1% rounding error

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

See, I feel like that's a generalization. But then I think about the rich and powerful people, and realize that most of them are rather horrible. I think that like 95% are really terrible people, at least 50% pedophiles and abusers.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

After you have a certain level of wealth it’s impossible to have not stepped on/crushed people to reach that point. So even saying 95% are wastes of oxygen is extremely generous to them.

While it probably isn’t 100% that are pedos it is still the overwhelming majority of them that are. Otherwise someone would’ve have named names at this point. It is a part of the institution of being rich and powerful to be a pedo.

Look into Lord Mountbatten...

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

It is becoming clear that rich and powerful people are into raping poor people children.

We can't tell if it is west specific or global.

Also explains why Catholic church mostly got away with it. With some punishment in EU but really just drop in the bucket. Maybe at least crime rate has been reduced from closer scrutiny.

Isn’t that the guy the IRA assassinated and everyone fucking wept over?

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

He would have liked that.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh my. 8-12 year old boys? Mentor to King Charles? Hmmm..... that can't be good at all.

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Woah, woah, woah! The US believes in innocent until proven guilty. The alleged child rapist should get the benefit of the doubt. After all, does that sound like the behavior of a 34 time felon, confirmed adult rapist, insurrectionist, twice impeached, traitor like Donald J. Trump?

Tap for spoiler/s, I really hope this is obvious though

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Actually, he did have a case against him raping an underage girl as well.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't remember him being convicted, so the alleged part still works there.

  1. It was sarcasm
  2. A settlement is not a conviction
  3. I actually checked before posting and found no evidence of even a settlement. If you have something that shows otherwise, please share it.
  4. It was sarcasm (adding this again since you seemed to miss it)

How could I forget, Prince Andrews brother was also best mates with Jimmy Saville.

Just saying.

great family to represent your state.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world -3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So was the Queen and Margaret Thatcher, does that mean they're also paedophiles?

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It means they were evil fuckers who enabled one of the worst peados of the last century.

I'm not saying Charlies a nonce, just that he pursued a 16 year old when he was 28 and was best mates with one of the worst nonces ever.

All I'm saying, and it's all true.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You are implying that he's a paedophile because he knows a paedophile. Am I a wife beater because I know someone who beat their wife?

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago

Mate if you hung about with somebody you knew was a wife beater, yes I'd have questions about you.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Queen elizabeth and margaret thatcher are not held in the highest regard so this isn't a super gotcha. I wouldn't say that "means" they're paedophiles but it doesn't make me think they're not

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's any number of reasons to not like either of them but just having an association with a paedophile doesn't automatically make you also a paedophile which is what OP is claiming.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sure, in the same way that using 4chan doesn't make you a racist. But neither of these things fill me with confidence.

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I find it exceptionally unnerving that I feel like an outlier because I don’t want to fuck kids. Is it the power that brings on these feelings, or is it those with the feelings to do so seek power to make it easier for them to do so?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

think of it this way. do you want power over someone else? because i don't. i want to live my life in peace and enjoy the company of people i love and who love me. the powerful though? they're addicted to power. and they want to experience power during sex to enhance the feeling of their orgasm. they are at the most powerful when the person they are fucking is a child.

does that make sense?

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does it make sense? Not at all, but I get what you’re saying. It will never make sense to me though.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

The only thing I can gather is pushing whatever possible boundaries exist once they've won capitalism, including the diddling. Either that, or they realize once one acquires a certain level of immunity, they can carry out their sick fantasies. I dunno, burn them all.

Could you change the title to match the actual article title, not all clients show the original and editorialised titles are against the rules.

[–] sunglocto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

And it's not even chronoligically correct. He accepted the invitation to visit, he hasn't visited yet.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

No, you don't understand, the author of the post is a genius.

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 0 points 2 weeks ago

okay.... spoil my fun :)

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

That is why the elite want us to gear up our baby production efforts.

[–] Stizzah@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually a child rapist visiting the brother of another child rapist...
