The US media covered it up, but within the past month a huge pedophilia scandal was exposed in their Football programs. It went to the top, and more than a few top players have come out to say they were abused as children.

Uk media I think you ment to say. Yes more than 3-400 victims come forward so far and about 50 or more abusers accused from the top of my head. Let's hope there is no cover up!

Undoubtedly there will be politicians implicated somehow. They will have all been part of the same groups going to the same parties, and that Dolphin Square place etc. I find it insane that people seem to accept the idea that it's 'historic abuse' as though it happened 'back then' and wasn't it awful, but of course it all stopped all of a sudden in the 90s and we don't have to worry about it anymore. Don't people realise that if it was happening then and it was covered up, and nothing was ever done to address it or stop it, and the people doing it remained powerful, recruiting people they knew and favoured into both the political sphere and in the media, then surely, logically, it follows that if anything, today it will be MORE prevalent, by now probably most of the top people are part of it, in government, the Courts and the media. Why else is the child abuse inquiry going nowhere? Why is there no outrage about it?!

People are assholes , it's been in the papers no one cares. The files with all the witness statements and evidence 'went missing' and the heads of the enquiry got changed 3 times due to conflict of interest, it's another cover up waiting to happen. Sickening

People follow the media's lead way too much. If the media reports something as an 'outrage' people will be outraged. I can't believe people were more outraged about the fact Jeremy Corbyn sat on the floor on the train than they were about the obvious ongoing attempts to cover up the rape, torture and murder of children by Members of Parliament. The only possible reason I can think of is that the media sets the stage for what most people deem important. It's so scary. I notice how no one applies any critical thinking to the media, not really. No one seems to stop and think - hang on, everything I know about the world and what's going on beyond my own direct experience, I know from this relatively small group of people, people who are either making money from disseminating the information by selling advertisements to giant corporations, or people who are essentially employed by the state and mostly have their job due to nepotism, with the oversight of what information is provided to me, carried out by government appointees. Should I really just take it all as gospel? What if they decided to lie for their own nefarious reasons? Would I know? Isn't it important that I at least CHECK? Nope, no one thinks like that, even intelligent people who can critique anything. Scary.
