Listened to this last night
When you have experienced police officers resigning in disgust at the way their colleagues dealt with the pleas for help from the girls, and later from the young women not given the protection promised when testifying in court, it's as scandalous as the perpetrators
And included in that is the decision not to prosecute in many cases by the Crown Prosecution Service, headed by Keir Starmer during the relevant period 2008-13
I hope the civil action being brought by one Rochdale girl (now aged about 30) against the police & CPS exposes the whole rotten culture |  |

So what did Keir Starmer get his knighthood for? Services to the community no doubt. |  | | |

According to The Yorkshire Post he specialised in human rights.
How did Keir Starmer get a knighthood?
Sir Keir Starmer's knighthood comes from his time as a defence lawyer specialising in human rights issues.
The London born politician had a career in law before entering politics, for which he received high acclaim.
Starmer's career in law began in 1987, when he became a barrister at the 'Middle Temple', one of four 'Inns of Court' exclusively entitled to call their members to the 'English Bar' as barrister.
He also became a member of Doughty Street Chambers - a set of barristers' chambers situated in Bristol, Manchester and London's Doughty Street - and notably worked on the defence of the famed 'McLibel' case.
The case saw environmental activists Helen Steel and David Morris up against McDonald's, who claimed a factsheet critical of the company handed out by the activists was libellous.
Starmer was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2002 at the age of 39, and in the same year, became joint head of Doughty Street Chambers.
Starmer also served as a human rights adviser to the Northern Ireland Policing Board and the Association of Chief Police Officers, and was a member of the Foreign Office Death Penalty Advisory Panel; he was named "QC of the Year" by the UK legal directory in 2007.
In 2008, Starmer named as the new Head of the Crown Prosecution Service and Director of Public Prosecutions; the person occupying the position, which they typically do for five year terms, plays a significant role in whether prosecutions are taken up.
All of Sir Keir's predecessors received knighthoods for the role, and he was no different.
Starmer received his knighthood in the 2014 New Year Honours, for "services to law and criminal justice". |  | | |

I’d love to know why successive Tory Home Secretaries have failed to deport the convicted ones, who lost their appeals. | |

I didn't make a political point. If the CPS is to be scrutinized via a court case during the period in question, it's only natural that it's leadership will be part of that scrutiny. I think Keir Starmer is a good choice for Labour in seeking to renew itself, and i've said as much before on here, so no axe to grind
In fact, i hope the case doesn't distract him from his current leadership challenges
It's sad to see how narrow your focus has become in recent times riddler

I’m no fanboy of Starmer, you know as well as I do that the story about him not wanting to prosecute grooming gangs was a Tory lie. It was tweeted by some Tory MP’s who were rebuked for it. It is therefore a political point you make. The only political point I made, was that successive Tory Home Secretaries have failed to deport convicted groomers despite promising to do so. Given that I have hardly posted for months, I’m not sure how you know what my focus is? | |

Not cases that they 'ballsed up' particularly, but those that were known about but never reported for fear of what might happen if they did so. |  |
