And no this is not the Daily Mail, being racist or scare mongering, this is from the front page of the Independent's web page.

Awww, gawd. Not another post which eludes to the 'halogen' days of old. Jeez.

[jackthehat]

No, I'm not.
I'm just not being drawn on *this* thread.

It's a rather strange story. Hard to believe much can happen in the middle of Greggs, especially in the time it took the mother to pay/order at the till. (unless I missed something reading the story)
If it's true, then it seems, no, kids aren't safe anywhere.

Cor guv. Shine a light. I remember 'halcyon' days.

Nip it they weren't as bright ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

That was supposed to be....
But they weren't as bright. ;-)

Eludes?

[Svejk]

Eluding the light?

Rage, rage, rage...

First may I convey my many thanks to the more level headed ABers who have openly come out in my defence, it is very much appreciated.

/// I don't take offence.....I may get exasperated with the constant repetition and, yes, I'm by no means the only one. ///

With reference to my adversary JTH I say this if you get so exasperated with the constant repetition of what I post, why bother to join in? On this thread alone you have posted no less than 16 replies.

/// I don't hate AOG, either. I believe him to be misguided and ignorant on a whole host of issues and have no hesitation on pointing this out to him. ///

That is your opinion, others could say the same regarding yourself.

/// There are very few regular 'Question Authors' who post threads with absolutely no agenda......no matter which newspaper they pick the article from. ///

Then why solely single me out, do I first need you permission on what subjects I post on? I choose subjects that are in the headlines and on those that will attract the most replies, and since Muslim child offenders as well as mass immigration and the migrant problem, constantly fill the news stories, is it any wonder that I mainly choose these subjects, I could perhaps choose such subjects as what celebrity has got married or what celebrity has divorced, but who would be interested in those threads?

In closing, when I chose this news story, I purposely chose the news source as well as adding the footnote, so that this thread would not been turned into an anti-Daily Mail rant, by those who would much rather shoot the messenger, but it seems that if one cannot shoot the messenger then why not shoot those who choose to help the messenger.

AOG, a (deliberately) controversial headline will engender controversial answers. I keep trying to tell you this but you never listen.
Your headline was designed to stir up emotion on AB, as are nearly all of them you post and then you complain when the thread goes awry. Unbelievable.

This is current news and informative to NOT drop our guard over our children. I dont care which paper AOG uses to warn of the wretches in our midst, be them white, black or brown.

If I do buy a paper it would be the Daily Mail.

[retrocop]

Quite correct Tambo
Lets read the title of the OP for what it says.A warning that you can't take your eyes of your children/grand children were ever you are or no matter how long.
Lets not just make assumptions and then send the thread awry. It is those who automatically have an agenda against aog who send these Ops to rats.

^Is the fact he was bailed indicative of anything?

[Mamyalynne]

Glad they found him and hope the investigation gets to the heart of the matter.

"these days" are no worse than "those days" IMO.

...at least, having happened in broad daylight, it made it easier to catch the basterd.
