THREAD: A question of policing priorities. Today, an investigation begins into why senior police officers failed to take action over Rotherham child abuse allegations. Over 1,500 girls were raped & sexually exploited by Muslim grooming gangs
news.sky.com/story/senior-s…
It's been called "the biggest child protection scandal in UK history". Yet reports written by Dr Angie Heal between 2003-2006 were ignored. A senior officer finally said looking into these sex rings was not as important as "burglary and car crime"
Fast forward to today. A "misogyny hate crime" policy piloted in Nottingham is being recommended for national roll-out. Among its recommendations is that wolf whistling should be recorded as a "hate incident"
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
So can we conclude that pursuing allegations of wolf whistling is a viable use of police time, whereas investigating the rape, torture and drugging of girls was not? The evidence is here. What can we conclude from this strange inversion of priorities?
Conclusion: Rotherham police lacked the guts to pursue real crimes that were too difficult, for fear of what? Offending "the community?" For this, those responsible for turning a blind eye should be jailed for a very long time. Justice needs to be done
Meanwhile, lawmakers look to invent new, petty crimes, such as wolf whistling, to boost crime figures. "Look, sorry about Rotherham and all, but we're taking misogyny seriously now!" It's for this reason the general populace loses faith in justice
Over three years ago now, I had a senior (female) criminal barrister tell us why it would be impossible to make wolf whistling a hate crime, yet still we waste time on this piffle telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-m…
And, in all that time, hoe many senior councillors, police and all those who turned a blind eye in Rotherham have been jailed? Answers, please, on the world's smallest postcard >> ENDS

1. END OF WEEK THOUGHT: One of the many, obvious benefits of getting out of the media/Twitter bubble and talking to real people is that you get a much more accurate view of how real people are thinking
2. This week I've spoken with hundreds of teenagers and over 100 parents across UK and hot topic was fear around the male/female interface in light of #MeToo #PresidentsClub #HarveyWeinstein and even #DartsWalkOnGirls #f1gridgirls
3. One woman, a mother of sons, said this, and it genuinely made me well up. "Are today's and tomorrow's boys going to made to pay for the sins of their forefathers?" She told me how she saw her son retreating, he was afraid

Men Are Scum - Story #Thread
Battery full! I unplugged my phone then sat on the edge of the bed as I scrolled through notifications from different social media platforms, some needed to be replied immediately but no, I just wasn't in the mood to reply them yet. I was still going through the notifications

"I'm about to do a thread, another experience...*sighs* men are just scum"
I wasted no time diving into her twitter timeline, I followed the thread with rapt attention and retweeted, it was indeed a

In its 251 years in business, Christie's sold only 4 such diamonds weighing more than 10 carats, this #TTD diamond was almost 20 carats and sold for a record $70 million to Harry Winston. But no one has bothered to ask still how did this diamond get there? abc.net.au/news/2018-11-1…
According to British auction house Christie's this Tirumala Tirupati temples diamond once belonged to the Oppenheimer diamond family. But how did this diamond reach there from #TTD? And what is this Oppenheimer family? We warned about this in detail to our PMO early this year.

Wow. I'm blown away by the response! I want to echo the point that has been made about how long somebody has played being irrelevant, whether its 20 years, 10 years, or 5 months. I've played with many women and girls over the years and have loved having them at my table!
#playon
I really don't understand the push back. I don't understand the comments I see about girls not being "real nerds" or only playing bc their boyfriend plays or they want cosplay likes or whatever. It's all nonsense. Is it so hard to believe that girls play because they WANT to? smh

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
