It’s frankly disgusting that they are using him as a weapon. They’re basically laughing into the faces of all of saviles victims
Lmao that insane this government is truly reaching ticket bottom on a daily basis.
I’ll preface this by saying that I am left wing and will vote whoever keeps the right out of power. However shit like this just makes me detest Labour and not want to give them my vote again. I also hate this stupid law for the simple reason it’s a hurdle between me and my porn habits.
I shouldn’t have to sugar coat it and I’m not going to. I want to wank in peace and doing so doesn’t make me a fucking Jimmy Saville apologist. This rhetoric just makes Labour look stupid and out of touch. It’s like they want to piss off as many people as possible and lose another election.
I’m a single gay adult man. I don’t want children and will never have them. It’s not my responsibility to parent and make sacrifices for other people’s children. You are responsible for raising your own kids – not me or anyone else.
Accused of is a generous phrase, we all watched them do it.
Dont worry, he’ll have them arrested when he gains power and goes full authoritian like his pedo mate in the whitehouse.
Labour are sickening using that exspecialy phillips sick women
It really was laughable. Really showed themselves up.
‘Think of the children’ is a rhetorical and propagandist device intended to deflect actual criticism away from measures and legislation, and paint anyone criticising you as being a paedophile.
Labour is actively engaging in propaganda instead of actually engaging with the debate and concern over privacy.
I was told the adults were supposed to be back in the room when this government came in.
They really need to stop this sort of thing. Labelling everyone who disagrees with you as some derogatory term is exactly the sort of thing that derailed Clinton’s election campaign against Trump.
Issues with immigration?
*Well you’re a far right thug*
Issues with the online safety act?
*Well you obviously support pedos, then*
Issues with the housing development that built with the absolute bare minimum infrastructure and gridlocks your town?
*Well you’re just anti-growth*
Did Farage make use of the Spa during his extended visit at Mar-a-lago?
Labour forgets that they also protected Savile for years. The entire UK establishment and the BBC did. All his activities were known, the entire political establishment is guilty.
The same is true in the US with Epstein.
All got away with it. All would do it again even the new generation.
Absolutely detest Reform, Saville was up to his tricks from the 60s-80s maybe into the 90s. Successive labour and tories governments were in power. The establishment knew fine well what Saville did. So labour points a finger at anyone and theres three fingers pointing back at them. Both enabled a monster and I don’t see Saville being outed by Reform either.
It really wasn’t that long ago when the right was using the “Keir Starmer didn’t prosecute Jimmy Savile” line to ‘bait’ Starmer…
They have baited me to looking at other options to vote for in the next GE.
Very low blow and completely pointless, not because it’s rude towards Farage (couldn’t care less about him), but because they are assuming anyone who is computer literate, and cares about their data or personal information, is on Savile’s side.
They insulted a while swathe of the population, which it extremely rare for a government to do.
It was a very stupid thing to say, especially when they doubled down on it with Rayner coming out with something similar shortly afterwards.
The push to age verification and personal data mining is so incredibly suspicious, that you can’t help but think it’s not about “protecting children” but something nefarious.
It should have been dropped quickly when Labour came into power to move away from the 14 years of Conservative rule, but sadly they were also pushing for this.
It’s possibly one of the worst pieces of legislation in modern day Britain.
I don’t like the Jimmy Savile argument as he did everything without Internet…
using jimmy saville as a weapon to attack anyone who disagrees with the online safety act is not only cruel to those who disagree with the governments stance it is also disrepectful to all of jimmy savilles victims
Incredible own goal by Labour this one. Completely unhinged. It’s like they actually want reform to win. What he said doesn’t even make sense. ‘Nonces like savile would do their bidding online. It was already illegal but this law (that was Conservative policy by the way) that has nothing whatsoever to do with curbing already illegal activities is going to curb illegal activities by making legal activities harder! Anyone who disagrees is a nonce like savile!’
Who are the Labour Party even for these days? Seriously, I don’t know anyone who’s actually happy with them
It’s depressing because not only did they cede the moral highground, they didn’t even make a good job of the brainless populist rhetoric.
If you’re going to cheat, make damn sure you win. Otherwise you just look like a complete tosser.
Jimmy S never used the Internet. Never used a computer. He’s on record saying that.
He was however:
● a Knight of the Realm, just like Sir Kier Starmer,
● a personal friend of King Charles,
● a face of those “beloved British institutions” the BBC and NHS. (Other faces include Phillip Schofield, Huw Edwards, Greg Wallace, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris)
● He was literally Mr Establishment, and all his crimes were conducted in real life, in plain sight.
How New Labour can invoke his ghost to shout down opposition to the Online Safety Act is laughable. Peter Kyle should be embarrassed, and if he was a decent human being would step down. Labour should sack their PR people though – this gaff is in the “good day to bury bad news” territory.
