Paedophile Information Exchange and Labour (UK)

    Bureaucracy gone psycho. When I read something like this I really do wonder what is the actual purpose of civil liberties are in the modern age. Protect the vulnerable or declare open season on them?

    All during the Jimmy Savile era.

    PIE members were lobbying NCCL officials for the age of consent to be reduced and campaigning for “paedophile love”.

    Their view that children were not harmed by having sex with adults appears to have been adopted by those at the top of the civil liberties group.

    Your masterful way of smearing a sensitive issue all over a toilet wall of a thread never ceases to amaze me OP.

    Raping children is not a sensitive issue. It's a barbaric one.

    Conflating it with civil liberties and tabloiding your first nanothoughts on the matter is fairly crude, if not barbaric, too.

    The Daily Express makes The Daily Mail look balanced. And reader comments are just gonna be from the tard brigade.

    Here's the article from a more balanced, non-reader-comment-facilitating source: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26352378

    Mad stuff in fairness. :eek:

    This took place about 40 years ago. It's completely wrong of course but so was:
    • Eugenics
    • Slavery
    • Institutionalised Racism
    • Lack of Female voting rights
    • Institutionalised Homophobia
    • Magdalene Launderies
    • Lack of divorce rights

    Yet all of these things were at one point deemed fine and appropriate by "enlightened" members of society in their time (particularly something like eugenics, which was fully supported by most of the scientific community pre-Nazism). It's great that we have hindsight in looking back at some of these things.

    A much more balanced article about the whole affair from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/28/paedophilia-generation-mail-nccl

    I'm still astounded that there was support for this organisation even as late as the early 80s.
    No wonder Savile thrived.

    It's actually mad to read all this "what about free speech?" and some liberalism gone nuts... from the 1970s. It's like today.

    To be fair the Express and Mail have been running a bit of an agenda on this for a while. Doesn't mean that certain prominent figures don't have some serious soul searching to do though

    The BBC is not balanced. Very pro-Labour. And they ignored this story for nearly 2 weeks until it became such big news they had to start covering it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,512 ✭✭✭Muise...

    From what I've read, the support consisted of allowing PIE to subscribe to the NCCL. They sound a bit like the People's Front of Judea when it comes to organisation and ideology, to be honest, but go on any vaguely left-wing march today and you'll find yourself in some fairly freaky and downright unsavoury company.

    Some view it as leftie heaven, others view it as part of the old guard establishment. I think it's somewhere in the middle so I would view it as more balanced than a lot of media outlets.

    Post hippy/freelove mentality run riot really, still its nothing unique to Britain - in Denmark ("consenting") children and (unconsenting) animals were fair game in porn between 1968 and 1980 when common sense kicked in. The only good thing to come out of that era was music and movies the rest was utter sh1te - racists, fascists, commies, beige carpet, Austin Allegros, 3 day weeks, Carlos the Jackal, 98p in the pound supertax, never-ending strikes, IRA, UDA, PLO, RAF etc etc!

    Terrible era.

    You also believe Politics.ie deserves to be trolled because it doesn't pander to lefties like Boards.ie does, s it's no surprise you're defending the BBC.

    Whole African Continent has no problem with it. And it is 2014.
    Are they all wrong. Marrying kids in widespread on african continent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    The age of consent is 12 - 14 in other European countries and incest isn't illegal in many too. Still though, I think I like our values regarding sex and children.

    And yes the African congress are wrong, young girls shouldn't be forced to marry old men.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,566 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Celine Dion met her husband when she was 11, they became lovers.
    I think the issue is love V abuse .
    PIE seemed to think they had every right to campaign to win the right to legally abuse kids.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale

    Yeh because the BBC is such a cesspit of depravity. How could anyone defend it.

    Weird, random post. Don't know what the first weirdo bit of it is about, but maybe it's in relation to something I said one time that has been taken out of context. Politics.ie is full of tards indeed though, both left and right.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,499 ✭✭✭porsche959

    Unfortunately a small number of defenders of child abuse are also active on that website.

    PIE may not exist in an organised fashion today, but I have found that there are people on the internet willing to defend child abuse. Why they do so, I can only speculate at.

    A much more balanced article about the whole affair from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/28/paedophilia-generation-mail-nccl
    And don't forget sexual harassment, which was tolerated as normal in the 1970s but is regarded as unacceptable now.
    But it was a different time so I don't expect there will be any repercussions today.

    The Guardian is anything but balanced on the issue, merely going in to bat for one of their own.

    This doozy for example:

    Feminists began to learn about child sexual abuse in consciousness-raising groups, the first survey on the extent was done in the US in 1979, and when I began my PhD in 1980 it was not yet on the radar of social workers and police as a significant issue in the lives of children.

    Because feminists hadn't yet gotten around to deciding that paedophilia was wrong nobody knew it yet.
    Complete and utter nonsense.

    That article is indeed nonsense and almost reads like a satire on leftwing feminism. But I would have to say in my experience most feminists are strongly anti-child abuse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    Love how an attack on feminism even gets shoe-horned into a thread about a paedophile's rights movement. :pac:

    Yes, Labour politicians need to answer questions about PIE and NCCL, but so do the Tories about Morrison, and the Lib Dems about Smith

    Suggestive pics of teens are sleazy and exploitative, but not child abuse imagery in the legal sense.

    PIE was an organisation that lobbied for reducing the age of consent to 4, contained in its membership many practising child abusers and persons involved in the consumption and possibly production of child abuse imagery, and obtained government grants worth £400k in today's money - a matter which hopefully is under police investigation as to what precisely they did with that money.

    So, there's really no comparison between the Mail publishing photos of celebrity teens in bikinis - which I agree is wrong and exploitative - and the PIE organisation.

    The Mail can be a disgrace at times but when it produces excellent investigate journalism, as in the articles by Eileen Fairweather about connected child abuse networks, then in my view it should be supported.

    Sounds more like the Judean Peoples Front.

    Margaret Hodge attempts to talk her way out of Islington paedophile scandal

    In yesterday’s Guardian, Margaret Hodge spoke about her time as leader of Islington Council, when it was proved that a paedophile network had been sexually abusing vulnerable children in every one of the council’s children’s homes.
