Mmmmm, such delicious reading, such scrumptious prose. I felt as though I were savouring my favourite treat. You are a brilliant wordsmith, Dennis, and a razor-sharp thinker. I share your character trait of lacking the capacity for forgiveness when such heinous crimes have been perpetrated against children. I can't, I won't forgive. It's been in plain sight for a long time. I have no children, I am not in employment where I have to watch my mouth around the Borg, I have no need of women's safe spaces and refuges, my life doesn't touch these issues in any practical way, yet even I immediately recognised this destructive ideology and where it was leading the instant I became aware of it. There was no peaking for me. So why, oh why, do so many people so much more intelligent than me, so much better informed than me, why do they feed the monster with the lives of children and why do they keep bowing at the altar and brining gifts? Nothing has ever beggared my belief more than this heinous, wanton destruction.
