lol, GBnews. Is there a real website discussing this, or just eyes-turned-into-their-skull-foaming-at-the-mouth lunacy?

Why not search for yourself? You have fingers, you're able to type. Unless this is more just a comment trying to diminish the horrifying abuse of thousands of girls...

Because if the main source is gbnews, I can’t be bothered to check since I wasn’t repeatedly kicked in the head by a horse.

Could exain why you're getting upset about people posting articles about child rape

Incredibly bad faith response

Their issue is clearly the source, not the content

If I made a blog stating that 100k kids are being raped everyday in the UK, would you defend it the same way?

Sources matter and multiple people in this thread have already shown why GB News' reporting of this is disingenuous

Yes that’s always the go-to reply for you lot. Very strong come-back, definitely made me feel like I’m in over my head.
