And on it goes...


There's a disturbing report on the BBC News website which you might have missed. It's in the Somerset section. (I only spotted it because someone tweeted a link to it). 

A serious case review had found that the authorities once again failed to spot that a paedophile grooming gang was operating in the area. 

Worse, an underage girl - once of the two victims - was wrongly sent to court for racial abuse against her rapist. 

Ahmet Kurtyemez and Mehmet Citak have now been jailed for the offences.

It wasn't a story that BBC One covered on its news bulletins, nor did the BBC News Channel. ITV did report it though. 

There were 14 opportunities for the authorities to step in and stop the abuse. None were taken.
