Therein lies the problem.
That lot think this is all anti septic, something to do with football, not human decency.
I grew up in the 60's, several of my friend's played for septic boys club, their crested kitbag was a source of huge pride and the envy of all their friends.
As a lad, if I'd have told my parents that the local minister, church warden, Boy's Brigade leader or the like, had touched me up, I'd have got such a slap. There were no deviants (allegedly) in those days, now we know different.
The guys who came forward set themselves up for torment and ridicule. The fact that our backward little country has refused the acknowledge their abuse, name and shame the perpetrators, punish the enablers and deniers, and move forward, should be a source of shame for every political party. Instead, it appears that its something to be hidden in the hope of getting more votes from a small section of the wider community.
I hope that somehow, somewhere in the not too distant future, they get their comeuppance.
Rant over, sorry chaps, but this really passes me off.
