Eight child abusers were jailed today. 8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years. This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News. I wonder why.

Best guess is that there are 8000 British WW2 veterans left alive. Symbolism is the only reason to buy a poppy.

If this is the case, then publishing this piece is a poor editorial decision to say the least. We should, at a minimum, expect stated financial statistics to be broadly accurate in the Financial Times.

The fact that one of the two men arrested has now been cleared and released is a pretty huge "STOP" sign to everyone who's spent the last 24 hours rushing to interpret the attack. Facts, like trains, are sometimes slower to arrive than we'd like. But you just have to wait for them.

The other problem with this is the vast discrepancies between councils in terms of house prices, wealth, and council tax demands. Band H in Westminster is £2,034.36. Band H in Middlesbrough is £4,973.06.
