No dna tests were done, sounds like they should have been done to remove any allegations credibility if they are so adamantly claiming to not be at fault.
It's a cover up. They can try to claim he said she said, but the fact that they didn't take a timely complaint seriously allows us to read between the lines.
It's a standard mo for Britian. Do whatever they can to deny that a problem exists in the first place. You see it in the Tory party with islamaphobia, the labour party with antisemitism, Nigel garage denying he's a racist, the government denying racism in the met and the former met commissioner denying that there's rampant sexual misconduct in the met.
British people want to bury their head in the fucking sand and ignore a problem until people move onto something else. And it speaks volumes that I've not seen anything about this situation in the BBC or the guardian, wouldn't expect any of the others to even mention it because they're so fucking biased.
Literally, if you know there's 0 chance of it happening, why not test?
Note: this is very different when you're a government entity making the claim and doing the test vs when you're an individual making a claim and then someone else does the test, especially if law enforcement or other government bodies are involved.
If the UK investigators were so sure, then doing the tests remove all doubts, and nobody can point to it and go "then why didn't you test? Seems shady to me" because... Well... Seems shady to me.
dismissed claims of rape brought by 2,187 women
Bro
The British still haven’t stopped their bullshit.
Sounds like we could use Maury's help on this one.
The British suck in this situation for sure but the local racism this girl is experiencing is also bad. There should be an article about that too.
Everyone of every skin color belongs everywhere. There's no location on earth that you "belong" based on your skin color or general relative appearance. The concept absurd.
Rape and pillage. Keep solders away from your people.
You are right, even the fumes from solders can be toxic
And your people away from soldierhood.
