I posted these links and this pieces of text a while ago in another
thread, its crazy at the turn of this century the uk was whipped into a frenzy by the media who created a moral panic and turned a "paediatrician" into someone very scared as he was mistaken by an ignorant mob for a paedophile.In comparison to the past, children today are relatively safe. During the years 1983-93, 57 children were killed by strangers in the UK - an average of five a year... when one considers that there are 12 million children in the UK, the risk of murder by a stranger is statistically negligible.
- F Furedi, Culture Of Fear, 1997
The majority of all children countable under the Harm Standard1 (78%) were maltreated by their birth parents, and this held true both for children who were abused (62% were maltreated by birth parents) and for those who were neglected (91% experienced neglect by birth parents).
- US Department of Health Survey, September 1996
This bit is scary the English more so than the Welsh and Scots went insane:-
From Plymouth to Portsmouth, Manchester to London, wrongly identified men and known paedophiles found themselves being hounded by mobs up to 300-strong.
The vigilante action was most severe on the Paulsgrove estate in Portsmouth, where protesters circulated a list of 20 alleged sex offenders in the community and proceeded to target them.
The crowds - 40 of whom were later charged with offences - smashed windows, torched cars and forced five families wrongly identified as harbouring sex offenders out of their homes. A suspected paedophile in nearby Southampton shot himself dead and a female registrar was hounded from her South Wales home because neighbours confused "paediatrician" with "paedophile."
As senior police officers warned that such action would end in murder, the News of the World called off its ambitious naming and shaming project, and called instead for "Sarah's Law'.

We've had paediatricians attacked because people get "paediatrician" confused with "paedophile". Whose next? I've got relations in Ireland called "Paddy O'Farrell"; that sounds a bit like "paedophile", so maybe the mob will storm their houses as well. And as for Iraqi paedophiles posing as asylum seekers, well they're the worst of the lot.
This bit is hilarious
Brass Eye Special
As always, the programme took the form of a spoof documentary. In Channel 4's own words, there were five fundamental themes:
Media hysteria
Misinformation
Sexualisation of children
Media hypocrisy
Public debate
The programme makers approached 315 public figures and invited them to take part in promoting a paedophile awareness campaign. This campaign was a set-up. They were asked to read scripts containing ludicrous assertions, including:
Internet paedophiles can project poison gas through a child's keyboard using the new HOECS3 system.
Paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than humans.
'Trust Me Trousers', which were inflated to hide a paedophile's erection.
Supporting a group called 'Nonce4 Sense'.
Amazingly, several celebrities fell for it and happily regurgitated this rubbish for the camera. These people included

It really saties the ridiculous moral panic and forlk devils created by the British media on paedophiles at the turn of the century.

I would like to point out again I think this thread is a flame as the guy who started it is showing a picture of a child star in his avatar called Dakota Fanning and states his location as in Dakota. He also calls himself "eleven inches" read into all that what you will.
