The community of 2,000 people with 151 cases of sex crime
- cases going back to the 1950s
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-43478396
Norwegian police have documented 151 cases of sexual abuse, including child rape, in one small community of 2,000 people, north of the Arctic circle. The offences occurred over decades - between the 1950s and 2017 - but were only recently uncovered. How could such serious sex crimes go unchecked for so long?

If you folks think an average of 2.5 cases of assaults a year in any community of 2000 people is a lot, then you lead very sheltered lives. The Child Abuse charity in ireland isn't called "One in four" for the craic, and I'm unconvinced that Ireland is that much of an outlier. We just talk about it more openly.
The WTF aspect is that these were all investigated, and investigated simultaneously.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 23-03-2018, 00:27.

David Baddiel and "Jonathan Pie" also rallying to his cause playing the "it's a joke" card, and that "all comedians" now need to be cautious
Baddiel, Pie, and Gervais all live in England.
Has there been any response from any Scots comedians on their take on whether this was an offence or a joke?

Fucking hell. “Rational” clothes that would involve a woman stripping off to go to the jacks. Playing the Soviet anthem as a prop at their show. Communism as a lifestyle accessory. Why would anyone want to look like the fucking Who?Last edited by Lang Spoon; 26-03-2018, 17:24.

1) their art project is hilarious
2) the article is mildly interesting and more importantly
3) the jumpsuit pattern is free from their website! Brb, off to make myself some ridiculous impractical grease monkey outfit (not kidding either, I'd totally wear that and I've got some spare denim kicking around.)
