    Sick, and one of the worst things is that's what's happening in China at the moment to the Uyghurs and there's f'all we can do about

    We could stop trading with them as a mark of protest? Let's face it people will turn a blind eye as long as we have their huge export market and they're selling us cheap crap, money trumps human rights every time.

    The head of the truth and reconciliation commission (Justice Murray Sinclair) said it's estimated at least 6,000 children died in these institutions and that it’s inexcusable nobody has ever found out the exact number.

    Serious question, is there any first world country that didn't have this sort of stuff happening in children's institutions in the upto say the 50's for whatever marginalised group was around?
    Excluding those those that were directly Stalinist or fascist as they had other stuff going on.

    Maybe the Roman church can tell us that? They seem to be involved in both 'tarnishing' the marginalised groups and subsequently dealing with them.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    It's like the Gestapo still existing today and being treated with respect and given tax payer money because our political parties and institutions have a history of collaboration and assessing it is too uncomfortable.
    The church should be shunned.
