And, you know, to make that your sole campaigning point around issues of sexual abuse, when you've got historic scandals like Jimmy Savile being allowed to operate as a very well-known BBC entertainer for years and years.

Today in Focus

So there is plenty to talk about in that area.

And I think it's always a big red flag when you have a political campaigner

Like Rupert Lowe, just homing in on the one area of systematic abuse that allows him and others to make claims about Muslims, immigrants, cultural difference and so on.

He said he deserves credit for all the work that he's done around grooming gangs.

The thing is, the sliver of ground between where reform ends and where the fascists and neo-Nazis start is very, very thin.
