Dear All
Today was good day for Justice in Scotland.
Six men involved in one of Scotland's worst paedophile rings got heavy jail sentences. A judge at the High Court in Edinburgh sentenced these criminals to between 2 and 20 years.
Neil Campbell of Bearsden, received five years four months; John Milligan, 40, Govan who got 20 years; Ross Webber, 27, North Berwick, 10 years nine months; Craig Boath, 24, Dundee, 11 years nine months; John Murphy, 44, Govanhill, two years; and Colin Slaven, 23, Edinburgh four years.
Not long enough in my opinion.
Two other criminals, Neil Strachan, 41, and James Rennie, 38 (pictured), were found guilty of conspiring to abuse youngsters and will be sentenced next month. Rennie was Chief Executive of LGBT Youth Scotland and Strachan also held a respectable job which allowed them opportunities to pray on kids.
One can only hope that Strachan and Rennie get a sentence so high that they will both need wheelchairs to leave prison. Life in their cases should mean exactly that.
One wonders how many young kids these ‘people’ damaged to get their sick kicks.
Yours sincerely

People have to understand that phedos make long term plans to find careers that will bring them into contact with children & social services is just such a career. - it's of course a shame but that is why many who become scout masters etc tend to be under suspicion & it's why & despite the CRB the country is losing volunteers soon there won't be any
Dear Anon
I agree with you that there is a problem with people refusing to volunteer because of intrusive background checks.
Years ago I used to teach kids in a karate class, I really enjoyed it but it was hard work.
My fav incident was the night the head of the Karate Club lined up the entire club and spoke to the kids class.
He said to the kids that they could have a pick of any of the club instructors to teach them even him, a second dan.
Every single one in a line of circa 20 kids said, "George", after losing the popular vote, he then made his case why they should pick him.
"George"!
The rest of the adults stood and watched this and sniggered.
I even won the parent vote as they would come and see me about how the kids were doing instead of him.
It was one of the funniest nights I experienced in that club. In this case I beat the old maxim of never work with children and animals!
