The article title is misleading:

Nick Lidstone, 54, was sentenced to 14 and a half years in prison by Judge Anthony Bate at Norwich Crown Court after pleading guilty to 13 offences that included three counts of rape, three of indecency with a child, various sexual assualts and taking an indecent photograph of a child.

Anyway, why is this happening? Are there not enough women on the island? Maybe there is prolific repression? Why is the UK a place of constant homo and pedo tension?

I blame immigrants and the banks.

I know you're being facetious in this but this is basically what Thork will say, so I'd like to take this moment to point out this guy is whiter than his own teeth.

This isn't just the UK. This happens all the time all over the world.

What's the issue here? (other than the obvious pedo-tension)

The UK currently has an abnormally high instance of pedo tension. The issue is that, even knowing this, the UK is doing very little about it and giving them laughable sentences.

Didn't they give Rolf Harris a big kick in the nads?

In seriousness, I suspect this has more to do with media coverage than the actual amount of instances. British media enjoy talking about sex, for some reason.

Almost. I think the British media enjoy talking about anything that they think will frighten people.

I see.


Each red dot on this map is the approximate location of a computer or cluster of computers that are transmitting images of child abuse – aka child pornography…

Depending on how literally you mean "transmitting", this might just be a map of routers on the Internet. Since no detailed source has been provided for the claim, I'm going to assume that's the case and declare your post irrelevant.

Also, "child abuse" and "child pornography" are not the same thing. It is possible to abuse children in a non-sexual way, and depending on whom you ask, it might also be possible to have sex with children in a non-abusive way.

Quotation marks are the accepted standard for indicating quotes. Furthermore, a quote is not complete unless accompanied by a reference to the source. The whole point of a quote is that it's somebody else's words, and if nobody knows who else's words they are, we can only act under the assumption that you intend to back them up yourself.

Following the succession of links from here, I can see that you quoted a quote of a quote of a 404. Cool primary source, bro.

The last quote in the chain before hitting a 404 still doesn't explain exactly what is meant by "transmitting". Furthermore, it makes the claim that "The computers were identified by GUID (a unique serial number), not IP addresses", without any explanation of which piece of hardware (or software) that GUID refers to, how those GUIDs were discovered or how those GUIDs were mapped to physical locations.

Not only does my point stand, but you have raised even more questions in your attempt to address it. Please, spare us all the trouble and pick a real source next time.
