I agree with HM The King, the law must take its course. But, I know I’m not alone in looking forward to the day there’s a headline about rich and powerful men being investigated and held to account for the systematic trafficking and rape of hundreds of girls and young women.

Kieran Usher, 32, has pleaded guilty to riot for his role in the Sunderland violence
He was the first adult in England to be charged with the offence following the disorder over the summer
First 3 jailed for violent disorder in Sunderland
Andrew Smith, 41, of High Street East, Sunderland, jailed for 26 months
Josh Kellett, 29, of Southcroft, Washington, jailed for 2 and a half years
Leanne Hodgson, 43, of Holborn Road, Sunderland, jailed for 2 and a half years
Steven Mailen, 54, and his partner Ryan Sheers, 29 - who was bitten by a police dog - were each jailed for 26 months for their role in the Hartlepool disorder
He had also been at the bingo on the 31st July - he was celebrating his 18th birthday with his family before he went to get involved in the riot
Been in Newcastle this evening where there were hundreds of counter protestors - lots of people told me how overwhelmed they were at the turnout (but many also not surprised!)

Last night I witnessed some of the most disgusting and vile behaviour I’ve ever seen in Sunderland. I hope I never see anything like it again. I wrote this piece about what I experienced. Have a read if you like: chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor…
Really heartwarming scenes in Sunderland where people are out already cleaning up after last night’s disorder
