How did Stephen Ireland, once a prominent figure in Pride in the UK and founder of the Pride in Surrey group, build trust, credibility and influence, while carrying out sexual crimes against children?
I’m no academic and nor a journalist, but I’m pleased to read this as I’ve written and sent a 24 page letter of concern to a local primary school because of worries that it’s teaching trans ideology in an uncritical way, as if it were settled science- and have used some of the examples you have here too 😊🙏Nice to know I was barking up the right tree 💝🙏
How is it that so many police and government agencies in the UK have become so - "pedophile-adjacent" - to the point of their ignoring child abuse reporting and thus being complicit in child abuse?
It's turning out a larger percentage of adults than we ever imagine are having or trying to have sex with children. It's utterly disgusting and it's not limited to one political party. DNA databases have shown us that children born of incest, previously thought to be one in 1M, are really one in 8K. That's not brothers and cousins marrying for the most part, it's rape of girls by fathers, uncles and brothers. And it's not people in "third world countries" who buy 23 and me kits, it's in the west. And we still have people killing themselves defending Epstein, Trump, Clinton and the rest of the pedophile billionaires purchasing kids for sex in order to win political debates. It's depressing.
I'm not at all surprised that so many men want to have sex with children. My childhood experiences and that of women I've known show that there are MANY who sleaze on girls under 16 - often MUCH younger. If I had had sex with the men that offered me money when I was 14/15 I would have made A LOT of money🤷♀️
Having secured gay marriage, legal protections and shifted social attitudes across the board, it´s safe to assume anyone pushing ´Pride´ or LGBTQ+ propaganda, especially if it´s towards under 18´s, is up to no good. Genuine lesbian women and gay men are Over The Rainbow.
This sounds exactly like every twisted minister or priest event I've ever heard of over the years, growing up in Indiana and hearing of youth guidance ministers building trust just to end up getting busted for child abuse during some church camping retreat, the methods of building trust to get to a position of power for that power and trust to be abused for their perversions over and over again, the majority by men but yes even though much more rare but yes some women too. It's horrific but there must be a better form of checks and having a better chaperone system that prevents to the best of it's ability the chances of these things being enabled to happen at all. It must end and it must be a drilled into laws in all global society and civilisations.
Please read this; I have this autumn written to all the Surrey Council Heads, and their licensing departments, and safeguarding under recorded delivery -regarding the sale of indecent material at the Pride in Surrey March in Guildford this year that the council advertised as family friendly. They have ignored me and so I WILL escalate the complaint. I have also raised this as a safeguarding crime to Surrey Police who initially tried to shut me down, so I escalated this to the IOPC and it is now being investigated by Surrey's Professional Standards team. The amount of silencing and pushback is remarkable and I am not intending to give up. Who am I? - nobody of importance - just someone who will fight and fight against injustice. If you want to join with me in action rather than complaining Julie can find me.
It's a story that is repeated time and again, only now women (who are overwhelmingly the carers and safeguarders of our children in the family and beyond) have been so disempowered, demoralised and discredited by the TQ+ it seems hopeless at times.
Thank the heavens for the women who persist despite the best efforts of those men and organisations at the heart of the abuse.
How have police forces allowed themselves to be so completely beguiled and conscripted they are now the protectors and stand-over merchants for malign men and their organisations?
Equality for TQ+ will be a big plank of society's ruin if it's allowed to continue unabated like this.
I see this often in the world of fostering, and when any of us point it out we do so very cautiously because as foster carers, if we lose our ‘job’ it means waving goodbye to children we’ve grown to love. It’s sad how fearful we’ve all become of speaking out, even when not doing so harms the children we’re supposed to protect :(
I repeatedly emailed Surrey County Council, Runnymede BC and Guildford Council to make them aware of the evidence presented at Ireland’s trial which indicated that Watts & Powell - who was groomed at 17 by Watts & Ireland - were not for and proper people to be running Pride in Surrey and that they should withdraw support, cancel Pride 2025 and launch an investigation.
They refused, citing their commitment to inclusion, & saying if I had any concerns I should contact Surrey Police. I suggested that given SurreyCC’s legal duties to safeguard children, they should be proactively listening to concerns rather than suggesting they’d respond after children were confirmed to be harmed.
There would have been no point complaining to a force that had bent over backwards to ingratiate themselves with a paedophile, and whose Chief Constable Gavin Steohens suggested the female PCC should ingratiate herself with him. Stephens who now leads the NPCC, & did his utmost to enable male trans identifying officers to continue to strip search female detainees, and compel his female officers to strip search trans identifying male detainees.
The Pride Hub is still operating, and Powell invited Sarah Jane Baker, one of the most dangerous men to be walking the streets of the UK to perform there after Ireland was jailed. Vulnerable children in Surrey are still at risk of grooming, and the bodies that should be protecting them are still failing them because of their blind, wilful & cynical commitment to “inclusion”.
Well done Julie on your bravery and excellent journalism. I listened to some woman on Shelagh Fogarty on LBC who was giving some woolly view regarding the Surrey Women institute's stance on no longer allowing trans women. Shelagh was her usual intelligent polite self but when I heard Surrey I thought oh of here we go again.

Yep. Including male relatives. 🤮

Wouldn't touch Pride with a bargepole.
Such a simple concept to understand. You'd have to be willfully blind to miss this.

New setting, same pattern. Thank you for covering this story.
The security guy who said your questions were ‘making people uncomfortable’ gave the game away! Well done.

Massive failures yet again by failing frightened cops .. shame on them all . Those poor kids ..
