When I wrote, some time ago, that The left is promoting paedophilia (again), I worried that I was over-doing it. Was it drawing too much of a conspiratorial bow? After all, it sounded uncomfortably close to the conspiracy theories of Pizzagate and QAnon.

If anything, I understated it.

From child drag queens stripping in gay bars while hooting adults throw money, to gay pride parades – complete with floats decorated in the paedophile’s flag colours – shown on toddler’s television, the left are creepy-crawling down the slippery slope of open paedophilia at an alarming rate.

The latest proof in the pudding comes from that bastion of British leftism, the BBC.

Just days ago, BBC Woman’s Hour tweeted the following:

What’s the best way to inform teenagers about porn? Should there be age-appropriate porn as has been suggested so they can learn about consent and what’s respectful and what’s not? What do you think?

Thousands of Twitter users were very quick to let the BBC know exactly what they think.

Absolutely not. Are you mad?

This is what child abusers would suggest. Through third parties.
Test the waters. Probe defences. Find weak spots. Seek to normalise.

You do realise that that would be a criminal offence?

Another user posed a counter-example for the wokesters at the Beeb to consider:

What’s the best way to inform teenagers about drugs? Should there be age-appropriate drugs as has been suggested so they can learn? What do YOU think?

BBC Woman’s Hour on Twitter

Others asked pertinent questions: Who suggested this? Are the BBC hobnobbing with child sex offenders? Wait – we know the answer to that (stage whispers: Jimmy Savile).

Who on earth would write something so vile as “porn for children”? Some sewer-dwelling Twitter nobody, no doubt.

Yes. She actually wrote this. The BFD.

Well, no actually. That tweet came from Flora Gill, a prominent British journalist, Oxford graduate, and daughter of a former Home Secretary. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone more Establishment British outside of Burke’s Peerage.

Gill quickly deleted the tweet, but that’s not the point: as one user replied, hers was just another probing feint in a long-term strategy. Incidents like this come along regularly: almost every six months, like clockwork. Some prominent blue-tick tweets some greasy pro-paedophilia nonsense. They get beaten up online for it. Rinse and repeat.

Because, while the majority (for now) react with appropriate outrage and horror, every time it happens, even just one or two people are persuaded.

As Anglican minister and blogger David Robertson predicted: after SSM, it would be Transgender and then the removal of gender altogether (this is all classic Queer Theory) and that this would then be followed by polyamory, polygamy, incest and then paedophilia. People think the latter especially is unlikely. I don’t agree. The way it will happen is for paedophilia first of all to be defined as an illness and a sexuality. Then in popular culture, we will gradually get ‘Lolita’ stories seeking to make a sympathetic ‘non-judgemental’ case.

We’re already past that point. The “NoMaps” movement is indeed trying to reframe paedophilia as an oppressed sexuality, and they’ve been getting plenty of sympathetic coverage from the mainstream left media. With astonishing speed, we’ve careened down the slippery slope further than anything Robertson gloomily predicted.

We’re at the “Porn 4 Kids” stage.

Which, as another Twitter user responded to Flora Gill, is exactly how groomers operate. As they knew from horrific experience, would-be abusers use porn to soften up their child targets.

Gill is now pleading that, because she deleted the tweet, everyone should just forget about it and “let it go”. But, as many responded: she is a journalist. Words are her living. She thought about this, composed it, and put it out there.

Besides, as another pointed out: “I’m just thinking about how quickly and how horribly and for how long you would drag an MP for example or any public figure, non-journalist obviously, were the positions reversed.”

In the meantime, the relentless slither of the normalisation of paedophilia inches along.

That’s not the kind of BBC we want on Peppa Pig. The BFD. Photoshop by Lushington Brady.
