“James Bulger’s mother Denise Fergus finally has a vote as MPs set to discuss case” – Voice of the People

For 29 years, Denise has demanded that the boy – now a man – who killed her toddler never walk loose. She had a meeting with Dominic Raab and now James’ case is being discussed in Parliament

It was a 29-year fight for Denise Fergus.

When her son James was so brutally kidnapped all those years ago, she vowed to see justice for him.

Despite her tears and pain, she kept fighting. Now she finally has a breakthrough.

Nothing is more frustrating than feeling that politicians are not listening, losing touch.

For 29 years, Denise has been asking her to get her opinion that the boy – now a man – who killed her toddler should never be allowed to roam free.

This newspaper and its readers stood by her.

We lobbied for Justice Secretary Dominic Raab to meet Denise. And finally he did.

Thanks to this meeting, James’ case is being discussed in Parliament and a public inquiry is one step closer.

Denise said, “This will be the start of something that will leave a legacy in James’ name.”

It will.

Your actions and courage will help thousands of families.

An investigation and the truth that follows will bring some comfort.

Of course, Denise will never fully heal. Never quite getting over the death of her little boy.

But this will help.

She has finally been heard. At last a Parliament that can seem so far away and so caught up in its little quarrel has turned its attention to something vital.

It’s a shame it took nearly three decades for Denise to be heard.

But eventually James’ name will ring out in Westminster, brought there by the mightiest of forces – a mother seeking justice for her murdered son.

A mother who would never give up.

Get to the bottom of the causes

Today we bring you shocking news about the extent of sexual assault at UK universities. The government has vowed to crack down on these horrific attacks, but there’s a limit to what it can do.

And the root of the problem needs to be investigated and properly addressed. Blame porn, hypersexualized TV and movies, or any of the myriad factors responsible for today’s world’s confused youth culture.

But whatever the reasons, the real cure is education and a reversal of the toxic masculinity that is sweeping society and putting so many of our young people at risk.
