I am speaking of the Rothingham victims that were ignored by the police and city officials.
Indeed they were, and a disgraceful and despicable episode that was. But Rotherham was over a decade ago, and many lessons have been learned from it. We’re constantly reminded of Rotherham as if nothing has changed since then: but the attitude, policies and procedures of all the relevant agencies have changed out of all recognition in the intervening years. Witness the Huddersfield trials saga, and the various others (Oxford, Telford, etc) which preceded it.
I differ with Winnie and my opinion is close to yours, Sam, but I know that
1. I am prejudiced against muslims and believe they are mollycoddled and let to get away with stuff
2. I live in a different country and don’t visit often enough to get the ground realities
3. I see all sides of media exaggerating things.
I think the Muslim rape gangs were horrific. These were nearly exclusively muslims whose grandparents came from Mirza pur in Pakistan, a very traditional Islamic place. They all came as mill workers.
Their descendents saw the white underclass with no religion or morals and exploited it
The police looked the other way, afraid to be labelled racists.
All the while they also targeted Asian ie brown skinned Sikh girls as well.
Sikhs and Hibdus objected to the media and police clubbing the rapists under the term Asian.
Hindus in the UK are law abiding and hate being clubbed with mirzapuris just because they have the same colour skin
