Rishi Sunak criticises political correctness over grooming gangs
BBC ^ | 3 apr2023 | Jemma Crew & Tom Symonds

Posted on 01/05/2025 8:33:24 PM PST by Cronos

Victims of grooming gangs have been ignored because of political correctness, Rishi Sunak said as he set out plans for a police taskforce.

Specialist officers supported by the National Crime Agency will be sent to help forces with their investigations, the government said.

And better ethnicity data will help ensure abusers do not evade justice due to "cultural sensitivities", it added.

Labour said the proposals were "far too inadequate".

Under the new plans, more data on the make-up of grooming gangs, including ethnicity, would help ensure suspects "cannot hide behind cultural sensitivities as a way to evade justice", the government said.

On a visit to Rochdale the prime minister was asked if the focus by the home secretary on British-Asian men when discussing grooming gangs in parts of northern England was appropriate.

Mr Sunak said it wasn't right that cases of victims and whistleblowers had been "often ignored" by social workers, local politicians and the police in areas such as Rochdale, Rotherham and Telford - because of "cultural sensitivity and political correctness".

Earlier Sabah Kaiser, ethnic minority ambassador to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), said it was "very, very dangerous" to turn child sexual abuse "into a matter of colour".

She told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme: "Child sexual abuse does not have a skin colour, it doesn't have a religion, it doesn't have a culture. Child sexual abuse does not discriminate."

The white politicians did nothing. It took an Indian origin Hindu prime minister to re open.

And then the public voted in a white labour party whose leader actively looks the other way

Same thing will take place in USA when Indian-American Kash Patel takes over FBI.

Sunak is an empty suit who did nothing...absolutely nothing...but that nothing helped to water down any type of conservatism in England.

Wasn’t this guy the PM for a while? Couldn’t he have done more to raise awareness and throw some Pakistani pedophiles in prison?

Poison Sunak covered it all up just like Labor did, and imported hundreds of thousands of headcutters and poopers too.

First thing they should do is stop calling them "grooming gangs" and start calling them what they are: "raping and torturing gangs".

I’ll bet it does though.

I’ll bet it’s a lot more common among liberals.

It’s kind of crazy. For approximately 200 years, c. 1700-1900, the British bullied much of world. They were aggressive, badass imperialists whom most of the world feared. It seems that the great losses that the Brits endured with the wars of the 20th century took a severe tolling, transforming them from the bullies to the bullied. They’re now a pathetic, cuckholded lot that welcomes the dregs of humanity into their country and stands by idly while said dregs abuse the native women and girls. It’s a very sad and cautionary tale.

To hell with *cultural sensitivities*.

Rape is a crime.

Pedophilia is crime.

Prosecute it as such no matter what the ethnicity or *cultural* affiliations.

What do you mean? Turning a blind eye towards rape gangs?

Scripture is unambiguous about this evil — death is the consequence

I’ve been posting lists like this at FR for half a dozen years. The Fake Media on both sides of the pond is complicit in this via lying by omission. If I know about it, how do they not? The answer is they do know, but they knowingly hush it up.

God established the death penalty for certain crimes, and that before the Law. It was expanded on in the Law.

It’s not unscriptural at all.

“better ethnicity data”? The UK won’t use it. Ethnicity may give you leads on who is doing these crimes, and who is likely to offend, but I would be shocked if the UK uses that information to police their communities.

Brit history is full of Royals, Lords, and Elite doing the samething. Like our Polsm they get away with it. Church both Protestant and Catholic is involved too.

No. My comment was in response to poster who said a Hindu politician Rushi Sunak was the only one spoke out against the rale gangs, While all others are silent.
