Never have I seen a phrase so fitting for KA
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
Mark Twain
All I remember from you and the left-wing posters on here was the usual denial, victim-blaming and whataboutism.
Maybe the BNP did exploit it but that's hardly the relevant point.
They were willing to listen to the victims whereas the police, council, local MPs and press weren't.
Kerr agree with most of that but in relation to the above, I seem to remember ongoing commentary suggesting a "cover up" although it may not have been in a report. The suggestion was also given more credibility when a load of files pertaining to case went missing in mysterious circumstances.
On a less abstract point, gf makes a point about the Rotherham CSE scandal. Neither report into it suggests that it was covered up in the way that he suggests, but both confirm that there was a fear about mentioning the ethnicity of the majority of perpetrators. Surely you can accept that didn't help to address the issue and to protect children?
I think if you read between the lines there was some murky activity on behalf of the council, who lets face it have a large rap sheet
