Election Year or Fear!

Sorry RA that's not true.
Take the fiasco of the grooming gangs, which still goes on. Your answer to it everytime was, but but but there are White British peados as well.

Yes of course, but they are not operating in a tight catchment area, targetting vulnerable white girls only and belonging to a particular religion, from the same part of the world.
The native peado;s aren't being avoided by the social services/ councils/police either in case it causes a racial back lash.

That is the problem, stop being in denial and call out ANY PROBLEM ANYWHERE, no matter who it offends.
There is way too much cowardice in the authorities, to deal with issues caused by ethnic minorities in case it rocks the boat. If we are to be a multi cultural nation, then law/accontablity applies to all.

How bad is it, when a Muslin issue, thousands of miles away, is used a main selling point in a political campaign. Just to curry favour with Islam voters?
Obviously, Islam is more important to some, than the running of a country.

I bring it up…yes, but it isn’t an answer. As I’ve said before…I have never been someone who has disputed the existence of ‘grooming gangs’, and I have come across that scenario, professionally in Derby, so I do, or did, know what I was talking about.

Are, or were, there a minority of social workers/local council officials reluctant to acknowledge the problems for the reasons you suggest? I believe so…yes.

This doesn’t excuse it but I also, professionally, came across an alarming number of white, locally bred, parents and relatives who were a) complicit in not caring less what there kids were getting up to and b) involved in much more solitary s@xual exploitation of young girls including, on occasions, their own children, nieces and grandchildren.

It’s a particularly unpleasant can of worms Tricky and the biggest difference is that where the grooming gangs take a collective form the more ‘home grown’ exploiters/abusers are more likely to act alone. Doesn’t make a lot of difference to the victim but you can’t demonise one group while ignoring the other.
