A number of these Grooming Gang crimes have been committed in heartland communities , Huddersfield , Rochdale and Rotherham off the top of my head and there's a few more too .
At a time when the party is fighting for it's political existence in the heartlands it seems to me to be an appointment that's lacking in any kind of thought .
The three towns mentioned are surrounded by other towns and city's and so the crimes are greatly felt by a huge number of people who do not necessarily live within the borough of those towns .
When people vote Tory for the first time as they did at the last election they will find anything to justify doing just that because it was for many a very uncomfortable thing to do .
This is another one of those London type decisions in my opinion from the Labour Party and show there's a huge amount of work to be done in the heartlands to reconnect with the electorate .
Extremely poor appointment .
