You've written a long post full of insults, assumptions about my motives, and speculation about whom I supposedly listen to, but you've largely ignored what I actually said. I questioned the reliability of a specific figure because evidence matters. Challenging an unsupported statistic is not the same as excusing the crimes. Those crimes were horrific, and those responsible should face the full force of the law, regardless of their ethnicity or religion. Where we differ is that you seem determined to argue against positions I haven't taken. I haven't blamed every Pakistani or every Muslim, just as I wouldn't blame every white person for the crimes of the KKK or every Catholic for the actions of abusive priests. Individuals are responsible for their crimes. At the same time, acknowledging that there have been cases where offenders from particular backgrounds were disproportionately represented in certain local grooming gang cases. Examining whether authorities failed to act because they feared accusations of racism is a legitimate subject of public debate. It is possible to discuss those issues without descending into collective blame. The irony is that your post condemns stereotyping while stereotyping anyone who disagrees with you as racist, Islamophobic, a Tommy Robinson supporter, an Elon Musk follower, unintelligent, poor, and a "Boomer." That's a remarkable amount of prejudice packed into one comment. If we're going to have this discussion, let's stick to evidence instead of caricatures. Insults don't strengthen an argument. Facts do. Anyway, I'll leave it at that because you do what all ridiculous lefties do when they are losing a debate. That is to rant, throw the baby out with the bathwater, resort to attacks such as Nazi, Bigot, Straw man etc. You need to grow up.
