To get back to Rotherham the Independant in the UK has this opinion piece today....

The situation on Rotherham Council is now beyond what can be accepted as your standard political farce. The entirety of Labours cabinet has had to resign as a result of complicity in the sexual abuse scandal that took place on its watch.

Whether this was turning a blind eye to systematic rape and grooming of young girls, or whether it was ignorance of the matter, there is no doubt in my mind that in 21st-century Britain, such events cannot be tolerated.

This not only refers to the disgusting acts themselves, but the disgraceful way in which Rotherham Councils leadership has conducted itself.

Dont forget, this is the very same council that decided that Ukip supporters could not foster and raise children such are its priorities. But because of political correctness, and its refusal to accept that its doctrine of multiculturalism was fundamentally flawed, it failed to act when rape gangs of Pakistani origin descended upon the unsuspecting children in the town.

The full story here...

I see a very popular English name amongst these British citizens! Mohammed! Isn't that the name of the Muslim prophet! Are these not shining examples of their prophet. He liked under age girls too!

I guess they got a little xtra help from the Halifax plod turning a blind eye. Perhaps it would be simpler for the press to start reporting on towns which don't suffer from a Pakistani Muslim rape epidemic.

Not a word from Labour head office.

As it emerged that a string of those responsible have gone on to lucrative jobs at other councils some in charge of safeguarding children the Labour former deputy council leader Jahangir Akhtar was asked if he wanted to apologise to the victims of sexual abuse.

In response, he shouted: Absolutely not go away. He refused to open the front door of his £150,000 detached home near the centre of Rotherham.

Mr Akhtar, 54, who has previously been pictured standing shoulder to shoulder with Labour leader Ed Miliband, was forced to step aside from his role as deputy leader following allegations that he had been involved in a deal to help a relative accused of grooming an underage girl. He then lost his seat to Ukip at last years local elections.

Meanwhile, Shaun Wright head of childrens services at Rotherham council from 2005 to 2010 who was forced to quit as South Yorkshire police commissioner after fierce criticism of his role yelled abuse when questioned about the report by a reporter.

Sadly.

As I posted yesterday, there are currently just over 100 active investigations ongoing.

It is now getting so bad that even the resident apologists have disappeared.

[Jay Sata]

There was an interesting report in the Daily Telegraph last autumn which is worth reading with hindsight.

An unhealthy brand of politics imported from Pakistan is partly to blame for the cover-up of mass child abuse in Rotherham and other British cities, a campaigning MP has claimed.

Simon Danczuk, who helped expose a pattern of grooming of white teenage girls by men from a Pakistani background in Rochdale, where he is the Labour MP, said a culture of intimidation and closing of ranks within parts of the Asian community had mired politics in towns and cities across northern England for years.

He said Asian councillors were under constant pressure from the community to conform and other politicians acquiesced for fear of being accused of racism, failing to face up to evidence of abuse as a result.

Last week a scathing inquiry report said there had been a blatant failure of leadership from politicians and council officials in Rotherham over the sexual abuse of at least 1,400 children over 16 years.

Mr Danczuk said the elements of Pakistani political culture itself were partly to blame for the cover-up.

There are cultural issues around the way politics are done in the Asian community which have to change, he said.

It's a real shame. Because multicultural Britain is okay. Indians, Chinese, South Americans, Rastas! . . . hell even Australians . . . just great. All get along well and work and pay tax or grow weed.

But I've come to the conclusion that the biggest threat to multiculturalism is you know what and it needs to go. There's no place for it in the UK. It's insidious and it's evil.

As a shapshot in 2012 there were about 7.7 million children in the UK aged 10 to 19. Assuming the very large majority of victims are in this age group, this MP is trying to say that there are about one in 8 children in the UK who have have been victims of sexual abuse? If so child sexual abuse must be endemic across all sectors of UK society.

A 2011 study by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre looked at the 2,379 potential offenders caught grooming girls since 2008. Of 940 suspects whose race could be identified, 26% were Asian, 38% were white and 32% were recorded as unknown. Asians are roughly 7% of the population.

Yes, from the report grooming offending by "asians' have a large percentile as a representative of total population. However, does not refute the alledged high level of child sexual abuse committed in the UK by the non Muslim community (correct me if I'm wrong) that does not appear to be highlighted in media reporting. From the report...

Meanwhile, group grooming is a small part of the sexual abuse threat facing Britain's children. Some of those working in protecting children from sexual abuse worry that the wrong message is being given about who poses dangers to children from the media coverage of "Asian grooming gangs". They say the biggest dangers are not just on the street, but online, and the totality of abuse shows far more white people are perpetrators.

Rotherham sex abuse victims 'complained about PC Hassan Ali'

Two child sex abuse victims complained about a South Yorkshire Police officer before he was fatally injured in a car crash, their lawyer has said.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-31205274


Mitigating . . .

Mr Greenwood said the complaints were about PC Ali's "unwillingness to pursue complaints of exploitation".

David Crompton, Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police, said Mr Ali was a "well-liked officer" and colleagues had been left "devastated" by his death.

A few well timed words of advice from Prince Charles in todays UK newspapers.....

Prince Charles risked provoking a new political and religious storm yesterday when he said Muslims living in the UK should follow British values.

In a staunch defence of Britain's 'Christian standpoint,' he denounced the radicalisation of young Britons by Islamic fanatics and said they should show more respect to 'the values we hold dear'.

People who had 'come here, were born here or go to school here' should 'abide by our values,' he said. His comments were made as he started a six-day tour of the Middle East, seen as another stage in assuming more of the Queen's international duties.

We are endlessly told on here to respect Thai values and culture and we are not even residents.

What is so controversial about stating the same for immigrants to the UK?

Australia has quite plainly stated the same and if immigrants can't do that, they should leave.

Frankly, a minority of Muslims use the very freedoms offered by democracy to stifle criticism and if criticism is forthcoming, they play the racism card.

The reason that this atrocity went on so long, was the fear of offending the Muslim community.

As someone who lived in Rotherham and worked for the council in which these events were covered up for many years, I wish I could join in your enthusiasm that the Rotherham electorate will see the light, unfortunately I think it's a misplaced hope. Since these events have come to light there has been at least two parliamentary elections, one caused by the imprisonment of the Labour MP for expense fiddling. So what was the reaction of the Rotherham electorate,

None whatsoever, they still voted labour, same as their parents and grandparents before them, talk about blinkered idiots.

Those 100+ active investigations are now starting to put scumbags in jail.

Esmatullah Haidaree, 46, of Farm Crescent, Slough, and Azim Ahmed, 23, of Diamond Road, Slough, were convicted at Reading Crown Court, in December.

Haidaree was found guilty of two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and four counts of sexual assault and Ahmed was convicted of five counts of sexual activity with a child.

The Slough Mayor has just resigned, apparently he made a serious error of misjudgement.

Good to see a horrific situation finally getting addressed. Depressing to imagine how many children were victimized over and over, first by their abusers and second by the authority figures who failed to protect them from their abusers.

Also depressing, but becoming more and more expected here, to see the racist accusations flying in the aftermath. After all the child sex abuse scandals involving White abusers and White authorities covering it up (Catholic Church, Westminster politicians, American public school systems, US Swimming, Australia Orthodox Jewish community in Chabad, the Northern Ireland/Australia child migrant scandal, private schools all over the world, etc.), those with a racial/religious act to grind must have been just chomping at the bit to get a scandal that was focused on a different community.
