Dear Individual,

That's the whole point isn't it.

It's not what you look at that
matters - its what you see.

BTT

Organised gangs can groom, molest and rape 1,400 girls over decades with authorities AND THE MEDIA being aware, but no official heads have rolled.

Why not? What is going wrong and apparently, is unlikely to be fixed without external public pressure?

"Rotherham researcher 'sent on diversity course' after raising alarm
The Home Office researcher was told to "never, ever" repeat evidence, contained in her 2001 report, that most of the perpetrators were Asian men [Pakistani]

A researcher who raised the alarm over the sexual abuse of teenage girls in Rotherham more than a decade ago was sent on a 'ethnicity and diversity course' by child protection bosses who refused to act on her evidence.

The researcher, who was seconded to Rotherham council by the Home Office, was told she must "never, ever" again refer to the fact that the abusers were predominantly Asian men.

Speaking to the BBC's Panorama programme under the condition of anonymity, the researcher said that she identified more 270 victims of trafficking and underage prostitution by mainly Muslim gangs in Rotherham.

But, despite being sent to Rotherham Council, the report - based on interviews with underage girls seeking help from the council's anti-child prositution project, called Risky Business - was never published.

Indeed, the council tried unsuccessfully to sack the researcher after she resisted pressure to change her findings.

Data to back up the report's findings also went missing from the Risky Business office the weekend after she submitted her report, the researcher told the programme.

It is quite obvious that something has seriously
gone wrong in Rotherham.

Public pressure certainly does need to be put on
the Council, the police, the social workers involved-
who worked on the day-to-day events - (and others involved) -
where were all these people - that this abuse was not prevented
and stopped for 16 years?

Foxy,

Yes, but sadly it appears the problem is above and beyond them.

Knowing the calibre of good, earnest citizens that one normally encounters as nurses, police and so on, there has to be serious systemic deficiencies that extend to the highest levels. You can bet your bottom dollar that there are bones bleaching in the sun of many whistleblowers who tried in vain to help those victims.

There is a coarse saying that *bleep* flows down from the top.

Yaaawwwnnn, this is getting boring. Let's agree to kill this discussion off, it's deteriorated to the point of going around in circles.

OTB, Individual, let it go.

Pericles,

Sorry I’m late in responding but am rather time poor.

You are deflecting, as all progressives do.

“That's a really profound contribution, Constance.”
Thanks.

“Yet I don't recall anyone suggesting that the cure for such a systemic moral black hole is to blame not only the individual criminals, not just the management hierarchy who covered up for them, but the Roman Catholic religion and everyone who practised it.”

Paedophilia is not exclusive to the largest institution in the world that is the Catholic Church, including the BBC. The rest - Wow.

“Britain was torn apart by two warring versions of Christianity for over a century. People were hanged without a second thought, simply because they were a) Protestant or b) Catholic. “

For a start, I don’t consider Islam a religion, it is more of a political cult except for the Sufis. You’re talking of another era and it is irrelevant as your comparison is Medieval vs Medieval, now it is Medieval vs Modern which is very different. Your example: all over a boil infested fat and lusty monarch with syphilis who wanted to get rid of a wife. Not exactly a holy start for the COE.

“Islam appears to be in the throes of the same disease. And once again, innocent citizens are targetted simply because they are either Sunni or Shia.”

But Muslims are also targeting non Muslims all round the world, in case you haven’t noticed.
