Foxy,
You can try and play the Rotherham scandal down but to no avail. It is bigger than Ben Hur in the UK and is expanding as more information comes to light.

You don't like it because it is yet another slur against your beloved multiculturalism ideology. Face it MC is the basic problem here, simply because of the importation of persons of different culture and different social standards. There is one glaring similarity between Rotherham and the 60 gang rapes in Sydney, 2000. The perpetrators in both consider the anglo girls to be whores and can be treated however they wish. That is muslim culture and the males are taught this from the cradle. That is the reason they were targeted. So the simple fact is that we have allowed the importation of groups with different standards in the mistaken belief that they will integrate and be part of our society.

Those that support MC and diversity have much to answer for, both here and the UK.

Dear Banjo,

I am not trying to "downplay" anything.
What I am doing is presenting information to you.
How you take this information - is something
over which I don't have any control, however
I feel obliged to continue.

According to the link given below - only a tiny
minority of Muslim men were involved in abusing
girls. Furthermore, it has become apparent that
many Muslim girls were abused too - but a culture
of shame stopped them from coming foreword.

We're told that the truth about child sex abuse in
Rotherham is that, at the highest level of the
local Establishment - nobody cared.

Ultimately this, more than "political correctness"
or race explains why the tragic victimisation and
abuse of these girls could have happened on such a
scale and continued for so long.

The link makes it quite clear that it was a toxic mix
of class and misogyny. A few of the girls were from
middle-class homes, but the majority were working-class
girls, many of them in care.

It is not just their abusers who thought they were
"worthless." So did the police, councillors, and local
"worthies" who dismissed these girls as "rubbish" not
worth bothering about.

Foxy,
Recognize the comparisons you make to down play Muslim rapes importantly are dealt with differently by the authorities in the UK; supposedly justified on cultural background. No child rape is to be accepted in Western culture as OK and is a punishable criminal offense. Culture should not be considered if the child is groomed for sex in Western society. Our laws apply in our Culture.

Dear Josephus,

We cannot even even begin to calculate the damage
these crimes have done to the victims in the UK.

However comparisons between countries are useless
without looking critically at motivation, circumstances,
context, or any other such considerations.

Of course some people are more interested in condemnation
than in explanation. Explanations seem tantamount to
sympathizing and excusing.

Foxy, you ALWAYS avoid calling a spade a spade.
No matter what the discussion is about you always lean over backwards
to avoid facing the truth about Labour, migrants, moslems etc etc etc.

Any comment against multiculturalism brings you out to defend the indefensible.
In our case it got stopped because the police were not intimidated by
political correctness as were the UK police.
The reason of course is lower concentration of moslems in the population.
Just wait for a few years and the polulation ratio will make you happier.

Fox,

What you failed to mention about that cherry-picked article you linked to was that it was drafted by the Labour member in the safe seat of Hackney North and Stoke Newington. See here,

Readers would be well advised to read the telling readers' comments that slanted article sorely earned in reply. See below the article. Here is one off the top,

"It's the hypocritcal shamelessness of Ms Abbott's article that is so extraordinary. Anything, she believes, is preferable to acknowledging the truth.

The burden of her piece is that it's about class (i.e. somehow the guilty are white, and don't drive taxis for a living) and about gender (ignoring the fact that neither white men, nor most other immigrant males, are guilty of abusing children on an industrial scale).

Ms Abbott's mentality is part of the problem, rather than the solution."

Fox,
Your attitude too is part of the problem. Your cover-it-all-up spin does a very great disservice to the victims or to other migrants who do not bring such toxic values, traditions and political systems with them to be an everlasting blight on society.
