Dear Bazz,

Thank You for your opinion.

Inevitably, all of us are guilty of some measure
of bias - the tendency, often unconscious, to
interpret facts according to one's own values,
education, and experience. And this becomes
particularly acute in issues whose subject
matter involve deep human and moral concerns.

However, I do try to make a deliberate effort
to be conscious of my own biases and
through vast efforts of research - I try to
present a variety of different perspectives on
the topics under discussion. I try to be
intellectually honest, and I make
a genuine attempt to relentlessly hunt down the
relevant facts and present them accordingly.

As Albert Einstein stated, "Any fool can know.
The point is to understand."

Of course one will always encounter opposition from
certain minds. That's part and parcel of forums
such as this one.

Jay,
Thanks for the articles on Sheperton. That news doesn't get this far north. I wonder why we still import refos from Afghanistan when they have a history of abusing little boys and girls. A while ago one tried to steal a little girl and the magistrate dismissed the case because of culture.

If you hear more let us know.

I think it is important to let our polys know about our views on these issues as one day they may just decide to abandon MC and get a practical migration policy with Aus interests in mind. It does require some extra effort to let them know but the squeaking door is the one that gets oiled, eventually.

Rotherham is almost unbelievable and it could happen here. Just think if that sheila Nixon was in charge of CSE cases.

Foxy is not downplaying the issue.
You are using it, and the victims, to promote your hatred of multiculturalism.
You dont give a toss about the victims. Except in that you can use them to show how the evil muslims cant integrate.
Bigotry pure and simple.
Shame on you.

Mikk, before you can fix a problem you have the acknowledge the source
of the problem.
The cause is the attitude of moslem men to women and their racial
attitudes to non Arabs and non Moslems.

It really is as simple as that.

Mikk,
Racism isn't normally based on projection of any internalised anxieties or fears and it doesn't necessarily mean that racists themselves are bad people, there are good racists and bad ones, just like there are good and bad anti-racists.
Racists as a rule are more critical of institutions than of individuals or groups of people, even the posts on the scuzzier anti immigration Facebook groups boil down to "Why do they let these people into the country?"

Foxy>> 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.<<

There may be something to that Foxy. Perhaps girls from a lower socio economic background are expendable. Would there have been a more rigorous response if the girls were from the upper class?....I would guess yes.

Looking at the British authorities and Jimmy Saville, you have to ask how he could spend a lifetime molesting the defenceless children while it was widely known in the upper circles of society. The punter did not know, in fact he was a local hero to the plebs.
