Dear Editor

It’s shocking what has happened in Rotherham, and probably other cities
and towns across the country. For the sake of community harmony and the
police / social services not to be seen as racist, 1400 children are
sexually abused. The middle class liberals should hold their head in
shame.

This is the whole problem with political correctness it covers up the
truth so not to offend. It is true that the truth often offends. It’s
also true that when the truth is spoken problems get solved quickly.

What the middle class liberals doesn’t understand is that they are more
despised by the Muslims than any other type of British person,
particularly when it comes to gay and women’s rights. If anyone other
than a Muslim man was to order their women folk to hide themselves in a
burqa it would be seen as sexist.

In the Rotherham report it labels the perpetrators as Asian men, when in
actual fact most were Pakistani men, this casts a dark cloud over Indian
men. So by the report writers trying too not to offend, they have caused
exactly that, by insinuating Indian men are largely to blame also.

These Pakistani gangs will be allowed to operate with impunity if we
deny their existence in other areas of our country, in some sort of
twisted attempt to be anti-racist and culturally sensitive. The middle
class liberals, are loath to admit what it is going on. If we do not
tackle the problem head-on, and work together to combat this dreadful
abuse of children, the only beneficiaries will be the criminals.

there have been a stream of 'reports' of failures by 'social'
'services' stretching back several decades...

they are then stuck on dusty shelves and ignored...




The sensitivities surrounding race issues were an element of the problem
in this case.

Yet it's not a radically different picture in many other counties,
regardless of the ethnicity of those involved.

Often, when it comes to child protection authorities go for the easiest
cases instead of the most serious ones. Typically this will mean that
many of those children are taken from or refused custody are not those
endangering children to any great extent, but simply those unable to
defend themselves well. By contrast, offenders who do abuse and neglect
tend to have all the answers they want and the boxes ticked ready, and
get away with it.

In the Rotherham case we've a fairly small an insular community, which
allows those with influence to pull various levers to cover their tracks
such as silencing witnesses- perhaps with the threat of ostracisation or
reprisals.

Much the same is true amongst the upper classes where preferential
contacts with the law their influence brings makes the problem much
worse. Imagine a senior royal was a serial child abuser or even killer-
what would realistically be the chance of them being caught and
convicted? Even Cyril Smith was well and truly dead first and he wasn't
even cabinet level. The Jimmy Savile thing again emerging only after
he'd decomposed suggests others in rather higher places were up to the
same tricks and some of those didn't want him to talk which he may have
done if arrested alive.

Small rural communities are much like the ethnic ghettos, where everyone
knows everyone and is often related there's mutual interests in keeping
things under raps.

There's a danger that this will become an issue connected with just one
element of our society- it's not, many other similar situations exist in
all classes and ethnic groups around the UK. Whilst race might have been
the political hot potato hampering prosecution and protection in this
case, there are a multitude of other politically sensitive areas the kid
abusers can hide behind.
