Do You Agree With The Labour Mp For Rotherham That There Is A Link Between Ethnic Backgrounds And A Propensity To Commit Certain Crimes?

/// But her comments are likely to be criticised by those who say they risk cultivating racist attitudes by implying a link between ethnic background a propensity to commit certain crimes. ///

One must surely ask, does the introduction of different cultures also introduce more crime?

If they are not literate enough to know the law, they are told the instance they cross the line - not months or years after dithering about for fear of who know what.

Who's running these outfits that are supposed to be protecting our youngsters when it takes feisty women like the social worker in Rochdale to virtually do their job for them?

[ToraToraTora]

the MP is bang on, everyone is terrified of being labelled with an "ism".

/// but all must be taught that the laws of the land they inhabit apply to them too, that should go across the board. ///

If only Mam, if only, but that would only happen in Utopia.

It's not rocket science...

[Mamyalynne]

Well, I am too often accused of fence sitting - it seems to me the people we pay to protect us are doing that far too often.

[vetuste_ennemi]

...when it takes feisty women like the EX-social worker in Rochdale ...

Oh, and the EX-policewoman who was investigating the Rochdale rapes.

Welcome to the firm ground on the other side of the fence Mam.

[anotheoldgit]

But it is not fair to only place our problems at the door of the Asians, we have seen an increase in other crimes brought on by other immigrant groups.

Knife crime, Drug crime and Fraud crime to name just three.

[Mamyalynne]

My feet have always been firmly planted on the ground, trust me.

I missed one from my list, Modern Day Slavery.

ethnics have arranged marriages and it not the norm for them to have a string of girlfriends in their teens like most teens do in the west, and it is frowned upon to mix in western teen culture..less you offend the community islam etc, and as has been said white girls are considered sluts and unworthy of respect, i wonder if that includes japanese or chinese koreans ? i guess any one not muslim, is unworthy..sad ideology and so backward thinking.

Which immigrant groups would that be?

There's a feature on the BBC News right now which refers to modern day slavery - which groups (in your opinion) are involved?

I only ask, because you are much better placed than the rest of us to comment, as you have far more experience in reading up on this.

By the way - I think it's fantastic that you've shone a light on this. The problem we have on AB (specifically) is that these issues aren't discussed enough, so we remain ignorant of the dangers to our young girls.

No matter what people say about you (especially those who may say that you have an obvious agenda), you should continue highlighting this issue.

Please reread your post from 16:14 and tell the rest of us whether it makes sense.

I'm sure it does to you, but honest - it looks like you've taken a Scrabble bag of letters, thrown it up in the air, and then written down everything that has landed on the living room floorr.

Seriously - reread it, and you'll see what I mean.

It's all very...Fraggle Rock.

The Arabs have always, and still are, the purveyors of slaves.

[sp1814]

Khandro

Wait...what?

What has that got to do with the thread?

Is Pakistan now in Arabia?

So confusing.

[sp1814]

By the way AOG, I totally agree with Ms Champion.

When it come to protecting children, sensitivities need to be set aside.

Would you agree with that?

[mikey4444]

No I don't.

TTT said, at 14:14 :::::"The general belief from Muslim men is that western women are fair game"

Rowlocks. Just because some Muslim men think that, it doesn't mean that all Muslim men do. Tarring millions of people with the same brush doesn't make it true.

If this was going on for years, until something was done about, like in Rochdale, then blame the various Authorities, not an entire religion.

One of the good things to come out of this is that the perpetrators have been caught now, whilst the crimes are still fresh.

I'm sure that AOG will agree that it's better that this comes out now, and prosecutions are handed down, rather than what we've gone through over the past half decade where it seemed that every male celebrity from the 70s an 80s were raping any young girl who strayed into their path.

AOG - would you agree that the fact that these vulnerable young girls are being believed is a major step forward. I say that because there some people who don't treat historical sex abuse cases with the gravity they deserve.

sp; You asked which groups are involved in modern day slavery and I told you.
