Dreadful.

[youngmafbog]

Another failing by the authorities.

We need something more than "lessons learnt".

[Garaman]

^^ Yes we do.

//Throws hands up in horror and asks 'how is this possible?'.//

Let's hear from some community leaders please.

[Jahulaye]

“Let's hear from some community leaders please.”

We don’t need words, we need actions.

Maybe posters are shying away because of the Daily Mail ...

It's about time some of these people in so-called Authority were prosecuted.

[Gromit]

From September 2016

// MP for Telford, Lucy Allan, called for an inquiry. She said she had had a meeting with a victim of the abuse, who told her that many of the worst offenders had not been prosecuted and were still living in the area. Allan said that she would be asking the prime minister, Theresa May, to take action. //

It would be astounding if we had a report of this sort and the authorities had leapt into action. For crying out loud what the hell is the matter with them all? It's blindingly obvious that lessons are NOT being learned. Jeez!

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

Can some fair-minded judge not make an example of these rats?

A very courageous young lady on the Maajid Nawaz show today.

More Muslim outrages but nut cases on here will try to defend them.
Let's get angry.

[naomi24]

Come on! What's wrong with you all? Embrace multiculturalism!!!

[Gromit]

// nut cases on here will try to defend them. //

No one is defending them. No one has EVER defended them on AB.

[vetuste_ennemi]

//No one is defending them. No one has EVER defended them on AB.//

But if we took away the "on AB" bit of that sentence, we'd be left with a statement which is demonstrably false.

Wouldn't we?

[Gromit]

VE,
The police and Council (and it seems HM Government) have been neglectful and clearly failed. Whether that translates as defending the groomers, I am not so sure.

[Togo]

//Whether that translates as defending the groomers, //

It does however translate as facilitating the perverts. Perhaps it is touted back home by them as one of the "benefits" of life in the UK. Ever likely millions of them want to move here. They don't even have to blow themselves up.

I think you've forgotten the various social services (most especially those concerned with the welfare of children), Gromit. And others who were almost certainly in the know, like NUT and NoJ. And the media which chose to suppress early reports of these abuses for reason which I'm sure made sense to them, but no moral sense to me. And of course the other pressure groups like Unite against Fascism which colluded in putting a false spin on the nature.

I might choose to qualify the negligence with the word "criminal".

But I dare say that Peter Pedant will appear at some point so explain why my view is proof of legal ingorance and stoopidity.

[vetuste_ennemi]

...false spin on the nature and extent of the rapists.

[jourdain2]

v-e Check my post 14.27 on 10th March 'Asian Grooming Gangs'. Afraid I misspelled Honeyford. There will be others.

[Gromit]

// And others who were almost certainly in the know, like NUT and NoJ. //

Not heard allegations about the NUT being complicit before. Do you have any proof ?
Is NoJ a typo, did you mean Ministry of Justice - MoJ ?
