Police and social services cover up Muslim grooming gangs in case it caused racial tension.

We knew that didn't we?

The people in the police and social services who knew about this and did nothing need to be prosecuted.

First thing on the agenda if the groomers are imprisoned should be castration!

rusty razor blade is still too sharp, blunt hacksaw blade much better.

That's the whole point we did but we did nothing about it, yet being accused of racism against Megan Marble.
Excuse previous post all down to predictive text.

[naomi24]

aog, I know. (I don't think Meghan should be dragged into this thread).

Sexually abusing our British children, their young lives are ruined, their abusers should be sent straight back to the cesspits they come from.

[anotheoldgit]

Why not? Is it only the British who can be accused of racism?

// we did nothing about it, yet being accused of racism against Megan Marble. //

That was one hell of a clang when you bolted those two unrelated topics together.

Yes, it's a scandal.
In West Yorkshire, members of the Police Force (unsurprisingly, from the same community as the perpetrators) have been prosecuted because they were complicit in the abuse.
Just recently, Manchester appointed its Deputy Chief Constable from that area! How is that going to inspire confidence? The failures of the West Yorkshire Force are every bit as bad as Greater Manchester's.

v-e sadly missed at times like these, he took no prisoners.

If Maggie Oliver hasn't yet been honoured then she should be.

Anyone in the public sector over the last thirty years knows this. A car was vandalised in our school car park, deputy head apoplectic until the culprit was discivered, then we had to be 'sensitive' to the 'community's' reaction.

Very simplistic, they were between a rock and a hard place. Especially after the Stephen Lawrence report of 'institutionalised' racism the r-word was the trump card.

[ProfessorMaisie]

I think this excuse - fear of being thought racist/community tensions - hides a less palatable truth.

[ludwig]

// Very simplistic, they were between a rock and a hard place. //

It's not a good enough excuse zebo. There were those among them that were trying to do the right thing like Maggie Oliver who were ignored. People knew who the perpetrators were and who the victims were and they made a decision to let the crimes continue. ie to continue allowing children to be raped, because it was less troublesome than actually doing anything about it.

In my opinion this makes them not only guilty of misdemeanour in public office, but accessories to the actual abuse itself.

[naomi24]

^Absolutely right. There are no excuses.

[LadyCG]

Castrate, confiscate all money and assets for the victim(s) and deport.

That would be my choice.
