Why try and gloss the facts over?

Once more ghastly crimes committed by ethnics but the authorities are uncomfortable about discussing it in case they are branded racist.

/// In both cases, they were white girls and the gang members were Asian.///

/// Emma says: ‘Most of the men running the sex slave gangs in the north of England are Asians of Pakistani origin. But very few of the authorities will admit this.’///

/// Is she right to say so? If she is, why are so few people in officialdom willing to discuss the issue?///

...btw - where were the "insults"? If you site this as an example /// only the most narrow minded moron would quote from nasty right-wing little tabloids like the Daily Mail and actually believe it.///
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt assuming you are intelligent enough to not necessarily believe all you read in the (soft strong, and highly absorbant) Daily Opps-Me-Bogroll's-Run-Out ;-)

/// my bitter and twisted friend ///

I am neither bitter, twisted or your friend, but then I suppose everyone who disagrees with you are bitter & twisted, even Mohammed Shafiq, it would seem.

/// that bum-wipes like the Daily Mail ///

Well what can one say? Disgusting expletives, when one lacks the intelligence to describe one's pet hate any other way.

/// to manipulate the angry and intolerant. ///

No one MANIPULATES me, not even the 'PC Brigade'. ANGRY? Yes to see what some people are prepared to accept in case they are called racist, and INTOLERANT yes, of scum such as these that will commit such crimes.

For all those other doubters here is a Times/Sunday Times link dated September 30, 2007, when a similar case was reported and the question was asked, "Why are the authorities so reluctant to get involved"?

http://www.timesonlin...me/article2538090.ece

/// In 2004, a controversial documentary on the topic of Asian pimps, Edge of the City, focused on the mothers of two girls being pimped by Pakistani gangs in Bradford, West Yorkshire.///

/// But before it could be screened, a number of black and Asian groups, media such as the newspaper Eastern Eye, and websites including Blink (Black Information Link) organised an e-mail petition to pressurise Channel 4 into pulling the programme, arguing that its makers’ sole purpose was to perpetuate racism against Asian communities ///

I think my case has been proven.

"I suppose everyone who disagrees with you are bitter & twisted"
You suppose wrong - only ones who appear to consistently rant on about immigrants and muslims.

I am not one of the "PC brigade" neither do I ignore facts, so don't try and lump me into some convenient pre-judged category because it doesn't rub.
Calling me unintelligent because I used one vaguely unsavoury term is a cop-out as well as an insult, which further backs up what I said about you when you play 'victim'. You KNOW I'm intelligent, I think you feel intimidated by my comments (hence this cop-out).

"disgusting expletives" ? get a life, disgusting expletives begin with (for example) c and f, if you are freaked out by something as mild as bum-wipes, I can't see you surviving a heated political debate IRL

I just don't accept the way the Daily /-\rsewipe presents them. To say something like
"I wonder if you would have been prepared to brush off the facts so easily if one of these girls had been your daughter or sister?" I didn't "brush off" anything - I wasn't dealing with the news article per se, I was dealing with your persistant and beligerant acceptance of this particular publication's way of presenting its "facts" .
LMAO @ "no one manipulates me" - you're totally oblivious aren't you.

Just fyi, I hold no grudges against you personally - I just disagree.

Wow! now doesn't one like to blow one's own trumpet, or was that a vuvuzela?

You ended the original question "/// Emma says: ‘Most of the men running the sex slave gangs in the north of England are Asians of Pakistani origin. But very few of the authorities will admit this.’///

/// Is she right to say so? If she is, why are so few people in officialdom willing to discuss the issue?/// "

As it asks "Is SHE right to say so?" it is based on one person's opinion. The rest of the article went own to quote two other folk who said those accused were all Asian when clearly that is wrong. It's lazy journalism
