rhetorical question really, I know why. They always play the race card and our plods are terrified of our TROB. Time to stop pussyfooting about and nick these scum.
Please.... your obsession with Tories is getting very tiresome. The thread is about Muslim grooming gangs, Fatticus, please do try and keep to the subject instead of pushing your own warped anti-governent agenda- it adds nothing to the debate and is basically trolling. Pathetic.
//as unpleasant as it sounds i think many in the police force and local authorities simply didn’t care about what was happening//
Anyone who has worked in public services over the last 30 years will tell you that the number one consideration has always been 'community relations' and their hands have been tied by that, we must not be accused of racial bias at all costs. After the Lawrence enquiry in the late 90s we were told by numerous pupils that we were powerless because all they had to do was say it was racial. For instance when I said I would not accept a piece of very overdue coursework if it wasn't on my desk by 9am the next day I was hauled in and accused of racial bias and it was only because the rest of the largely Asian class said it was rubbish that it was dropped but it stayed on my record.
In what way are we terrible about dealing with these gangs?
I thought there had been several successful prosecutions over the past few years.
In fact I can’t think of one where any member of an accused gang has got off.
Do you really think that police forces throughout the UK are allowing these gangs to operate to prevent accusations of racism?
Or are you implying that the police, schools and social workers failed the victims because they were ‘troubled young women’ who were already in social care and weren’t ‘the right kind’ of victim.
This isn’t to say that these girls’ accusations shouldn’t have been treated seriously.
This was the conclusion of the Dispatches documentary a couple of years ago…was that what you meant?
Or are you implying that the police, schools and social workers failed the victims because they were ‘troubled young women’ who were already in social care and weren’t ‘the right kind’ of victim.

You think all 1400 were in social care?
Sp:"I have no idea. But the large number suggests some kind of systematic failure that allowed the gangs to proliferate. " - it's not a failure, it's policy. Zebo is bang on would be BA if I hadn't already dished it out. The Whole public sector is terrified of being labelled racists. These protagonists and others know the power of the weapon they have been given and use it to get their own way all the time.
SP, I clicked on your link but I can't see what you found that was a 'real eye opener' with regard to Muslim grooming gangs. Could you please elaborate?
SP:"Bit confused as to why you asked the question in the first place though. " - what part of "rhetorical question" confused you?
Rhetorical question: "A question asked in order to create a dramatic effect, induce discussion or to make a point rather than to get an answer."
