How the BBC Mindset Enables Paedophile Gangs

[Teddy Bear]

Most people reading this will be familiar with news this week concerning the convictions of a gang of Muslims in Oxford for sexually abusing girls as young as 11 for years, and using them as sex slaves.

Besides the obvious, there are several issues, and reflections of our society, that have been highlighted by this story.
When you read the stories of these girls, you see most of them come from broken homes and were under the responsibility of social services. What is clearly apparent is the complete failure of social services to monitor, supervise, and protect these girls.

You will also see that the police were notified numerous times for a period of years about some of the cases of abuse and also failed to act.

So what is the underlying cause for these failures, and what does it have to do with the BBC?

Well for years we have been detailing stories showing the BBC excusing negative actions by Muslims, particularly the more militant. This appeasement, under the guise of multiculturalism or ethnic tolerance, is however only applied to Muslims, as we have also shown a complete hypocritical approach to other cultures or ethnic origins that the BBC feels no danger from. Then there is no problem revealing the sub culture context.

The Islamic term for this behaviour exhibited by the BBC is dhimmitude, the main purpose in their terror attacks and militancy.

Since BBC output has so much effect on our society, certainly those of a similar left wing mindset, but also those right of centre who want to avoid arguments or discord to air any variant views. It is referred to as Political Correctness, which basically means one cannot state the obvious if the Ministry of Thought deems it negative to their particular cause or agenda.

So for the BBC it is not the children that are the victims, and should be protected, but the Muslims. When you read any article on the BBC website related to these abuses, while it is obvious from the names and pictures of the perpetrators just what the common link is, it is not directly referred to in the article.
So any wonder that government agencies who are supposed to protect the vulnerable in our society avert their gaze when Muslims are involved?

How can the problem be solved when those that need to do so are not prepared to identify and confront 'the elephant in the room'?

Now you will hear the perfect examples to illustrate these points.

The Oxford case was in the news at the beginning of last week. I was wondering if last week's Question Time was going to have some question put to the panel concerning the failures by police and social services over this abuse, but the producers decided to omit highlighting this national disgrace. Perhaps because the Shadow Immigration Minister was on the panel, and the BBC preferred not to have anybody focus on how Labour's immigration policies contributed to these criminal acts.

They did however run it on Any Questions on Radio 4 on Friday, and repeated on Saturday afternoon. Here is the relevant part of the programme where they discussed the issue and you will hear that each of them are guilty of doing the very thing that allowed this, and other similar abuses in Rochdale, Derby, Telford, etc, that have come to light in the last few years, to go on for so long.

They even lumped these together with the Savile and Hall scandals, and everybody was talking about what needs to be done, and the need to be less PC and more straightforward, blah blah blah, yet still nobody could mention the M word.

If Savile and Hall share a common link with these vile grooming gangs, it is the BBC that enabled all of them to continue - and still does.

It would be comical, if it wasn't so tragic, how they can avoid seeing THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!

Now contrast this with another BBC programme on Radio 2, where Jeremy Vine, to his great credit, has two guests on his show - the Imam of the Oxford Mosque and the head of the NSPCC. I have the relevant part of the programme here and you can listen to it yourself.

The Imam, Dr Taj Hargay, is terrific and tells it just like it is. It is so refreshing to hear somebody finally speak out about some of the issues that have been troubling our society in such a frank and open way. He even refers to the 'pussyfooting around' and failure to call 'a spade a spade' by those who should have dealt with this abuse a lot sooner than they did

The other guy - John Brown, head of the NSPCC sexual abuse programme, is a typical left wing moron who will never break out of his mindset to deal with this problem. When you hear the excuses he comes out with, even arguing with the Imam - the EXPERT in front of him, rather than have to acknowledge the particular Muslim mindset that allows this scum to continue their foul deeds for so long. Consider the position he is in and the responsibility he is charged with in his ridiculous avoidance to see the elephant in the room.

This is the ridiculous society the BBC has already created with no light at the end of any tunnel before the shit hits the inevitable fan. These are the people who demonstrate clearly they are completely NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

Sometimes it's posts like this that can cause any old American to be drawn into reading and relating. Your esteemed institution just like so much here do their darnedest. But I admit in all my pessimism as time clicks on I wonder, just a little, if their mindset doesn't quite recognize a potential cliff beyond return where the desensitized masses begin to see that elephant even if it means a black and white snorkel in their face?

[Teddy Bear]

if their mindset doesn't quite recognize a potential cliff beyond return where the desensitized masses begin to see that elephant even if it means a black and white snorkel in their face?

I'm counting on it!

In trying to understand their particular mindset, it's clear they are unable or unwilling to reflect on the consequences of their thinking and correct accordingly. It appears as if their own ego makes that unlikely or impossible. So there's no doubt about where we're heading, and eventually those forced to pay the price for their stupidity, especially when its presented as wisdom by arrogant beings, will show their anger very directly.

We have seen lefties become increasingly dismissive of complaints and criticisms levelled at them, which I believe will only grow further as their already inflated egos expand, making retribution all the more punishing when it happens.

When I think of what these children had to endure because this mindset wants to jerk itself off, my feeling is it cannot be soon enough or painful enough.

They are a cancer!

[steevo]

Well I wouldn't put it that way even if we're in fundamental agreement on their intent I know I'm not being presumptive to say most here wouldn't with all due respect. We pretty much only see a deliberateness, willing and calculative with full knowledge of the destructive consequences. We don't emphasis and barely even consider if only they knew what they are reaping.

They've already succeeded possibly beyond their wildest expectations even a generation ago (I remember in the mid-90s when "Islamic fanaticism" was common reference with respect to woman's rights, freedom of expression etc.). They have a lot going when you see the profound delusion of traditional moral basis, conviction and ability to make judgment we now face throughout the West. To play devil's advocate, that's a bigger elephant and in many many more rooms. And I really don't see it getting better even though I haven't lost all hope (that's tough). When I read a post like yours here or the revelations coming out in our mainstream media about Obama (even though much of it has been known by those of us conservative/libertarian) I like to think people will see the obvious. But I am highly skeptical our nature is enlightened enough at this point in time.

Will there be a day I'm wrong and you're right?

[Teddy Bear]

I'm sure like me, you see the hopelessness in the policies implemented, and the way they try to get them to succeed, that ultimate failure for a whole host of issues and complications surrounding them, is a natural consequence.

Leading up to this is when the general public will see through the bullshit they've been fed. Many do already, but it still needs many more.

Time will tell.

[steevo]

I really don't know, although I can appreciate your deductions. We're talking about the power of control and with technology making increasing advancement side by side with moral delusion/depravity, fear of security, well-being, and ultimate dependency on the state, it could be argued the ability to manipulate with a bleak outlook to reverse the forces at play is greater than ever. Hopelessness may indeed be for the many but the few may well take supreme advantage. You think eyes will be opened in time to figure it out with those who take greatest responsibility, with the where-with-all to turn it around. I have doubts, but if there's anything I could hope to be wrong about...

[Teddy Bear]

History has shown that good ultimately triumphs over evil.
We see the selfish and tyrannical carry the seeds of their own destruction.
I doubt either of us would have ever imagined would be in this ridiculous situation - the corruption, the ignorance, the mentality, the complete incompetence that increases daily.
Even those voices that we still hear that carry wisdom and foresight are vilified by the lowlifes, and the majority have lost or never gained the power to think and reason for themselves.
I think the negative events still to come will actually force people to start exercising their own minds. What it will take and the depth we will get to before that happens only time will tell.

[Teddy Bear]

As soon as I saw this headline I had a feeling it might be the same great Imam from the Oxford mosque, Dr. Taj Hargay, as appeared on the Jeremy Vine show. Sure enough it was, and good to see what he had to say about the sex gangs wasn't a 'one-off'.
Truly a credit to our society.

PROMINENT UK IMAM JOINS CAMPAIGN TO BAN BURKA

by NICK HALLETT

A British imam has said that the increasing prevalence of the burka among young Muslim women is "one of the most sinister developments of our time" and called for the garment to be banned. Dr Taj Hargey of the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford made the call in an article for the Daily Mail, in which he said that there is nothing in Islamic teaching advocating the wearing of the burka and that the "moderate majority" of Muslims should join him in calling for the ban.

Dr Hargey wrote that, after the failure of previous efforts, he has now started a campaign within the Muslim community to have the garment banned:

"There have, of course, been previous petitions and calls to outlaw face masks in public, but all came from the political Right and gained little traction.

"This campaign is different. It is the first one led by Muslims, speaking for the moderate majority whose voice has been unheeded up to now. We invite both Muslims and our other fellow citizens to work together to rid Britain of this alien cultural monstrosity."

He said that Muslims needed to tell the political class to not be afraid of the reaction from fundamentalists:

"Despite growing concern from the British public, our pusillanimous politicians have refused to address the burgeoning prevalence of the burka in our midst, as they fear accusations of Islamophobia from the militant fundamentalists and their PC allies.

“Well, it is time to put the needs of British society before the manufactured grievances of the hardliners, whose aim is to replace our liberal democracy with a totalitarian theocracy, the burka serving as a weapon in this far-reaching cultural war.

"In rejecting the ideology of the zealots, mainstream Muslims should be at the forefront of the campaign for a ban, not least because the burka so badly undermines the credibility and reputation of our faith."

He explained that the recent decision by the European Court of Human Rights to rule that France’s burka ban did not violate fundamental human rights had inspired the campaign:

"A key part of the impetus for this move came from the decision of the European Court of Human Rights this month to uphold the ban instituted by the French Government in 2010 on all face coverings in public. Supported by lawyers from Birmingham, a 24-year-old French woman of Pakistani origin took her well-funded case to the ECHR, claiming that the ban was a violation of her — and note the sequence — religious, cultural and personal rights.

"On every level, this questionable appeal relied on distortions and untruths. Thankfully her case was thrown out, but her arguments illustrate the chronic weakness of any suggestion that we must allow the burka to be worn in public.

"First, there is no religious requirement on Muslims to don the burka; second, the burka is not a feature of Pakistani culture, where 90 per cent of women do not wear it; third, there is no unqualified human right to wear whatever we want in public. In every developed society, personal freedoms have to take account of wider social mores."

He concludes by saying that pressure on modern Muslim women to wear face veils comes only from hardliners who have misinterpreted Islam, and who are incompatible with British culture.

"All of us, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, have a duty to challenge the religious hardliners who have cynically exploited British traditions of tolerance and individual liberty to pursue their own twisted sectarian agenda imported wholesale from the Arab Middle East.

"A start could be made by forcing our politicians to debate the issue by gathering sufficient signatures for our historic anti-burka petition.
"We cannot continue to accept the creeping Arabisation of Islam in the UK and consequent destruction of our cherished British freedoms. A stand must be made now."

[steevo]

So the Koran doesn't advocate the burka? At times (once in a great while) I've wondered if their contemporary fundamentalists demand more repression than the days of kiddie-lover Mo. If it wasn't for your pre-qualifier with the good iman I'd have my doubts he was sincere. I hope he has significant influence. Advocation of individual liberty will help all of us.

[Teddy Bear]

Given the Islamic nutters that infest our society he's a very brave man.
I understand your doubts regarding sincerity of any Muslim, especially given the strategy of taqiyya (deception) which is part of their bid to run the world. But seeing this guy really 'tell it like it is', is heartening.

[Teddy Bear]

Dr. Taj Hargey, the brilliant Oxford Imam, has launched an online petition which requires 100,000 signatures to force government to debate the ban of the burka.
I urge all reading this to sign - and spread the word. Only 127 signatures so far.

[Teddy Bear]

A particular group of men have been predominant in recent years throughout the country of child sexual abuse - they are Pakistani Muslims.
When those in our society responsible for protecting these children continue to avoid confronting the mindset of these groups, and determining what needs to be done to address the problem, it only enables these groups and guarantees that this abuse will get worse.

But since we have a national broadcaster that is unable to label these men as Pakistani Muslims, because they claim it might make the public racist or Islamophobic, the left wing mindset that is akin to the BBC, who are mostly working in those 'protective' agencies and supposed to help these children, also avoid calling 'a spade a spade', and instead of confronting the problem, look the other way.

People are rightfully getting sick and tired of this disingenuous bullshit, and are also sick and tired of the arrogance displayed by the BBC who think that they need to guard us against thought-crimes. That only they have the intelligence to understand the issues, but determine we are too inferior to also do so, far less know how to deal with it.

Again, following another gang of child abusers coming to public gaze in Rotherham, the BBC have not only avoided calling them Muslims, but mostly avoided the Pakistani common bond. At best we get 'Asians', or 'men from Rotherham' in the main articles on this story. Any time they have noted the Pakistani theme, it is on a linked story, not the main one.

Following criticism of this the BBC responded:

A BBC spokesman said: 'Any suggestion we’ve sanitised our reporting is nonsense.

'Our coverage on BBC News, including online, has made it clear that the abusers were predominately Asian and that council staff feared being labelled racist.

'Stories on the website are constantly evolving but all have clear links to articles which explain the full context.

What's 'nonsense' is the claim by the BBC that their coverage is meant to convey the real story and not their usual PC bullshit.
Think of the children they hurt with the influence of their agenda.

Don't use the A-word: BBC accused of censorship over Rotherham child abuse by failing to mention that gangs were Asian

• Report found 1,400 children abused between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham
• Majority of the perpetrators were Pakistani men, the report revealed
• But a fear of acknowledging their ethnicity 'compounded the scandal'
• Four of seven article on BBC News online do not mention Pakistani men
• Ukip MEP blasts omission as 'spineless', readers outraged on Twitter

By Mia De Graaf for MailOnline

The BBC has enraged licence fee-payers by allegedly downplaying the role of Pakistani gangs in Rotherham's sex abuse scandal.

Yesterday's landmark report singled out Pakistani men as the main perpetrators in the sexual exploitation of at least 1,400 children over 16 years - and warned council staff's fear of acknowledging their race compounded the scandal.

But this morning, four of BBC News Online's seven articles on the report made no reference to Pakistani men.


Blasting the BBC's omission as 'spineless and gutless', Jane Collins, Ukip's Yorkshire and Humber MEP, told MailOnline: 'Are they worried about being racist?

'There is no way around it: the people involved in this scandal were from the Pakistani and Kashmiri communities.

'We have to be brave. It's not about racism, it's about welfare.

'Unfortunately the people involved in this worried about being called racist. We have to face up to that fact and tackle this head-on in the community.'

Professor Alexis Jay, author of the council-commissioned report, highlighted political correctness as a key factor in the long-running scandal.

She warned police and council officials suppressed evidence of the crimes because they feared being labelled racist.

Concerns about damage to community cohesion were put above the need to protect the vulnerable, the report said.






Readers took to social media in anger accusing the Corporation of sanitising its online coverage.

Reference was made to Pakistani men in the BBC's evening news broadcasts and this morning's radio.

However, the lead articles online this morning simply referred to the perpetrators as 'criminal gangs'.

One commenter tweeted: 'BBC unable to even say "Pakistani" & point fingers. If your name is Cliff Richard however, they'll send a TV helicopter. #rotherham'.

Another said: 'The reference to perpetrators being virtually all Pakistani has been removed from the BBC piece #Rotherham'.

And one wrote: 'Main BBC News website story on #Rotherham does not mention Asian/Pakistani once, they are "criminal gangs"'.

The report stated: 'The issue of race, regardless of ethic group, should be tackled as an absolute priority if it is known to be a significant factor in the criminal activity of organised abuse in any local community.'

Council staff were given ‘clear directions’ from managers to downplay the ‘ethnic dimension’ of the abuse despite almost all the perpetrators being of Pakistani heritage.

Three separate reports warning of the scale of the abuse were ‘suppressed or ignored’ by the council because it was ‘in denial’ about the crimes.

Despite the appalling failures in the case, no one in authority has been sacked or even disciplined. MPs and charities said the scale of the abuse was almost ‘incomprehensible’ and called for a criminal investigation into those who helped cover it up.

And at least six victims have now launched a class action against Rotherham council and could be in line for millions of pounds in compensation.

A BBC spokesman said: 'Any suggestion we’ve sanitised our reporting is nonsense.

'Our coverage on BBC News, including online, has made it clear that the abusers were predominately Asian and that council staff feared being labelled racist.

'Stories on the website are constantly evolving but all have clear links to articles which explain the full context.

'We spoke to members of the Pakistani community in Rotherham on Today, BBC Radio 5 live, the BBC News Channel and more reaction is expected online later.

'As the story has evolved we have covered other key developments such as the resignation of the council leader and calls for the resignation of South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and we’ll continue to explore all the different angles.'

[Teddy Bear]

In this story you can see just how the left-wing mindset, guided by the BBC, manage to excuse themselves for helping those who abused these children for a long long time. Just imagine being one of those children who must face the rest of their lives knowing how their society just allowed them to be desecrated in this way.

Here's the faces of a couple of these enablers, Shaun Wright and Roger Stone, - look 'respectable' enough, real stern and tough, don't they?
Shaun Wrong? Roger Sponge?

Rotherham sex abuse scandal: nobody at the council needs to resign, claims deputy leader
The deputy leader of Rotherham council refuses to call for the resignation of South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright, despite being severely criticised for turning a blind eye to widespread child abuse

By Alice Philipson and Matthew Holehouse

Civic leaders in Rotherham today closed ranks around South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright, despite being severely criticised for turning a blind eye to widespread child abuse.

Paul Lakin, the deputy leader of the council who oversees children’s social services, insisted he knew nothing of the sexual assault abuse that occurred over a period of more than 16 years, and said nobody at the council needed to resign. All those responsible for the scandal have left, he insisted.

Mr Lakin has served as a Labour councillor since 1999 and sits on the Rotherham Safeguarding Children’s Board. He is also the chairman of the Yorkshire and Humber regional network for council officials responsible for children’s services.

An inquiry yesterday found that 1,400 children had been abused between 1997 and 2013 after a "blatant" failure of leadership at the council. Three reports between 2002 and 2006 highlighted the extent of child exploitation but nothing was done - with the findings either suppressed or simply ignored.

Despite widespread calls for the resignation of Mr Wright, who was in charge of children's services in Rotherham for five years during the period covered by the report, Mr Lakin refused to say he should step down. However, he conceded Mr Wright had done “a little too little, a little too late” to protect children.

“I’ve been on the council since 1999, and I’m one of the councillors that’s seen this through," he said. "If people don’t know they’re not really in a position to do anything about it. I can categorically say that until I came into children’s services in 2010 I was not aware of the depth and breadth of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.”

“Those people that were involved at the time need to answer for that. None of those people work for Rotherham.”
Instead, the council needs to review “governance structures”, Mr Lakin said.

Asked whether Mr Wright should resign, he said: “That is a decision for him, and him alone … I’m not going to take that view.”
Following the publication of the report which detailed gang rapes, grooming, trafficking and other sexual exploitation, the leader of Rotherham council, Roger Stone, resigned. However, no other council employees will face disciplinary proceedings after it was claimed that there was not enough evidence to take action.

Last night former children's minister Tim Loughton told the BBC's Newsnight that any social worker involved in the failings in Rotherham "has absolutely no place" in the care of children.
The Conservative MP said it was a "common theme" in sex abuse scandals that "nobody pays the consequences".

"A social worker responsible for protecting vulnerable children, to turn a blind eye to a 12-year-old having sexual relationships with a stranger twice, three times her age and to say that was consensual sex and to do nothing about it – that person has absolutely no place in anything to do with vulnerable children," he said.

The leader of the Lib Dem group on Sheffield City Council, Colin Ross, said "those responsible must be held to account".

"Just like everyone else in South Yorkshire I was horrified to see the findings of the report and I'm deeply saddened that so many children were let down by the authorities that should have been protecting them," he said.
"Lessons must be learnt and those responsible must be held to account.

"Shaun Wright was the councillor in charge of children's services at Rotherham Council and also sat on the Authority of South Yorkshire Police when both organisations knew about the level of child sexual exploitation, but chose not do anything about it. It's difficult to see how local people can have confidence in him to continue as our Police and Crime Commissioner."

Ukip Yorkshire and Humber MEP Jane Collins also called for Mr Wright to step down from the PCC post, to which he was elected in 2012.
She said: "How the chief executive of Rotherham Council, Martin Kimber, can sit there and glibly tell the world that not one person has been sacked, nor disciplined regarding this matter is beyond me. We are talking about children as young as 11 being trafficked, gang raped, beaten, plied with alcohol and drugs, and even threatened with being burned alive. My outrage at these events is simply beyond words."

She said: "I categorically call for the resignation of everyone directly and indirectly involved in this case. The Labour Council stand accused of deliberately ignoring child sex abuse victims for 16 years. The apologies we have heard are totally insincere and go nowhere near repairing the damage done.

"These resignations should include South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright who until his election into the PPC post, held responsible positions with Rotherham Council. I also call for a criminal investigation by a force not directly linked with this scandal in to all those implicated in this scandal. There is no place for these people in public life."
A spokesman for Mr Wright said: "The Commissioner is pleased that the inquiry conducted by Alexis Jay finally shines a light on the errors made in relation to safeguarding children in Rotherham and that constructive action can be taken to protect young people as a result of the report and recommendations.

"The Commissioner has previously apologised for the failure of Rotherham Council while he was in its cabinet from 2005 to 2010. He repeats that apology today and he fully accepts that there was more that everyone at Rotherham Council should have done to tackle this terrible crime."

Excellent article on the topic by James Delingpole, who even manages to inject some humour into his caustic criticisms.

ROTHERHAM: 1400 CHILDREN GROOMED, DRUGGED AND RAPED BY MULTICULTURALISM

by JAMES DELINGPOLE

About 1,400 children were sexually exploited in a northern England town, a report concluded in a damning account of failures by authorities to prevent victims as young as 11 from being beaten, raped and trafficked...

Q: When is the sexual abuse of children culturally, socially and politically acceptable?
A: When it's committed with industrial efficiency by organised gangs of mainly Pakistani men in English Northern towns like Burnley, Oldham and Rotherham, of course.

But obviously you're not allowed to admit this or you might sound racist. That's why, for example, in today's BBC report into the fact that at least 1400 children were subjected to "appalling" sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, you have to wade 20 paragraphs in before finally you discover the ethnic identity of the perpetrators.

And even then, the embarrassing fact slips out only with the most blushing mealy-mouthedness:

By far the majority of perpetrators of abuse were described as "Asian" by victims.

Well hang on, a second. What this phrase seems to be hinting at is the possibility that the men involved weren't "Asian" (note to US readers: Asian is UK PC-speak for Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, not orientals) but that the victims mistakenly took them to be so. Is that actually the case or not?

Let's have a look at the names of the Rotherham men found guilty by Sheffield Crown Court in 2010 of raping or sexually abusing girls as young as 12 shall we. Maybe that'll help.

• Zafran Ramzan
• Razwan Razaq
• Umar Razaq
• Adil Hussain
• Mohsin Khan

Nope. Absolutely no clues there, then...

Still, let's suppose for a moment that the names of the gang members had been, say, John Smith, Barry Thorpe, Arthur Ramsbotham and Quentin Fforbes-Smythe. Are we seriously to believe that they would have been permitted to spend over a decade grooming, trafficking, drugging and raping young girls without arousing the concern of Rotherham Council's extensive social services department or the attentions of the local police?

I doubt it, somehow. It's not as if we're talking here about sporadic instances of carefully concealed abuse which anyone could be forgiven for not having noticed. We're talking about flagrant sexual abuse on an epic scale. Here is what today's independent Inquiry has to say:

In just over a third of cases, children affected by sexual exploitation were previously known to services because of child protection and neglect. It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered. They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.

This abuse is not confined to the past but continues to this day. In May 2014, the caseload of the specialist child sexual exploitation team was 51. More CSE cases were held by other children's social care teams. There were 16 looked after children who were identified by children’s social care as being at serious risk of sexual exploitation or having been sexually exploited. In 2013, the Police received 157 reports concerning child sexual exploitation in the Borough.

Over the first twelve years covered by this Inquiry, the collective failures of political and officer leadership were blatant. From the beginning, there was growing evidence that child sexual exploitation was a serious problem in Rotherham. This came from those working in residential care and from youth workers who knew the young people well.

Within social care, the scale and seriousness of the problem was underplayed by senior managers. At an operational level, the Police gave no priority to CSE, regarding many child victims with contempt and failing to act on their abuse as a crime. Further stark evidence came in 2002, 2003 and 2006 with three reports known to the Police and the Council, which could not have been clearer in their description of the situation in Rotherham. The first of these reports was effectively suppressed because some senior officers disbelieved the data it contained. This had led to suggestions of cover- up. The other two reports set out the links between child sexual exploitation and drugs, guns and criminality in the Borough. These reports were ignored and no action was taken to deal with the issues that were identified in them.

The local authorities, in other words, knew exactly what was going on. Yet still they did nothing. Why?

Well we've already answered that, pretty much. It's because the kind of politically correct, left-leaning and basically rather thick people that local authorities like Rotherham Council tend to have working for them are so paralysed by modish concerns about cultural sensitivity that they have made an obscene judgement call: better to allow at least 1400 kids to be hideously abused than to be thought guilty of the far greater crimes of being thought a bit racist or accidentally offending someone.

(And this isn't an incident confined to Rotherham by the way. The same thing happened recently in Oxford, again involving men with decidedly un-Anglo-Saxon names, again over a long period of time because all the relevant authorities were scared of sounding the alarm in case they came across as racist)

Yep, these people really are that thick and warped. They've had it drilled into them - probably on courses like this one, organised by Common Purpose - that they must celebrate "diversity" at every opportunity. And if that means letting a few Pakistani men rape kids, douse them with petrol and threaten them with guns, well who are we to judge? Quite possibly it's one of those vital cultural differences that we'll be trained better to understand when we attend our next Common Purpose course with some title like Embracing The Other: Leadership Strategies For Multicultural Community Development. Till then, let's not be quick to cast the first stone, eh? After all, there may be aspects of our culture that they find equally alien and troubling. The rule of law say; respect for women; children's rights; trendy Western liberal crap like that...

It's because the kind of politically correct, left-leaning and basically rather thick people that local authorities like Rotherham Council tend to have working for them are so paralysed by modish concerns about cultural sensitivity that they have made an obscene judgement call: better to allow at least 1400 kids to be hideously abused than to be thought guilty of the far greater crimes of being thought a bit racist or accidentally offending someone.

Thought I'd add this from the Telegraph...


The woman who presided over the last five years of failure as the boss of children’s services at Rotherham Council is the same executive who removed three children from their foster parents because they were Ukip voters.


Mrs Thacker refused to back down, saying the children’s “cultural and ethnic needs” did not fit in with the parents’ “strong views”. She said their support for Ukip meant they opposed “multiculturalism”

Interesting that the BBC News At Ten last night referred to the miscreants as "Pakistani". Somebody seems to have decided that it's better to be accurate, and politically incorrect, than to be accused of helping paedophiles!

Absolutely sickening - she should be jailed or put into a mental asylum...oh yes, they closed the mental asylum and the inmates are running the country.

I see uncharacteristically the main article today on the subject by the BBC states in the first few paragraphs that At least 1,400 children were sexually exploited, mainly by men of Pakistani heritage, between 1997 and 2013.

Clearly the other media who have been reporting on the previous unwillingness by the BBC to 'call a spade a spade' on this issue have had its effect.

Frankly it's too little too late, and I couldn't care less if they now claim that 'lessons have been learned', the damage they have already contributed to is immense. They have the same sickening mindset as Steevo showed about this Thacker woman.

Actually, I've just read a comment at The Telegraph which might explain just how the BBC got their information about the police raid on Cliff Richard's house.

SIR – For more than a decade, South Yorkshire Police apparently disregarded allegations of gang rape and child sex abuse. This is the same police force that, accompanied by a BBC television entourage, raided the home of Sir Cliff Richard to investigate a single historic complaint of alleged sexual assault.
I look forward to further television coverage of dawn raids in South Yorkshire.

I wonder if the BBC assured the South Yorkshire police that in return for their cooperation on notice for this raid they would do their best to minimise their complicity in allowing these child abusers to continue.

I wouldn't put it past either of them.

Right on. That is the astute and unfortunately elusive observation needed. 

[charmbrights]

The BBC web site says:

Andrew Collins, an advocate for historical abuse survivors, said Ms Sharp should resign "immediately" from her current job because her position was now "inappropriate".

This also is the WRONG attitude. Those who held positions of trust and power should be charged with criminal offences ranging from neglect of duty in public office up to and including being accessories to child rape.

However, I expect only "Assistant Deputy heads will roll" and the senior people will sail on through life serenely. The reason for this is that (as in the case of Ms Sharp) the people who appointed them cannot now sack them as their own judgement would come into question.

Rotherham is just one town. The scale of this nationally must be horrendous.
Even in Scotland which has been relatively unscathed by mass immigration the followers of the Moon God cult are making their mark.
This coming within a week of SNP immigration minister, the unelected Humza Yousaf - supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and not afraid to hide his anti Semitism on his official SNP web page - has called for unfettered mass immigration from Pakistan and the Muslim world.

They wouldn't be able to do this without organisations like the BBC making it possible. They are the real traitors.

[Teddy Bear]

While the following article by James Delingpole has nothing directly to do with the BBC, it does show just how prevalent the kind of gang we see in Rotherham are in this country, and how those who are charged with preventing these abusers are also culpable.

When you've read this article ask yourself just why isn't the BBC bringing these facts to the public eye? Do they really think that flying a helicopter over Cliff Richard's house while it is being raided somehow shows the BBC as a force for good against child abuse?

We know that just ain't so.

ISLAMIC RAPE GANGS: ROTHERHAM IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

by JAMES DELINGPOLE

If you haven't yet listened to the latest Radio Free Delingpole podcast I urge you to do so: but first you'll need a strong stomach.

In it, I talk to George Igler of the Discourse Institute who has been following the Rotherham child rape gang story closely for the last three years. The full story is more shocking than you can possibly imagine, not just because of the ugliness of the abuse itself (redolent of that horrible scene from the movie Taken where smack-addled girls are serially abused in a filthy dive by countless grubby men) but also because of the extent of the cover-up by the left-liberal establishment of social workers, local government officers, child welfare charities, diversity co-ordinators, not to mention the regional police forces and even imams.

Truly this is one of the biggest scandals of our time. And it's going to get bigger.
Here are some of the disturbing revelations in the podcast.

• The rape gang phenomenon has existed in the UK for at least 25 years, the first recorded instance being of a trial in Birmingham in 1989. But - typical, this, of what was to come - the defendants were not Muslim rapists. They were the Sikh fathers of abused daughters who had tried to attack the perpetrators of the crime only to end up being arrested themselves while the police turned a blind eye to the sex crime.
• It exists not just in impoverished, racially-divided, working class Northern towns by also in places as white and genteel as Henley-on-Thames
• It begins like this: a "Romeo" targets the girls, wins their affections, pretends to be in love with them, makes them feel grown-up with presents, treats, drink, drugs. Then the trapdoor shuts. Next thing they know these girls are being plied with booze and heroin, shut in a room with strangers - often related: cousins; brothers; etc - who serially rape them, with the whole business being filmed. The video footage is used to blackmail the girls, who in any case, generally feel too ashamed to report the crime to the authorities. Most of them become addicted to the heroin whose purpose is first to make them resist less and secondly to make them keep coming back for more, despite their better judgement.
• These practices have long been widely known to the police, to social workers, to child-care charities and local councils. All found an excuse to absolve the rape gangs of criminal behaviour by claiming that these sexual activities were consensual - ie that these girls, some as young as 11, were sluts who had it coming to them.
• Each child is worth about £200,000 (around $300,000) a year to the gangs - which makes them even more lucrative than the drugs trade.
• Money is also one of the reasons for the complicity of so many local councils. At a time of general spending cutbacks, money can always be found for jobs in the all-important "Diversity" industry. On salaries as high as £100,000 a year, senior council workers have a vested interest in not rocking the boat. Better to cover up these scandals and preserve the illusion of community cohesion then to have unwelcome public attention drawn to these unsavoury goings-on.
• Does the broader local Muslim community know what's going on? Of course. Remember, the 200 prosecutions so far have been brought mainly against the gang organizers - not against the many thousands of men who have participated in these rape parties.
• Also, the Muslim community has deliberately exploited white liberal squeamishness by threatening race riots and by warning off police that if they try to take the matter further they will report them for "racism."
• Why haven't more people in authority lost their jobs? Because time and again they deploy a formulaic excuse which they may well have learned at diversity workshops organised by groups like Common Purpose: yes there has been a scandal; it may be worse than we think; but only we have the training and experience to deal with it, which is why it is vital that we keep our jobs.
• Why wasn't this reported earlier? It was. But often the people protesting were members of the BNP or the EDL whose "far-right" taint meant that their complaints could safely be dismissed by the left-liberal Establishment as racially motivated and dishonest. The same "racism" accusation was levelled against anyone brave enough to speak out such as Labour MP Ann Cryer. Most people therefore found it more convenient to look the other way.
• Rotherham - with 1400 girls abused - is just the tip of the iceberg. This has been going on, largely unchecked, all over Britain for a period of 25 years. And, if people take apologists like this woman seriously, it may well go on largely unchecked for some time to come....

ISLAMIC RAPE GANGS: ROTHERHAM IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

by JAMES DELINGPOLE

Two points:

First: Delingpole cites Diane Abbott as an "apologist" for the abuse which, if you actually read her article she is not excusing the actions, just trying to make the same point as I am, that action should be taken against those responsible, instead of accepting their weak protests that "only we can fix it" and "lessons have been learned".

Second: Delingpole, by implication, includes the BBC and ITV, both of whom think that the sun shines out of every available exit of Diane Abbot, and that her words are unadulterated truth and light.

Incidentally, I think this is the first time in recent years that I have actually agreed with her!

[Teddy Bear]

What I read in her writing is she claiming that it was more a class issue by the elite dismissing claims by those 'below' them, than it was a matter of PC (political correctness).

I don't agree at all.
I don't know whether she is simply unaware of just how 'protected' Muslims are in this country under the PC banner, seeing as she is one of them, or purposefully trying to ignore it, but as we record on this site in nearly every instance where Islam and Muslims are involved in something negative, the BBC, who personify PC paranoia, go to great lengths to eliminate this link.

Islam uses it as part of their agenda, it's called DHIMMI (kowtowing). If I had to make a bet, having seen Abbot's taqqiya (deception - also part of the Islamic agenda) on most other issues, I would say this is just one more and she's well aware of this dhimmi dynamic.
