Educated or not, Mikey, I'm ashamed of nothing. I'm relating what was reported in the BBC article this evening. The perpetrators were overwhelmingly "Pakistani British" the reporter said.
Turning to the report:
"The inquiry team noted fears among council staff of being labelled "racist" if they focused on victims' description of the majority of abusers as "Asian" men."
"In the broader organisational context, however, there was a widespread perception that messages conveyed by some senior people in the Council and also the Police, were to 'downplay' the ethnic dimensions of CSE. Unsurprisingly, frontline staff appeared to be confused as to what they were supposed to say and do and what would be interpreted as 'racist'. From a political perspective, the approach of avoiding public discussion of the issues was ill judged. "
"Others believed there was wholesale denial of the problem in the Pakistani-heritage community in the same way that other forms of abuse were ignored. Representatives of women's groups were frustrated that interpretations of the Borough's problems with CSE were often based on an assumption that similar abuse did not take place in their own community and therefore concentrated mainly on young white girls."
This is nothing to do with Cyril Smith, garry Glitter or Jimmy Savile and to bring them in confuses the issue. Whether you like it or not, whether you accept it or not, there is no doubt that many Pakistani men treat girls and young women appallingly. This report recognises that . This is because such abuse is generally part of their "culture". It is not generally part of hours. There is more than one culture prevalent in the UK and among them is the culture that women are there to be abused.
Nobody has instructed these men that such a culture is not acceptable in the UK. The mania for "multiculturalism" is to blame for this and people have been encouraged to believe that all cultures are equally valid and acceptable. The remarks in the report support this and I stand by what I said.
