The BBC are not on their own, neither did the Guardian, I wonder why?

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/aug/27/rotherham-children-abuse-labour-calls-crime-commissioner-resign

/// The call came as 15 victims announced plans to sue Rotherham council and South Yorkshire police in a class action. Their solicitor claimed that in each case both police and council "missed clear opportunities" to prevent the sexual exploitation of dozens of girls in Rotherham by gangs of men between 1996 and 2012. ///

Note the words "Gangs of Men"

/// Jay said that children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in northern England, abducted, beaten and intimidated. ///

Also "Multiple Perpetrators".

New Judge is correct.

Had they have been white, we would have had to wait until they were in their dotage or even dead, to find out how many kids they'd raped over the years.

And even then, there would be people on AB who would refer to their crimes as 'mere fumblings'.
"Had they have been white, we would have had to wait until they were in their dotage or even dead, to find out how many kids they'd raped over the years."

I may be misunderstanding but can't help thinking that the sub-text there is 'whitey had his turn and got off so it's ok for (insert minority of choice) to have a go.'

Go on, tell me I'm wrong and you haven't overstepped the mark.

What I was (lamely) trying to establish were the parameters of this thread's narrative.

The point I think AOG was trying to make is that the BBC was trying to downplay the ethnicity of the perpetrators of the horrible/disgusting crimes - where in fact, they were not. And the source of these accusations is a newspaper that regularly salivates over pubescent girls who are (allegedly) 'all grown up' (see my earlier link).

The clumsy analogy I was making, is that when the perpetrator isn't Asian, the crime, heinous as it is, is described by some as 'mere fumblings'.

That was a reference to Jimmy Saville's decades of child rape on AB last year.
Well it's been reported on BBC this morning. And they did indeed say majority Pakistani men.
It's time this obsession with racism, multiculturalism and diversity was done away with. Sick of hearing about it, not interested, don't care about it. As far as I am concerned people should be able to speak up and voice their opinions and if others don't like it then tough.

Not trying to be rude - but have you posted on the wrong thread?

This is about whether the BBC tried to hide the ethnicity of the Rotherham gangs.

It didn't.
^says the man who seemed to suggest, with his left wing mate, it had something to do with the way young girls dressed.
I'm with you Dave. And it is the right thread.
Mind what you say on this subject Dave, a lot will call you Racist, wake up Britain! you are becoming Prisoners in your own Country.

/// The sexualisation of young girls is a seriously unestimated issue in the world today. They have those cringingly awful Beauty Queen contests in America, where really young girls, of perhaps only five years old are made to look like tarts and paraded in front of the Judges. Its easy to shout " only in America" but it would happen here given half the chance. Some parents dress their girls in dreadfully revealing clothes...I seem to remember that ASDA was castigated for selling clothing for 5-6 year olds, with padded busts ! ///

That's right blame the parents rather than the sick perpetrators. This is the most disgusting post you have ever made in your left-wing protection of Pakistani child abusers.

Next you will be excusing some of rape, just because of the way some females chose to dress.

No female however old or however they choose to dress should be subjected to this kind of sexual abuse from anyone male or female, or of any nationality, but in these cases it is mainly Pakistani men who are the perpetrators, and as such this fact should not be swept under the carpet.

I will ignore your completely racist comment which I will post for future reference.

/// Had they have been white, we would have had to wait until they were in their dotage or even dead, to find out how many kids they'd raped over the years. ///

And go on to this;

/// The clumsy analogy I was making, is that when the perpetrator isn't Asian, the crime, heinous as it is, is described by some as 'mere fumblings'. ///

So you think that if they had been white (because that is what you really meant) the horrific mass rapes along with petrol being poured over them etc, that these poor children were forced to endure, would have be described as 'mere fumblings'?

I despair.

This just about sums it up.

/// However not all paedophiles are Pakistani the majority are white, given that the majority of victims were from childrens homes and willingly went with them when gifts were first offered this may offer and insight as to why they
were not believed. ///

What is it with some, why do they continue to shy away from the fact that according to the report most of the perpetrators were in fact Pakistani men, is it so hard to admit that fact instead of forever making excuses as in the above post.

/// However not all paedophiles are Pakistani the majority are white ///

/// the majority of victims were from childrens homes and willingly went with them when gifts were first offered ///

So that is al right then?

AOG....regarding your post at 11:23. Little girls don't buy their own clothes, their parents do. Of course it was wrong of ASDA to sell the offensive garments but it was just as offensive, and even more stupid for parents to buy the clothes.

My worst enemies could never describe me as protecting Pakistani child abusers, and I am highly offended that you have accused me of so doing. Read all my posts on the Rotherham affair and you will see that I consistently said that the paedophile men that carried out the crimes were entirely wrong.

Have you started on the sauce especially early today ?

Unlike some I do not put words into other people mouths, are you denying that I have paraphrased, are not the words that you put?

'PAEDOPHILE MEN' ??????

Interesting to note that just like the BBC you seem to shy away from using the 'P' word.
