Is It No Longer Safe For Our Children To Walk The Streets Alone?

In the first case the two men are described as 'white' and in the second case the five men are described as being 'non-English'

Before anyone jumps in with "it matters not what nationality these men are", I agree, but I just added that because in recent such cases the police have been reluctant to issue such valuable information, when asking the public for their help.

/// Complete tosh ! We have no idea what nationality the men were who attempted to abduct the boy......we only know they probably didn't speak English, and that they were probably not British. ///

And have I ever said what the nationality of the men were, it was the report described them as being 'non-English' which in turn touched your over-sensitive racial nerve.

You will notice that in my thread's opening gambit I had need to state this: "Before anyone jumps in with "it matters not what nationality these men are", I agree," specially added for the likes of you.

/// "English" is not a PC way to describe people born in England as Brits. PC has nothing whatsoever to do with it ///

Once again where did I say that "English" is the a PC way to describe people born in England as Brits"?

In actual fact if you read what you put again it just does not make sense.

/// The issue with these recent, very rare cases of child abduction is exactly that....child abduction, not race, ///

Once again and again, where did I say that "child abduction is race" (in actual once again it does not make sense)

/// and you were the first person to mention race. ///

No correction it was the report that mentioned that in one case it was Two White Men and in the second case it was five men described as being 'non-English'.

It was you who turned this thread about the abduction children on our streets into a racial argument.

Funny how you didn't seem to mention the 'White Men' though?

They are still 'men', though.....

Even 70 years ago when I was a child, mum always warned us not to talk to strangers, or don't go away with anyone. it has always happened. I remember the case of John Straffen when I was 11 in 1951.
