Establishment in Denial Over Ethnicity of Grooming Gangs, Report Finds

The Establishment has been in “denial” over the ethnicity of grooming gangs and repeatedly relied on flawed data to dismiss claims about Asian grooming gangs as “sensationalised, biased or untrue”, a report has found. The Telegraph has more.

Baroness Casey of Blackstock found that flawed data were used by public bodies to dismiss claims about Asian grooming gangs as “sensationalised, biased or untrue”.

She also found that in too many cases, police forces and other organisations avoided pursuing perpetrators for fear of being viewed as racist.

Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, told MPs that the Government would accept all the recommendations, including setting up a national inquiry into grooming gangs.

She said that rape laws should be tightened up and many girls convicted of child prostitution would be cleared.

Ms Cooper added: “This will mark the biggest programme of work ever pursued to root out the grooming gangs.

“Those vile perpetrators who have grown used to the authorities looking the other way must have no place to hide.”

She said 800 cold cases would be looked into and could rise to 1,000 cases, adding: “Perpetrators of these vile crimes should be behind bars and paying the price of what they have done.”

The Home Secretary said the report found a “deep-rooted failure to treat children as children”, adding: “A continued failure to protect teenage girls from rape, from exploitation and serious violence, and from the scars that last a lifetime.

“[Lady Casey] finds… too much reliance on flawed data, too much denial, too little justice, too many criminals getting off, too many victims being let down.”

Ms Cooper said the report found that children as young as 10 were singled out for grooming.

“Perpetrators [were] walking free because no one joined up the dots or because the law protected them instead of the victims that they had exploited,” she added. 

“Blindness, ignorance, prejudice, defensiveness and even good but misdirected intentions all played a part in this collective failure.”

The Labour MP for Rochdale, Paul Waugh, told the Commons that victims want accountability for those in positions of authority who failed to act.

In Rochdale, we know all too well how many years it has taken for victims to get the justice they deserve. 

They have waited many, many years to see these sick criminals locked up and put behind bars, but also, I mean only last week we had seven more of these perverts locked up in Rochdale and that is a testimony to the police and the prosecution who finally got these cases together.

But the victims also want accountability for anyone in positions of authority, as she has said – anyone who found out about this and failed to act, or who knew about it and failed to act.

So does she agree with me that no councillor of any political party, no social worker, no police officer, no council officer and no ethnic group should hide from the fierce scrutiny of this national inquiry?

Worth reading in full.

Needless to say, ‘ethnicity’ isn’t religion.

The term ‘grooming’ is a sanitised one.

How much denial is ‘too much’ denial?

Was the response of the institutions and authorities what might be expected from them in the system of diversity with its favoured and disfavoured groups?

No such thing a grooming gangs. The reality is Pakistani Rape Gangs.

I think you mean Muslim Rape Gangs. The perpetrators country of origin/heritage doesn’t explain why they regarded white girls as “fair game”. What Islam teaches people about non believers, women/girls who don’t follow strict dress/moral codes and the fact that the founder of their religion had sex with a 9 year old girl starts to explain why these men thought it was acceptable to do what they did.

Apparently it is necessary to say ethnicity isn’t a religion and religion isn’t a race.

We hear it all the time… Islamophobia is “racism”, wearing the burqa is an Islamic religious observation, not one observed by some Arab Muslims, but not Asian Muslims.

Hang on a minute, just a few months ago the entire Labour government went into an epileptic fit when someone suggested that the grooming gangs were predominantly of Pakistani men.
Anybody raising the issue was immediately dismissed as a right-wing, bigoted, racist thug.
Now within a matter of a few weeks, ooops, indeed, there is a noticeable ethnic background to the perpetrators.
What has happened?
Oh, there were local elections and Reform did really well.

I think Two-Tier chose Louise Casey to carry out the review, believing that she was a trusted member of the Establishment who would “do the right thing and find that no Public Inquiry was needed.”

And then she said the exact opposite.

True. They had no option once the report was made public. Had it not been delivered, or not undertaken, they would still be denying the truth.

It’s because they have realised if they don’t have an enquiry there will be an independent one which they will have no control over. It may draw conclusions which are unfavorable towards MPs, lawyers, and former heads of the CPS…

I personally think politicians have yet to catch on that the general public is more informed nowadays. It is more difficult to pull the wool over their eyes. Combined with all the digital receipts the public has, highlighting their lies, the respect for politicians has come to an all time low.

Everyone knows that people should only be expected to know a thing is wrong if the big rule book says it’s wrong. If the big rule book doesn’t say it’s wrong, go right ahead. The key is to stop thinking. Just consult the big rule book. Sorted. Makes life so much easier if you don’t think.

If you want to do it, but find that the big rule book of your choice says it’s wrong, then just choose a big rule book which doesn’t mention it.

Under age 16 it is Statutory rape whether consent is given or not.

What exactly needs tightening up?

Plying a minor with alcohol and/of drugs is against the law, so is beating anyone, burning with cigarettes, boiling water, cutting, threatening.

Again… what laws need tightening up?

The whitewash has started. It goes waaaaay beyond failing to spot or acknowledge ethnicity. The election of the pro-Gaza lot was a warning to Lbour in particular to keep it buried.

Not done any analysis of the report yet but will be looking for, among other stuff, references, if any, to voting irregularities.

Probably, but NG was completely from the wrong side of politics to have any notice taken of him. After all, the Labour party was busy calling him a racist over it, many of them are still doing so over the same thing only now the racists are the ones who have bowed to Casey’s report and realised they have to try to control what the enquiry investigates to try to save their own necks.

I really don’t know how anyone currently polishing a bench in the H of C, with certain few honourable exceptions, could now have the brass neck to ever claim….”we didn’t know anything about this.”

I don’t know how any of them cannot plead for forgiveness on a daily basis. Rightly this Parliament should now be dissolved and the current incumbents barred from ever standing for public office again. We have four locally who have over many years sought to ridicule local campaigners, who have worked tirelessly to obtain justice for these girls and who knew the truth all along :

Debbie Abrahams, Jim McMahon, Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham. The Mayor of Manchester is worthy of special note for the vicious hounding of one of Oldham’s foremost campaigners, Ms Debbie Barratt-Cole who he chased out of her home town because she had the temerity to call him out on the Paki Rape Gangs – available on YouTube.

And not to forget Dame Maggie Oliver who resigned from the GMP mafia in disgust at the refusal of the hierarchy to take action; a hero if ever there was one.

Disagree that the Lib Dems didn’t know about this. Every LD abstained from the vote for a enquiry in January, including my MP. I told him that he and his Party should hang their heads heads in shame. His response was the Jay report would deal with it and if it didn’t he and his Party would “put feet to the coals”. I haven’t smelt any burnt flesh in the last 6 months.

Yes, IIRC, there were over 300+ MPs who voted against an enquiry in January, the LDs abstained.

I couldn’t find any evidence of how Starmer or Rayner voted. Are those two excluded from voting in the house, being as they are ‘leading incumbents’ (for want of another word!) of the party in power, or just blithely ignoring / shirking their responsibilities and sitting on the fence? I’ve always thought that those who don’t vote / abstain are cowards!

The reason the Anti-White Party (once known as the Labour Party) excused, allowed and supported the mass rape of English children is because it imagined that non-whites would replace the white working class as the party’s predominant subservient client group. But even the Anti-White Party is now aware (dimly) that its pets will betray it in the end. This is the real reason for the laughable spectacle of the Anti-White Party proposing to hold an inquiry into the rapes it itself promoted.

Every word of this confuses me. So the Government will ensure that adults raping children will face the most serious charge of rape. WTF, sex with a child has always been statutory rape. No child can give consent. The issue is not a lack of law, it’s our rubbish judiciary not handing down the tough, appropriate sentence. Time and time again our crap judges nod and wink to this scum and let them off with pathetic punishment. Is Cooper now claiming ministers can influence judges and sentencing contrary to what they have claimed for the last year that they don’t have a say in the legal process?

Just goes to show the degree of fear behind the institutional omerta. It took Baroness Casey to make it safe to speak.

I have moved on from anger to incandescent rage. Have just downloaded the full report and did three word counts. The word Asian appears 111 times in the 200-page audit, “Pakistani” 45 times, and “Muslim” just 19 times.
Way to go to stigmatise all Asians despite the clarity of the evidence.

Oh? No point “tightening” the law if police, prosecution, judiciary, politicians don’t apply it with equality and equity. Had they done that with existing law no “tightening “ would be needed. More obfuscation and excuses about why cases were not investigated properly and charges brought where appropriate.

And what exactly are they going to “tighten”? It will no doubt be an excuse to increase convictions of white men in he-said/she-said cases so we get back to “the woman must always be believed” and not required to be cross-examine in Court.
