Oh. What are you saying here ? I don't care about black people/black victims ?

And this right here people: is why we're in this mess. Posters like this.

Nope absolutely not I am not saying that. I am talking about how no one can talk about certain gangs and when I bring up certain gangs you tell me I cannot talk about it.

I asked for your thoughts on the black gangs. You said you didn't want to talk about them. Nothing about that implied you are racist.

Yes you are the reason why we're in the mess. Telling certain groups they are only allowed to talk about certain things and trying to silence anyone who wants to talk about other elements. Just like the press did.

So first you say you cannot speak about certain gangs then admit the thread is ALL about those said gangs. When that is pointed out that this proves you can in fact talk about them you then try and tell me I shouldn't talk about certain gangs on here instead.

The irony that you do not want me to talk about a certain group of grooming gangs all while crying that you are not allowed to talk about a certain group. Telling me to make my own thread and not talk about things on a general thread about gangs.

You couldn't make it up. Crying over this one minute then trying to control and limit what people talk about yourself trying to specify this is for muslim gang talk only.

So what you mean is you are pissed that people are talking about things you do not want to talk about or hear. You want your talk to dominate and were crying earlier that others were talking about other elements and parts of the gang issue and you didn't like it. That was your issue.

Nope we can all talk on here about all things. As you said you wanted. Practice what you preach.

Honestly, I haven't even read your reply and I'm not going to. Your posts on this thread tell us all we need to know. Your typing fingers must be exhausted.
As I said, start your own thread.

You are contradicting yourself there.

This thread is lots of people talking about muslim gangs.
This shows they are not being talked about.

You are talking about it so yes it is being talked about - this very thread is people talking about it! Duh!

I asked you about black gangs because I have not seen one person talking about them. Now that is something no one is talking about and you seem hell bent on not doing for some reason.

Oh pulling that tactic are you now? The age old one!

Abhorrent.

I take my hat off to you. Your posts have been brilliant throughout this thread. I had to bow out of this thread yesterday. The lengths some will go to to try and distract is incredible.

Same. It must be like trying to shovel snow in a blizzard making your reasonable points plain amongst the barrage of faux stupidity and misdirection.

I am getting really tired of the aggressive attitude on this thread.
Im on here because I am really angry at the way these girls have been betrayed for decades by the people who should have protected them .
Im angry that politicians put their careers before the safety of children.
Im angry that the public has been gaslit over and over.
Im angry that Ann Cryer and other Labour MPs were called racists for daring to talk about this topic.
Im angry that Sadiq Khan refused to answer questions about whether there were grooming gangs in London earlier this year because he said that the question was a “dog whistle “ for racists.
Im also fed up at the attitude of posters on here who are enjoying winding us up with stupid deflections.
I trust Maggie Oliver and she trusts Louise Casey so im hopeful that justice and truth will prevail

You then started asking me about black people !? Honestly, you're coming across oddly

They have but The Conservatives have been equally abysmal regardless of what Kemi Badenoch boasts. She held the position of Minister for Women 2022/24 and did zilch. She not once thought to speak to the victims of grooming gangs during her time in office and does not appear to have raised questions in parliament concerning these crimes during this time.

This issue is a plague on both of their houses, I agree. But the conservatives and reform both campaigned on grooming gangs at a local level in the July general election campaign. It was on the conservative's campaign literature in Oldham. Labour's leaflets didn't mention it.

Labour have a blind spot here. The standard response is ‘far right’.

It’s not working anymore.

Absolutely! But it is easy to pretend there aren't the same level of victims in that community or maybe people do not care that there will be many victims in that community suffering in silence. Mainly white that we know of but we damn well know there will be countless victims in their own communities that are not thought of.

The fact people think that brown kids are safe with brown paedos blows my mind!

Exactly. Brown girls face the threat of child marriage and, in extreme cases, of ‘honour killing’ if they refuse. And too many go through FGM to ‘keep them pure’. I have no doubt that those men who abused white WC girls also abused girls in their own families. It will be very under reported, especially with the shame involved.

I really don’t get why it has to be a competition? All victims of SA have suffered as a result of misogyny and denial.

A perfect example of just one of the reasons people are turning to Reform. This elected man's disingenuous regard towards the victims of the very real grooming gangs is infuriating. There's so much ore I could say about him but this isn't the thread for it.

A sensible answer. But, no, not according to a couple of hell-bent posters on here. It's only racist, gammon thugs that are turning to reform. Their opinion is "right think" remember. Everyone else is wrong and a racist in denial.

I've never mentioned Reform! Or anyone being racist but keep up the victim mentality! I specifically said I didn't call you racist but you ignore things that do not fit into your narrative.

Fetaface · 18/06/2025 18:27

SquashedMallow · 18/06/2025 18:21

I never said any of what you've just said.

Luckily other posters can read.

You clearly don't think the ethnicity of the Pakistani men is in anyway important to the formation of these grooming gangs. Fair comment. It seems a report that looks at in very fine detail thinks different. So perhaps email the key author and take your deflections and whatabouttery up with them? Your attitude is fast going out of fashion.

Here you go. You said you want to be able to speak out about the heritage of grooming gangs. I said grand lets talk.

You said you wanted to talk about groups of different ethnicities. You said you were pissed at not being able to talk about it.

I said yes you can. Which you didn't respond to because you didn't want to hear that comment.

Then when I asked you a question about a group of different ethnicity you then spit your dummy out and say you don't want colour related questions. I was opening up discussions about another ethnicity for us to talk about as you said you wanted to but apparently not so.

You yourself said you wanted to talk about groups of different ethnicities. I then offered to talk about it. You then said you do not want to talk about it.

Make your bloody mind up!

And no one is calling you racist. That is the label you are giving yourself for some reason.

It's impossible he doesn't know. It's been going on for ever.

I went to uni in London in 1981. If a male friend walked me home from the tube to halls, there were Pakistani men in cars who would pull up beside us and offer him money to sleep with me. They were disgusting. And that was more than 40 years ago.

Sadiq Khan is sickening. He should be utterly ashamed of himself.

Thank you for Saying this.

I'm also sick and tired of the random 'colour' related questions trying to get me to admit I'm racist. When without hyperbolic declarations- quite simply: I'm not.

Its how we got here isn't it ? They'll be looking over their shoulders for a very long time waiting for a pat on the back from the group they're trying to virtue signal to....
