Guardian article- disgusting euphemism of the systematic rape of 1400 children

[Heylo]

I read this article last night and I am livid. She discusses the riots in Rotherham. She mentions ‘a town with past tensions’. She makes no mention of the systematic and paedophilic rape of 1400 children.

classic guardian, don’t talk about it and don’t report it if it doesn’t fit the narrative.

I can’t wait for this women hating, gay people hating, MRM loving rag to bankrupt.

here’s the article below. Pls consider writing into complain. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/05/a-dark-day-anger-in-rotherham-after-riot-at-hotel-housing-asylum-seekers

But it's "our women and girls" until it's the increase in DV after England games, or until it's white men doing the raping, it's not about women and girls at all

People are more concerned about being labeled racist than about protecting women and girls. This hasn't changed.

Yes.

But it's "our women and girls" until it's the increase in DV after England games, or until it's white men doing the raping, it's not about women and girls at all

And I also agree with this.

Basically, everyone ignores the rights, safety and feelings of women and girls, they are secondary to pretty much every other issue.

I read the Jay report on the Rotherham Child sexual exploitation case from a link on the Guardian website. I really recommend everyone who is interested on this thread to do the same. It is simply a stunning and horrifying piece of work by Professor Jay and should be better known.
It dawned on me as I read it that the real problem was patriarchy. Men in positions of power in society aided and abetted the abusers of vulnerable girls over years because that's what they wanted to do.
Incidently Professor Jay makes the point that no one knows if it was a cover up because the council or police didn't want to be accused of racism because the police failed to record the ethnic origin of the men they caught in cars with girls.
I really urge people to read the report for themselves, the Professor went into many of the questions people are raising here like if girls of Asian origin were also abused and how the local Asian origin community responded. I do advise you not to try to read it all in one go, it is the most horrible thing I think I have ever read. When Margaret Atwood said she hadn't made up anything in the Handmaids Tale she wasn't joking.

The Guardian ceased to be a pro feminist and LGB paper when it decided that those groups were less important then maintaining ideological purity on the trans and immigration issues. They preferred to bully their women journalists out of the paper who dared flag the very real issues that were affecting women and the LBG community.

I've read both the Jay report, when it came out, and also Dame Louise Casey's report into Rotherham Council which came out in February 2015.

Her report shows that 70% of Rotherham councillors interviewed didn't agree with the Jay report and had ignored its findings.

The issues around perceptions and reality of race issues are discussed on pages 32-36 and in other sections where they crop up. And they did.

Its not 'past tensions' for locals and victims, these are ongoing issues.

''11 June 2024 - Child sex abusers are continuing to prey on youngsters in Rotherham more than 12 years after the grooming gang scandal was first exposed, locals have claimed.''

''The latest prosecution follows a five-year investigation by officers from the National Crime Agency's Operation Stovewood, the UK's biggest investigation into child abuse.
A spokesman told the Daily Mail: 'Our caseload so far involves over 200 arrests out of 300 suspects, and 1,150 victims. So far, there have been 33 convictions after 15 trials but there are further trials due to start and we have more than 50 live investigations.''

Yes that's an important point. It's shocking.

So who do people think were pimping girls forty years ago? It wasn't Muslim men, it was afro Caribbean and white men. Prior to that it tended to be Irish men. Who consistently looked the other way? Men in power, men in the police. Did some of those men make money out of turning a blind eye, almost certainly.

The Guardian has a well established culture of being far more concerned about looking racist, than it is about looking misogynistic.

I was so appalled by their coverage of the Rotherham cases that I stopped buying or supporting the Guardian at that time.

Was it because of the cultural differences, or because these girls were primarily from foster homes (where no one looked after them) or from very poor families - and therefore much more vulnerable?

If you want to talk about cultural attitudes, how about discussing how young Black girls are viewed in our society?

Yes, no argument there.

I think it was both. I don't see the point of denying that it was part of it.

I'm denying it was horrible, but I disagree that all Muslim man view white girls in this way. This particular group, yes - but they are lowlife who simply happened to be from one particular group of our society. Also, I would like to remind you this went on for so long not only because police feared being branded "racist" (idiotic, I agree), but also because until fairly recently these girls were branded "promiscuous" and even "underage prostitutes" by police and social services and were not seen as victims.

Yeah I worked with northern girls who were being sexually abused and raped but who were in the ‘care’ system. There were different men who did this and most were part of a group. The biggest failure was the failure of anyone to give a shit. Police, social workers, care home staff, councillors and MPs. The attitude was that it was consensual. Beyond that also that it was anything from sad to the girls being tarts depending on who you talked to. In short men were and are the problem.

I didn't say all Muslim men did, and I don't need "reminding" of anything, thanks.

@Allthegoodnamesarechosen look up the Socialist Workers Party re the pink and yellow signs. Don’t know much apart from some comments on X describing them as a fringe communist party (not my words).

Being, if not on the Right Side of History, on the Right Side of the Argument. because that seems to be the most important thing, and we see it everywhere. SM is full of posts from middle-class Remain-y groups, slagging off thick Northerners for raiding pie shops and being racist (and the riots are inexcusable, for sure), continuing to lecture Brexit voters about their foolishness, women for being racist about 'Western ideals of beauty', the finger-wagging is everywhere, including MN. And the assertation behind all of it,

"I'm a considerably better person than yew!"

Halo-polishing.

Are you suggesting these men were rioting to protect women and children?

Are you suggesting the asylum seekers in the hotel were sexually abusing children?

If so, you're wrong. The only connection is that violent men will use any excuse to be violent - I expect the wives and girlfriends of these rioters know that only too well. Protecting women and children, my arse.

indeed. The “ save our girls” thing is dripping with racism, that’s why you didn’t hear a peep from them when the white man killed a black teen with a sword or when the white man burnt a Somali woman and her two kids to death in their house or when violent white men have went on various misogynistic rampages targeting women or when Lucy Letby killed 7 babies….etc etc

Don’t know much apart from some comments on X describing them as a fringe communist party (not my words).

They're awful. Google "Comrade Delta".
