Met Police set to reopen 9,000 cases in major London grooming gangs probe

[IwantToRetire]

In some incidences, children as young as 11 who reported being raped saw trials against their attackers collapse and were left to become victims of further abuse.

Suspected grooming gang and child exploitation cases from the last 15 years will be reviewed as part of the investigation, Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said in letter to Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan on Friday evening.

A government-ordered audit into the grooming gangs scandal earlier this year found there is “mismatch” in the way the Met and London local authorities record child abuse.

Baroness Louise Casey’s report said the force logged 2.77 contact child sexual abuse cases per 1,000 children, while boroughs recorded just 1.3 child-in-need assessments for child sexual exploitation and 1.79 for child sexual abuse.

There also appears to be a significant overlap between child sexual abuse and county lines drug trafficking gangs.

These girls are seen as lesser, as we know. The wrong backgrounds. That's a huge part of why it's taken so long for them to even get a hearing. Class is never far away.

There's something about this thread that reminds me of Iain Dale, a few weeks ago, saying that when he sees a non-white face he feels glad in his heart and would like to know what has brought that person to Britain, the land of opportunity.

I mean come on Iain, tell us you live in Tunbridge Wells without telling us you live in Tunbridge Wells. If you lived in Whitechapel the novelty would wear off pretty quickly.

There's a certain type of privileged lefty who seems to have no knowledge of normie white Brits - except that they instinctively hate and fear normie white Brits, who they see as permanently on the brink of turning into a fascist mob - and also to have no knowledge of minority communities. It's all about upscale whites using minorities as a prop to differentiate themselves from downscale whites.

I find it particularly distasteful that while the harms done to those girls are documented and appallingly harrowing, they are apparently less significant than some vague idea of 'racism' .

@SionnachRuadh I am in Whitechapel, by coincidence at the moment and it is lovely tbh, having a great time. I think Rochdale, Halifax or Burnley is where my "betters" need to spend a week or 2 before telling me what I am allowed to think or you know, what happens to me, in my actual real life 😂

100%

Reminding me a bit of how many men are engaged in a status struggle with other men, and women are only seen as incidental tokens of success - or obstacles - within that framework.

I don't mind Whitechapel and I go there often. I don't know why Whitechapel Fried Chicken brands itself that way when its kebabs are its real selling point... but Londoners and their fried chicken addiction is a wild thing. Our mayor is more passionate when bigging up Morley's than when he's talking politics.

Yes, I think it would open some people's eyes if they had to spend a couple of weeks in Rochdale.

That’s exactly it, they are worth sacrificing for the ‘greater good’.

Who decides on this greater good?

It’s why you get so many insults of being thick, lazy, racist etc if you don’t go along with it.

Because these elites or middle class bleeding hearts are telling you what’s the greater good, and you’d see it only you stopped being so thick and racist.

OMG YES! It's all about upscale whites using minorities as a prop to differentiate themselves from downscale whites.

We ought to be happy with our sweet tea and greasy chips, the tiny measured treats that propel us faster into our graves eh?

radicalisation of the working class
And why, perchance, is the much-despised 'working class' so ripe for radicalisation, do we think?
Answers on a postcard...

minorities... a living hell...
As chance would have it, yesterday evening I was having a conversation with a relative by marriage who is very obviously a member of a minority. He very much likes living in England, and complained at length about people who move to the UK and make no effort to integrate...

Millions of people in this country who are making the lives of minorities a living hell every single day for the crime of not being the correct ethnicity

It’s quite an effort to make someone’s life a living hell every day I’d imagine. Do you have evidence millions of white people are actively doing this?

Are you aware of what happens to the left when they help the extremists take over?

The Iranian revolution of 1978–83 was a disaster for Iranian leftists, who, having worked for the overthrow of the Shah, soon found themselves being persecuted by the hard-line followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini. This paper looks at the response of Western leftists to the unfolding of the revolution, considering, first, to what extent Marxist and class-based analyses helped explain the revolution and, second, why so many Western leftist groups and individuals defended the Khomeini faction even as it moved against secular leftists and liberals. It concludes that an uncritical identification with Khomeini's declared ‘anti-imperialism’ distorted the views of those who would ordinarily have opposed his regime on class grounds, and that such a misreading was aided by an inadequate distinction between bourgeois democracy and dictatorship.

Just ask anyone who is of visible ethnic minority status and listen to what they have to say. It will truly shock you.

That's the evidence on which you decide it's worth ignoring the rape and torture of thousands of girls and women? That's it?

There's definitely a certain demographic of person on MN and they tend to be white, middle class women from the south of England.

I suggest they go and visit Bradford, Blackburn, Rotherham, Burnley and Keighley. Just see to see how it is.

I grew up in East Lancashire in the 1990s and there was grooming going on daily at the school gates. Teachers were not interested whatsoever.

There were huge gangs of Pakistani boys at school who were absolutely relentless towards white girls only: you can imagine the language and attitude.

Then occasionally there'd be a massive brawl between white lads/Pakistanis lads.

Fun times.

Defrazzled : I raise you Stoneyholme then we'll talk

😂

Sons partner grew up in West Yorkshire would agree that some people need to spend time in some towns to understand that women are less than human in some eyes.

I've learnt a lot from her family. She said to me once that it's annoying that her family accent marks them down as thick when in fact all the women studied at university, are high flying career women.

These women now middle aged were routinely sexually harassed decades ago as Bradford etc evolved, the grooming was inevitable apparently. Unless you ferried your daughter's from place to place and their friends you took risks.

@Swiftasthewind please can you answer my question as to how you expect to be taken seriously as a principled left-winger when you're on that other thread openly slavering over the idea of sex tourism?

Would love to hear that answer too.

I don’t understand? What is wrong with going to another country to look for romance? It’s not like I’ve had a good time of things here.

There were young men offering their services to female tourists on Mahe in the Seychelles when I was there (to join a ship not for the sex), maybe you could look there, just don't mistake it for "romance".

Actual scenes from this posters place of work from which they post their totally genuine opinions

That's a bit impractical and imposing. I can't imagine feeling great if a man started asking me about my negative experiences with men in order to educate him. Not to mention it wouldn't be a way to prove your claim.

Shame, cos this thread has by and large been educational and fascinating

But relative numbers are important here.
I think the best approach is to look at the ‘cultural motivation’ rather than the ethnicity. To educate those coming to the Uk about the law and cultural expectations towards women is a responsibilities of those communities.
The men coming to the UK to carry out these crimes are criminals in their own country and the Pakinstani communities know this. There have been some very vocal British born Pakistani women on this subject. Unfortunately fear plays a big factor here of being pushed away from the community if people do speak out.
Most law abiding Pakistani people are abhorrent at what has happened in their communities and would want these people removed form their societies.
This isn't about race its about ‘criminality’ But to try and cover up investigations for fear of ‘racism’ is wrong.

😲😲😲
Maybe consider the motivations on both sides.
Romance it ain't.

Yes. I think part of the problem is that people generally lump all Muslims in together (especially the energetic virtue signallers ) so the ones with bad beliefs and behaviours gain protections from people feeling compelled to be extra nice to the decent ones and sometimes overcompensating.

Many Muslims in this country are here to get away from the hellholes that extreme Islamism create. Some Muslims in this country are here to spread extreme Islamism and take over our country. We end up facilitating the bad ones and often turning a blind eye (repeated first cousin marriage for example) to harmful behaviours because we daren’t upset ‘the Muslims’.

Working through all these thought processes is the talking only with people yelling ‘racist’ at us is so important. There is clearly an issue. The left want to solve it by telling us to shut up and submit to our fate. We want to talk and find a solution.
