Does the reason UK (from afar POV) doesn’t seem to ‘care’ about mass rapes of underage girls in their nation boil down not to ‘political correctness’ but to class? They are from low-class areas/towns anyway, to UK elites have trouble sympathizing or going out on a limb?

Kind of. The real issue is that the UK has a real problem with endemic crime and violence from out-of-control lower class teenagers. Nearly all of the victims of the gangs are girls in care homes, or messed-up underclass families.

The people nominally responsible for protecting these kids -- social workers and police -- have nightmare day-to-day lives of trying to prevent them doing too much damage.

Yeah, I can imagine there are authorities stuck in what amounts to a between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place dynamic Just wondering if there’s a sort of class-driven ‘sympathy gap’ that tilts things in favor of ‘why should I stick my neck out & risk my livelihood for this lot’

I don't think that's it; a social worker is hardly "elite" anyway, and these people really do care, if often about the wrong things.

Pretty much all their work is crimes where the criminals and victims are underclass, that's the job. But they're particularly sensitive to political correctness. Rochdale was prosecuted when it hit this guy's desk, and he couldn't be called racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazir_Afzal …
