Up to 1,000 children may have been victims in worst UK abuse ring https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/mar/12/1000-children-victims-worst-uk-abuse-ring-telford?CMP=share_btn_tw … Worse than Rotherham?
Don't worry, only 'far right' were yelling about this. We can go back to kumbaya.

Cud b complicated though.. I don't know about this episode, but in general the Far Right will not distinguish "good immigrants" from "bad immigrants" for too long.. and there is always the possibility that "gangsters happen to be Pakistanis", w stress on "happen to be", plus..
-
(again, i know nothing of this episode, just in general terms), numbers can seem huge when counted over 30 years, but how different is X from modern urban norm Y? plus, possibility of sensationalism, exaggeration, scapegoating (as in "childcare sex" scandals in US in 1980s-90s)..
-
Seems like the opposite of sensationalism in this case..took too long to come out, read the cases - and yes >90% of them ARE Pakistanis. Satanic panic happened in-the-moment like MeToo - it was closer to a 'panic' than a painstaking research account over decades.
-
As I said, i have not read more about this case.. When I don't know the details, I try to keep an open mind on general principles.. this can change if I learn more :)

Doc, Bayes' Rule exists...there are defensible priors. It appears at this stage that 'far right' priors are far more defensible than 'liberal' ones in 2018.
