I understand what @Deeyah_Khan is saying, but I feel like the grooming and raping of children is being downplayed here... "difficult/ugly/unpleasant part of living together". It's more than that

She's almost contradicting her own suggestion of being honest about the issue.
-
She is obfuscating because being honest here is a deathknell to her carreer, social status and a betrayal to her way she wishes to see the world.

‘We actually want to make this work,’ therein lies the danger of the left, their utopian fantasies lead to importing practices and cultures that would shame medieval England let alone modern England.
-
The Left have it in their blood to want to manage and control everything and when confronted by realities, they just get angry, hostile, aggressive to anyone questioning their presumptiousness about life. Not saying Deeyah does this

Thank you for this Russel, and as always
@Deeyah_Khan, you’re a champ for saying this. It’s perfect
-
The same usual bs.
#fakecentrists pretending to care. -
Something to keep in mind. The gullible Brits, prone to hoping for the best but so often taken for mugs by desperate people from harsh cultures exploiting our softness.

You will fight, or die. There is no 3rd way. Good luck, from the across the pond. We are watching closely.
-
"fight or die" says the guy with "most are capable of redemption" in his bio. yikes!
-
Thank you for your interest. Can you explain further, or are the movies in our heads too different for us to relate?

But when "normal" people talk about or criticize things like this they are labelled "extreme right" by the left



-
What's "normal" people? I don't know a single person across any political spectrum that doesn't criticise the things mentioned.
-
Unfortunately, the “things mentioned” weren’t criticised enough in the early 2000s when this was becoming a huge problem, especially up in Rochdale and Rotherham. The Labour MPs up there, the girls, the child support folk weren’t listened to. Sadly only the BNP were speaking out

From my point of view, it's unfortunate that you can't express concern about "grooming gangs" - are they even a problem? - without immediately being lumped into the anti-islamic hard right, who monopolise the conversation.
-
By raising the issue you shouldn't be lumped into a far right group who do use it for their own agenda. Ppl need to speak up for kids who are getting abused. Whether it be by grooming gangs, church clergy, parents or youth association officers.
-
Really you must live in la la land because 10 years ago when it was said on national tv the person was call racist/far right when he tried to highlight this issue RB NODDING says it all usually he's so vocal the silence is deafening this person is deflecting and contradictory!

-
To move it from the realm of opinion into a law and order/public health/social issue we just need some stats to show the extent of the problem. Is it a 'man bites dog' news story, if not how many grooming gangs are there and 1/2
-
...if gangs are something specific to the ME community (rather than plain old pedo gangs, which is a day-to-day police job) what is that community doing about it? Who is responsible for taking charge of the issue? 2/2
-
Yes. Middle Eastern, as opposed to Islamic. From your link "over-representation of (South) Asian men in group-based child sexual exploitation crimes". Not British culture. Although I get it: British Pakistanis' fundamentalist Islamic (ie. out of date) views.

Ok I thought that afterwards! Thank you
