Children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, abducted, trafficked to other cities in England, beaten and intimidated...there had been "blatant" collective failures by the council's leadership, senior managers had "underplayed" the scale of the problem and South Yorkshire Police had failed to prioritise the issue...Revealing details of the inquiry's findings, Prof Jay said: "It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered." The inquiry team found examples of "children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone"..District Commander for Rotherham, Ch Supt Jason Harwin said: "Firstly I'd like to start by offering an unreserved apology to the victims of child sexual exploitation who did not receive the level of service they should be able to expect from their local police force..."We fully acknowledge our previous failings."...The report found: "Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so."...Prof Jay said: "The authorities involved have a great deal to answer for."

THAT is what I'm talking about. It makes me wonder if you know even one thing you're talking about.
Of course I'm not. It really happened, of course, and you can see from the above that even the authorities themselves, as well as the experts, are at long last acknowledging the rampant evil they failed to resist, and actually accommodated. It was done by the Muslim gangs in Rotherham, it was known in their community, by the authorities, by the social services, and by the politicians. There were complainants, evidence, proof -- for years -- and no action. You are either unknowing of those facts, or lying about them.You are making up some kind of bullshit accusation.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2025 5:51 am Are you just making excuses for the rapists, or for the cowards who kept empowering them? Seriously, who are you trying to defend?
That you can tolerate it, and even excuse it, is so unthinkable to me that I cannot even believe you're trying to do it. I can only imagine it's because the most wicked perps were Muslims and people-of-colour. Otherwise, I have no idea why you'd advocate letting child rapists and those who enabled them off the hook. But these were children. They had no power, and those who should have protected them failed to.
It's you who either has no idea of what really happened or how justice works, or you're saying something very wicked yourself. Those are the only possible conclusions, I guess. I can't think of the third option.
Don't worry, Gary. He didn't hurt my feelings. But when somebody starts off like that, you know they've got no intention of listening to anything you say anyway, so Prom was writing himself off for credibility.
