Rochdale Report



 From "Easy Meat" (26 August 2014):"  In 2011 the former Home Secretary Jack Straw was accused of 'stereotyping' after suggesting some men of Pakistani origin see white girls as 'easy meat'. He was quick to qualify his remark by adding 'Pakistanis, let's be clear, are not the only people who commit sexual offences, and overwhelmingly the sex offenders' wings of prisons are full of white sex offenders'."

The reticence continues in the BBC report on the Rochdale scandal.

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman made several comments about the ethnicity of abusers in high-profile gangs. In the Mail on Sunday she said "the perpetrators are groups of men, almost all British-Pakistani".

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said "Victims of grooming gangs have been ignored because of political correctness". 

That must stop.
