Thanks for proving my point by the way.
This is the kind of quality support Grealish is attracting and he seems happy enough.
Well the one time shadow home secretary did not hold your opinion.“I know in Rotherham I have met frontline social workers who when, we are talking 10 years ago now, when they were trying to report this crime were sent on race relations courses, they weren told they were going to have disciplinary action if they didn’t remove the fact that they were identifying the person as a Pakistani male.
“This is still going on in our towns now, I know it is still going on, but we are still not addressing it.”
Ms Champion said that every time she spoke about the issue “the level of Islamophobia increases” and that she would be attacked for her comments.
She said: “Absolutely and from both sides, the far right will attack me for not doing enough, the floppy left will have a go at me for being a racist.
And she was also able to foretell what the liberal gimps would call her for stating these facts.
Also Jayne Senior a social worker from Rotherham details how she was officially challenged for highlighting what was going on.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/rotherham-whistleblower-explains-why-sex-abuse-ring-was-covered/Broken and Betrayed is an account of the Rotherham abuse scandal by the key whistleblower, Jayne Senior. Last month three drug-dealing brothers – known locally as Mad Ash, Bash and Bono Hussain – were convicted of offences going back to 1997. The time scale, the severity of the crimes and the sheer number of victims are so staggering that even after three official reports the affair is far from over.
Rotherham’s investigation put the number of victims at 1,400, “all barely pubescent”. Senior spent 13 years working for a Rotherham council-funded programme aimed at identifying children at risk of sexual exploitation and she estimates there are more than 1,700 victims: this in a town of just 250,000. As of now, eight men of Pakistani origin and two white women have been convicted of abuse; five in 2010 after an investigation prompted by Senior; and, this year, the Hussain brothers’ circle, also on evidence collected by Senior’s team in 2002.
Yet it is not the severity of the crimes, nor the paucity of convictions that make the affair a scandal. It is the cover-up. Senior repeatedly found warnings went unheeded, evidence was destroyed and, when her team gave information to outside police forces, she was reprimanded and accused of distortion and unprofessionalism.
The first cover-up came in 2002. An academic named Adele Gladman had been seconded to Senior’s team, where she collated existing files to show the weight of evidence that already existed against the Hussain brothers. Gladman shared her report with the council, and local and South Yorkshire police commanders, with the result that social services raided Senior’s office and confiscated the files. Gladman was sacked.
There is still no satisfactory answer as to why so many of Rotherham’s institutions behaved so badly. The MP until 2012 was Dennis MacShane, who resigned after being imprisoned for expenses abuses. Senior alleges that she wrote MacShane a briefing paper on the issues, ahead of a conference they both attended on child grooming. So she was upset when he later claimed on BBC radio that no one came to him directly with a problem. MacShane also stated that though he may have been guilty of “doing too little”, he added that “there was a cultural issue of not wanting to rock the multicultural boat”.
So care to withdraw your remarks that authorities and police knew and yet did nothing because of fear of being labeled racists and they only sanctioned those raising the concerns and the evidence ?I am not allowed discuss …
