Labour MP on Newcastle scandal: People care more about being called racist than stopping child abuse
7 replies, posted
[quote]Speaking on the BBC’s Radio 4 Today programme, Ms Champion said there was a need to “acknowledge” that in all of the towns where similar cases have occurred “the majority of the perpetrators have been British Pakistani”.
“On the news last night there was a picture of 18 men convicted and there was no comment that 17 of those were clearly Asian men. It just pains me that this is going on time and time and time again and the Government aren’t researching what is going on.
“We have got now, hundreds of Pakistani men who have been convicted of this crime, why are we not commissioning research to see what is going on and how we need to change what is going on."
Asked whether she herself would be attacked for her comments, Ms Champion replied: “Absolutely. The far-right will attack me for not doing enough and the floppy left will have a go at me for being a racist. But this isn’t racist, this is child protection. We need to be grown up about it and deal with it.
“There are many types of child abuse. The particular gang related one - the prosecutions and convictions we get are predominately Pakistani men and therefore we have to address this.
“If it was people from a particular town that were doing this crime across the country, if it people from a motorbike gang doing this, we would recognise that as an indicator and deal with it. But we’re just not dealing it.
Pressed further, the Rotherham MP added: “I genuinely think that it’s because more people are afraid to be called a racist than they are afraid to be wrong about calling out child abuse.”
“What I’m all about is prevention. It’s all great hand-ringing after it’s happened but why has it happened? Lives are being absolutely destroyed because of this and also I have to say within my own constituency – I didn’t sleep last night coming on talking about this because I know every time I talk about it the level of Islamophobia increases."
But her comments are likely to be criticised by those who say they risk cultivating racist attitudes by implying a link between ethnic background a propensity to commit certain crimes.
Northumbria Police Chief Constable Steve Ashman added that men from a wide range of communities have been arrested by his force and convicted, including white men, Turkish men and Pakistani men.[/quote]

I dont think race shouldn't be related to the fact that this shit happens to begin with.
Doesn't matter if you're white, black, middle eastern, asian, african, whatever. You don't fuck kids....
and whoever believes that because you arrest these people for being child fuckers is being "Racist". You need to get reality beaten into your skull.
Here we go with this retarded logic again, like 5 years ago. No, they aren't afraid of being called racist, they just sucked balls at their job. Unless you also think the baby P case, Jimmy Saville, countless priest cases and the Westminster sex ring were all not sorted out because they were afraid of being called racist against whites.
The police break up major crime involving non whites all the time for fuck's sake. This isn't involving race, it involves the authorities responsible being complete fucking morons, like many cases involving child abuse in our country.
If people calling you racist stops you from properly dealing with child abuse I'd say the problem is more with you than them.
to give you guys an idea of how many sex rings we have going on and the incompetency of the police and our government in dealing with it:

easily hundreds of men perpetrating these crimes all over the country, and thousands of young girls and boys (if not many more) have been sexually abused and exploited for many many years - and these are the ones we just know about. there's almost certainly lots more sex abuse rings we don't know about yet, because they keep finding new ones all the time
Wtf you have Wikipedia pages about your sex rings?
That's a lot and also messed up.

That only scratches the surface, like Sobo said those are just some that we are aware of.
Jimmy Saville was raping children in hospitals for decades and he was never brought to justice, mainly because people were covering for him and his victims tended to be poor people who people didn't give a shit about so the authorities didn't really try or do anything.
Like I said, child protection in this country is a fucking joke and nothing is ever done about it, no matter how many vile acts get revealed.

none of those links even covered london (given the sheer size and diversity of the city it's bound to have some serious rape gangs active there), so the real magnitude of the problem might be far, far worse than thought and i think that a lot of dishonest people are downplaying the problem
each time they go "this is a limited event and you can't draw any inferences from this" and then another happens in another part of the country.
