That way there can be no excuses for not taking action .

As I said earlier I think there is smoke screen here with the ethnicity of offenders being used to cover up the failings of others . Maybe some investigations were quietly shelved because people in high places feared that sexual offences committed by people who were not of ethnic origin might be revealed.

Ann Cryer, MP for Keighley fought for years to get forced marriages banned but recieved little support from fellow MPs because they were scared of alienating Muslim Labour voters.
Local authority workers/police/teachers etc are "special" because they were in a unique position to stop the abuse and, for a variety of reasons (none honourable) chose not to.

It is not just about child sexual abuse either - Female genital mutilation, Trojan Horse schools, forced marriages, "honour" killings - have also not received the attention from the police and local authorities that they merit. The fear (from the point of view of the "top" people involved - councillors, Social Services Directors, senior police officers) - is that such accusations reflect upon the whole community and would damage that most sacred of local government sacred cows, "Community Cohesion."Ann Cryer, MP for Keighley fought for years to get forced marriages banned but recieved little support from fellow MPs because they were scared of alienating Muslim Labour voters.

I wanted a couple of items myself and looking into the window of the general store I remarked to my host that the sparse selection of goods in the window looked old and faded.
My host replied that the shop belonged to a Pakistani family so 'locals' were reluctant to shop there because 'those people are not very clean' so the local population preferred to walk to another shop rather than to patronise them .Consequently very few goods were sold so the stock looked old.
Just then an Asian woman came to the window and gazed out with sad eyes. I felt awful for her and went into the shop and bought some trivial items. She was very polite and attentive.
What a way to treat people many of whom were descendants of those we encouraged to come here to boost the labour shortage after WW2 and who helped build prosperity in the UK.
