And how does she explain why they did little or nothing while in government, but are suddenly full of ideas now they’re in opposition?
Except for white British ethnicity and Christian or atheist/agnostic religious views, I assume.
This stuff is heading to an increasingly dark place.
“A nationwide inquiry into grooming gangs must “consider the role of ethnicity, religion and other cultural factors”, the opposition leader, Kemi Badenoch, has said.
Baroness (Louise) Casey’s own report admitted that many of these cases are committed by people of Asian and Pakistani ethnicities. Her own report said that those who downplay the ethnicity of perpetrators are continuing to let down society, local communities and the victims. We agree.”
I agree. If ethnicity or religion were used as a shield to avoid accountability for these crimes, we need to know so this can never be allowed to happen again.
The problem is that they really just want an enquiry into certain ethnic grooming gangs. They don’t actually care about the myriad of ways girls can be targeted for abuse, just the subset that allows them to score political points.
Well, the “sack Reeves over the budget” attack line flopped (in fact, it hasn’t been this quiet for the government for a long time) so it’s time to reheat this one I suppose.
(Incidentally, fully happy for there to be an inquiry but it’s hard to take the Conservatives seriously here when they had 14 years in which to do this themselves but one of their leaders described it as “spaffing money up the wall”)
Why is it only ever grooming gangs? Why not all CSE/CSA? The abuse in foster homes and orphanages? The church,? School? In families?
Let me guess, it’s because doing that would make it harder to blame it all on brown people/muslims.
Could it also look at the clear complicity of the local police and social services who let these horrific crimes to occur over decades?
The more we don’t talk about religion and race being contributing factors to certain crimes, the more this will not be stamped out. The NHS is leaking so many funds due to first cousin marriages which lead to known high percentage birth defects.
Grooming gangs, honour killings, fraud and tax evasion is much higher in certain ethnic and religious communities in the UK. This isn’t about minorities, it’s people knowing rising the country.
Just because you are born a Muslim and have a Muslim name does not make you 100% religious and devout. Not saying they were not cultural Muslim.
But to do the things they were doing you would need to cross a lot of boundaries set by Islam as being Haram.
Even selling and transporting alcohol is forbidden.
These people were criminal scum who realised that the police and social services did not care.
Some people have tried to paint this as these people were doing what they were doing as some sort of religious justification.
Nobody is saying they shouldn’t consider ethnicity and religion, the argument was that it shouldn’t be the sole focus because if you only look at Pakistani Muslims you will miss social workers, police and local politicians who enabled, and in some cases too party , in the abuse.
