Didn't they get a good vote there in the euros as well?UKIP gained 16% between 2010 & the McShame by-election in 2012; Ms Champion must be quietly eyeing up other career options atm.

Yep, 4.5k > LabDidn't they get a good vote there in the euros as well?
I think you know what I mean
Once again suspensions that officials on the inside although not involved directly were involved in cover ups. Why.The.Fuck would they do that?
They were making "lifestyle choices".Of course a large number of these girls probably dressed much older than their years, had low self esteem and regional accents and therefore weren't considered to be vulnerable underage teenage girls whose lives were blighted by criminal abuse, they were just "slags" who brought it upon themselves.
I could weep with frustration sometimes, I really could.
Yeah. At 13. With no support system in place and no idea of what to expect from life.They were making "lifestyle choices".
Can't stomach reading more of this. Sick, evil fucking animals.
Difficult Truths.Political correctness
Sorry kimber you were in post when this atrocity was happening you need to go.
Some people probably were afraid of being accused of being racist but thats not an excuse not on this scale.
If they knew about any abuse and did nothing effective including resigning then out of the industry they go, for ever. If they were complicit, then well, just kill yourselves.btw, do posters think low level social workers just lose their jobs even though they are in other cities, posts, etc now, or is it senior levels whose should face sanctions or both?

no.btw, does the left(in its widest sense) have any culpability?, some of them fostered an atmosphere where you just couldn't raise certain issues?
I’m not going to use the “PC” term as it’s just a lazy way of dealing with a sensitive subject.
However, I’ve conducted, and been otherwise party to, investigations in to allegations of racism in local government and I can tell you that some employees are worried about being labelled a racist and would rather opt for a quiet life rather than speak out. For them it’s simply not worth it.
Being called a racist can be potentially career-ending, even if the allegation is unfounded. Some of the mud sticks and there is often a “no smoke without fire” attitude from both colleagues and managers, many of whom do not want risk being tarred with the same brush.
I’m in no position to say what part, if any, this played in Rotherham.
But if individual, relatively junior, social workers say that they felt under pressure, even if it was unspoken, not to address certain issues I don’t think it should be dismissed as, in my experience, it does happen.
Me too ..yet again.
Some people do who might self identify as left. Given though the core issues of leftism like justice, emancipation, equality, freedom, I would suggest many of the so called left have always been nothing but cunts.btw, does the left(in its widest sense) have any culpability?, some of them fostered an atmosphere where you just couldn't raise certain issues?
yes, see the Unison 'three monkeys' thread, I've had experience of these 'witch hunts' and they come very close to stalinism
It's not as if there was a lack of evidence of a growing problem on Rotherham's streets.
Internal reports from a decade ago revealed "links between child sexual exploitation and drugs, guns and criminality".
Schools raised the alert about children being picked up "by taxis, given presents and mobile phones and taken to meet large numbers of unknown males".
