I'd rather be, falsely, called a racist and speak out than allow this fucking awful shit to continue happen to young vulnerable girls. That people may have known about this and put themselves, their reputation and career first fucking sickness me. Anyone who knew about this and did nothing us complicit. Fuck them.
but with senior management, Council members and the Police. As is made clear elsewhere in the report they refused to accept the nature and scale of the sexual abuse and some actively discouraged discussion of the ethnicity of offenders.we found no evidence of children's social care staff being influenced by concerns about the ethnic origins of suspected perpetrators when dealing with individual child protection cases
I would like to think that I'd blow the whistle too. But not everyone is so strong. Employees can be bullied, threatened and manipulated by senior managers into keeping quiet. It may not be right but it happens.
You only have to look at what happens to NHS whistleblowers to understand why some people turn a blind eye.
This. Not just a 'race' issue or a gender issue but a class issue.The young women were regarded as worthless, scum from the estates, by almost everyone who knew what was going on.
Exactly, they loathe/hate/and are prepared to see any injustice done to us as they turn their fucking blind eye that enables their careers to continue and the payments on the house to keep coming.This. Not just a 'race' issue or a gender issue but a class issue.
Yeah, like those white paedo celebrities and cabinet ministers that have been abusing children for decades. It's part of their white culture.it is also clearly a cultural issue too

It was part of their class culture but not a religious or cultural one.Yeah, like those white paedo celebrities and cabinet ministers that have been abusing children for decades. It's part of their white culture.
...It wouldn't stop me. I know that's easy to say from an armchair but i would gladly lose my job and turn into a paranoid curtain twitcher. Some things come from principles and knowing I could not live with myself if I knew that kind of stuff was going on under my nose and I did nothing. Fuck that.

unbelievable numbers. and yes the council has behaved in an unimaginably cowardly fashion, but tbh the fact that even here all that anyone can comment on is the inaction of social services as opposed to the clear, cultural issue with sections of the Pakistani community just falls into exactly the same trap. anyone who's lived or worked anywhere near these areas can testify to the frankly barbaric attitudes which are quite widespread. non-Muslim girls are seen, quite broadly, as subhuman. there is nothing but contempt for values which don't ascribe to a strict religious orthodoxy, which in turn has no particular concern for whatever particular depravity someone might want to engage in so long as it's not turned against one of the 'in' group.
in Rochdale you had hundreds of blokes involved from across the community, respectable Mosque-goers, local businessmen, every generation. i can't imagine it's anything different here. this is different from a paedo-ring, where fuck-ups seek eachother out and make a secret syndicate - this is collaborative activity tolerated across an entire community based upon a backwards cultural dross which has no place in the 21st century.
yes this is about social services and the council and class and everything, but it is also clearly a cultural issue too and that gets ignored at everyone's peril.
the comparison doesn't wash - there is no real white community but there are many Pakistani communities, in a very real sense. they exist, with established hierarchies, organisations and decision making procedures and in many of these mass grooming cases there is a large degree of complicity. if this case is anything like Rochdale (which i can't imagine it not being) it was engaged in by a large section of the entire community with the complicit knowledge of much of the rest, reinforced by a culture which regarded the victims as whores for not being born and brought up a strict Muslim.
There was too much reliance by agencies on traditional community leaders such as elected members and imams as being the primary conduit of communication with the Pakistani-heritage community. The Inquiry spoke to several Pakistani-heritage women who felt disenfranchised by this and thought it was a barrier to people coming forward to talk about CSE. Others believed there was wholesale denial of the problem in the Pakistani-heritage community in the same way that other forms of abuse were ignored. Representatives of women's groups were frustrated that interpretations of the Borough's problems with CSE were often based on an assumption that similar abuse did not take place in their own community and therefore concentrated mainly on young white girls.
Really ? Having lived on a Stepney council estate in which the majority of residents are Bangladeshi for 25 years (and having lived and worked in the area for much longer) this doesn't reflect my experience. I can see a lot of cultural conservatism and a lot of social attitudes I don't much care for myself. However that conservatism doesn't extend to tolerance for sexual abuse - if anything the reverse. And while misogyny underlies a lot of attitudes and behaviours the only differences with attitudes and behaviours in white communities are differences of form not content.anyone who's lived or worked anywhere near these areas can testify to the frankly barbaric attitudes which are quite widespread
it's fairly obvious that you're simply talking bollocks.there is no real white community
Fuck off gabiPublic sector workers in 'couldn't give a flying fuck about doing my job, as long I collect my massively inflated pension' shock.
I've had the misfortune of working for a similar organization, in my dark days. The level of contempt for the people it was supposed to be looking after was mind boggling.
Public sector workers in 'couldn't give a flying fuck about doing my job, as long I collect my massively inflated pension' shock.
Do you get your information from the Daily Mail?
If someone could direct me to my massively inflated pension I'd be thrilled. All I can find is one which means I'd still have to work to supplement it to an amount I could live on.
