The Economist came up with a good phrase yesterday - "ethnic misogyny"
They can, fuck the fuck off...they are part of the fucking problem.

Things have normally got to have gone quite mental for a kid to end up secure. Plus fortunately for young people in care they have to do something pretty serious for the police to push for a conviction, rather the issuing them with a caution. (In my very limited experience anyway)
Another factor that is worth exploring, although I am not directly casting aspersions, is the procedure and provenance of the investigation and report itself.
Delving a bit deeper into Jay, although I may be incorrect here, it appears that she is simply a visiting professor who has never held the full title.
A bit odd.
Further, the report itself is largely unsubtantiated in relation to the severity of its accusations.
I do not doubt that this abuse may have occured, however the report when read closely is distinctly lacking in empirical support.
Yeah, it's all hearsay. It is such a relief to hear this. For a horrible moment I thought there was a scandal of child abuse.Ok, looking into the evidence base, it is clear that the report is not well done/effective.
Let me be clear, I do not doubt that this abuse may have occured, however the report when read closely is distinctly lacking in empirical support.
There is very little that would stand up in a court of law. Perhaps there are good reasons for this?
<snip> by contrast, in the Rochdale and Rotheram cases the perpetrators were people who were in no way particularly powerful on a social level yet were surrounded by a general culture which protected their activities. there is not a single other cultural group in the UK where these grooming gangs crop up with such regularity or scale.
Barādarī
or Birādrī (Urdu: برادری) means Brotherhood originating from the Persian word برادر Baradar meaning "Brother". In Pakistan and India it is used to denote a number of social strata among South Asian Muslims. According to author Anatol Lieven, "the most important force in [Pakistani] society" are Baradari, usually far stronger than any competing religious, ethnic, or ideological cause. Parties and political alliances in Pakistan are based on Baradari, not ideology.[1]
Have you read Appendix 2 - the methodology?
Maybe I am used to being a bit more thorough but, given that it is a major inquiry, I am staggered that they took a sample of 19 cases versus a total of 51 cases. Those are not big numbers - get the data.
Yeah, bloody well is. But does it really require the preface of "Oxford-educated entrepreneur..."?It is. That story by Ruzwana Bashir is chilling. I believe her.
They've just got to run away a couple of times from other homes.
That itself is a manifestation of the differing treatments and assumptions that helped this stuff happen.Yeah, bloody well is. But does it really require the preface of "Oxford-educated entrepreneur..."?
In a further blow to the force, the HMIC report highlighted significant under recording of crimes sent to its specialist units by other agencies. “This level of under-recorded crime is a significant cause of concern and is a matter of material and urgent importance, particularly as some of these relate to violence and sexual assault against vulnerable children,” said the report.
It said that the force’s public protection unit – which deals with hate crime, domestic abuse and sex crimes – spent a “great deal of time trying to disprove the word of the victim from the outset, rather than record the crime”.
They can, fuck the fuck off...they are part of the fucking problem.
So those police officers...whole departments that ignored and/or tried to disprove complaints made...they are also part of the Baradari?
...you mean why should they be very publically & determinedly disassociating themselves from the "scum" as much as they can...?
..er....PR...?
...getting your message out to the public directly ?
..."brown people" have just been on the receiving end of about £200m quids worth of free press and tv publicity...none of it very good...
The Indy also have a story suggesting that Blair's government were involved in keeping the lid on child-grooming cases in Rotherham and other places where this stuff was going on.

No doubt it was because he was so upset about it that he had to try and get over it with some retail therapy.Former Foreign Office minister Denis MacShane said he was forced to agree to a "grovelling climb-down" over his remarks because he was warned it risked upsetting community relations.
What part did the baradari play in the police force actively under reporting and trying to disprove complaints then?
Now why would they do that?

Seems like in a way these abused children were victims of Blair's wars
