If they had evidence of wrongdoing they should speak out, if they don't then there's nothing to report.

To the friendly national newspaper..which is ultimately how credibility was given to the allegations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why didn't the large amount of people who knew about this take this easy option.

Doom   10 #1096 Posted September 18, 2014 I don't give a monkey's about what people have to be careful to do. Theyre employed to protect children, if they don't like the heat that might occasionally arise in the kitchen they should confine themselves to the playroom.  So far the Muslim community in Rotherham have accused noone of racism in light of these allegations so there was no evidence to endorse the 'perception' of racism and even if there was so what? If they had evidence of wrongdoing they should speak out, if they don't then there's nothing to report.  It's easy to sit and pass judgement on a computer, without having been in that particular environment at that particular time.  I found myself shaking my head in disbelief that Jimmy Saville had got away with so much for so long without any senior authority figures taking action against him.  I can only assume because of his status people who must have known about his actions, were afraid to speak out and take action. It seems incredible now that so many people who must have known about this were afraid to pursue it further, but I guess that just goes to show what can happen when a particular climate of fear is created.  Regards  Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Especially as no such claims have actually been made.  As I said previously if I came across someone abusing your children, they'd become acquainted with my Doc Martens whatever colour/religion they were, we'd argue the toss later.

Theyre employed to protect children, if they don't like the heat that might occasionally arise in the kitchen they should confine themselves to the playroom.If the PC culture is coming from higher up (as seems the case) and/or the actual working environment then all that would do is ensure a huge turn around in front-line workers. So far the Muslim community in Rotherham have accused noone of racism in light of these allegations so there was no evidence to endorse the 'perception' of racism and even if there was so what? If they had evidence of wrongdoing they should speak out, if they don't then there's nothing to report.I don't think its a Muslim problem per se. It's more to do with the patriarchal culture that certain races have brought with them. With Islam out of the equation I still think this situation had a good chance of happening. As to your point I agree. I don't that any community has prolifically cried racism. So far it seems that only individual perpetrators have used this as a get out of jail card. Cries of racism instead have emanated from white/western guilt and a misplaced* desire to keep minority communities/VOTERS onside.  Fundamentally I think we all agree that the big problem here is that the authorities failed in their duty.   *I say misplaced because I find it incredulous that any community would be upset if these perpetrators had been arrested and sentenced.
