"Did political correctness enable the biggest sexual abuse scandal in British history?"
I'm American, so mebbe shouldn't comment. To me, The Woke Religion has brought civilization to a gory end across the pond. No doubt, we're next. That's just me. TY again, Sir.
In Belgium in the 90s, a serial killer by the name of Marc Dutroux was allowed to get away with heinous crimes against young girls by a series of failures of the criminal justice system, police incompetence, and a lack of care. The details of those failures are chilling.
The result of this becoming public was that upwards of 300,000 Belgians marched in protest at the horror of it, and the entire law enforcement system was dismantled and replaced.
By all rights the entire creaking edifice of what we claim are justice, care, and law enforcement systems should have collapsed. That this has not happened is an indictment of both our national character and the stupendous scale of state failure in general that otherwise occupies our minds and attention.
I honestly cannot figure how the British state manages to exist at all at this point.
Of course, the state can never be a real parent. Bureaucrats will never have the deterring effect on a girl's would-be molesters that a group of protective male relatives would have. Europeans' best defence against this sort of thing is to (re-)discover some clannishness of our own.
Nonetheless, the State can be quite assertive when it really wants to be. As Ed has pointed out in the past, if it was gangs of white men raping Asian girls, the authorities would find their inner big strong older brother pretty quickly. (And the media would find their inner "I'm TELLING!" sibling too.)
When the Rotherham story broke, I remember David Aaronovitch saying it happened because a "backwards culture met a deficient one." Which I thought was pretty correct.
Racism is I think now seen as the ultimate evil; it is the primary sin of the devil of the modern world (hitler); it follows then that if racism is the worst sin in the modern belief system, then it is worse than something as awful as child rape.
Well done, Ed. It is to your credit that your article pulls no punches and outlines the depth of the institutional cover-up that has been allowed to prevail for so long. As an example of endemic social failure and degeneration, it's hard to see what compares to this.
"In 2021 the Home Office published new research, with better data from the Child Sexual Abuse data showing that, indeed, 83% of perpetrators were from Muslim backgrounds."
Can someone please share a link to this research, if they have one? (I'm not being an annoying "source???" type person, I just want to read it myself)
An extraordinary article rendering events which I ashamedly was not aware of taking place. When talking about this with some of my more liberal friends, they are likely to want a source for the 83% figure of perpetrators having Muslim background. I’ve been unable to find the Home Security Office article you mentioned. Could someone please link and explain exactly where this statistic can be found?
I wonder very much whether this kind of abuse is still happening to the extent it was.
These scum are not as stupid as you might think, they will evolve and adapt and rather than cars outside schools maybe they operate in less obvious ways. I wonder...
Thanks for joining us in Telford, Ed, and for having the bravery to speak clearly about this issue after so many others have faltered
Thank You.

Theodore Dalrymple wrote about the phenomenon of Muslim men and women they call "white sluts" as far back as 2006. https://www.islamawareness.net/AntiMusWriters/Theodore/theo_article0003.html

Fine article, Ed. I love starting my day really hacked off with the world. Needs to be read though. Will you do one about the baradari system soon?
