I think teaching mental health awareness and encouraging openness is a good thing, as long as useful coping strategies, resilience and long-term fixes are also discussed. "It's OK to feel crap" needs to be tempered with "but here's how you stop feeling crap forever".

Insert, sorry I can't do links, but Google Lufa farms Montreal.
They build rooftop greenhouses. I met an old mate on the weekend who works for them.
Tell me what you think.

SAGE’s Prof John Edmunds says the new Bristol variant of Covid-19 may be able to reinfect people who’ve already been infected or who’ve been vaccinated. Not the news we wanted.

Grooming Gangs:

https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2021-02-03/debates/65D3BAF4-00FF-42B3-8430-AAF2CCD8826E/GroomingGangs

Full debate in text form

Petition called for a report which came out in December and was extremely poor in refusing to reach any conclusions. Then this debate in Parliament which took place a week ago. So finally it gets debated in parliament after 20 years of knowing that this has been going on disproportionately yet out of fear of causing offence and fear of being perceived as racist, this problem has been swept under the carpet and at times covered up.

Labour MPs label this as a myth (search the document linked above). The same old excuses are given ‘far right group rhetoric’ et cetera.

I think it’s a disgrace, imagine if your daughter was captured and raped only for the rapist to call his friends and family member for dozens of them to turn up and have their way with your daughter also. Then you have members of parliament labelling it as a myth and prioritising concern of racial division over the safety of your children.

No-one is saying that these horrendous crimes are being perpetrated exclusively by one particular ethnic group, there are disgusting people all over the world. However, when a particular community is notably over represented then this needs to be discussed and addressed; not swept under the carpet out of fear of offending people or concerns of looking racist and/or labelled as a myth or far right rhetoric.

It’s ironic that Labour MPs want to bring in race so often in parliament whether it’s Covid-19, police discrimination, economic opportunities & performance, entertainment and overall equality (I think they mean equity rather than equality but that’s another debate for another time) yet when something like this is going on in areas such as Rotherham & Rochdale (among others) at such a disproportionate rate within certain Asian communities; they want to brush it aside and label it as a myth. Funny that, isn’t it?


Very poor from Labour MPs, quite disgusting really.

This should surely be something that we are all united on and I can’t believe that Labour MPs would use words like myth in this topic. This isn’t about racism, it’s about tackling an issue that is completely abhorrent and ruins thousands and thousands of lives.



What do you guys think? Is it time we grew up and had an adult conversation about such things and if not; what should we be doing?

Sorry for the longish post but it’s such a horrific crime, I didn’t want to just write a couple of sentences and Labour’s response is truly staggering.

I think this comes back to that point I made a few days ago of a valid position being undermined because it's been co-opted by thickos and racists. Once EDL and Britain First are the ones banging the drum for this particular cause, it becomes easy to write it off as a racist cause and difficult to argue for it without being tarred with the same brush.

As far as I can tell, the data for this kind of stuff is hard to come by because ethnicity and crime data is not routinely made publically available unless by FOI request. I was able to find a couple of sources from CEOP which seem to indicate that Asian ethnicity was over-represented in Type 1 child abuse cases - that is group activity targetting vulnerable children, where perpetrators are not necessarily life-long paedos but rather opportunists. That's as opposed to Type 2 which is more "stereotypical" lone offender nonces who target younger children.

It's of course a little unsurprising that when you take men from a racist, misogynist, sexually-repressed sub-culture and allow them easy access to not-so-sexually-repressed vulnerable girls, that this kind of stuff can take place.
