- The feeling
remains that these child-rape crimes are still passed over or covered
up. An independent official inquiry found failures at every level of the
institutions of state. Crimes of this nature are still being kicked
under the carpet -- for reasons of "political correctness" --
with no concern for harm done to the children. The issue is a true tinderbox.
- Last week, the
local council in Rotherham moved to ban anti-child grooming marches. But
by even thinking of banning these marches, the members of the Rotherham
council are making ones of the greatest mistakes imaginable. People will
assume there is something even worse going on.
- A town whose
authorities allowed child-rape to go on for a decade, but which now bans
marches objecting to child-rape, is setting up a whole new narrative of
victimhood from which no good can possibly come. Howls of rage --
especially such howls -- must be protected speech, especially when they
have a basis in fact.

There are some decisions so stupid that a person who lacked restraint
might howl. One such case arose last week in the Britain.
For years, the issue of the "grooming" of young girls by
Muslim men, mainly of Pakistani origin, has been a subterranean issue in Britain.
Reports of such trends have circulated for most of the last fifteen years.
They have been treated not just with fear but with dread.
