Fruktansvärda brittiska skandaler

Jag vet inget land där så många fruktansvärda skandaler avslöjas som i Storbritannien.

Simon Danczuk, som är parlamentsledamot för Labour, har skrivit en bok om en stor sexskandal som handlar om en tidigare prominent politiker. Nu skriver han i Daily Mail om den stora sexskandalen i Rotherham som jag tidigare berört på denna blogg.:

And now in Rotherham, where hundreds and hundreds of girls were abused, we now know it had been going on even longer – for 16 years.

So why does this keep on happening? Why do the police, social services and the child protection agencies repeatedly fail to act on clear evidence that there is abuse going on?

The problems, I very firmly believe, all stem from the top. I believe that all those three agencies are run by a liberal, woolly-minded, middle-class elite who simply cannot conceive of the truly miserable lives that some inner-city children in this country are forced to endure, and who prefer to concentrate on media-friendly ideas such as multiculturalism, diversity and community values – rather than on something as wicked as the rape of a child.

They do not pursue the perpetrators because, blinded by political correctness, they simply do not see the abuse.

Det finns i viss utsträckningen en politisk aspekt på det fruktansvärda som avslöjats.

Sunday Telegraph:

A culture of Left-wing political correctness led politicians and officials to ignore the plight of young girls who were being sexually abused by Asian men, Labour figures have warned.

Ann Cryer, an MP from 1997 until 2010, told The Sunday Telegraph how she had feared being called “racist” when, in 2002, she exposed a sex-abuse scandal involving Pakistani men in her constituency of Keighley, West Yorkshire.

A “politically correct Left just saw it as racism”, she said.
