With respect, you’re cherry picking. When discussing Denmark’s system, you only spoke about how their government funds housing for migrants to live in Danish areas. We agree that this isn’t feasible or desirable in the UK context. Why? The UK’s net migration figure 1997-2024 is in the...

In theory, that’s how the system works currently. Your visa can be cancelled if you no longer meet the conditions. In practice, this isn’t working as intended because we have issued way more health & social care visas than roles filled. In Denmark, non-Danish citizens are barred from all...

A Danish style approach to immigration, asylum and integration. In short, if you’re a criminal or not an economically productive migrant, deportation. If the HRA and ECHR prevent this, amending/repeal legislation. This stuff is not ‘far right’, not only is it in line with majority public...

Why did the police, local council, social services and schools not do their job properly? You mention underfunding when the report doesn’t mention this and specifically focuses on ethnicity as the motivation for why perpetrators acted as they did and why the authorities did not act in the face...

Frankly, everyone should be jumping on this irrespective of political leanings. The framing of this as a ‘left v right’ issue is plainly stupid. The Ministry of Justice recently released data that showed 26% of sexual assault convictions were foreign born, overrepresented in the statistics...

This is a dishonest take. The report did not find that white grooming gangs were widespread and certainly did not find that the authorities were hesitant to prosecute suspects because there were concerns over being labelled racist and raising community tensions. That means that the authorities...

No one denies that the existence of grooming gangs of other ethnicities. You have one group representing 4% of the population committing 62% of CSE crimes and 64% of all suspects in Rotherham. That’s clearly a problem you cannot ignore or even obfuscate.

That’s a moot point for start because a lot of the recommendations are about closing loopholes and sharing data between agencies. Nonetheless, there are actually 2 recommendations pertaining to ethnic identity. Recommendation 4 is collecting data on suspects and R10 is commissioning research...

Which begs the question why Keir Starmer and top Labour grandees dismissed the issue as ‘far right dog whistling’… Had the government took up a national inquiry from Day 1, they could’ve made the Tories look v silly for not getting a grip on the issue. Yet, the government voted down the motion...

That’s literally the basis of the report… 😂

I’ve made it clear in previous posts that I’m in favour of having a Denmark style policy where all non-UK residents have a public benefit test is just sensible. As a country, we want the best, highest calibre people coming to the country. Anyone who is not self-sufficient or cannot speak...

Yes, the priorities are clear. If the police weren’t afraid of going after ethnic minorities for crimes in the first place, there wouldn’t be a scandal as such. It’s the fact that the authorities knew what was going on but decided not to act and to then deny there was any issues altogether...

Do you have data on numbers and % of criminals deported? As things stand The number of people awaiting deportation has gone up 4.7k in 3 years. It’s an ever growing list which suggests the rules aren’t working as intended. It’s one thing issuing someone with deportation orders, it’s another...

Why bring it up? It hasn’t been brought up in the report. It’s odd that you and Shhmeee talk about ‘inappropriate relationships’ between 16-17 year olds and people in their 20s. Yes, it’s odd but the legal age of consent is 16. The report is talking about specific organised gangs that targeted...

In a nutshell, this is what the scandal actually is. The report hasn’t stated that there was an unwillingness to go after white perpetrators because there is insufficient evidence. The evidence in the case of Pakistani perpetrators, the local authorities just did not want The defensiveness and...

Yes, and what it find about the perpetrators of this? A disproportionate amount of the crimes were committed by non-UK nationals. There was a systematic unwillingness to investigate those crimes due to fears of being labelled racist and/or inflaming community tensions. That second paragraph is...

Reopen cold cases to prosecute more perpetrators. Deport any non-UK born criminals successfully convicted. Investigate the role of Whitehall, local government and police in the scandal. Again, prosecute officials involved, particularly where corruption is involved (i.e. the police). Now I’d...

Agreed and both the Tories and Labour are being punished for it too.

It’s another embarrassing U-turn for the government, but at least he’s done it. Even if that makes him and his cabinet ‘far right’ now! 😂 There’s been that many U-turns by this government already, it’s a worrying trend of bad political judgement.

In the minds of the victims-turned-campaigners, clearly not enough people have gone to jail. There are more pertinent questions actually. First, do you believe the authorities have done enough on this? Second, do you believe there is ethnic/religious dimension to this? Third, do you believe...
