"Ann Cryer wept when she heard the news last week"

Rotherham report 'reduced me to tears'
The really sad aspect of it is that many of these girls could have been spared.
In 2002, when she was Labour MP for Keighley, Cryer became the first public figure in Britain to talk out about allegations of "young Asian lads" grooming underage white girls in the West Yorkshire town.
This was underage sex. These girls were well below 16. The mothers said, 'We understand it's a criminal offence even if it's consensual', which I said was quite right. And they said to me, 'Why is it that West Yorkshire police won't do anything about it, social services won't do anything about it, when we have given them the names and addresses of the men abusing our daughters?' "
Twelve years on, Cryer described these women as "enlightened mothers, members of the Labour party, women who I would never in a million years have described as racist"...
Cryer is adamant that she can't have been the only politician to have heard such stories. "There must have been councillors and MPs, I think, all over the country who knew what was going on but were terrified. It's a genuine fear, to be terrified of being labelled a racist. No one wants to be called a racist, least of all someone who isn't a racist."
Similar stories emerged after the San Bernardino massacre. People who saw something said nothing.

Why the h*ll is that racist?

These people have lost their minds. And I bet a bunch of those thousands of girls have also -- betrayed by their corrupted civilization. More of which is to come unless the hammer falls.

I know, I know, one of the social workers was sent to "re-education" and sensitivity classes ... The *dad* who beat some offenders up went to prison ... THOSE punishments should have been all over the Guardian and the Mail from DAY ONE.

The London political class should have had to publically explain why reporting the rapes of girls is the crime -- not the rapes themselves, not the vile rapists themselves. I'd have been interested in hearing their "explanations." I'd bet that a few thousand girls or more might have been protected ....

Meanwhile, back in American colleges and universities ....

You wonder why Trump is going to be the Republican nominee?

I see no reason why it couldn't happen here. San Bernardino is an example.

Trump slanders America

"Now Mr. Trump is engaging in the worst form of moral equivalence in the process of defending a tyrant. Rather [than] criticize Mr. Putin, he lavishes praise on him and denigrates America in order to defend Putin."
