More Savile and Fallout On The Phone-In
I’m getting sick to death with the problems of an eccentric and the troubles he left behind.
Usually, I listen to the phone in on Radio 5. But today, I’ll do my shopping early and have a coffee.
On another subject, my father was abused by the Police in the Battle of Cable Street. Who do I complain to?
Some things are better forgotten. We should pass on after making absolutely sure they won’t happen again!
Exploitation of White Girls “is Asian problem”
The headline of this report comes from a piece from the front page of The Times and is based on quotes from Nazir Afzal, who is the Chief Crown Prosecutor in North West England.
He also says he will not turn a blind eye to crimes in any community.
I totally agree with that last statement and The Times and their reporter Andrew Norfolk is to be congratulated on their coverage of the subject. I suspect that the paper doesn’t go down too well in Pakistani communities.
Government To Ban Forced Marriages
Both The Times and The Guardian are saying that the Government is to ban forced marriage. The report in the latter is here. This is the first paragraph.
PM to announce whether forcing someone to marry should be outlawed amid speculation it could carry jail term.
We should have had this law in place several years ago.
Some might thing that The Times is particularly anti-Muslim today, as in addition, it has a leader very critical of Rotherham Council about covering up a report about the grooming of young girls by men of Pakistani origin and a report about Muslim thuggery in Whitemoor Prison.
I don’t.
All of these abuses must be removed from this country and I support those devout Muslims, who are working to that end.
Baroness Warsi Puts the Boot In!
Baroness Warsi is reported on the BBC as condemning in the strongest terms the child abuse of white girls by a minority of Pakistani men. I am very much behind her views, as child abuse is child abuse no matter who does it. It can never be excused under any circumstances.
I would however question the views of some that should know better, who have done little to follow up complaints or condemn the proven abuse.
Let’s hope too, that Baroness Warsi and others, like Jack Straw and Trevor Phillips, keep the pressure up, as only by a concerted and forceful campaign will we stamp this vile practice out for good.
