SO IT’S NOT JUST A LOCAL PROBLEM: BBC: Child sexual exploitation is happening in a “number of towns” in different parts of the country, according to the author of a damning report into abuse in Rotherham. Are the perpetrators all Pakistani Muslims?

On Facebook, Jason van Steenwyk comments: “This doesn’t happen without some serious enabling. I would start rooting out people within the bureaucracy… public employees of whatever ethnicity… for being part of a ring set up to enable this.”

UPDATE: From the comments: ″Her Majesty’s subjects are surely observing that the more bloodthirsty and savage they are, the more respect they’ll be given. I hope Her Majesty’s Government takes a sober look at the incentive structure they’re putting together.” Yeah, I’ve made this point, too.
