The Rotherham child sex abuse scandal [1] that has rocked Britain is the result of half a century of Multiculturalism, moral-relativism and national self-loathing by those driven to guide, protect and improve society. “Rotherham,” dear reader, will for a long time to come be synonymous with the utter, immoral collapse of Radical social engineering. Well, one can only hope.
Brendan O’Neill reports in the Wall Street Journal [2] on the disgustingly complicit, politicised nature of those charged with protecting society’s most vulnerable:
Despite being presented with what [Professor Alexis Jay, author of the recent report for Rotherham Borough Council] calls stark evidence that abuse was taking place, the Rotherham authorities underplayed the seriousness of the problem. The institutions charged by modern society with protecting the vulnerable from the malevolent through their inaction allowed the abuse to continue.
To use “we didn’t know” as a defence would simply now be a lie.
In any criminal investigation, the profile of the accused (or, possibly, guilty) is used for two reasons: (a) find the perpetrator, and (b) spot trends and tendencies, so as to prevent future such crimes. And one adjective sticks out: “Asian.” The BBC, Guardian and London Independent have poisoned language to such a degree that even the most uninformed are pretty sure we’re not talking about Japanese or Koreans or Chinese or Sikhs or Buddhists or Zoroastrians.
As Prof Jay states in her report, which involved a wide range of interviews with authorities within the social and justice systems, this tragedy stayed under the radar for so long because of the race and class of the perpetrators and victims. You see, the vast majority of the abusers were of Pakistani origin; the vast majority of their victims were white and working class. Neither is to be touched with a barge pole by the Radicals.
The term “political correctness” is bandied about – perhaps too much. It’s perhaps worsened by the lack of a clear definition. I define it as “painful truths”: truths, indeed, that are so painful to hear that they must not be spoken. By extension, we can see the Rotherham scandal as not only a truth the radicals fight against hearing. It’s a truth that they played the largest part in creating. A mirror has now been held against their ideology, and they have been found out.
The “Asian” male perpetrators in this scandal were ring-fenced from being held to the same standard as the rest of society (i.e., the bigotry of low expectations); the White underclass were thrown on life’s slag-heap, paid off by welfare cheques, appalling “child-centred” education, and soul-crushing social housing; and the decent, law-abiding minorities whose lot in life is to share their neighbourhoods with gangs and gangsters who are given de facto authority by the Radicals to run their estates as they wish. Or have I missed anything?
The arrogant, self-loathing dream of Multiculturalism is dead. Pity it took hundreds – if not thousands – of forgotten children to pay with their childhoods, and even their lives, for people to realise.
