Digest #6 - When child abusers have no colour, UK enslaved to US foreign policy (again!), Who protects us from those paid to protect
When child abusers have no colour
The crime is the same, the organised grooming and abuse of under-age girls in a northern city. The experiences of the victims are the same, control and systematic abuse.
What is different between the recent convictions of six members of a Bolton grooming gang and previous cases is the ethnicity. Unlike in previous cases where the crimes were committed by men of Asian origin, the Bolton case involved six white men as English as they come born and bred. Their lineage possibly traced back to Æthelstan the first King of England himself.
What also differed was the reporting , there was no mention of the ethnicity of the criminals, no deep contemplation as to what makes white men groom girls on the streets of Bolton. There will be no protests outside of the local pub (the closet thing to a Mosque , secular Britain has to offer) and no political debates.
The current political dog whistling going on in parliament about a national inquiry into grooming gangs is less about the grooming and more about the politics.
The Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is desperately trying to save her job and appeal to the anti-immigrant mob who would love to link the breakdown of British society to a rubber dingy.
It is true there should be a national inquiry into how a political system that talks about the rights of women and young girls has left them open to abuse by men and women of all colours and races.

Want more proof this is an English (society not ethnicity) problem read about Richard Burrows here. The only thing Pakistani in him is all the curries he probably ate.
UK enslaved to US foreign policy (again!)
The sun never set on the British empire at one time, these weren’t good times (if you weren't British) but the British had some power, albeit the colonialist kill the natives kind. They were genocidal before the term ever existed.
Now the UK is nothing but the lapdog of the Americans, the sun has set, the lights are off and nobodies home.
A day or so after Donald Trump declared a trade agreement with the UK a ‘second priority’ , the UK carried out airstrikes on the Houthis in Yemen (Source). Convenient timing!
The first Keir Starmer knew about the attacks was when he was added to a Signal group along with Donald Duck , Mickey Mouse and US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth.
Who protects us from those paid to protect
You know a society is broken when the ones paid to protect the rest of us are themselves broken. The police force in the UK is systematically racist, there is very little doubt about that. Numerous reports even after McPherson have said so (read here for details).
But surely you would think within institutions such as the prison service things would be different. It is not as if every other week some prison officer or governor is convicted of abusing their office.
This week Uzo Mbonu won an employment tribunal against HMP Swaleside for wrongful dismissal.
He was racially abused for not having a British accent, speaking out against wrong doing and not “getting” English banter. You know the racist kind!
