The last lot were known about for years, but the police etc were scared to investigate because they were scared of the race card being played

Rotherham has been a political nightmare for years, NB the Star is hardly a competent paper, but note the police comment in the article
Yorkshire Cricket rightly deserves a serious kicking for not bringing itself to order.

Pretty poor all round.

The problems in Rotherham have been around for years, it was common knowledge to me at the age of 16..... thats 34 years ago.

Pretty poor all round. most of the girls targeted were from poor white families. had it been the races that were reversed the Police etc would not be able to act quick enough

Probably because Scotland isn't as important as the UK, Sturgeon isn't as important as Johnson, and the sums of money are tiny when compared with the amounts alternatively trousered or wasted during COVID by the Tories. But yeah, other than that I agree, it should get more coverage, it should get more scrutiny, and if people are found to have done wrong they should be held to account.

Pretty poor all round. most of the girls targeted were from poor white families. had it been the races that were reversed the Police etc would not be able to act quick enough The police did nothing because they were poor white girls. If they had been middle class the response would have been different. But if you are truly suggesting that the police would have cared if they were brown/black girls being targeted you really need to educate yourself better. Their indifference would have been the same, as recent case where they ignored scores of men being attacked until they were more middle class men. The police are "scared of the race card" when it suits them to be "scared of the race card". You can focus on the race card or you can focus on getting the police to be better for us ALL irrespective of class/race.
