News: Confidential documents reveal widespread abuse in South Yorkshire

news genericA newly disclosed batch of formerly confidential documents from the police and social services reveal that South Yorkshire authorities repeatedly failed to prosecute locals involved in the sexual abuse of minors.

According to the documents, authorities were aware for more than a decade of the grooming and exploitation of girls below the age of consent by gangs of Asian men, principally in the Rotherham area, but they did not take action in most cases.

Examples cited included the police response to the discovery of a 13 year old girl, who was found in a house in the middle of the night with a large group of men after neighbours heard screaming, according to a report by ITV News. As the girl had been given vodka, the police arrested her for being drunk and disorderly, but did not take action against the men in the house.

The gangs are believed to have also trafficked victims to associates in other towns and cities, including Manchester, Birmingham, Dover, Bradford and Bristol.

The documents disclosed include a 2010 report from the South Yorkshire Police intelligence bureau. This stated that there was “evidence of a substantial and organised offender network that groom and exploit victims on a worrying scale” and “a significant problem with networks of Asian males exploiting young white females”.

Despite having an awareness of the extent of the problem, South Yorkshire Police had only three officers working on the issue in 2010.

    People assume genocide means executing people, but you can destroy a group without physically murdering them. That’s what we are seeing – see points (b) (c) and (d) below…

    From Article II of the Convention, genocide is ANY of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
    (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
    (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
    (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

    Protecting young White girls from gang rape by non-Whites is now “racist”

    … “Diversity” means “less White people”
    … “Tolerance” means “you must agree that there should be less White people”
    … “We have moved forward as a country” means “the country is less White now”

    This is a program of GENOCIDE (see above)

    Research, statistics and common sense all point to the fact that young boys and girls growing up without fathers to offer moral guidance and emotional stability are all susceptible to mental illness, violence, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, grooming and abuse.

    This cannot be contradicted.

    We have nothing but poor legislation and greedy solicitors to thank for this repulsive state of affairs.

    Add to this the fact that our government is engaged in a what can only be described as class warfare, and immorally seeking to detract/divert attention from its crimes by blaming citizens, and you have social crises big time.

  4. Observer on September 26, 2012 at 9:54 pm

    Good luck with your petition William, but I’m afraid that the public is gradually catching on to the fact that all those organizations you name are complicit.

    When we have: Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White Countries for Everybody, what do we have overtime?

    We have solid Black only and Solid Asian only countries, exclusively for Blacks and Asians, based upon exclusive genetics and culture. Culture is respected and so tolerable to these groups. They do not need to tolerate massive inflows of invaders and made to tolerate foreign cultures.

    We have more and more non-whites in White countries since the right of Whites to exclusive territory is denied them.

    We have fewer and fewer White people.

    When we mix more non-whites and fewer Whites in the same living space, what do we get?

    In time, White extinction. Its called White genocide because this does not happen by chance. It is being forced upon Whites just like a rapist does not take no for an answer.

    How is this not so? How is this not White genocide?

    Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white.

    I have tried several times to complete the petition but each time the copying of the letters at the bottom is not accepted. I desperately want to do something to help these poor girls and to influence the police in charging the perpetrators

  7. Observer on September 27, 2012 at 9:48 am

    I’m not sure what these dodgy comments about race have to do with anything here. However, I will endeavor to say the following. Britain colonized, raped, stole, and slaughtered other peoples around the world, and is still doing it. It only follows, then, that the violence is now coming home.

  8. Jimmy on September 27, 2012 at 6:49 pm

    We are talking about race because these crimes that were ignored where committed by non-White muslim gangs. Like I said people think that protecting White girls from rape is “racist and so ignored the problem, dismissed it, or covered it up.

    You see, Everybody says there is this RACE problem.
    Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries.

    The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and “assimilating” with them.
    Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” with all those non-Whites.

    What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-Blacks were brought into EVERY Black country and ONLY into Black countries?
    How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
    And how long would it take any sane Black man to notice this and what kind of psycho Black man wouldn’t object to this?

    But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the White race, liberals and respectable conservatives will agree that I am a NaziwhowantstocloneHitler

    They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

  9. Observer on September 28, 2012 at 8:04 pm

    There is only a so-called race problem to the extent that you create it. Europeans created it, and it seems by your comments that they are still doing so.

    Don’t blame others for problems you create. If there is anything that is to blame, it is globalization and late capitalism and the foolish right-wing intolerance of difference.

  10. Jimmy on September 28, 2012 at 11:24 pm

    Observer, you’re not taking notice of what I am saying. You’re either side-stepping or dismissing it, or otherwise justifying the anti-White double standard.
    These are all common responses, but do nothing to address where this is heading in the long term – towards making all White majority countries non-White, by design.

    “Don’t blame others for problems you create.”
    - I never created any problems. I never though about race. But I have grown sick of being bombarded with the anti-White propaganda via the media, politicians, “education”, ect.

    “There is only a so-called race problem to the extent that you create it. Europeans created it”
    Like I said, the so-called RACE problem is a White problem and the “solution” is to get rid of White people.

    “the violence is now coming home”
    I thought multiculturalism was supposed to be a good thing? But you say it is bringing violence? Violence against White people, I presume. ?

    I doubt you would insist that Japan becomes non-Japanese, either “because of history”, “for the economy”, globalization, or because “we all bleed red”. ONLY in White countries. Like I said, anti-racist is just a codeword for anti-White.

    Well done for repeating the anti-White talking points. Any more you can think of?

  11. Observer on September 29, 2012 at 4:28 pm

    Jimmy, I think you are on the wrong website, because this is not a thread for EDL fanatics. I’ll tell you what this thread is about. It has more to do with gender warfare than race. The media trash in which you are projecting a kind of anti-white sentiment has more to do with the ongoing persecution of men in general, in the lead-up to (possible) reforms in the family justice system. Like most progress and change, these reforms make a lot of people nervous, especially those with a political or economic interest in keeping things the way they are. There are several groups in bed with the corporatist state who want to see the status quo upheld and fathers shut out of the lives of their children. Hence, all the rhetoric on domestic violence of late, with all of its implications that men are always perpetrators. Such press is very good, especially for law firms, who want to see it easier for women to allege domestic abuse, so that these women have access to legal aid. Because, as you must know, you will not be able to obtain legal aid any longer unless you make such allegations. The current family justice system thrives on perjury, and the more you make it believable that men are sexual predators and control freaks, the easier it is for lawyers to apply for legal aid and continue to milk innocent taxpayers.

    You might say that these changes to the legal aid are of equal benefit to men. You’d be wrong. Even if a dad were so silly as to report that his wife was violent, he would not be taken seriously.

    Finally, don’t you think it sad that there is not more understanding and compassion? Don’t you think the levels of gender, race and class hatred have gotten to a level where ethically minded people should be standing up and objecting? Don’t you think it sad that nobody ever gives a thought to what supposedly turns boys (Muslim, white, Chinese or black) into alleged gang members, sexual predators and control freaks. I would venture that this has to do with a lack of love, money, opportunity, etc. in childhood, and probably the lack of a father for moral guidance and emotional stability. Where is that father? Well, he is probably one among thousands of dads terrorized by mom and turned into a zombie deadbeat by a callous family justice system.

      In reply to all,
      What interests me about these cases is why there was little or no police action. I can’t believe that police officers coming across these crimes would simply have turned a blind eye to criminal behaviour that attracts long terms of imprisonment.
      I would like to know how high up this went, who did know, who ordered little or nothing to be done to apprehend the perpetrators and to put an end to it and most importsnt of all, why not?

    Well, power turns a blind eye to most crime, doesn’t it? It is too busy criminalizing the poor, who are easy targets. Half our leaders and half of the banking sector would be in prison if that were not the case. I suspect that, like all things, answers to your question can be explained by the fact that nobody stood to profit from apprehending the perpetrators. And oh, I’m not a cynic, just a realist.

  13. Mike Wood on November 6, 2012 at 11:28 am

    In the case of the widespread abuse in Wales not only was there little police action, there was evidence of a widespread cover up. A related point was how was Savile (and others) able to gain such un restricted access to institutions supposedly protecting the young and vunerable. It is becoming increasingly apparent that paedophilia was/is ?being undertaken on a colossal scale across the UK under the protection of elements of the political elite and others highly placed. Everyone should be encouraged to sign Willian Cookes e-petition.
