MICHAEL....Thank you for trying to bring Lox up to speed, I suppose he finds it hard to actually read the papers through the froth.

You are quite correct
The Times Jan 5....Full front page.
                   Leader editorial, 4 full pages inside.

The Times Jan 6....Half front page.
                   2 Pages inside.

I read neither the Sun nor the Daily Mail.

"A culture of silence, which has facilitated the sexual exploitation of hundreds of young British girls, is exposed in todays Times.
On street grooming has led to criminal convictions for 56 men in 17 court cases, in towns across the North of England.
The Times investigation has found that the victims were young white girls aged from 11 to 16.
Of the 56 convictions, 3 were white men and 53 were Pakistani, of that 53, 50 were Muslim.

A senior West Mercia police officer has told the Times, that those convicted represent only a small proportion of what is described as "a tidal wave" of offending, which has been uncovered in the North of England.

Other Police sources have called for an end to the damaging taboo surrounding gang led on street grooming, which they blame on the fear by police and child protection workers, of being branded "racist"
"To stop this sort of crime,you need to start talking about it, but everyone has been too scared to expose the ethnicity factor.
No one wants to stand up and say that in some parts of the country, Pakistanis are recruiting young white girls and passing them round their relatives for sex, but we need to stop worrying about the racial complication"

In the Netherlands, 1500 young Dutch girls have been sexually exploited by Morrocan and Turkish muslims in the same pattern as is occuring in the UK, the girls being typically 12 to 16 years of age. they are groomed then used as sex objects by male muslims and their relatives.
