Yes, that is so indeed, Jim; and I did not intend to convey there is no ref to 'pimping'. But I think the word misused in context: the main trend of the thread has been to address those statistics which are the ones on which Straw, Ahmed, Warsi, Alibhai Brown, Hilary ?? et al were commenting, which appeared to show an astounding %age preponderance of British Pakistani men involved in grooming underage girls for sexual exploitation; and to which the application of the word 'pimping' was something of a shorthand catachresis. Did you not find it so in going back over it? It is this which, I believe, inspired Brian May to OP the thread; & certainly which drew the greatest reaction of 'racism' accusations from Lox, Steve, Don T. et al; &, latterly it appeared to me, yourself. Even if that was not your principal point, that nevertheless seems to me to fit in with the flow of the thread.
