Oh hell, here we go again. If I had the sense I was born with I should shut the hell up, or else I shall be accused by someone of not caring when nursery workers abuse 6-year-olds in Tooting & Mitchum or whatever.

But I haven't got the sense I was born with ~~ so

All the nationwide proportionate statisitcs & ratios you all keep producing are accurate & demonstrable. All the other nasty things you adduce as in Jim's last post are true too. But they do not contradict the vital statistic here

~~ that, in a specific area of the country where a particular offence is endemic & epidemic, an inexplicably enormous percentage of those committing it are of a particular demographic.~~

Those so offending are, of course, a small minority of that demographic, who also represent a higher %-ge of the local population thereabout than in other parts of the country {but still under 10%}.

BUT this statistic in itself must surely give concern to anyone but an ostrich: which concern must be multiplied manyfold by the attempts to conceal these facts that were made, in apprehension of the inevitable attempts that would occur to denigrate those compiling them by such as the ostrich-population of this forum; which apprehension is here multifold confirmed.

If you persist in remaining unalarmed by these facts, & that initial reaction to them, then I hope it is comfortable for you with your heads down there in the sand.
