Thread Name: BS: Political Correctness goes too far
Subject: RE: BS: Political Correctness goes too far
Lighten up, Lox. My point is simply dedication to accuracy of fact, as I said. I do not read The Times online: I am old-fashioned & read the print edition. The headline on yesterday's was "Revealed conspiracy of silence on UK sex gangs: Most convicted offenders of Pakistani heritage". Today's headline continues the story with reactions of politicians to yesterday's Times revelations; headline: "Calls for action on 'grotesque' sex gangs": and goes on to report reactions of Nick Clegg and Keith Vaz to [& HERE I QUOTE VERBATIM]"the pattern of offending uncovered in The Times, mostly involving British Pakistani men".

These are straight quotes, Lox; you will find them on p1 of yesterday's and today's Times. My point, as I said, was simply to refute your INACCURATE assertion that only The Sun & The Mail had covered this story. As I said, I had NO FURTHER POINT TO MAKE. YOU DON'T HELP YOUR OWN ARGUMENT BY PROTESTING TOO MUCH, YOU KNOW. I daresay you are an intelligent fellow; some people seem to take your asseverations seriously. But you appear to me all too often as one whose motto is "My mind is made up: do not confuse me with facts".
