""Returning to on-street grooming by groups, we have many hundreds of victims where the perps. are BPs, and so far none where the perps are from any other group.
You would need many thousands of such to make BPs minority offenders.""

I have re-posted this in the forlorn hope that you, Keith, will summon up the energy to READ IT. I am sorry that it is longer than your normal twenty word attention span, but it is pertinent to the discussion.

Your above sentence alone proves that you simply have no idea what you are talking about.

There is no such thing as on street grooming by groups. All on street and off street grooming is by individuals.

Only when the victim has been groomed and is hooked on the individual does the introduction of others to the scene begin, and the end product is the passing over of the victim to a trafficking ring, usually being paid for supplying her for use by the gang.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, this has been going on since long before the first Pakistani got off the boat onto English soil.

It is NOT a new phenomenon, nor is it related to any single culture.

You asked for thousands of others to reduce the "over representation", well they are there.

Eastern European, English, Turkish, Cypriot, Afro Caribbean and many more. Each gang (or group if you prefer) tends to be composed of a single ethnic type as none of the groups trust the others.

You really haven't a clue, have you? You see a ring of criminal gangs, of an ethnic background you distrust, and you are ready and willing to take comments made about this tiny number, and extrapolate from them to encompass their whole culture.

This in spite of the fact that the people who made the comments absolutely do not support that interpretation.
