Recently there was released the report by an independent inquiry into the problems with child sexual exploitation in the Shropshire town of Telford. I’m currently reading the original text, which you can find here, but based on what I’ve read so far and what has been reported elsewhere, this report contains details that have all too much in common with similar cases in other parts of the country.

In Telford, as in elsewhere where these truly appalling child rape gangs have been operating, there are the usual problems of councils failing to see, either deliberately or due to incompetence, massive amounts of sometimes blatant child sexual exploitation. There has also been in Telford the abject failure of the police, the one agency that should, due to its enforcement, arrest and investigation powers, have protected those who complained about abuse, but did not.

There was also in Telford, as was also the case with the Rochdale and Rotherham CSE cases, a desire on the part of those in controlling positions in the local authority and the police, to not want to draw attention to the activities of Muslim Pakistani sex criminals. It appears that there were some in authority in Telford who didn’t want to either provoke the Muslims into violence by properly and aggressively investigating alleged sex crimes. As elsewhere in those areas where nothing has been done for decades about Islamic Rape Gangs it appears that local political and policing leaders also feared that doing anything about the criminal element in Telford’s small (2.2% 2011 figures) Muslim population would embolden the far right. I’m afraid that ship has long sailed as the far right was already emboldened by the various councils and police forces deciding to do nothing about organised Islamic majority noncing gangs.

The very act of the authorities doing nothing about these Islamic Rape Gangs and the cover ups and political obfuscations of the activities of these gangs, has in itself been an excellent recruiter for the very far right that the Establishment in these often Labour dominated areas, fear. The authorities in Telford and in many of the other places afflicted by Islamic Rape Gang activity did nothing for decades about a major problem, did virtually nothing to protect those alleging sexual abuse and even tried to cover up or minimise the extent of the Islamic Rape Gang issues.

These authorities where Islamic Rape Gang activity has gone virtually unchecked are often in areas that are covered by police forces that consistently failed to properly investigate complaints of CSE. Too often as a result of various reports in to CSE across the country we’ve seen police forces fail to arrest or charge or even investigate crimes allegedly committed by Muslims even when, in the case of a complainant in Rochdale, the victim went to a police station to make a report about her ordeal at the hands of one of these gangs. The failure over the course of decades by police and local authorities to deal with the problem of Islamic sex crime and instead attempt to bury these problems has, ironically, been a lifeline to rightist ethno-nationalist groups. They can now point at the rape gangs, to the piss poor response to them by the authorities and be able to say to people – we were correct about this Islamic Rape Gang phenomenon, we told about it when your councillors and police were denying that anything was going on. Any growth of the far right in recent years is in my view in large part down to the failure of various local authorities and police forces to properly tackle a problem that should never have been allowed to fester for as long as it has been. They’ve filled a vacuum left by local and national politicians refusing to admit that Britain has an Islamic Rape Gang problem.

The more I dig into this story and the longer that it goes on the more disgust I feel at how the issue of Islamic Rape Gangs in Telford has been managed. Everything in this case points to how those in authority chose to put ideology before humanity. The raped children appeared to become to some in authority just worthless trash, expendable collateral damage. This council’s priority seeming being to protect Muslims and to protect the doctrine of multiculturalism rather than to protect those who both needed and deserved protection from harm. I find it difficult to disagree for example with the statement by Tom Slater, the editor of Spiked Magazine, that the Telford case is an example of the ‘moral depravity of political correctness’. Mr Slater said that there were elements in the local authority that were, between 2006 and 2008 who were very much against the pro-active investigation of Islamic Sex Crime as it would start a ‘race riot’. In other words to avoid the Muslims in the area kicking off violently, the local authority tolerated the intolerable, which is the rape and sexual exploitation of at least 1000 children and young people. This is indeed a depravity.

West Mercia Police has utterly failed the people of Telford. They must have known what was going on, at least to some extent, but did not do enough to protect the very people that the police should have been protecting. Of course the current head of the West Mercia Force made an apology of a type that we’ve become sadly used to when it is revealed that a police force has, yet again, failed to protect victims or potential victims of what has been described as regards to the Telford case, as ‘generational abuse’. In Telford we have been told of young women being sexually exploited by the Islamic Rape Gangs, whose mothers were themselves previously exploited by one of these gangs. From generation to generation, police and council allowed this exploitation to go on and threw children into the fires of abuse as a sacrifice in order to be politically correct, just as ancient pagans in the Middle East threw children into the fires or Moloch to appease and feed a bloodthirsty deity.

Mr Slater in the aforementioned article also illustrated the depth of the failures by West Mercia Police, by reporting that it was found that West Mercia Officers treated teenage and pre-teenage girls caught up in the activities of the Islamic Rape Gangs as ‘common prostitutes’. These girls were arrested as such whilst their adult abusers went free. West Mercia Police join South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Thames Valley police forces in an ignominious list of police forces that failed to protect the innocent whilst letting the guilty, sometimes for reasons of political correctness, walk free.

As someone who lives in the Marcher Lands of England and often sees in my daily life, officers of West Mercia Police, I find myself wondering, when I see them, if this or that officer that I’ve seen was one of those who turned a blind eye to either the rape gangs themselves or to the pleas for help being cried by the victims of these gangs? It’s quite possible that I could be right, any random officer of the West Mercia Police that I or others might see could have been one of those who failed, dismally, to protect those who should have been protected, after all this scandal in Telford has gone on for decades. It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that the inhabitants of the West Mercia Policing area are still being policed, by officers of both senior and relatively junior ranks, who might once, or even more than once, have said ‘fuck off’ to a victim of one of Telford’s Islamic Grooming Gangs in order to have a quiet life for themselves. If it is the case that officers who did nothing to protect or help the victims of CSE in Telford in particular and in West Mercia Police in general are still working in the police and still actively engaged in frontline policing, then I find it difficult to see how those who are being policed by West Mercia could continue to have faith in this force.

The Telford scandal is a tragedy that did not need to have happened. If the local authority had disregarded the ideology of political correctness they would have been able to see that Telford had a problem with Muslims being disproportionately involved in certain sexual crimes, if they had done that and had a functioning moral compass, then they might have been able to do something to stop over a thousand young people and children from being sexually victimised. If the police had decided that they would police equitably and not tip toe around Muslims and their sensitivities then maybe many more sex offenders from the Muslim community would have been caught and other potential sex criminals deterred, for fear of detection, from committing sex crimes.

In Telford, as in all the other places where these monstrous Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs have been discovered to have been operating, the State both local and national as well as its policing arm failed to protect some of the most vulnerable people from violence and harm. A basic duty of the state to protect its citizens or subjects from violent assault and violation was cast aside in favour of keeping local Muslims and their community leaders onside and not rocking the multicultural boat. We should be disgusted and continue to be disgusted by such a failure of basic morality by both police and local authorities when it comes to these grooming gang crimes and the decades long period where they patently ignored what was and sadly is still going on.
