Is political correctness making victims of the innocent and venerable in UK? Increasingly right throughout the UK parents concerns growing for the safety of children in a multicultural society as the ignorance of young children being taught to accept multicultural diversity only to be preyed upon by a new set of paedophiles from ethnic minorities! Bold statement to make without fear of being branded a racist or prejudiced in today's society!! usually these kind of comments seen in the media are shouted from groups or organisations such as NNF,BNP,EDL and other groups but increasingly average Jo bloggs or mums like myself are also asking WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON? surely there cant possibly be this much smoke without fire?
Today there has finally been public admittance by a local council that there is a problem and that it has been going on in that local community for a decade.......... on msn UK it was reported .........
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council was responding to a report in The Times which claimed details from 200 restricted-access documents show how police and child protection agencies in the South Yorkshire town have had extensive knowledge of these activities for a decade, yet a string of offences have gone unprosecuted.
The murder of 17-year-old Laura Wilson, from Rotherham, in 2010 also raised questions about the sexual exploitation of teenagers in the town. A judge who jailed her boyfriend Ashtiaq Asghar for the murder said he treated white girls as "sexual targets" and not like human beings.
The Times has now said the documents it obtained showed agencies were aware of extensive and co-ordinated abuse of white girls by some Asian men in Rotherham and detailed a range of offences for which no one has been prosecuted.
The paper said another report, for Rotherham Safeguarding Children Board, said these crimes had "cultural characteristics ... which are locally sensitive in terms of diversity" but added that "it is imperative that suggestions of a wider cultural phenomenon are avoided".......http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/council-tackling-teen-sex-abuse
What isn't stated clearly is how they propose to tackle the problems we have in the UK, how does the average person MOTHER FATHER GRANDPARENT, prevent the same happening to their child without discriminating when we know this is happening in our divided communities?
Police and social services have been accused of fuelling a culture of silence which has allowed hundreds of young white girls to be exploited by Asian men for sex.
Agencies have identified a long-term pattern of offending by gangs of men, predominantly from the British Pakistani community, who have befriended and abused hundreds of vulnerable girls aged 11 to 16.
Experts claim the statistics represent a mere fraction of a 'tidal wave' of offending in counties across the Midlands and the north of England which has been going on for more than a decade
Mohammed Naim Rashid, 21, was jailed for seven years and Abid Hussain Sadique, 21, for four by Leeds Crown Court in November 1997.
There were 20 victims, some as young as 12, who had been groomed for sex by a ring of private-hire drivers. They were abused in a room above the taxi office. APRIL 2006: GANG RAPE IN BLACKPOOL
In a case sparked by the disappearance of Charlene Downes, 14, two illegal immigrants were jailed for the rape of another girl, 16. Puppy Parmar, 31, was sentenced to seven years and three months while Sandeep Chauhan got six years and five months.
Preston Crown Court heard how the girl and a friend were given alcohol at an Indian restaurant before being taken to an attic and assaulted. One victim was abused by four men.
Police have never found any trace of Charlene and two men were acquitted of her murder after a jury failed to reach verdicts.
A police enquiry into grooming of girls as young as 12 eventually led to the conviction of Zulfqar Hussain, 46, and Qaiser Naveed, 32.
They targeted two 14-year-olds in the care of social services, plying them with drink an drugs before having sex with them in a BMW and a flat.
The victims were also offered to brothers, uncles and friends for sex.
Both were jailed for five years and eight months on charges including abduction, sexual activity with a child and supplying drugs
OCTOBER 2007 AND JANUARY 2008: 33 VICTIMS AGED 12 TO 15 IN SHEFFIELD
The city's crown court heard how an enquiry was sparked when a number of girls went missing from home.
One 14-year-old was taken for a car ride before being raped.

The girl was given whisky and possibly sleeping tablets before being raped by Afridi, Syed and Hussain while Arshad took pictures.
She was later found wandering the streets. Raja was jailed for perverting the course of justice.
NOVEMBER 2010: THE DERBY CASE
In one of the most notorious incidents of street grooming to date, nine men were convicted of abusing young girls.
Abid Siddique, 27, Mohammed Liaqat, 28, Mohamed Imran Rehman, 26, Faisal Mehmood, 24, Akshay Kumar, 38, Naweed Liaqat, 33, Farooq Ahmed, 29, Graham Blackham, 26 and Ziafat Yasin, 31, were jailed for their parts in the shocking case.
More than 100 police officers were involved in Operation Retriever, which identified 27 victims, 22 of whom were white.
Siddique and Liaqat targeted their victims on the streets of Derby while driving in a BMW.
They then exchanged number, invited them to parties and fed them drugs and alcohol before handing them to older men for sex.
The abuse, which took place in bushes, cars and houses was filmed for their men to share.
How many more offenders like this exist within our communities and why is our government making them the elite in society, untouchables due to political correctness? Who are the criminals amongst us? the ones doing the crime or the ones who can prevent it but DO NOTHING!

Rochdale council has confirmed it will launch a serious case review into the sexual exploitation of young girls in the
It follows the imprisonment in May of nine men, convicted of grooming girls as young as 13 in Rochdale. The gang bought their victims gifts and plied them with alcohol before forcing them to have sex with multiple men. The high-profile investigation by Greater Manchester police identified more than 40 potential victims.
The review will examine the role played by local agencies and safeguarding professionals, from the experiences of four young people involved, to establish what further lessons can be learn ed to improve the way children are safeguarded in Rochdale.
There will be particular reference to the early help that was available for the young people, how referrals of concern were escalated and how services were accessed.
How many more victims will we see before we can actually have the ability to defend ourselves and children from this senseless silent
abuse of the vunerable in our communities without being criminalised ourselves? How can innocent children be expected to speak out when as adults we don't have that tool to use to defend whats right and just?? Why has this silence of abuse gone on so long and unchallenged ? political correctness gone to far who will answer to this slaying of innocence in the uk???
HUMAN DIGNITY, BASIC NEEDS, FAMILY VALUES, EDUCATION, PRIDE, SELF WORTH AND HOMELESSNESS!!
We are all often too quick when we think of the homeless to stereotype and judge ............ we think of the drunk tramp, the heroin addict or maybe the runaway teen?
............................................. my conclusions after going through archives of information that's available to Jo-public!.. on this particular subject, revealed a very different picture to the stereo typical homeless person that we have become accustomed to picturing in our minds!
the truth of the matter is.................... referring to an older documentary Every day families all across Britain are forced to leave their homes. This emotional film,is a damning indictment of the fate which awaits them. It follows three young girls and their families into the nightmare of homelessness - a frightening and rarely seen world of dingy hotel rooms and temporary accommodation hostels. Part of the BBC's No Home initiative highlighting poverty and homelessness in Britain todayHTTP://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U4jFrKvI1M&feature=related ..........
.it could be you next what will you do to survive??
in previous statistics in less than 10 years England and it children's chances of growing up in poverty increases..........
260.02701 of possession orders made
4000,000 no of days per year missed school hours due to homeless related reasons,
1,247,209,000,000 monies owed by UK population in personal debt,
1,546,954 is the no of families in England on waiting lists for social housing!! 680.412 no of houses standing empty during this period!! 2,300,000 is the number of people trapped in poverty by their housing costs! 730.072 is the amount local authorities spent on temporary accommodation in 1 year! 645 is the average no of days homeless families spend in temporary housing!! It is difficult to believe that in such a together country as the UK even have ANY homeless statistics in the millennium years!
In today's modern Britain the public are crying out for an end to the desperate situations children and families as a whole have been faced with. Either unemployment, alcohol, drug addiction, or rising costs of private renting many families through no fault of their own are set to face hardships that were endured during the past 40's.
are we completely ignorant to the affects this is having on our future generations and the strain on the family unit this whole situation? .................. the figures above show the statistics on previous years but what we don't see is the lasting damage ............ It is almost like a cull of the poorest in communities as families are passed between boroughs. Many families have no choice but to accept their destinies in run down areas of high crime and sometimes worse job opportunities ......... but it seems they do have a choice... accept the life line chance to keep u r family together or face loosing your children the become wards of the state and taken into care or foster placement?
Many families find them selves pushed from bed and breakfasts due to the legislation in government that families cannot spend longer periods than six weeks in any one temporary housing situation so to keep these figures down they merely shuffle the homeless about.......... but even then the above figures prove this isn't a solution but merely a target on paper for local authorities to adhere to regardless of the affect on the families situation.
the effect of this alone is a nightmare the emotional stress on the children is blatant the physical needs and mental stimulation plummet during this time (esp in temporary housing) where their dietary needs too suffer due to little or no facilities to cook or store food and even their basic human rights aren't met! During a risk assessment that the possibilities of harm to children in these situations rocket through the roof!! .....More contact with strangers ......Becoming more reliant on hand outs .......... depression..........stigmatisation ...........lack of sleep..........poorer hygiene facilities........cost of living soars even higher when u have to eat out for a hot meal.........children find the instability's cause further problems.......... not being able to make solid lasting friendships............socialising.........travelling to and from school.......studying in a crowded environment ........the lack of access to a computer or ability to keep books as a homeless child travels light they ofton lack the basics alone.
As i have sought information from all sources regarding the homeless in UK, it sickens me to find the reality is much bigger and damming! than any leading politician dare to admit.
Is this why during the current crisis and we see families torn apart and children becoming orphans and homeless!
WHY is so little being done? When we see the figures above which grow each year! Our government continue to flood the country with immigration telling us (there isn't a problem, that we have the resources the jobs ) Do they really think that the British public are stupid enough to keep on with this culling of the poorest in our communities! While government spend billions each year on foreign aid and illegal wars i ask this question???? Where is the aid for the poverty in UK???
Who does our government and local authorities really represent because the statistics and evidence show that its defiantly not for the British public!!!!
TORTURE, PAIN, SILENCE, ISOLATION, SUFFERING, SECRECY, POWER, INTOLERANCE, LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, UNQUALIFIED STAFF, NO MOTIVATION OR STIMULATION, LACK OF FUNDING. IT ALL ADDS UP TO THE SAME OLD STORIES ECHOED FROM THE ARCHIVES OF OUR CARING PAST= ABUSE NEGLECT AND NO CARE! SINCE THE FILMING OF THIS DOCUMENTARY WE HAVE LEARNED THAT SOME OF THESE PATIENTS WERE PLACED BACK WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND GIVEN SUPPORT TO THE FAMILIES WHICH MAKES ME ASK THE QUESTION .....WHY?
WHY Didn't THE FAMILIES HAVE THIS SUPPORT TO BEGIN WITH???
DIDN'T POLITICIANS SUCH AS ENOCH POWELL STIPULATE THE END TO INSTITUTIONS OF ABUSE,
DIDN'T THE PRIVATISATION OF THATCHERISM FINALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF SYSTEMATIC ABUSE AND NEGLECT IN THE CARING SECTOR?
OBVIOUSLY NOT!
For me personally this particular can of worms was opened a long time ago and the only way to surmise how far we have actually come is to take a brief look back at the horrific conditions the disabled and mentally challenged were subjected to back then when Enoch Powell took a personal interest in the plight of the voiceless society which existed out of public reach sight and sound.
this documentary shows how system abuse was not only encouraged but also praised though medical (experiments,) in many cases were of very little benefit to patients. Many patients also talk about how they had little control of their own destiny, quality of life inside the institutions were nothing to admire. What frightens me further more was the fact that lots of these people suffered minor illness which needed no hospitalisation and they merely had no idea why they were there. When the outside world got to finally see what went on, there was a cry of outrage for change! Which led us to the situation of smaller private run what i refer to as(mini institutions) for the very challenging cases that cannot live independently within their communities.
Going even further back... When we think about the Frankenstein type of barbaric treatment with extreme restraints, both for children elderly and all alike. Those of whom proved most difficult or dangerous, often turned out to be the most disturbed and extreme cases which should have had the most help and attention. Instead during this period were left to rot denied a life even equal to that of an animal!
During the mid-eighteen hundreds, a movement to reform the mental asylums began to permeate throughout society as popular belief began to change about the mentally ill. Those who suffered from madness were no longer suffering because God deemed them ill, but because of a disease of the brain, one that could be studied and eventually cured. Thus, reform began. Patients started being fed well, were given clothing and shoes, and were removed from their chains. Thus, this humanitarian treatment and change in the very perception of mental illness fuelled scientific development.
Before the mid-eighteen hundreds, common belief was that those who suffered from mental illness suffered because they had a "disease of the soul" (Goldberg, 24). Their madness supposedly stemmed from an evil within, and they thus were treated as animals. Patients in these early asylums were kept in cages, given small amounts of often unclean food, had little or no clothing, wore no shoes, and slept in dirt. Because the patients could often live many years in such conditions, the caretakers became more confident that these human beings were in actuality closer to animals and thus deserving of such abuse (Ussher, 65).
How difficult it is to look back at how the weakest members of our society when were systematicaly abused and neglected.
Doomed and stripped of what moral dignity theyd clung on to. The helpless were left locked in silence at the mercy of do gooders and no gooders. After all the unjust theyve suffered you'd think we'd be bending over back wards to put things right!!
From the footage seen in documented films we cannot deny the past yet when faced with their plight today theres a constant reminder of how we are still failing!!!
april last year these headlines read in the guardian april 2011..... (another headline confirming what a mess we really are in)..............
Unison warned that budget cuts would compromise staff and patient safety.
Three patients have died within the last 12 months on the same locked psychiatric ward, following repeated warnings from unions that budget cuts would put staff and patients at risk.
Tower Hamlets Centre for Mental Health is a £35m, purpose-built, 119-bed unit for seriously ill psychiatric patients. The building is only four years old, yet before it was opened Unison warned that the design would require extra nursing staff to ensure safety, as every patient has their own room.
SHAME ON US ALL!!!!!! EVEN WITH STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES WE STILL CANT GET IT RIGHT!!
IS IT SIMPLY THAT WE DONT CARE!!!!!
WHILE WE FILL OUR COUNTRY WITH A SWELLING POPULATION OF FOREIGN INFLUENCE AND ALLOW THE WEAKEST OF OUR SOCIETY TO ROT IN HELL AS FAR AS MOST ARE CONCERNED. I BELIEVE THE UNITED KINGDOM HAS LOST HER WAY WE TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY WHEN THE REAL TRUTH IS IF YOU HAVE NO FAMILY AND ARE UNABLE TO FEND FOR YOURSELF.............THERE IS NO CARE FOR YOU!
CONCLUSION UK DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH!! SHAME ON OUR LEADERS AND LOCAL MPs!! YOU KEEP FAILING TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT ISSUES AND FAIL TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY!
AS THE CARE SYSTEM SLIPS BACKWARD TOWARD THE DARK AGES MORE DISABLED AND MENTALLY CHALLENGED PATIENTS ARE LEFT SUFFERING NEGLECTED, SOME BACK ON STREETS FENDING BEST THEY CAN, IN CONSTANT DANGER AND AT HIGH RISK. WHILE YOU ALL SIT NEXT TO YOUR COSY FIRES IN COMFORT GALORE REMEMBER......... IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE WE ARE THE ONLY VOICES OF THE MUTE, THE EARS OF THE DEAF, THE LEGS OF THE CRIPPLED, THE MINDS OF THE MEDICATED.
Six soldiers killed in Afghanistan explosion: reaction as it happened March 7
From top left: Sergeant Nigel Coupe, Corporal Jake Hartley and Private Anthony Frampton. From bottom left: Private Christopher Kershaw, Private Daniel Wade and Private Daniel Wilford
Reaction to the deaths of six British soldiers who were killed when their armoured vehicle was caught in an explosion in Afghanistan.
As the bodies of the six men killed in the bomb attack on a Warrior armoured vehicle were flown back to Britain, soldiers who had fought alongside them took part in an offencive against insurgents.
Members of 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment were part of a 1,000-strong British force which supported an Afghan-led operation to purge the Taliban heartland around Gereshk over the weekend.
Many were close friends of the men who lost their lives and all were determined to remember their fallen colleagues.
They played a key role in supporting patrols by the Afghan National Civil Order Police as they prevented suspected insurgents fleeing the area.
Days earlier, soldiers from the battalion helped take out a Taliban stronghold and seize weapons and bomb-making equipment in a nearby area.
Both operations took place within 20 miles of the site where an improvised explosive device (IED) killed their fellow soldiers.
Lieutenant Colonel Dan Bradbury, the commanding officer of 1st Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment, said: "Despite the losses the regiment has suffered, it comes as no surprise to me that 3 York's continue to conduct themselves with professionalism on operations.
"It is a real testament to the character of our soldiers that they are determined to carry on the mission and take the fight to insurgents."
This weekend's operation – dubbed Operation Now Roz, or New Day in Dari – saw Afghan troops take the lead with the support of British forces.
They uncovered a haul of weapons including 44 bombs, closed down 18 IED-making factories, and raided a Taliban command compound.
Private Thomas Peebles, 24, from Gateshead, was among those from 3 York's on the operation.
He has been in Helmand for a month after deploying on Valentine's Day.
As he was pictured handing a biscuit to a smiling Afghan child, Pte Peebles said he had not thought twice about going out on the ground.
He said: "Going out on patrol is our job and we are happy to get on with it.
"I saw the boy in a field and I went over to him to say 'hello' in Pashtun.
"A lot of us carry sweets and biscuits to give to locals. He seemed happy and ran back across the field."
Sergeant Nigel Coupe, 33, of 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, and Corporal Jake Hartley, 20, Private Anthony Frampton, 20, Private Christopher Kershaw, 19, Private Daniel Wade, 20, and Private Daniel Wilford, 21, all of 3rd Battalion, the Yorkshire Regiment, were killed on March 6.
The bodies of the soldiers are expected to be flown into RAF Brize Norton.
Yesterday servicemen and women serving on bases across Afghanistan paused to remember the six.
Ceremonies took place at main operating bases to remote camps throughout the day.
After reading yet another headliner at the loss of such brave hero's as printed in the telegraph i was deeply moved and saddened to the pit of my stomach my heart immediately goes out to the families and fellow soldiers still trying to come to terms with the loss of these brave young men.
As i pondered through the mass of news and latest bombardment of scams and tragedy facing the UK in news and latest updates a small blogg caught my attention......... confronted with a blogg made by a very angry parent after receiving a letter from her child's school..............
RE-POSTED FOR A FRIEND.
BREAKING NEWS:
PLEASE LET THIS GO VIRAL;
HELP FOR HEROES ARMBANDS BANNED;
Please help me by publicising this disgusting letter I have received from my son’s school.
He has worn the Help 4 Hero’s armband for over 2 years and has never taken it off. Now his school has written to us telling us the pupils will be banned from wearing them after the Easter break and (only allowed to wear them when they say) this is disgusting and UN-patriotic and should not be allowed especially in a garrison town where soldiers children actually go to this school and the regiment is due to leave for Afghanistan shortly. Please ask your friends and colleagues to contact the school and tell them how they feel. Here is the schools contact details:

The parent was clearly outraged and it reminded me of what impelled me to write my poppy appeal article. (Strolling around my local town talking with the veterans and telling me of the restrictions being placed upon how the poppies were sold and restrictions upon where they were to be worn) That sent me fuelled with a fire in my belly and my sympathies immediately went out to this parent and knew too that her fire had been lit with the letter from the school...... in response to the Lady's fury another reader sent this response.....The message is misleading, and fundamentally misrepresents the school's policy. In fact, the wearing of jewellery of any sort - including armbands - has always been against the school's rules, but the school has decided to relax the rule and ALLOW the wearing of Help for Heroes Armbands until the Easter 2012 school holidays.
16 March 2012
Dear Parent
As you may be aware a number of our local armed forces are due to be deployed on a tour of duty to Afghanistan in the near future. In order to encourage our students to show support for members of our local community we are allowing students to wear one Help for Heroes band (one only) between now and the Easter holidays. As you will appreciate our rules do not allow jewellery of any sort but we are making an exception as a token of support for the sacrifices our armed forces make on our behalf when touring areas of conflict.
After the Easter holidays bands will no longer be allowed so please ensure your child does not wear them and invite sanctions through our consequences system.
In future there may be other ‘windows’ of support which we will always inform you of. Please do encourage your child to support the Help for Heroes fund, it is important that we as a community show our solidarity in this respect.
May I take this opportunity to wish you a restful Easter holidays and I look forward to seeing many of you in the Summer Term. Yours sincerely

My response... who on earth died and made the education board god????????? How dare anybody tell us when and how to honour our fallen hero's!! this is a school in a strong military community where children mourn their dads uncles brothers ! SHAME ON YOU!!! Who has got the right to tell a child not to wear a wrist band to honour the memory of a loved one. Of whom may find comfort with the bands presence as he or she deals with trying to make sense of this crazy world we live in. To be told its over now Easter is gone, remove the band, or be in trouble??? Is there a time period in schools these days for grief and compassion? Or is this just another way of removing any reminder of all the suffering and loss hoping we can continue on pretending every things OK. I urge the school involved to rethink the future of its policies when it comes to the matter of dead and surviving hero's because as hard as u work to remove the coloured straps from the wrists of the children or the poppy from the lapel even.... YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE DEEP SENSE OF LOSS, OR THE LOVE OF A CHILD. ONE DAY, U MAY COME FACE TO FACE WITH A DEEP SET ANGER AND RESENTMENT OF A GENERATION WHO WERE DICTATED TO OPPRESSED BULLIED AND SILENCED ALL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO RESPECT AND CARE?? Help for Heroes is an organisation designed to support wounded servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The purchase of Help for Heroes wristbands and other items raises funds for the charity and the bands are often worn proudly by children and adults as a way of showing support for servicemen and women. Thus, the anger expressed in the protest message seemed extremely justified.
RIP OUR FALLEN SONS BROTHERS MOTHERS SISTERS FATHERS UNCLES AUNTS, WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED AND THE CHILDREN AND GENERATIONS U LEAVE BEHIND WILL NEVER FORGET OR ALLOW YOUR LIVES TO BE LOST IN VAIN FOREVER PROUD WE LIVE FOR YOU LOVE FOR YOU AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OUR FALLEN HERO'S AND HEROIN'S OF GREAT BRITAIN THE UNITED KINGDOM
