Can you explain your reasoning? Horrible crimes committed by foreign men against native children were covered up for political reasons in the UK. This is common knowledge.

In the case of Rotherham, I believe that most of those committing the crimes were not foreign; most were British born British nationals. Ethnicity is not the same as immigration status.

  • Congratulations, you've corrected us on the usage of the word immigrant. Now can we return to the topic?

    Whilst we're on Rotherham:

    "...by men predominantly of Pakistani heritage" [0]

    Their parents or grandparents were immigrants...

    • Their parents or grandparents didn't commit the crimes, though. We don't usually punish parents for the crime of their adult children.

    • The topic was crimes committed by "foreign men", and your link refers to crimes committed by non-immigrants.

      So it would seem that you're the one straying from the topic.

  • The question is: Would the crimes have been covered up by authorities if the predators were ethnically English and the victims were children of foreigners?
