Ruby - the Guardian writer was shamefully attempting to steer the discussion away from a critique of multiculturalism by, in effect, saying 'abuse of children has always happened'
Muslims make up ~3% of Britain's population. For argument's sake, let's say that half are men of British-Pakistani origin.
So in Rotherham, the overwhelming majority of the criminals came from c.1.5% of the population. The victims were overwhelmingly white girls. It must not be considered taboo to investigate why this is so.
BTW I would make a crap politician.
Your point about multiculturalism being contentious might be the truest thing you've ever said.
