Rotherham child sex abuse files 'go missing from council archive' [ United Kingdom ]
The Mirror ^ | Oct 13, 2014 | Jack Blanchard

Four years of crucial files on child sex abuse in Rotherham have gone missing from a council archive, it was revealed today.

Professor Alexandra Jay, who wrote the bombshell report revealing 1,400 young girls were abused in the town over 15 years, said minutes from key meetings have disappeared.

Rotherham Council was slammed in her report for ignoring the scandal

...

Prof Jay added that a desire to keep “good relations” with the local Pakistani community and a worry about “reputational risk” for the council also caused officers to turn a blind eye.

...

The council’s new leader, Paul Lakin, admitted the council had been ineffective in the past because it was too dominated by a single party - Labour.

At one stage, he said, more than 60 of the council’s 66 members were all Labour Party councillors.

How about the Pakistanis' need to keep "good relations" with the native English by not raping their children?

England needs a Charles Napier to deal with the Pakistanis as he dealt with the Indian custom of burning a widow on her husband's funeral pyre.

"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

The "Pakistanis" are now English, though the English can never be Pakistani, nor Indian, nor West Indian etc. It's a one way street to hell, and the street leads to America, and its belief in that if you are born here you're American!

Except the rest of the world, except America and Europe won't play the game.

For it will, and has kills off your nation, far better than warfare ever could,

Good God. I hope this is receiving lots of press treatment in the UK. Maybe not, since the UK press is too cowardly to use the word “Muslim” and instead employ “Asian”. This is not a bunch of fanatics in Pakistan raping Christian girls, which is still despicable and evil, but it happened right in the mother country of constitutional freedoms. Britain’s unwritten constitution FAILED to protect its own children. Every last one of the authorities who let this happen should be jailed for child abuse. And this country seriously thinks it should be involved in taming ISIS? How about taming itself!
