    A voice in the wilderness:

    JAN MOIR: Why don’t posturing pop stars ever protest over grooming gangs?

    The awards season is over, which should mean a welcome respite from celebrities lecturing us on our bad attitudes towards the environment, gender politics, sexual harassment, #MeToo and #MooToo — the oppression of defenceless cows for their milk, as highlighted by Joaquin Phoenix in his Oscar acceptance speech.

    Have I skimmed, have I missed something?

    Oh yes, racism. We are all racist now, apparently.

    At the Brit Awards this week, award-winning rapper Dave accused Boris Johnson of being a racist.

    His argument? ‘It is racist, whether or not it feels racist, the truth is our Prime Minister’s a real racist,’ he rapped. And it must be tru cuz he said it.

    It’s so exhausting, isn’t it, being guilty of everything all the time?

    Being such a perma-disappointment to the woke generation with their burnished morals and burning zeal to expose any instance of modern oppression and right every historical wrong in the dankest corners of society.

    Yet there is one area of widespread persecution and criminality in the UK on which they all remain silent — the abuse of white working-class girls by Asian grooming gangs.

    Over recent years, hundreds of vulnerable girls have been traumatised, broken, abused, raped, left unable to get on with their lives — but no high-profile crusader speaks for them, do they?

    No actor dedicates his or her trophy to them, no duchess pops a concerned head over the parapet of their anguish.

    No one is starting a hashtag or opening a pop-up shop or pleading for justice for them.

    In fact, few celebrities have anything of note to say on the subject, even though this week saw more convictions of Asian men of mainly Pakistani descent for what have become known as grooming gang offences.

    Usman Ali, Banaras Hussain, Abdul Majid, Gul Riaz and two other men were jailed for a total of 55 years for what the judge called ‘vile and wicked’ repeated sexual assault and the multiple rape of two under-aged white girls.

    These offences took place in Huddersfield, but we have been here before — in Rochdale, Bradford, Rotherham, Oldham, Halifax, Nottingham, Telford, Newcastle, Derby, Bristol, Birmingham, Peterborough and elsewhere.

    It is a contagion, a disgrace — yet don’t expect the ongoing trauma suffered by these girls to get a mention when there are far more fashionable causes to get angry about.

    Such as the transgender social justice initiative currently tearing the Labour Party apart or the continued insistence by some that the Grenfell tragedy is a race issue.

    If you really want a race issue, consider a report published last month into a grooming scandal in Manchester, which concluded that 57 young girls were thought to have been exploited by up to 100 Asian members of a gang, despite the fact police and social workers knew what was happening.

    Or note that in Oxford this month, three Asian men were jailed for a total of 49 years for raping and sexually abusing a schoolgirl, the third trial in a series of linked cases going back years.

    Naim Khan, Mohammed Nazir and Raheem Ahmed — all in their 40s — were found guilty of 35 offences against the girl when she was aged between 13 and 15.

    ‘My life has been destroyed,’ she said in her victim statement. In many of these cases, the victims were not believed at first, only to be later left with shattered lives freighted with eating disorders, depression, PTSD and drug dependence.

    It is not helpful, some say, to think of this national scandal in terms of race because white men are abusers, too. Indeed they are, but on this scale? Operating with such impunity in so many cities?

    We all know what we can see, which is that these girls and their families have been let down and that there is still little evidence of efforts in British Pakistani communities to confront the problem.

    Beeb R4 news at 6 am has an audio for us to kick off with: shouts of “Nazis out!” in Hanau. Probably Antifa, Merkel’s shock troops. They’ll burn, smash and intimidate as required.
    Radio 4 has reports on the daily press in the UK, that has found the Hanau killer not to be a nutter, which -if you look at his actions- he clearly was.
    No, he was ‘extreme right’. Good chance to get at the AfD and discredit it. Maybe -the CDU thinks- it can use this tragedy to recover some votes from its once (and still) conservative voters base.
    Big ask, as Germany slides ever deeper into Socialism. Merkel would like a rerun of the Presidential win in Thuringia, in the hope Re-Red-Green can be installed. The fist Red being the ‘Linke’, successor to the East German SED. The second being the socialist SPD, shadow of its former self. The Greens becoming powerful in Germany.
    Merkel hoping they will become her new partners. They are the ‘watermelon party’, green on the outside, red on the inside. That will suit Merkel down to the ground.
    Gavin Lee, of R4, reports the Hanau killer has ‘mental health issues’. The Federal Prosecutor says he is ‘far-right’.
    This is the same prosecutor who has failed to do anything about all Merkel’s breeches of the Law. Zero credibility, mate.
    Same as the bbc.

      Ms Brand was cleared of any breach of BBC rules with her comment on milkshake versus acid – and still makes a living from appearing on BBC programmes .

      So when she plants the seed of throwing liquid over people – in this case – chocolate over a BBC reporter – should anyone be surprised ?

      It would be good if such a desperate act of protest might give BBC staff pause for thought in the strength of feeling which has grown because of their propaganda but I think they are beyond that now. It was a bad thing to have done .

    Toady watch

    The reviewer of terrorism is having a chat with Meeshall happily discussing the banning of online chat site because of ‘extremism ‘ and said chat sites should be treated similarly to ‘terrorist groups ‘ which can be banned .

    The emphasis was on “far Right” terrorism and as usual the real threat – Islamic terrorism wasn’t refered too .

    The chat all stemmed to the loon in German who killed 9 Turks, his mum and himself , a couple of days ago . I’m not sure that someone murdering his mum is a sign of Far Right Extremism. Anything happens anywhere – let’s ban something says BBC .

    The day will come , therefore, when people who disagree with a government view – will be declared as ‘extremist ‘ and effectively banned from sharing or discussing their views on the internet .

    The insanity of German mass murderers with a Hitler complex was given a frei pass .

    Mishal -being a Muslim – should know a bit better about the likelihood of being able to ‘deradicalise’ Muslim terrorists who are trained to deceive kafirs in order to go and kill non believers .

      News sniffer is obviously spreading false news and should be banned as a suspected terrorist site – just to be on the safe side you understand – and they need to ‘check the thinking ‘ of anyone involved .

      Seriously – the edit might not look much to many people – but what is shows is how the ‘subtle ‘ use of certain words – or indeed their omission – is used by the BBC to support the ‘whitee is bad ‘ narrative .

      As I write Toady is in a happy place talking to an imported Kurd in Germany who wants to end populism and nationalism – let’s hope the SNP is listening as in thar context they’d be banned .

      I often think the BBC thinks America is part of the UK . Contrast the ‘every breath ‘ President Trump takes being reported versus the non reporting of weekly disorder in France – which in BBC World is meant to be our lovely European best friend . The same – strangely with the Leo Varadka character who apparently is no longer the Irish PM .
      No reporting on that – maybe it’s just a small country ….

        Europe has only existed for the BBC as a travel destination and an anonymous source of crticism of the UK government – “The EU says, thinks, believes, etc.” – a criticism that is never challenged.

        As you say, the BBC acts as if the USA is part of the UK and they too should act as the BBC thinks. This gives the false impression that the USA in turn cares what the UK thinks.

        Some years ago I visited a ‘facility’ part-owned by the UK in the USA, both countries flags flew side-by-side at the gate. Signing-in at the gatehouse and showing my passport I was asked, “The UK, is that near France?”

    I was studying the progress of today’s Toady and confirmed in my own mind that the delivery over the airwaves trips seamlessly and professionally, from one biased news item to the next. Interviewees? Well, all must be a member(s) of the liberal/Marxist persuasion.
    It is really quite staggering how the BBC goes about its portrayal of news features. But anyone with a keen mind should detect the conflicts and bias pretty well in an instant. Take an item earlier. A recent attack by an ‘extreme right wing’ terrorist. Or, is it a person with, ‘mental health issues’? The MSM cannot be sure. Anyway, I digress. As GW reports above, the resident full time female muslim (hijabless) interviews one of her kind for an opinion: The iman of a mosque, Finsbury Park I believe. The incident prompting the BBC’s distorted interest resulted in no injuries. However the iman concludes that all muslims are living in fear of death or injury in the UK. So for balance, our, ‘Worlds Most Trusted’, ask the iman, ‘how do you reconcile this incident with the 1044 killed and 733 injured over 148 attacks carried out by muslims worldwide in January of this year alone?’ (https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=2020)
    The iman was speechless, not expecting this sort of question from the dishonest BBC.
    Sorry for the latter fictional scenario which, simply, ain’t never going to happen. For ‘balanced reporting’ you understand.

    A muslim followed my niece home yesterday after trying to get her to climb into his car.
    She had the presence of mind to take his car registration and call the police.
    As of about two hours ago, the police have not been to speak to her.
    Quite naturally she is now very nervous about walking home alone after school ( she’s a newly graduated teacher).
    This muslim behaviour is everywhere not just in the towns and cities that are in the paper. And it won’t stop until these animals are stopped. Deportation is the least messy solution to this matter in my opinion.

    The leader of far-right political group Britain First has been charged with an offence under the Terrorism Act after refusing to give police access to his phone.

    Paul Golding, 38, was stopped at Heathrow Airport in October on his way back from a trip to the Russian Parliament in Moscow by officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command.
    He refused to give the pin codes for a number of his electronic devices.
    Golding was later charged with refusing to comply with a duty under Schedule 7 of the act.
