Hmm. Bucks Free Press.AND that was last Monday the 13th. 'Major' investigation but not considered important enough for national news then?
And low and behold, just up the road across Oxfordshire, the following day 14th, more child sex arrests.
Again, nothing national.
Although the Beeb 'mentioned' it - in their 'local' Oxford news.

It's good to see the police taking allegations of offences that happened between 2000 and 2007 seriously. AND that was last Monday the 13th. 'Major' investigation but not considered important enough for national news then?
And low and behold, just up the road across Oxfordshire, the following day 14th, more child sex arrests.
Again, nothing national.

So every child abuse case should be a national news headline?
It's more newsworthy than most of the stuff they deem important. Right now, a Cathedral roof on fire in a foreign country, a Bollywood star being admitted to hospital, and some dodgy behaviour by the FBI in Portland are considered front-page news on BBC. A Police dawn raid against criminals and gangs operating in cities and market towns are more relevant to us than any of that.Edited by ReallyReallyGood on Saturday 18th July 14:37

Despite the promises, it seems that "lessons" are never learned and it is perfectly acceptable to continue to label anyone who voices concerns as fascist bigot racist nazi, or whatever is currently flavour of the day.
Sacrificing our children on the altar of political correctness, it seems, for many is still preferable to the merest hint of them being called racist.
The BBC at some point in the future, "largely peaceful child abuse".
Sad but not surprising.

The Article said:
The inquiry published all the parts of Ms Oliver’s statement that were relevant...
Whitewash.I have long said that I cannot fathom the sense of having parallel, separate CSA and County Lines teams. Surely, for the vast bulk of the cases, the individuals involved in crime are from the same, broader subset of society - the sort of people happy to deal drugs are also, at best indifferent to abuse of minors and vulnerable victims and at worst complicit in it - and intelligence ought to be pooled.

I saw this,
https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/...
Posted on Facebook by someone who feels very passionately about keeping everyone informed about crimes committed by certain demographics, though strangely silent if anyone of their own background does anything unpleasant.
It annoys me as the subtext is basically "Them, see, I told you, bad lot they are, grrrrr" even without the article mentioning origin.
I think it is very very unhelpful but unfortunately probably accurate, I wanted to put some kind of put down but despite the approach they are more than likely making correct assumptions based on the details as provided. But being racist doesn't help with sorting the issues out, 2 wrongs and that.
2 comments after the initial post,
"Thats superb news and great work from all involved, BUT Why on earth do they release them on bail having allegedly committed horrendous crimes.
I wonder how many of those released flee abroad or get lost amongst there own community "
Second one, a more direct,
"I can probably guess at which race and religion they are . The reality of multiculturalism."
Separating the genuine issue from good old fashioned racism seems difficult for some but why does this keep happening with such tedious regularity, its utterly reprehensible ? Even then its not all men from that background, even if it seems to be disproportionate.
Then you have the polar opposite, get told you are racist for mentioning it at all, nothing to see here, sweep it under the carpet...
I don't associate myself with such posts by replying, easy to write something and be misconstrued, so just come on here to moan at you lot and hopefully get some reasoned replies.
