It's not about Tommy Robinson Archived Message Posted by SueC on February 12, 2019, 12:10 am, in reply to "How Tommy Robinson tricks his followers using grooming gangs" These grooming gangs did not begin with white working class girls in the decaying cities and towns of northern England in or around 2011 (when 'The Times' discovered the issue) but with girls of Sikh heritage in Birmingham in the 1980's. Victims differ but the perpetrators remain the same - muslim men of Pakistani heritage. The Sikh experience of these gangs has largely been airbrushed from the record, largely, I suspect, because the race card cannot be played so readily against them. The key point here is that these gangs have been operating in the UK for over 30 years and, I'm sorry, but with this history it is impossible to claim that religion and ethnicity plays no part in gang activities. I am no fan of Tommy Robinson - I believe he's a creature of the deep state - but I'd bear the following in mind. The Sikh community turned to vigilantism in the 1980's to protect girls after getting the run-around from the police. Robinson, for all his faults, has not suggested any similar course of action - at least, as far as I know. Incidentally, when the media occasionally reported on the situation in Birmingham in the 1980's, the girls involved were described as being the 'sex slaves' of the gangs. I think this is more accurate description of the degradation visited on the victims than the much more innocuous sounding 'grooming'.
