I am often accused of living in a "in a filtered white wealthy area of the country" to quote the most recent example.

Now it is true that we don't appear to have as high a level of immigration from Asia as some other regions but we still have a lot of new comers, particularly from Eastern Europe. They just aren't as obvious.

We are also hardly "wealthy". Only this week this article was published which highlighted some of the problems and why, in the effort of revitalise the old industrial north, places like Cornwall must not be forgotten. This is a low wage economy with many areas of deprivation producing their own challenges. It isn't all cream teas and surfing.

Child marriage is an awful thing. Give thanks it isn't permitted here and that we, and the rest of the western world, is trying hard to educate those who still permit it. Some developing countries have a lot of catching up to do.

None of that though has anything at all to do with how we respond to the grooming gang issue. It might well be, and almost certainly is, a factor in the minds of those criminals who commit the crimes. They though ARE committing the crimes here in the UK where our system of justice applies. That demands that whilst such things are criminal, those who commit them are as entitled to be treated in exactly the same way as everybody else.

You (and the Sun, Express Mail etc) might want to classify people as Asian, pakistani or Muslim but the law does not allow that. They are either criminals or innocent men. You cannot be found guilty of being Asian, pakistani or Muslim. You can only be found guilty of a crime.

Unless I was faced with the precise circumstances I don't know exactly how I would respond but it certainly would not involve any kind of physical retribution.

I would concentrate on my daughter if she had been traumatised. Only when she was secure would I make a complaint and request those responsible to either detain the alleged abuser or call the Police.

Confrontations and outbursts inevitably make things worse. Staying in control and thinking before taking action almost always achieves a better outcome.

In "Robinson's" case he ended up being arrested himself and then showed surprise at being so. They way he responded made that inevitable.

and the perpetrator is away in the wind...did he get arrested( on suspicion at least)??? You know as well as we do that nothing will happen to the perpetrator, because they have TR and in the minds of the police thats what matters

I think your missing the point. You basically want to just arrest people after the event while most people see a problem and want to deal with it a source.

Why would we continue importing a group of people when they have prooved in large percentages to be a problem to Britain and young girls in particular?

If someone had groped my daughter I would have done precisely what Robinson did and so would any self respecting male who wasn't an utter wimp.
