If you bothered to read the proceeding messages you might understand the context. I used to live in the same town as the other poster with whom I am exchanging comparisons.

If you had read earlier messages from me you would know my business there was a children’s nursery. I have on occasions used my experiences there in comments, just I have done in my previous business, a care home, and my earlier business career in sales and marketing in the food and beverage industry. Nothing unusual in that. We have someone who is a plumber, a departed one a cab driver, an ex teacher and a retired border control officer. All draw on their knowledge to support points.

By the way ethnicity has nothing to do with grooming scandals. It is prejudice at its rawest to suggest otherwise. It is literally pre judging people.

Religious teaching might have something to do with it. Peer influence within groups might too, as might being regarded as unwelcome and being kept isolated and away from better influences.

Not though ethnicity. Judge people by what they do and not on what you think they might do.

It's a crazy coincidence the overwhelming majority of those convicted in the grooming scandal are of pakistani ethnicity.

This is a fact, not an opinion.

Mind boggling statement from you, but hey ho, if that's what you think then more power to you.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Surely denying an obvious commonality is making solving it harder?

These topics are sensitive and I'll admit there is some grey between stereotyping and accepting a commonality, but pretending the link doesn't exist or refusing to acknowledge it is not the solution.

When it was priests and brothers in Ireland, it wasn't helpful to point out 'but it's not all priests'

I do admire your ability to ignore facts when there is a pattern. Look how women are expected to walk behind their men in certain cultures and those same cultures seem to groom young girls. Add to that that most of their victims are from different cultures and the pattern becomes more worrying. Consequently if there appears to be a pattern then it is relevant. But you can look the other way if it suits you.

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Agree with this, the Catholic church issue was global of course so not really ethnically driven.

WE would be the go to on this, the Catholic media tremble at his approach ( in his imagination )

Nonsense. I am just elaborating the reasoning and setting things in their context. I have though known brick walls more mailable than some views found here.

Which is why it is sometimes necessary to accept that some people will never accept an alternative view exists, so need to be allowed to wallow quietly in their little pools of discontent.
