But Germany was never a strong democracy , it had only become a 'Kingdom/Nation/Country' 70 years previous to that and for most of that time was ruled by a military organisation via an Emperor. The last 15 years were just turmoil.

Hit near the mark did it? It’s your average white knuckle dragger whom I’m more concerned about.

as for social media …people read what they want to read and its clear what you want to read.

Nobody is denying there have been Asian grooming gangs but there are also white grooming 'gangs' too. Who remembers the case in Cornwall where 30 children were abused by white men and a woman?

It went unnoticed for a while because the grooming took the form of the boyfriend using drink and drugs where often the girl refused to give evidence because she still believed her 'boyfriend' loved her despite what had happened.
Social workers and councils found it difficult because the girls were hanging around takeaways therefore vulnerable to taxi drivers.


That's in the past, but let us not pretend it is solely Asians committing this crime. A survey of 19 out of 40 police forces found the perpetrators to be
A previous piece of research from 2015 found that of 1,231 perpetrators of "group and gang-based child sexual exploitation", 42% were white, 14% were defined as Asian or Asian British and 17% black.

Look up how many EDL members have been prosecuted for under age sex.

Superb take down of a right winger’s misleading statistics (or lies as some would say) to reveal the actual truth.

It put’s me in mind of a well respected European country where family is so important.

Italy.

Where it is common place for white, christian households to number over 6. Why? Because the grandparents live with the parents and children, often with a few uncle and aunts thrown in! Nothing to do with having too many children. In Italy currently, not having enough children is a massive issue

Yes. We have to actively train our minds against prejudice.

Many years ago (I'm 66 now) I found an old notebook from school in which I'd written my solutions to England's problems. 'Forcible repatriation of foreigners' was one of my plans. Crikey. I hadn't realized I was once racist.

The fact is I wrote this when I was about 14, and I never spoke to a black Britain till I was 18 and at uni. I wrote down my plan and five minutes later had forgotten it. Never mentioned it again.

And thought my adolescence and early adulthood I thought of myself as left of centre and open minded. Yet it took Ian Wright and his enthusiastic patriotism for me to accept the idea that a black person could be English. Even then, the idea of letting go the belief that 'English' is an ethnicity was a struggle. Now I think the notion is laughable. I'm 'white English' and happy with that, but I don't feel then need to add anything to 'English', really. The 'white' bit is for form filling.

These days, with most of my headline prejudices long abandoned, I find I don't get triggered every time someone who does nor look like me or sound like me or dress like me does something I dislike.

Perhaps one of the last of my prejudices that I am struggling most to overcome is the one against violent white racist thugs. I am struggling to accept that their culture isn't wrong, its just different. I find it challenging to understand that as members of the 'dominant' ethnic group, they are frightened and threatened by different people, and feel the need to burn them out of their places of worship and business. I am concerned that their culture may swamp the UK, making people feel they can go around attacking anything that looks different. Call this a shameful failing on my part.

I suppose all I can do is accept that violent white racist thugs have a right to exist, and as long as they don't start messing with other people, and practicing their violence and racism on other British citizens, then fine. Live and let live.
