I try to avoid commenting on political threads on here but oh well....
So instead of sympathy for the victims of this horrendous crime, yet again NSC turns this into a race issue.
The men who did this are scum regardless of their race, and I hardly think it even matters in this case- apart from the statement from the council workers fearing they would be labelled as racist.
The kind of small minded, 'us and them' fearmongering I've read so far on this thread is music to the ears of parties like UKIP and the BNP who can use it to their advantage to perpetuate the myth of the foreign 'bogeyman'.
Would there have been riots if this had been a 'white' paedophile ring? I very much doubt it. Although the crimes described in the report plumb new depths of depravity, there have been similar cases in the past where the perpetrators have been white and I don't recall seeing any riots. IMO the issue here is the failings of the authorities, not the race of the criminals, which I doubt matters one bit to the victims.
