I totally understand the social eth...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />I totally understand the social ethnic dimension you describe; I have been amongst it, worked in it and with it. It is some of these issues that are ignored at everyone's peril; denial of them makes it easy to do so, it gives permission to do exactly that.<br /><br />Diffusing the ignition of power kegs is not, in my view, suppressed by denial; what and whom do you learn to have some faith in our societal structures of law and order. They are not covered in glory with this case, bearing in mind, one brave girl disclosed and her state was rejected as the CPS deemed her an unreliable witness. That gave the forces of law and order and protection permission then, not to pursue the case and the issues it highlighted.<br /><br />Both the judge hearing the case and Martin Neary, NSPCC, had to counter the nonsense being publicly spouted to bring some sense, reality and balance back into this matter. How else can there be a true reckoning the with services that did not examine the issues and deal with them four years ago. Continual public denial by the authorities will cause the very problems they are afraid of, by pitting the frustrations of one community against another.<br /><br />There has to be acceptance of the facts so appropriate moves forward can be devised. The humbug, the distortions, have got to stop. It's a basic behavioural therapy tenet. Let's apply some basic respect and acknowledgement for people here, many of whom are hurt. <br /><br />Many thanks for your thoughtful and perceptive contribution.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-62092862435278752542012-05-11T07:16:10.950+01:002012-05-11T07:16:10.950+01:00You are right of course, ZACL.

I live in a part of town that is 90% muslim, where muslim means the elders (in their 70s, 80s and 90s) are from pakistan, and so are most of the wives, at least those older than 40. Many of those who come from Pakistan speak little or no English because they make no adjustments to British culture. They think of themselves as temporarily exiled. When they go to the doctor orb dentist they may take a grandchild along to provide translation.<br /><br />The young men are looked down upon for openly going out with white girls. The young women are encouraged by parents and teachers to pursue education and careers, but this makes them almost unmarriageable in many families, as the young men want wives like their own mothers - stay-at-homes. So there is a great deal of sexual frustration. Would-be suicide bombers (plotting against airliners) have been traced to this town, a few years ago. Things are handled with kid gloves, I tell you, so as not to ignite powder-kegs. And this cannot of course be spoken about openly. -VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
