Andrew Doyle: The Grooming Gangs Scandal and the Failures of Multiculturalism
🔴 WATCH THE FULL EPISODE: https://ept.ms/3Ni9vf8Show more The UK's grooming gang scandals is a clear example of the failures of multiculturalism, argues Andrew Doyle.
The official Jay Report found an estimated 1,400 children were abused and sexually exploited between 1997 and 2013. Children as young as 11 were trafficked, beaten, and raped by multiple perpetrators, predominantly men of Pakistani heritage. Yet these realities were ignored and covered up for years.
"So great was the fear of being accused of racism, so great was this sense that we have to have community cohesion, that they were willing to allow the mass rape of children to preserve the myth that multiculturalism has been a success. Multiculturalism, wherever it has been applied, has been a failure—a catastrophic failure," Doyle says. Show less
So, I mean, the Jay report found that over, what was it, over 1,200 at least, or over 1,400?
At least, I mean, we're probably talking many more thousands of victims of children sexually assaulted and raped, even in rare cases, murdered.
You know, children who had gone to the authorities, who had parents complain to the police, where figures of authority, social workers, police officers, politicians, deliberately obfuscated or said, you know, we can't look into that because the perpetrators were predominantly Pakistani heritage men.
I don't know where you'd begin with that because that is, well, firstly, it's antithetical to the principles of a liberal democracy.
We live in a society where the law has to be applied to everyone equally.
You don't have a parallel rule of law dependent on ethnic origin.
That's nonsensical.
And also kind of racist.
I mean, if you look at the latest report, the latest review found that the ethnic heritage was TIPXed out in some of the documents.
I don't know if you have TIPEX in America, but it's a, maybe you call it white out.
It's just paste that you put over words to delete them.
And it had been actually erased as though it wasn't a factor.
Well, of course it was a salient factor, not least because, culturally speaking, a lot of these men felt that these white girls and Sikh girls as well were just trash.
And so the rules didn't apply to them.
This is because they'd come from a misogynistic culture.
And that was key.
And they called them white sluts and white girls.
And they were very clear that there was a racial motivation behind a lot of these attacks.
So it's really important.
I mean, the recording and recognizing that the ethnicity and the heritage in that case is important.
Not to say, as I think some people feared, that you are making racist, essentialist statements about any given category of human being, but rather that, because it's a cultural question, not a racial question.
It seems obvious to me.
But yeah, the fact that it was effectively covered up by people in authority, the fact that you had cases such as, was it the Times reporter who reported on the police showing up at a house where there are seven men of Pakistani origin with a naked, drunken, 13-year-old girl, and they arrested the girl because she was drunk and disorderly, and they didn't even question the men.
Any human being would have a few questions for those men, you would have thought.
But so great was the fear of being accused of racism, so great was this sense that we have to have community cohesion, that they were willing to allow the mass rape of children to preserve the myth that multiculturalism has been a success.
Multiculturalism, wherever it has been applied, has been a failure, a catastrophic failure.
I mean, Sweden had the highest level of trust in Europe for a long time.
And then since the migrant crisis, where they had this reckless migration policy, 20% of all Swedish citizens are now not born in Sweden.
That's an unsustainable number.
And there are grenades going off in the streets and there are gunfights.
And, you know, there are, I had a friend of mine, a Swedish comedian, texting me six years ago saying there's bombs going off in my road.
This is happening all the time.
And no one in the media is talking about it.
I mean, Sweden's a very good cautionary tale for everyone else.
