It is inevitable that, being who I am, this blog will contain a fair bit of comment on legal matters, including those cases which come before me in court. However, it is not restricted to such and may at times stray ‘off-topic’ and into whatever area interests me at the time.

All comments are moderated but sensible and relevant ones, even critical ones, are welcome; trolling and abuse is not and will be blocked.

Any actual case that I have been involved in, and upon which I may comment, will be altered in such a way as to make it completely unidentifiable.

Sexual Abuse in Rochdale

Another gang of African and Asian men has been jailed for raping and sexually abusing a 15 year old white girl in Rochdale.

A Safeguarding Children Board found that Social Workers deemed such girls had consented to such abuse, despite the fact that an under 16 year old is legally unable to consent to sex, and Rochdale MP Mr Simon Danczuk accused Greater Manchester Police of ignoring sexual abuse against poor white girls. The girl in this particular case had complained to police in 2008, but no action was taken and the abuse went on for another four years.

Despite this, in a breathtaking example of denial, the Greater Manchester Chief Constable refused to accept what seems abundantly clear, that such abuse, by Asian and African men, is race related when he reportedly said:

"I think there is a real danger that if we try to see this as a racial issue, which we don't believe it was, it then means that society is not confronting some of these really difficult issues"

I don't know about 'society' but from his words it would seem that it is the Chief Constable who is not confronting these 'really difficult' issues'.
