Rotherham, rape, and me
Here are all my blog posts mentioning the Rotherham statutory rape report.
I started writing about Britain’s statutory gang rape crisis in 2013. Then the Rotherham report in 2014 made it sound less like I was suffering lunatic paranoid delusions.
At first in 2014, though, I’d never heard of Rotherham, and assumed my correspondents telling me about the Rotherham report were confusing it with Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
But eventually I wised up.
So I mentioned Rotherham a lot after that.
Here are my blog posts about Rotherham:

... Images[/caption] Back before the Rotherham Report came out, I pointed...
The level of official delusion on the subject of Muslim immigration to various European countries is truly staggering. The only way to reverse it would be mass repatriation as well as significantly harsher criminal penalties, but just as in the US, the powers that be a) lack the guts and b) have enough institutional power to ignore what the people want.
The left in the West seems to think the passage of time inevitably results in a better society (ie, the arc of history is long but bends towards justice), but the chain of decisions made over the last 50 years means best case we will have highly fractured societies in which the historic peoples try to physically and culturally insulate themselves while upholding a system that gives the problematic arrivals significant political power. The only off-ramp is a serious and what would be viewed as barbaric/anti-liberal programme to alter the current demographic mix by expelling as many non-natives as possible. I doubt the will exists for this.
Although the Taki-Mag article of June 2013 did refer to the core of the matter, it did not include the word "Rotherham." There are no mentions of the word "Rotherham" by either you any blog-commenters, until the big story broke in late-August 2014.
The earliest use of the (related) phrase "grooming gangs" at the iSteve-blog was in June 2012, by Simon in London. Reposting here what he wrote at the time:
________
https://isteve.blogspot.com/2012/06/horace-mann-school-pedophilia-or.html
"[T]he Pakistani gangs preying on 15 year old white English underclass girls are routinely called paedophiles in the British media, whereas their attraction is clearly to exploitable post-pubescents who would be of marriageable age in traditional Pakistani culture. The Pakistanis clearly do not consider themselves pedophiles and show no sign of being attracted to pre-pubescents."
"It does make me angry, but primarily at the white ruling class who created this situation by destroying the white working class and importing alien and hostile cultures. The Pakistanis' behaviour remind me of the 'frog & the scorpion' tale – they are behaving 'naturally', according to their own lights – leaving aside possible murders reported by eg the BNP that have not made the mainstream media"
"I said upthread that Pakistani gang murders of white girls were not reported in the UK media – but this is in today's Daily Mail – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2155823/Social-workers-hid-fact-knew-teenage-mother-risk-sex-grooming-gangs-SIX-YEARS-brutally-murdered.html
(end quote from Simon in London, 2012)
____________
That June 2012 'Daily Mail' article featured the core of the later "Rotherham" story (i.e., "grooming gang"; i.e., anti-White sexual exploitation story). As of the mid-late 2000s, I believe the BNP was making it a central issue but no one else wanted to touch it.
The June 2012 Daily Mail story reads in part:
"Laura Wilson, 17, from Rotherham had been groomed for sex [since age 13] by a string of British Pakistani men..." and was murdered in 2010.
So we have the sotry, somewhere out there, in 2012: anti-White immigrant sex-crimes, and we have Rotherham, England. But it would take more than two more years to get more attention to a known problem, before anyone was willing to pull the trigger on an allegation of a large-scale RACIAL problem.
The authority that finally publicized it was someone against sex-crimes within the Town of Rotherham government. It was only their official report that gave cover to media-outlets willing to cover a (basically) known problem.
The 2014 report said the Muslim rape-gangs targeting vulnerable White girls had been active already by the late 1990s in a systematic way in the Town of Rotherham. It can't have been a tightly guarded secret for too long once it began. I suppose that when the BNP near its height in the 2000s began pushing the matter, that mainstream opinion treated the BNP as either insane fabricators or near-fabricators (i.e., taking a small thing, a few isolated cases, and inflating them to enormous scale unfairly), racial-demagogues who wanted Muslims out of Britain. But it's funny who turned out being right and who wrong.
One question that remains: Why 2014? Why not earlier, in 2004? Or 2009? Or later, in 2019?
