Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last week (or just living in the UK), you know about the sudden earthquake of activity surrounding the Asian Grooming Gangs (Rape Rings) that have been operating in Britain for more than 25 years. Everyone is referring to them as Asian, but that’s a disservice to 47 out of 48 of the countries in Asia because most of these “Asian” rapists are from just one country, Pakistan.

It’s been recently suggested that the total number of victims over that period is more than 250,000. And most of those victims were abused and raped by multiple men, sometimes dozens or more.

There is an element of this story that is possibly even more contemptible than the abuse itself: The government, the media, and the police worked and continue to work together to keep the lid on the crimes, distract from who was committing the crimes, and manipulate........
