If the Rotherham police, council, and other authorities think that being scared of a bunch of child rapists pulling the race card, what hope have we got for our future?
This is, whether we like it or not PC gone wrong.
Whether you're an English Christian, or a Pakistani Muslim, if you are raping children, your ethnicity, and religion will no, and should not give you a get out of jail free card.
Nor should those who are working within the local authorities be more scared, or less scared by someone's ethnicity, and religion.
If you know that someone is raping children, or in this case, know of a gang who have raped 1,400 children, and do nothing about it, you are as guilty as the men performing the atrocities on these children, and deserve as a bad of a punishment as them.
Labour claims to stand for equality, I'm pretty sure they would have stopped it had it been a group of white English men who were committing these horrendous crimes, so why not show how you believe in equality, and stop it when it's a bunch of perverted Pakistani men?
When people allow these atrocities to be swept under the carpet, it doesn't help the already large prejudice against Pakistani's/ Muslims, creating more victims.
This is Labour largest problem, they don't tackle problems head on, instead they try to save face by sweeping it under the carpet, pretending it isn't happening.
All involved need to be prosecuted equally, as they are all equally guilty of committing, or helped in committing appalling crimes.

Depression
Another sad passing from the entertainment world today. Robin Williams, a great, fantastic, magical actor, comedian, and gentleman.
It is widely known that Robin Williams suffered from depression, alcoholism, and drug abuse, but the sad truth is, he obviously felt as if there was nothing that could save him, and help him.
That's the problem with depression, it overtakes your mind in the most awful way.
Like many others out there I have suffered from depression, and used to drink myself into a stupor. At the age of 17 I could drink 6 cans of 6% cider a night, go to bed at 2am, and wake up for 6am and get to work.
When I look back now, it terrifies me how I never caused an accident on the way to work.
Alcohol, along with the depression overtakes everything, it's like being addicted to cigarettes, you're constantly thinking about when you can have another one.
People often used to say "What about your mum? Your dad? Doesn't it bother you to see them so upset about you?"
Well yes, it does, but doesn't help, instead it fuels the depression, which fuels your need for alcohol to forget about it.
It's a vicious cycle, one that seems to never slow down, just speed up.
I was lucky enough to have my mother beside me, basically kicking me into touch! Sometimes a bit of tough love is what you need. Other times it's just being listened too, some just want to be left alone.
Depression sufferers are often like Robin Williams. Hilarious, none of my friends believed me when I told them how I felt, I was always the happy go lucky friend, the one people turned to for a laugh.
Some of my friends still don't believe me. Which is fine, as I am lucky enough to have gotten over the worst, but it never leaves you, even now I have bouts of feeling down, all my family can do is wait for me to get out of it.
Those who suffer from depression need more support. I didn't know who I could turn to professionally, I know many others also have felt the same.
If there's one thing to come out of Robin Williams' sad passing, I hope it gives hope, and help to those who feel they have no where to go.

Hypocrisy from the Left.... Again!
The horrors that the Palestinian people are going through is unimaginable.
Saturday saw another march, with notable lefties like Owen Jones, and Seamus Milne speaking in 'solidarity' with the Palestinian people.
Not that the march actually helped the people of Palestine in anyway, in fact majority of Palestinians probably didn't even realise there was a march in sunny, safe London.
But what about the Iraqi people, who are being buried alive, decapitated, shot, and starved to death, purely because of their religion.
That's a march I would join, that's a march I would be proud to show some 'solidarity' for the Iraqi people.
Until those who oppose Israel's threat, show their disgust, and organise a march against ISIS too, I will never take them seriously.
When Baroness Warsi resigned because she doesn't think that the Tories are being consistant enough with their anti slogans, I lost all respect for her. Where is her consistancy of disgust at ISIS? Where's her words of comfort for those who are living in the mountains because they are being chased from their homes?
Owen Jones today wrote in his column for the Guardian, that anti-Jewish hatred is on the rise. Well Owen, when you, and others, show your equal disgust at Hamas firing weapons from hospitals, and schools (weapons they aren't trained to use), then maybe the hatred for the Jewish community wouldn't rising as fast.
When you show your equal disgust at ISIS, and go on march showing your solidarity for the Christians who are being buried alive, decapitated, and starved, then maybe the Jewish community wouldn't be being singled out.
Until those who do have the media platform to voice their equal disgust at ISIS, the anti-Semite will only grow.

Ed Miliband: From The Leader Of The Opposition
A lot of those on the left are trying to make out Miliband's stupid, and unfeeling note on his wreath remembering World War One, was not on purpose, and a political issue should not be made of this.
Of course it was not done on purpose, he might be thick, but he's not heartless.
But what if he was our Prime Minister, can you imagine how embarrassing it would be, if you saw that all our Prime Minister, or his team, could be bothered to put on a wreath marking the centenary anniversary of the Great War was : From the Prime Minister
We'd all be ashamed and angry, and quite rightly so.
Ed Miliband, and his team, knew this day was coming, in fact we all knew this day was coming! The excuse that he didn't have time is pathetic and insulting.
Ed needs to get a new team, and start growing a back bone.
It's not exactly a great advert for an up and coming election; "He can't organise a note on a wreath, how on earth will he be able to organise our country?!"Was a tweet I read after they saw his, or his teams, note.
Ed Miliband is becoming a parody, not even a funny one at that.
He needs to stop worrying about his image, and taking selfies with Lily Allen, and Joey Essex, and start concentrating on what matters, and remembering those who died for our liberty is one of them!
