More problem in Rotherham but this time committed by a different group, when will it end, and are our police now so overstretched by such things, that they tend to close a blind eye?

still breaking the law in this country though. if it is their (roma) practice maybe best stay where it is legal ?

everyone says how wonderful multiculturalism is.

and then they get all uppity when incomers start importing culture that's not politically correct.

you can't have your cake and eat it guys.

Romany people and Romanians are not the same thing. It is not really news that Romany people marry young.

It is not news that there are Romanian immigrants in the UK.

The important facts of how many Romanys there are here and how many of those have married underage is not stated, pissibly because no on knows.

I suspect we are talking about a tiny number of offences, so our police shouldn't be overstetch or need to turn a blind eye.

It is stated how many Roma immigrants are believed to be here.

*** It is believed there are currently more than 200,000 Roma immigrants in Britain. ***

It's not news, it's not news?????????????

If it was left to you all newspapers would be mainly blank pages, and the News Section of AnswerBank void of any news except Gromit's.

As long as Racism is the trump card, we will have issues like this. Anyone who worked in the Public Sector during the last 25-25 years will know that the very mention of that word was enough, the threat of being "branded" a racist was at the bottom of many problems. As a Head of Mathematics in a High school, I asked that we had supply teachers with a decent command of English and I was up before the kangaroo court. Notwithstanding the home grown abusers, there are many people now living here whose general attitude to life is so different from ours regarding the female population. Rotherham may have ignored the evidence but would they have been allowed to investigate without being labelled racists? Don't forget, every organisation was labelled "institutionally racist" after the Lawrence murder and that became a get-out-of-jail-free card to be waved whenever they challenged the "Community".

That is almost certainly not true. The number of Romanians is less than that, and as I said first post, Romany and Romanians are not the same thing.

This bears that figure out.
