The official response to the Rotherham scandal, as PJW describes, is “insane” indeed. Here’s the situation:

U.K. police were reported, in 2014, to have ignored organized mass sexual abuse of underage British girls by Muslim men, mostly Pakistanis. Instead of cracking down on the perpetrators or addressing police negligence, authorities allegedly sought to suppress the story. Government and media covered this up, allowing the abuse to continue.

Fathers who tried to seek justice were dismissed or even arrested for hate speech. This level of malfeasance demands years-long prison sentences for both the criminals and officials.

Recently, Elon Musk criticized the British authorities for this situation. Now, rather than addressing his concerns or ensuring justice, officials are circling the wagons and doing nothing but accuse Musk of abusive speech.

How the British public can continue to elect these people is truly a mystery.
