Whataboutism, and squeals of racism has left the luvvies with decades of blood on their hands and thousands of victims on their conscience..if they had one. What did any of the groups that tried to block it do to help the victims once the programme was aired? Mon 9 Aug 2004 This month, Channel 4 will finally screen Edge of the City, its controversial documentary depicting the bleak realities of life in the most deprived parts of Bradford. The film was originally due to go out in May, but hours before transmission it was pulled from the schedules. The explosive grooming story nearly didn't make the shortlist. Hall had already filmed several other stories through the children's department which she was unable to screen for legal reasons. "We weren't looking for this issue," she says. "It just kept surfacing. Social workers said, 'You can't do that story because it's too difficult.' What did they mean by 'too difficult'? Too racially sensitive?" The social workers she spoke to were appalled and frustrated, but also frightened of becoming targets of violence if they spoke out publicly, as were the mothers she spoke to. What emerges from these women's account, and from the testimony of two girls, one of them currently being groomed, is disturbing. Men from Bradford's Asian community, they claim, are targeting girls from 11 or 12 years up, taking them out in their cars, and giving them alcohol and gifts. The girls are flattered into believing that the men love them. Subsequently, they might be given heroin and crack cocaine and date-rape drugs, raped vaginally and anally, and in some cases, abducted and gang-raped. Groups such as Unite Against Fascism, the 1990 Trust, and the National Assembly Against Racism began to flood Channel 4 with requests to delay transmission. The Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, Colin Cramphorn, joined the call, and Channel 4 complied. Both the police and Channel 4 stressed that the issue was the timing, so close to local and European elections. The mainstream press were quick to respond, accusing Channel 4 variously of naive scheduling, of handing a political coup to the BNP, of being politically motivated in withdrawing the film, of cravenness, and of self-censorship. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/aug/09/channel4.otherparties
I was in Margate on Sunday, as it happens. Kent is the toilet of England. Basically Essex for skint people, but with more broken glass and dogshit everywhere.
Really? I always thought Kent was a lovely part of the country. Have the 20 something year old well off illegal male immigrants ruined it?
You don't see Britain as your homelands and you have no pride in it's history or continuation. It makes no difference to you if we replaced everyone with Africans and it turned into a third World **** hole .
I'm as English as you are. I have loads of relatives who fought in WWI and 2. My uncle Gil, who is buried in a cemetery in Normandy, would be appalled at all the thick flag-shagging fascist ****s wrapping themselves in the cross of St George.
But he'd be delighted at the thick, smelly ungrateful fascist Frogs wrapping themselves with their ****ty white flags of surrender to the Nazis, still happening 77 years later
Traced our lot back over 500 years, and they're pretty much pure stock from this area, which is noted as being the one with the most Anglo DNA in the Country.
Does anybody have the number of the Russian hooker? No white powder required. Netflix probably have the film but Harry and Meghan cannot decide who should do the voice over. Does Dame Keira really have an unpaid parking ticket? Surely it would belong to the chauffeur. Of course, in the world of collective ownership we would all own it. It could be worse. The Official Raving Loony Party still think that everything that wealthy German hypocrite wrote is God's Law and immutable. It is somewhat ironic that the plebs are charged to visit his grave.
If your grandparents are Irish then you are not very English. If your ancestors that fought Germany knew you were permanently seething that other British people voted to leave the EUROPEAN UNION which is ran by Ursula von der Leyen the granddaughter of an SS officer and German aristocracy. They probably wouldn't be impressed that you hate the country so much and don't care if there are any British people left or that we are just a German colony.
