The End of England, Exhibit 937: English Police Ignore Ongoing Rape Gangs to Focus on Real Crime – Misgendering Language

In Britain in recent years there have been a number of horrific scandals in which police and community leaders ignored organized, continuous rape of young English girls by gangs of Muslim men, primarily of Pakistani origin.  As these scandals finally have come to light, the shocking and pathetic excuse given by the police and others is that they feared being charged with anti-Muslim bias and racism if they exposed the rape gangs.

The rape gangs activity in Rotherham, England, is just one of these scandals, but the most infamous.  The section below is from Wikipedia (link), with emphases mine.  Note the self-censorship – the absence of the word “Muslim” in this explanation that fear of anti-Muslim bias caused the ethnic English authorities to allow the Muslim gang rape gangs to rape their own children, and the euphemism “British-Pakistani” for Pakistani men then living in England. 

The Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal consisted of the organised child sexual abuse that occurred in the northern English town of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, from the late 1980s until the 2010s and the failure of local authorities to act on reports of the abuse throughout most of that period. ....  From at least 2001, multiple reports passed names of alleged perpetrators, several from one family, to the police and Rotherham Council.  The first group conviction took place in 2010, when five British-Pakistani men were convicted of sexual offences against girls aged 12–16.  From January 2011 Andrew Norfolk of The Times pressed the issue, reporting in 2012 that the abuse in the town was widespread, and that the police and council had known about it for over ten years.

In August 2014 the Jay report concluded that an estimated 1,400 children, most of them white girls, had been sexually abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 by predominantly British-Pakistani men.  A "common thread" was that taxi drivers had been picking the children up for sex from care homes and schools.

The abuse included gang rape, forcing children to watch rape, dousing them with petrol and threatening to set them on fire, threatening to rape their mothers and younger sisters, and trafficking them to other towns.  There were pregnancies—one at age 12—terminations, miscarriages, babies raised by their mothers, and babies removed, causing further trauma. .... 

The failure to address the abuse was attributed to a combination of factors [including] fear that the perpetrators' ethnicity would trigger allegations of racism and damage community relations [and] the Labour council's reluctance to challenge a Labour-voting ethnic minority....

Shocking beyond words: “the Labour council's reluctance to challenge a Labour-voting ethnic minority” – the English men and women of the left-wing Labour Party allowed their own young English girls to be raped over and over again because to even call attention to it might cause the Muslims not to vote for them in future elections.   

So what in God’s name have the British police been doing with their time, if not arresting gang rapists of their own children?  Answer – sending teams of investigators to check out any allegation of “misgendering” and arresting young English mothers suspected of using incorrect language.  Here’s the recent news (link) out of the land of Winston Churchill (emphases mine):

A British mother was arrested and incarcerated for referring to a transgendered woman as a man in online communication.  Kate Scottow revealed Saturday that police came to her home, brought her to the local police station for questioning and left her in a cell for seven hours while her children watched, The Daily Mail reports.  Scottow had been engaged in a Twitter dispute with a transgender activist over “deadnaming,” or denying the gender that someone believes he or she actually is.  News of the arrest follows another incident in the UK, when 74-year-old Margaret Nelson was questioned by Suffolk police about her social media comments on transgendered people.

Scottow is still under investigation by police — who took her photographs, fingerprints and a DNA sample after arresting her.  They also took the woman’s mobile phone and laptop computer and haven’t given it back since Scottow was taken into custody on Dec. 1, 2018.  “I was arrested in my home by three officers.... for harassment and malicious communications because I called someone out and misgendered them on Twitter.”

Hayden’s complaints prompted both the police to arrest Scottow and a judge to deliver an injunction against her, according to The Mail.

English politicians and police allow Muslim rape gangs to rape their children while they spend their time quashing "misgendering" language.  Millions of men and women died in living memory to save England.  For this?  Dear God, what has become of these people?

Director John Ford at 125

John Ford

I’ve loved movies from as far back as I can remember, and my favorites growing up were filled with action and adventure.  When as a young adult I finally began paying attention to directors, I discovered that many of the films I admired most were made by John Ford.  Today is his 125^th birthday.

Ford was a prolific director, even by the higher-output standards of his time, and he had astonishing breadth in subject matter.  He won four Academy Awards for Best Director, more than anyone else.  But although those four films were all non-westerns, Ford is best known today for his magnificent Westerns.  

Harry Carey Sr, Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, Henry Fonda (in his early days), and especially John Wayne, whom Ford made a star in his 1939 film Stagecoach, are just some of the actors particularly associated with Ford.  In fact, he cast in supporting roles a large group of regulars that became known as the Ford Stock Company.

Ford was admired for his genius, both in narrative and in technique.  But he was a gruff, often-unpleasant man, and at times mean and vindictive – especially when drunk.  Given his personality, Ford had a poor and unsatisfying family life, but in his films he seems almost obsessed with the rituals of community and domestic life.  Many of his best films center on family – some of his earlier ones, like Grapes of Wrath and How Green Was My Valley, can seem overly-sentimental and mannered today, but some that came later are personal favorites – The Quiet Man and Donovan’s Reef.  Other non-Westerns that I particularly enjoy include What Price Glory, The Horse Soldiers, Drums Along the Mohawk, and The Last Hurrah.

Ford's Westerns stand out, many of them filmed in Monument Valley (which he put on the map).  Stagecoach, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are particularly noteworthy favorites.  And then there’s his masterpiece, The Searchers, which many film buffs consider perhaps the greatest Western and one of the best films ever made. 

There are certainly other directors who have made many great films; for me Billy Wilder particularly stands out in this regard.  But Ford had an extra dimension, a thread, in his films that is hard to identify or describe, but it’s there.  Once, as the story goes, Orson Welles, certainly no slouch himself as a filmmaker, was asked to name the directors he most admired, and he replied: "I like the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford."
