Just amazing how a political alliance can result such brutal failure.

This is Labour cracking down.

I guarantee if some white chav got caught shoplifting in Rotherham town centre from a market stall their feet wouldn't touch the floor (literally)

It looks as if I might have not understood your post properly. Why have you used italics throughout? It makes it very unclear what was said by whom, and which parts are your (or somebody else's) thoughts.
What I took to be the response from the NSPCC man may not be his response at all! Confused? You bet!

this one is even better.

Scandal-hit Rotherham Council is luring new managers to work for its tarnished brand by offering a 25 percent pay increase despite £23 million cuts elsewhere.

The extra £40,000 per year being offered to the Chief Executive to compensate for the ‘negative publicity’ from the grooming scandal is around double the average yearly salary of a person living in the region.

The Sheffield Telegraph reports that it takes the already generous remuneration up to £200,000; over £50,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

And new senior managers will also benefit from the bumper pay increase, receiving almost £30,00 extra each on top of their existing salary of £113,384 to put them on par with Mr Cameron’s earnings.

The move was defended by Phil Howe, the director of human resources, who says the ‘market supplement’ was needed to attract suitable candidates because of the reputation of Rotherham council following the Child Sexual Exploitation scandal.

His report said that following the departure of a number of senior managers, permanent replacements will be needed and the additional pay required because of the ‘recent negative publicity surrounding the council’.

The decision was criticised by Councillor Caven Vines, leader of the UKIP group on Rotherham Council, who said he was uncomfortable with the idea of financial incentives.

“If you are advertising a job at whatever figure, anybody applying knows that is the salary,” he said.

“If they are coming up from down south and want to come to Rotherham they are going to have to take a pay cut.”

He added that he was “quite happy” with the salaries advertised, saying: “You are not going to get anybody worth their salt for any less” but said “I just don’t like the idea of offering market supplements.”

The managing director commissioner for the council, which was declared “Not Fit For Purpose” by Louise Casey’s report, said the option to increase salaries for senior managers would be used to attract higher candidates to work in Rotherham.

Stella Manzie said, “It tends to be when you have gone out to advertise once and end up with a very poor field and then you have to check what salary level has been offered at for the post.”

“It is only then you would go for a market supplement.”

Cllr Vines suggested the supplement could be used as an incentive to produce results, saying it would be ‘performance-related’ and only paid if objectives are received as is done in the private sector. But Mr Howe said that type of system was not in operation at Rotherham Council.

The council has been taken over by Government-appointed commissioners after the report by the civil servant Louise Casey who reported they were still ‘in denial’ about the extent of child sexual exploitation in the town.

I agree.

A tad late in coming forward...

meanwhile the law in Rotherham is attending to other matters:

Woman arrested, held in cell for six hours and put on trial for 'over-pruning' tree
Karen Gaynor found not guilty by Rotherham magistrates after being put on trial following seven months on bail for causing 'unnecessary damage' to conifer.

I would assume that the police investigations into child abuse are still ongoing.

Have they started YET?

That should probably be 'has been'...tricky one that.

The tree huggers will like that.

’Tis the election season, so promises fall from the lips of our leaders over key voting groups like blossom from an apple tree. Some promises are more cynical and stinky than others.
Take Ed Miliband, who told Muslim News last week that a future Labour government would outlaw Islamophobia, making it an aggravated crime.
“We are going to make sure it is marked on people’s records, with the police to make sure they root out Islamophobia as a hate crime,” said Miliband. “We are going to change the law so we make it absolutely clear of [sic] our abhorrence of hate crime and Islamophobia. It will be the first time that the police will record Islamophobic attacks right across the country.”
This is deeply disturbing. Do you reckon the Labour leader has read any of the recent reports into child-sex grooming gangs? You know, the ones that concluded that the main reason local authorities, police and social services did nothing to protect thousands of young girls from abuse at the hands of mainly Pakistani men was because they were afraid of appearing racist?

One taxi driver actually laughed as he informed his victim that her complaints would be in vain because “they won’t dare touch us”. He was absolutely right.
Shamefully, fear of alienating “the community” has guided the behaviour of Labour councils in parts of the country that have become bywords for the rape, torture and trafficking of mainly vulnerable white girls.
Far from focusing on Islamophobia, Mr Miliband should be directing Labour apparatchiks, brainwashed about the joys of multiculturalism, to root out the hate crime of misogyny, still considered acceptable by so many in “the community”. A phobia is an irrational fear.
It’s perfectly rational to be outraged by the figures that follow: Rochdale 65, Rotherham 1,400, Newcastle 93, Manchester 650, Derby 27... and on and on, in pain and infamy.
These figures are the recorded instances of vile abuse against girls in Labour areas that rely on the Muslim vote. When tallied up, the tally stands at well in excess of 4,000 children.

the way i see it, a person that votes for labour , votes for child abuse.

I'm sure that one or two Labour voters would wish to disagree with that slur.

Well, it would seem that child abuse is a much more popular pastime than I thought. As far as I can estimate, about one third of the population will be voting Labour. This, according to your post, equates to one third of the population voting FOR child abuse.
Bearing in mind that there are probably child abusers who DON'T vote for Labour...that could mean that the majority of the population are child abusers! I find this quite worrying.

well said.

Labour voters have no morals, they dont care about child abuse.

Did you see the pictures of the Labour Party hustings in Birmingham ? You can over at Guido.

Women weren't allowed to sit with the men (you can guess why) I suppose  this is what those on the left like to call "progressive"

Imagine if it were Ukip or the Tories. BBC would have gone into meltdown.

Children in the Black Country are being sexually exploited, with gangs similar to those in Rotherham operating in the West Midlands, says a police report.


         
The heavily-redacted findings reveal there are ‘significant similarities’ between child sex abuse here and the scandal in Yorkshire.

The findings are revealed in a West Midlands Police report entitled Child Sexual Exploitation, which was produced in October last year but has only now been made public.

The report reveals:
Organised gangs, typically of Asian origin, are targeting victims at children’s homes and schools
They are also using hotels and parks for ‘house parties’ to abuse youngsters
Victims are usually white females aged 13-16
210 children or young people were sexually exploited or at risk of sexual exploitation in the West Midlands in the first six months of 2014
It is marked as ‘restricted’ and large sections of information have been redacted – blacked out.

In Wolverhampton, the city council’s processes are criticised and the report states: “Inference: There are significant numbers of child sex exploitation victims that are not identified by the Wolverhampton local authority.”

A map showing two ‘clusters’ where there have been ‘high concentrations’ of ‘referrals’ in the city is among the items to have been covered up. Certain postcodes and a list of areas in Wolverhampton have also been redacted.

None of the councils in Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell and Dudley have escaped criticism in the report, which was compiled in October last year but has only now been made available to the public.

Other hotspots in the region are Lye, Brierley Hill, Tipton, Smethwick and Rowley Regis in Sandwell, Willenhall and Walsall town centre.



But council bosses don’t know how many children are being abused and some of the information needed to identify abuse is ‘non-existent’.

Abuse is a top priority, say police
West Midlands Police said officers ‘across the force’ had in the past year been trained how to deal with child sex exploitation and tackling the problem was a ‘top priority’.
The force recently created 10 ‘child sex exploitation co-ordinator’ roles, one for each on its 10 local policing units.
Assistant Chief Constable Carl Foulkes said: “Child sex exploitation affects all communities and remains a top priority for us – nothing is more important in policing than protecting vulnerable people.
“The responsibility of tackling this lies with every police officer, staff member, PCSO and special constable.
“Over the last 12 months the force has carried out extensive work to train officers across the force in identifying and dealing with child sex exploitation so we can improve the outcomes for victims.
“A primary role of a co-ordinator is to review all missing and absent child records and record the incident appropriately.
“If the assessment is that the child has been exposed to child sex exploitation, Children’s Services are informed and a professionals meeting is conducted, whereby all details and information is shared.”
All the Black Country councils have come under fire for not sharing enough information about potential victims.

The 125-page report was released by West Midlands Police after a Freedom of Information request. But lots of details remain redacted. It reveals that between January and June last year, 210 children were identified by councils as having been ‘sexually exploited or at risk of sexual exploitation’. But a lack of processes to identify potential victims means there could be many more slipping through the net.

Police said it was ‘difficult’ to say how many were being abused, or at risk of being abused. The report compares the situation to Rotherham, where at least 1,400 youngsters were sexually exploited by gangs between 1997 and 2013. It states: “An assessment of all child sex exploitation profiles produced by West Midlands Police since 2010 identifies a consistent profile in relation to victims, locations and offenders. There are significant similarities to the Rotherham victim/offender and location profiles. It remains difficult to quantify how many child abuse crimes or incidents have actually occurred within the West Midlands.”

Offenders are said to be typically Asian, of Pakistani origin, aged 17 to 40. Most victims are white females aged 13 to 16.
