The best explanation I've read. Keep saying it.

Here in the UK, grooming gangs hone in on vulnerable young girls for sexual exploitation, and have done for decades. They are first & second generation south-east Asian men who consider any female prey because native females do not live under a closed familial society. Social Services and the police swept it under the carpet. When it first came to light our politicians told the by-then young women to "shut up". Some of these men are now in prison, but it is considered the tip of the iceberg.

I understand Sweden is considered the murder and rape capital of the world - due to the welcome offered by its politicians to those from different cultures. How does a country climb out of such a hole, a hole the UK is sliding into at ever increasing speed?
