This article was written as a ‘comment’ response to our republication of David Keighley’s original 2014 article, ‘Multiculturalism slays Rotherham’s young girls’. We decided its observations about the State’s lack of legitimacy were so spot on that that it deserved proper publication.
NOTHING is what it seems. For context, one has to go back to a gentler time, when society was decent and institutions, in the main, worked for the benefit of the majority. Though more for some than for others, we were all being pulled along in the same direction: upwards. That is no longer the case.
Of course, we weren’t lucky enough to have ‘diversity’ in those days. Imagine going back to the 1960s and trying to explain the ‘grooming phenomenon’ to an ordinary British person on the high street: it would be as unimaginable as if you were talking double Dutch. The fact that vulnerable, young, white working-class girls were being exploited, abused and much, much worse by gangs of men imported from foreign lands by the Government itself; and that those engaging in this systematic and widespread abuse came from a demographic that constituted less than three per cent of the population – they just would not have been believed.
Now, add the longevity of the scandal, that being decades, and the reason for such perpetuity, that the Government conspired in its cover-up, looking the other way whilst those in authority, like the police, blamed the vulnerable girls themselves for their disastrous and desperate plight. Go even further, and shock them into shame by explaining how, when a few people did speak out about it, they were sacked, attacked, cancelled, ostracized, labelled as ‘bigots’, and imprisoned.
No, a Briton in the 60s could not have contemplated such horror as has been thrust upon us by the State and the political class in our own land, that we too have, by our silence, been party to. A modern-day Briton is living within the nightmare, in the criminally-insane wing of the lunatic asylum its own elected ruling class has diligently created for them.
When Lord Pearson of Rannock, who was, in the Establishment, almost alone in speakig out against this Muslim atrocity, more than once raising the facts of the grooming gangs in the House of Lords, no muffled murmurs of outrage followed the revelation that perhaps 250,000 young, white, vulnerable working-class girls had been raped. The Lords seemed not to be particularly disturbed by the widespread nature of the atrocity. Instead, the muffled murmurs that came were in objection to his statement that the perpetrators were (and still are) predominantly from a certain demographic. This is how rotten the State in the United Kingdom has been for the last fifteen years.
With this being said, could we not now admit that the British government, as the entity of the State, has de-legitimised itself? We live in a civilized society, a place in which there can be no justification, no excuses whatsoever, for how treacherously, unethically and callously the State has acted. Do we not have to question how the State, now so completely discredited, can possibly investigate itself or ever come to pass fair judgement on itself? Would anyone ever trust an ‘independent’ inquiry from hereon in? We have surely reached the nadir.
This wasn’t negligence or mismanagement. This wasn’t omission or incompetence. This was the institutional behavior of an evil dynamic, diabolical in every sense of the word in which the State, for the sake of upholding a false political narrative, allowed industrial-scale evil to take place while simultaneously denying the nature and extent of what was taking place.
In fact, by allowing it and covering it up, the State actually encouraged it, possibly even appearing to give its blessing. Certainly by then, the perpetrators and their community protectors were savvy enough to instinctively appreciate that, once the State was prepared to act so ruthlessly, clandestinely and dishonorably – illegally in fact – against its own citizens by not upholding the law of the land to the letter, in essence, it was acting in favor of the guilty. Thus, it was the guilty who held the upper hand in the perverse partnership from then on. Simply, the duty of the State is to protect the innocent and the most vulnerable; its duty is not to ‘sacrifice all and anyone on its beloved altar of diversity’.
Reprehensibly, it is still engaged in acting so today, with the release of criminals from prison to make way for those outraged by the Southport murders. Trust has gone; respect has disappeared. Now, with a State that has ceded the moral high ground through its complicity in criminal activity, we find ourselves in uncharted waters.
The breadth and depth of punishment meted out to the guilty should reflect the diabolical nature of the crimes. Whether they appreciate it or not, those responsible – and there must be hundreds, if not thousands – were instrumental in the de-legitimization of the State, stretching from the lowly social worker in the local council authority office right up to the very highest echelons in the ministerial offices of state.
How to deal with the actual perpetrators of the crime is another matter. What has become clear is that, through its instrumental role in the perpetuation, exacerbation and attempted cover-up of this atrocity, the State is in no position to handle matters. Both the Labour Party and the Conservatives, in office or in opposition over these critical years, have demonstrated that they cannot be trusted, and have rendered themselves unfit for office.
It will take a completely new and untainted regime, from top to bottom – Westminster, Whitehall, local government, police and judiciary – to deal with both parts of the equation. Nothing of substance will be possible until the stables have been mucked out, well and truly disinfected of the past.
