This is obviously true. Even Champion herself apologized for stating what is obvious fact. As the last jihadi knife blade slices through the neck of the last Leftist in the UK, the victim will be consoling himself with the last thought, “At least I was never a racist.”
“‘Floppy’ Labour are turning a blind eye to sex grooming gangs for fear of being called racist, claims sacked MP,” by Claire Ellicot, Daily Mail, September 2, 2017:
The Left is turning a blind eye to sex grooming gangs for fear of being branded racist, a sacked Labour MP has said.
Sarah Champion was dismissed from the shadow front bench last month for saying that Britain has a ‘problem’ with British Pakistani men exploiting white girls.
In her first interview since then, the former shadow women and equalities secretary said the ‘floppy left’ was failing vulnerable children with its silence.
In a newspaper piece last month, the MP said: ‘Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls.’
She quit her role after the piece caused an outcry among her Labour colleagues.
After her resignation Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn – an MP in Islington, north London – said his party would not ‘blame’ or ‘demonise any particular group’.
He accused the paper of inciting Islamophobia and stigmatising ‘entire communities’. But Labour was accused of stifling free speech….
She said a liberal fear of being branded racist was preventing those on the Left from speaking out.
She said: ‘If I’m on the floppy left, to be accused of racism is probably the worst thing you can call me. That fear will motivate me to step away from a lot of topics I’d maybe tackle head on if I didn’t have that phobia.’
Her constituency Rotherham was home to one of the most high-profile grooming scandals….
Miss Champion made her comments about ‘British Pakistani men’ in a Sun column last month. She then resigned and made an apology for what she called her ‘extremely poor choice of words’….
Dum Spiro says
This kind of story should make front page news in the United States and Canada. Societies such as those should realize what could happen with a mass influx of Muslim immigrants. Of course not all are bad, but with large total numbers come the same percentage of the bad actors (meaning more of them). The citizens of the US and Canada must care about the well-being and safety of their (grand)daughters…

“Of course not all are bad……’
I agree, Dum Spiro, but this is irrelevant since an ideology should be based on what it says and never on the fact that many adherents of that ideology don’t fully implement or wrongly implement its tenets. One could have found some nice Nazi Party members in 1930’s Germany, doctors, businessmen, teachers, etc., but this didn’t make Nazism OK. During the Cold War one could have found in one Communist country after another many Communist Party functionaries who, on a daily basis, were good with family and friends, regular blokes and all that who would even share their last bottle of vodka with a guest, but this didn’t make Communism all right. In the alternative, one can find Christians who are hypocrites but this doesn’t mean Christianity is a negative such as Nazism, Communism and Islam are.
Islam calls for eternal war against all non-Muslims “until all religion is with Allah.” {Sura 8:39} Well over one hundred passages from the Koran call for this. It is also difficult to find a single page of the Koran that does not manifest rank antipathy towards non-Muslims, examples being Sura 60:4 and Sura 98:6. Every major school of Islamic theology to this day, Sunni or Shiite, for instance the four main Sunni schools, the Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi and Maliki, calls for a Muslim who converts to another religion to be killed and severe punishment or death for anyone who criticizes or mocks Islam, Mohammed or the Koran. Islam has no Golden Rule for all, only for Muslims, and considers non-Muslims the equivalent of human waste. In short, Islam is an enemy of freedom and decency and it is truly disgusting. Thus I don’t think it terribly important that some Muslims are nice people. In fact, such Muslims are nice precisely to the extent that they are not good Muslims.
The person is secondary. What the person believes in or adheres to is primary. This is how Muslims must be judged first and foremost and why further Muslim immigration to Western nations needs to stop, though I fully comprehend just how difficult this will be politically, legally, constitutionally, and even economically, but the West is bringing into its midst followers of the worst religion ever created by man and the fact that some of these followers are nice is of zero importance. Indeed, such people actually give cover to the iniquity which is Islam.
Wellington says
I think it would have made more sense if I had written, “….an ideology should be judged…..” and not, as I did, “…….an ideology should be based……”
vyx says
Really good point. This would be a good talking point to throw at the MSM right now– each time “Not all Muslims are bad,” simply reply “And not all Nazis were bad.”
gravenimage says
Spot on, Wellington.
Any decent Muslims are decent *despite* Islam. Islam itself is a vicious creed.
Greyhound Fancier says
Well said, but with the level of reasoning and background of most people in the West these days, ad hominem and tu quoque arguments are persuasive to many.
Little or no actual content on history is taught in schools, so many people are utterly ignorant of what occurs in Mohammedan countries, and what Mohammedans think of infidels.
Back in the day, I was horrified by the adults talking about amputations and beheadings in the Arab countries for punishments. That was about 1961. I was six years old. These days, supposedly educated “grown-ups” haven’t the understanding to see Islam as what it is.
It would be wonderful to send these silly foolish people to live in a Mohammedan-majority country for a while and see how they like it.
Adrian Johnson says
The problem with”Muslims deserve it” is that (To use the non_PC language of the Uncle Remus Stories) Islam is a “Tar-baby”. Once you are touched by it, you can’t escape it.
Decent people who had the misfortune to be born into Muslim families and who yearn to leave oppressive life in a Sharia culture, can’t — their own families will kill them.
No other religion but Islam punishes conversion away from its creed with death.
mortimer says
At least there is one honest politician in the UK and she paid a big prince for honesty. We can expect there are many more who are afraid to say the Emperor’s policy of appeasement ‘has no clothes on’.
So now she’s said it: The Left suffers from ‘racist-o-phobia’… their greatest fear is being called a racist.
Well done, courageous Sarah Champion! She’s a champion of common sense in politics.
MUSLIMS LIKE TO RAPE KAFIRS, BECAUSE ISLAM IS A RAPE CULT INFORMED BY THE SACRED EXAMPLE OF MOHAMMED AND KORAN 4.24.
Favorite sex slave was a Christian slave. Mohammedans imitate Mohammed.
Anne Smith says
Don’t get carried away with praise for Sarah Champion. She is not the saint you would like to believe.
In he autumn of 2015 a brave UKIP MEP, Jane Collins made a superb speech from the Doncaster Conference platform about the rape gangs in Rotherham and the dreadful way the Labour Councils and MPs had ignored it, not only because they were frightened of being called “racist” but because they didn’t want to admit they knew about it, although she stated that she believed they must have known.
Two of the then MPs immediately sued her for defamation (slander) but the third,Dennis McShane, who had admitted knowing about the rape gangs was sent to prison for fiddling his expenses. His replacement, who had not even been an MP at the time Jane Collins made her speech, petitioned the courts to be allowed to join in the action. This was – unbelievably – allowed by the judge.
Even more unbelievably, the judge ruled in favour of the MPs and Jane Collins lost the case and most of her money in damages.
I hope Sarah Champion is proud of bankrupting one person who really had the guts to speak up about the disgusting rape gangs, because we never heard a word from her about it until recently when she probably thought there might be a bit of political gain to be made from it.
mortimer says
correction: price
Michael says
I don’t believe it’s for fear of being branded racist. The Left aren’t convinced that Islam is a false religion or that there is a God who sends Muslims to hell.
Michael Copeland says
Fear of being branded racist may well be the “official” reason for public relations.
Quite probably there is a silently made clear threat of job-loss-blamed-on-racism.
Wellington says
Sarah Champion committed a terrible mistake. She told the truth.
Anne Smith says
She took a long time to get round to it.
Terry Gain says
I would rather be thought of as a racist and bigot than be a fool and a coward who is afraid to speak the truth about Islam.
Andy says
I don’t know. The first thought that came to my mind when I read this article was that it seems like history is repeating itself.
In the 1930’s countries kept appeasing Hitler time and time again while he kept goggling up different nations without firing a shot.
Is it not the same today with countries appeasing Islam? .

You are right–this is very much like the appeasement of Fascism before WWII.
And thanks for the Pat Condell video–always great stuff from him.
Ade says
stand your ground flower ! .. only the arseholes are going to call you racist !
Richie says
I will bet Muslims know full well that they can use this to their advantage- they know all they have to do is accuse people of racism and then they will be given whatever they want, and the welcome mat will be rolled out.
Georg says
Naz Shah, MP for Bradford “liked” and “re-tweeted” a post suggesting underage rape victims singled out as non-Muslims (and perhaps for being white/ethnic British) ought to “…shut their mouths. For the sake of diversity.” Afterwards, she “un-liked” and reversed her “re-tweet” claiming it was accidental. Another MP described this alibi as absurd as both liking and retweeting unintentionally is unlikely to the point of being an unreasonable excuse.
Fortunately, Naz Shah is not only a vicious bigot but dopey (as the aforementioned tend to be).
Just today she re-tweeted the comments of a man who AFTER her “accidental” retweet called the investigation of these rapes “bs”. Another accident?
For good measure, Naz also re-tweeted today a monologue from Munroe Bergdorf, a transgender model just dropped from L’Oreal for previously stating “all white people are racist”. For some mysterious reason she re-tweeted the result of the fight where Mayweather beat McGregor; can’t imagine what interested her about that to the point she’d share it with her constituency (is endorsement of such idiotic brutality even befitting of the office?). Except that I can…
Is anyone getting the picture here as to who we’re letting into our civilization and what their proclivities and intentions are? How is Naz Shah still in office?
She waves the flag of Pakistan. Has practically nothing but bad things to say about Britain and its inhabitants who took her family in. Practically nothing but good things to say about the place her family fled and where she’d presumably live a relatively miserable life compared with hers in Britain. Her twitter page has a background image with her beaming standing next to Sadiq Khan and a profile image of her scowl for the rest of us. It is sick. It is dangerous. And it is the future if our civilization doesn’t defend itself.
Michael Copeland says
“Turning a blind eye” is the malaise of our time.
It is dereliction of duty.
It is also cowardice.
Michael Copeland says
Memo for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn:
One of these ‘entire communities’ successfully “stigmatises” itself.
Georg says
Correct. And to suggest it is the fault of anyone else is criminally disingenuous (as in aiding/abetting bigoted/racist child molesters). To attempt to turn it around and lay blame with wider British society is treasonous. And yet, that is where we are. There is a large number of treasonous people wandering the streets of Britain and even some in government, such as with Naz Shah.
John A. Marre says
How they disguise their intentions with nice names. The “Labour” party is hard left, Marxist, pro-Muslim. It is working actively for the destruction of the British identity and to bring about its replacement, Islam.

UK: Former Labour MP says Left turning blind eye to Muslim rape gangs for fear of being called “racist”
………………
Sarah Champion is right. I’m glad that she hasn’t backed off this entirely–sorry to see that she resigned over telling the truth, though.
abad says
True enough.
I was a member of another prominent forum online but left back in July this year as soon as its owner added an anti-Trump forum and of course all of the defenders of Islam came to the surface. Ironically, these are the same people who will say “all white men are bad” while at the same time say “not all Muslims are terrorists.” They think it is somehow noble to be taking down Confederate statues, rewrite history to their own views, and attempt to discredit facts and reality. Needless to say, they do not think clearly.
Irene Brekelmans says
Sarah Champion,thank you that you had the courage to say the truth, I am very sorry you lost your job.
God bless !!!
utis says
Language, like human leaders, is given too much power by the people who use it. “Racist,” “fat-ass,” “bitch,” “old fart,” “[derogatory ethnonym of your choice], “fag,” ad nauseum — are just words. Adults, especially leaders, should learn to ignore them. Repeat the word you hate most at least 50 times a day (do it by tens) or more. Say it over and over until it loses its power. Then get down to business, and make us a better species.
Everyone who obsesses about his own or another race is a racist. All humans are racist to some extent. Destroy the power of the word to muddle your judgment and control your behavior.

Still maybe miraculously there stiff leftist upperlip will save them from there brutal jihad beheaders.ohhh noooo such a cutly upperlipp by no means will we ever- i mean ever – cut such a delicious stiff upperlipp.

And some Islamic bodies in Australia also dare not criticise some proposed social polices, eg moves for same sex marriage, for fear of losing the support of the broad left. See:

Heh left please make up your mind is Islam a race or a religion but of course we know you always want it both ways which ever suits your purpose of destroying the host country! Personally i say it is a demonic cult!

The original article Sarah Champion wrote..
A great lady, that got things moving when she learnt of things 5 years ago, as you can see in that article
I do not accept her apology of ” ‘extremely poor choice of words’….” It is the truth ! ! !
Read it and weep, as it has been a battle, and still and ongoing battle, yet is really a declared war ! ! !
Better still make the life of Mohammad well known, the verses sayings and deeds, from the recognized sources of koran with abrogations, backed by hadith and sira.
Put it in songs, articles, cartoons, bill boards, poems, jokes, pithy and witty words,
Muslims also need to know, and make a choice of what they support..
Are they really nice people ? ? ?
Anne Smith says
I am sorry Simpleton, she is most definitely not a “great lady”. Read my comments above about how she latched on to court case with a view to making money.
So she, too, has profited (somewhat indirectly) from the rape gangs.
simpleton1 says
It is a pity that their was a great wrangling in politics at great costs in not working for the constituents.
Defamation is a costly and risky way to make money.
Can be difficult to know where the truth lies, when these woman defy commonsense.
It seems on sexual grooming they actually had much in common.
It does seem one up-man-ship and politics destroyed their commonsense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Collins
Under the libel section
“conducted an inquiry with Barnardo’s in 2013 to investigate how effectively children”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Champion_(politician)
So Jane Collins was right that Sarah Champion knew about the Rotherham rapes.
Was she doing nothing?
The main thing was to get out what was going on, despite so many other powerful authorities (councils, social welfare, police) covering up.
Then to get out where the ideology comes from.
After all there is so many nice muslims, that follow up that ideology.
Then there are others that put other ideologies first also in seeking power and money..
