UK: After Muslim rape gang coverup, Rotherham Council nominated for “Social Worker of the Year” award

Oct 6, 2017 5:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Rotherham Council has been nominated for a “social work employer of the year” award, despite the authority being slammed in government reports for failing 1,400 girls raped and abused by Muslim grooming gangs.

Infuriating, shocking and a stark indication of how low the U.K. establishment has sunk simply for fear of being called racist. Why has the British public largely turned a blind eye to the coverup of the brutal victimization of its young girls by Muslim rape gangs, and the neglect of duty by so-called social workers?

Nominating Rotherham Council for a “social work employer of the year” award adds insult to injury and is a mockery of justice. Every negligent social worker who willfully failed the young victims should have been penalized for neglect of duty. The Council should be most concerned about the victims of its neglect.

“Rotherham Council Tipped for ‘Social Worker of the Year’ Award After Rape Gang Scandal ‘Cover Up,’” Liam Deacon, Breitbart, October 5, 2017:

Rotherham Council has been nominated for a “social work employer of the year” award, despite the authority being slammed in government reports for failing 1,400 girls raped and abused by Muslim grooming gangs.

Responding to the nomination, the council claimed that “Rotherham is turning the tables on its past”, after the 2014 Jay report and 2015 Casey report, which said political correctness and fear of accusations of racism contributed to the abuse being overlooked for more than a decade.

The nomination, part of the Social Worker of the Year Awards 2017, is reportedly a result of the authority’s “outstanding work with vulnerable children” following a recent recruitment drive.

On the same day as the nomination, it was reported that a further 12 mainly Muslim men had been charged in connection with the historical sexual abuse of eight young girls in Rotherham.

The Rotherham scandal has been described as “the biggest child protection scandal in UK history” and was exposed in 2010 after five Pakistani Muslim men were jailed for sexual offences against underage girls following Operation Central. Subsequent operations and trials led to a further 20 convictions.

In total, there were more than 1,400 victims between 1997 and 2013. The Casey report found that Rotherham Council had a “bullying” culture of “covering up uncomfortable truths, silencing whistle-blowers, and paying off staff rather than dealing with difficult issues”.

In August 2015, it was reported that more than 160 police officers were under investigation over allegations they systematically ignored complaints of widespread child sexual exploitation.

“This Council suffered as a result of how issues were handled in the past,” commented Ian Thomas, Strategic Director of Children and Young People’s services at Rotherham Council.

“However, following the appointment of Commissioners, supported by local elected members, green shoots of recovery have definitely started to emerge. And being short listed like this highlights the positive steps we are taking.”

Councillor Gordon Watson, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Children and Young People’s Services at Rotherham Council, added:

“This really couldn’t have come at a better time for us. Staff retention is higher than average which is great news and we still have all of our 22 newly qualified social workers with us who came in last year, which is a record for the Council. Nationally more than a quarter of new starters leave the profession within the first year, so this is a real achievement….

    There is clearly a mistake here because it’s not April 1st. today. Either that or they’ve got the Monty Python scriptwriters on to the nominations committee. “We still have all of our 22 newly qualified social workers with us who came in last year……Nationally more than a quarter of new starters leave the profession within the first year” says Councillor Gordon Watson. Really? Now, why might that be? It could be interesting to see exactly who these amazingly dedicated 22 persons are. Have they actually successfully cleared up the whole disgusting epic mess so that the English parents of Rotherham no longer have cause to fear for their daughters’ safety? Or are they more motivated to maintaining ‘community cohesion’? Or does having ‘Rotherham’ on your CV not look too good to a future employer?

    This is like jews nominating Hitler for the Nobel peace prize — makes absolutely NO SENSE!! And to award Rotterdam for “outstanding work with vulnerable children” of all things is to commend them for having all those girls raped, which implies that all counties should do the same… UK is well and truly finished.

      You are right. They are truly finished. I used to have so much empathy and sympathy for those suffering from the muslim slime. Now? I could care less. The British people have become a nation of gutless, spineless cowards, like the rest of Europe. Any one with one ounce of pride, self respect and a modicum of dignity would not stand idly by whining and moaning and saying “woe is me” while their culture is being destroyed and their children are being raped and their fellow man is being maimed, tortured and killed out of hand. With the only exception being the Eastern Bloc. Comparatively speaking there is only a mere handful whom are speaking out against this fascist cancer that is islam. Britain is now nothing more than a scabrous, festering pus, an emasculated old man laying on it’s death bed. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    Those who worship Satan (allah) have many allies among the atheist of this world!
    Satan may fool many, but he can NOT fool everyone!
    The founder of the Cult of Satan (islam) was a deranged Child diddler. The Prince of Darkness has used him to mislead a billion people. They will eventually be cast into the “Lake of Fire” with their “god”!

    the Abrahamic child sacrifice initially seemed to me scary, now the stiff upperlips takes the fears out of that story, and makes it mainstream.” for gods sake Reginald, before anybody call my stiff upperlipp laced, rightaway i would sacrifice 1400 kids to the sauvages”

    Since in nature of British psyche is always to OBEY (authorities), it should surprise no one that the British public largely turned a blind eye to the cover-up of those “incidents.” Only in Britain police, historically, has such high authority that they did not even have to carry weapons to execute the law. And more: as great Victor Hugo described (in “The Man Who Laughs”) it was sufficient for magistrate official just to SAY to the suspect to follow him and the suspect meekly obeyed by following him.

    “However, following the appointment of Commissioners, supported by local elected members, green shoots of recovery have definitely started to emerge. And being short listed like this highlights the positive steps we are taking.”

    My, what a silver lining! Well, I would have thought that you’d need more than 2 years of self proclaimed improvement before you qualified for an award.

    The article goes on to cite improved retention rates for staff and other dreary management metrics. But no officials are quoted as promising that they won’t enable Muslim rapists in the future.

    …………………….

    Wait–ignoring the children they are tasked with protecting being handed over to rapists is now worthy of awards in England? Utter moral insanity.

    No doubt Aylesbury, Banbury, Bristol, Derby, Halifax, Keighley, Newcastle, Oxford, Peterborough, Rochdale and Telford will ALL soon be vying for this prestigious honour as well.

    I am bewildered at how the UK is so welcoming to Muslims but not Christian immigrants. I am shocked at their continued appeasement to the muslims even after the ordeal of the 1400 Rotherham girls

    How dare you boast about awards for social work? Thousands of young girls were groomed, raped and abused by Pakistani Muslims in your town- AND YOU KNEW ABOUT IT AND DID NOTHING.

    Young girls who were told if they refused to do what was ‘required’ of them, their mother’s would be raped, their fathers would be killed. Young girls who were given drugs and gotten hooked on the shit to make them more compliant and obedient. Young girls who were TRAFFICKED – IN BRITAIN for Pete’s sake.

    And when those young girls got too old? When they reached the age of 14 – they were then told by those scum pig’s who had lost sexual interest in them, to now go out and find other fresh young girls to bring into the groups. And if they didn’t? Well – the beatings, the rapes, the threats against everyone they love intensified until those young girls broke and started tricking fresh young girls into this nightmare.

    Most of these young girls, were YOUR responsibility. Most were vulnerable and on the radar of Social Services to begin with. You failed those young girls, completely and utterly abandoned those young girls – and now you want to give yourselves awards for doing so?

    The Social Workers, the Police, the Politicians, the Council Employees,the deadbeat Parents – every single adult who had some remote hand in keeping the community safe and in protecting those girls should be in jail right now

    You make me sick. Enjoy your pathetic award – I do not acknowledge it.

    Not surprising – “social workers” are professional state-paid SJWs who have been given life and death “authority” over all lesser mortals in the West. The ones with Ph.Ds in Social Work get to determine mental capacity and can have people committed at will, against their wills. It’s a profession which should not exist.

    Outstandingly horrific as Rotherham rewards themselves for turning into Rothem and Gomorrah!
