Not long ago I wrote an article entitled “Britain Commits Suicide to Avoid Being Called Racist.” And it seems as if British officials are competing with each other to see who can prove my point fastest.
“Top Cop Involved in Failed ‘Asian’ Rape Gang Investigation Promoted to Chief of Child Exploitation Unit,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, January 20, 2020:
A senior police detective who was involved in an operation that failed to go after a predominantly Pakistani child rape gang has been elevated to a top position dealing with sexual abuse against children.
Tony Cook, an investigating officer in the failed Operation Augusta, was promoted to the head of operations at the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre in Manchester four years ago, despite the institutional failure of the operation to protect children from a Pakistani grooming gang in the mid-2000s.
In a report last week detailing the failures of Operation Augusta, it was revealed that officers were told to focus on arresting grooming gang offenders of “other ethnicities” so as to not appear racist.
Detective Cook has denied that race played a role in the failure of the operation, saying in comments reported by The Times: “Any concerns about creating further community tensions did not influence any of his investigative decisions.”
The report, which relied heavily on Cook’s notes from the time, paints a different picture, however, quoting the inspector as saying there were “sensitive community issues” around the case and that perpetrators were “predominantly adult Asian men”.
UK: Police Told to Look for ‘Other Ethnicities’ as ‘Asian’ Grooming Gang Preyed on Girls https://t.co/cvKGT9iFGj
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) January 15, 2020
Maggie Oliver, a former detective turned whistleblower on the failed operation, recommended that senior officers in the case should be prosecuted.
“I want the law changing so there can be retrospective accountability for people whose duty it is to protect the vulnerable. It’s knowing and deliberate neglection of duty… [those who were involved] should be charged with gross misconduct — it’s criminal — where is the accountability?” the former detective said.
Operation Augusta was initiated after a 15-year-old girl, Victoria Agoglia, died after being injected with heroin by her 50-year-old Asain male abuser, a man who the report claimed remains unpunished to this day…

They have GOT to be kidding… Otherwise, this is nothing short of “criminal blindness”.
gravenimage says
Do the police in this picture realize what sign they are making along with this Muslim thug? This is “Tawhid”, or asserting the “Oneness of Allah”. This is not only an anti-Christian slur (due to the Trinity) and threat of Muslim violence against them, it is also the symbol of ISIS.
mortimer says
Good observation. The mullah’s finger gesture means that Sharia law is supreme over the British law of the police. It is a sly sneer against the police and British common law that went RIGHT OVER their heads.
gravenimage says
It seems so, Mortimer.
FYI says
That one finger tawhid salute does represent the oneness of allah.
Of course muslims don’t understand that the Christians too believe in ONE God..but due to an EPIC THEOLOGY fail on the part of their idiot Arab god al LAH{“The BEST of deceivers” k3:54} muslims completely misunderstand the concept.
allah himself completely misunderstands the Trinity:
koran 4:171 Cease”Say not ‘three’ it is better for you
{really?One of the ‘3’ is God’s Holy Spirit of Wisdom,necessary to understand God.Note the Holy Spirit is MISSING in the koran/islam}
koran 5:116 allah thinks..Mary is part of the Trinity{allah,Jesus and MARY}
MARY is NOT in the Trinity!
In any case..{I’m not a Theologian but my understanding is that }
3 PERSONS of ONE GOD..is NOT= 3 separate gods{MARY,Jesus,allah}
{God the Father,God the Son,God the Holy spirit} is NOT= 3 completely different and separate gods {and certainly not MARY!}
The Lefthand side is the Christian view{Monotheistic}
The Righthand side is the muslim view{Polytheistic}
allah himself gets it all wrong so of course his muslims do too.
Even atheists know Christians are not polytheists,Mary isn’t in the Trinity,and it isn’t a 3 separate god polytheism.
Speaking of ONE..
muslims don’t know this but allah has ONE Shin and ONE foot{koran 68:42}
oh and..TWO RIGHT HANDS{koran 49:1,sahih muslim 1827}
Every time I see the muslim with the tawhid salute I always want to ask..”Does that apply to his ONE shin and ONE foot..and what about alalh’s TWO RIGHT HANDS”

Thank you for clarifying this, Gravenimage.

mortimer says
Tony Cook should be prosecuted … not promoted. He let society down, he let the girls down and let their families down. Some of these families may be shattered forever by what happened and by the police inaction. To promote the man who failed them is more than repugnant, but a HUGE SCANDAL in itself. The British PM Boris Johnson should get involved.
The British people need to know their daughters will be safe.
TONY COOK IS A FAILURE IN THIS POSITION AND SHOULD BE REDUCED TO TRAFFIC or a desk job where he will not deal with the public.
RichardL says
I admire your scholarship, mortimer, but you are dead wrong here: the man is not a failure in his position, but a huge success. The promotion is justified because worked for the most important “community” in what was known as Great Britain. He should change his name and would then immediately be promoted to the House of Lords as Lord Ahmed The Protector of the Child-Loving Followers of Muhammad.

I think that the photo accompanying this feature article tells it all.

These police officers WILL side with muslims and ENFORCE sharia law.
The UK is off my travel list, I could not trust the police to defend my wife and daughter against muslim aggression.
When the rest of the world finally figures out that the UK is sharia compliant, tourism will dry up.
I agree with Robert Spencer when he states that the UK is finished…
Bella says
Europe will be lost to them in 20 years.
gravenimage says
There are still patriotic Europeans. Please don’t preach surrender yet.
RichardL says
Bella isn’t preaching, she is stating an obvious truth. I fled the country because I am a realist. The Jews who were optimists in 1933 ended in the gas chamber, the realists next to a pool in Hollywood. Same thing for sane Europeans: the only option is fleeing. One has to see the cruel idiocy of the Germans, and English, etc. The French don’t give a shit. They think the Americans will free them a third time.
gravenimage says
I am *not* calling for baseless optimism, Richard.
But if Infidels are ready to cede their lands to Muslims when they nowhere in Western Europe make up more than 8% of the population, then we are all in trouble. Muslims are not yet in control in the West, and won’t be if we stand up for our nations.
Neither the US nor anywhere else in the West is going to be all that safe if Europe is ceded to the Muslim invaders.
In the past, Infidels retook their lands from Muslim conquest in Spain, and Portugal, and southern France, and southern Italy, and Sicily, and Greece, and the Balkans. Would you at that time have condemned them as fools?
Wellington says
I’m with gravenimage here, FrankL. Let me give you just one reason why as supplied by yourself, to wit, “Jews who were optimists in 1933 ended in the gas chamber….”
True, but Hitler and his bunch ended up losing, now didn’t they? Tactical losses, you know, don’t necessarily add up to strategic defeat.
Frank Anderson says
Wellington, is the murder of approximately one-third of the world’s Jewish population a “tactical loss” when there were many opportunities for many of them to have been avoided? Please reconsider? I spent over 20 years hearing Holocaust accounts, and do not want anything like that to happen again, to Jews or anyone else.
It’s “tactical” when someone I don’t know is getting killed; but downright “strategic” when I or my family is being killed.
Wellington says
Actually, Frank, when looking at the big picture respecting WWII, where some 50 million people were killed, the great tragedy and enormous crime of the murder of some 6 million Jews included, the fact of the matter is that strategically speaking the bad guys lost and the good guys (minus the USSR of course) won. How have I been wrong in this assessment?
Oh, btw, and in further response to you on a thread from the other day about willful ignorance being no excuse (which I completely agree with), for years now I have been experimenting in a very specific respect, to wit, asking politicians, academics, people from a variety of professions (even lawyers!), neighbors, etc. what they know about Islam. I have posed a variety of questions, from what does “muruna” and “kitman” mean, to have you ever read the Koran, do you know what the hadiths are, can you name a single major school of Islamic theology, can you tell me the difference between the words “sura” and “sira,” do you have an approximate idea of how many documented Islamic terrorist attacks have occurred worldwide since 9/11, do you know who Aisha was—and on and on along these lines of questioning.
Well, my OVERWHELMING experience has been that such people I have asked know next to nothing about Islam, haven’t even bothered to read any of the Koran or know that over 36,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks have occurred worldwide since 9/11 (I have gotten ludicrous answers like 50, 100, maybe 400 or 500, etc.). So, I write this to you because once again I don’t think the Western elites, or the general population, want the deliberate destruction of Western Civilization. They’re just too effing lazy, to a monumentally stupid degree, to inquire virtually at all about Islam. Maybe over the next year or two you can try this “experiment” too. Just sayin’.
Hope you are doing well for an old guy. From a fellow old guy I wish you and yours the best.
Frank Anderson says
Wellington, I wish I were doing just a little better. I wanted to go to the shop today to play with a machine I have been working to improve for more or less 11 years. It was too cold the last several days,, and too unsafe over the weekend. But I feel I am so close that I yearn to see the thing work as I imagine. But the shop and I did not greet each other because I just could not make the trip.
I suggest there is a difference in duty for those who are in positions of leadership and influence and those who are not. I REMEMBER how completely ignorant I was before G Beck got me to read R Spencer’s Politically Incorrect Guide. I was not then, am not now, and probably never will be, in a position of leadership or influence. When I found just how completely uninformed I was, I changed and started learning. I was lit as one of those candles I keep writing about.
I still suggest we can do a better presentation if we avoid obtuse approaches such as obscure words and definitions to help people see the reason to learn about them. There is no contest between your knowledge of the subject, and the knowledge of many others, and mine. I know very little in comparison, but still enough to know this fight is not one to lose for any reason. I have presented many cases that did not win on the first hearing, or the second, or the third. I lost count of the case that went through every court I could reach for more than 10 years, all the way to the Supreme Court. And I was paying the bills for that one. Our case to expose and defeat the Islamic conquest is just as important as mine.
I have had a measure of success in getting several friends aware of the issues by starting “lite” and adding details. The goal is not to insult or embarrass the ignorant, but to attract them to want to learn enough to join in the resistance. More information leads to not only better participation, but also to more effective participation because of their increased credibility with others. Just as a certain “multi-level marketing” approach teaches to look for responsive candidates and avoiding those who are not responsive, their lesson applies far beyond the commercial setting. The Jewish teachings I mention repeatedly are just as applicable to us as anyone, 1) Wisdom is all around us, 2) Wherever wisdom is in human hands there is also some measure of error or deception. 3) Never stop asking questions because each time a question is asked the answer will be closer to the truth.
If we present our case in an attractive way, some people will join; some won’t; but some will.
Loving so much of what I know and remember of the Jewish community and teaching, it is somewhere between hard and impossible for me to dismiss the losses suffered in the Holocaust. The local Temple has a Torah scroll from a congregation that was exterminated. To ponder the possibility of another Holocaust, not just upon Jews but literally billions of others, screams for whatever efforts we can make to see it does not happen now or ever.
gravenimage says
Frank, I hope you feel better.
And I agree with you about teaching others–we don’t want to insult anyone who is still learning. Being patient with even small strides is also a good thing.
Frank Anderson says
GI, much of my service to my clients involved teaching them a completely unknown practice of budgeting. My official adopted mother worked from 4 am to 10 pm 7 days a week to keep us going. She knew nothing about budgets or management, and worked like a slave until I got older and started helping. Most of my bankruptcy clients needed to start over because they knew nothing about budgets and spending controls. I spent generally about 2 hours free of charge on our first interview teaching them about matching what they had coming in and what they were trying to pay out. Some listened, some didn’t. Those who did got off treadmills and started living lives of financial freedom. “The rich rule the poor; and the borrower is the slave of the lender.”
There is a need in teaching to awaken a student without beating him into resistance or collapse. I would not have been able to accomplish what I did for clients by going “over their heads” with details they might never need trying to impress them. I could help them by showing them that if anyone as dumb as I am can recover from complete personal destruction and still be able to move on, they can too. Not every client saw success. But many did. And I helped them make it happen. Viktor Frankl’s example is always with me.
Wellington says
Frank: Thanks for your reply and I hope you’re feeling better soon. I am in accord with you about how one presents information. It is not enough to know it well, one must also know how to present the information. As a teacher of history for a third of a century I am quite aware of just how true and important this is. Yes, sometimes it’s understandable that a person can become impatient with people who should know better, but patience and the right approach are still to be aimed for time and time again.
Finally, I want to convey to you that I in no way dismiss the Holocaust. Far from it. I made certain when I taught a WWII Era course I went into detail about the five solutions the Nazis came up with for dealing with Jews—expulsion, emigration, ghettoization, Einsatzgruppen (machine-gun squads), and death camps (the fifth solution, often referred to as the Final Solution). The first two were “merely” insulting and massively inconvenient but the last three were truly lethal. I do believe though that one can see the Holocaust as part of a much larger struggle of right versus wrong, effectiveness versus ineffectiveness (here I am specifically referencing the waste of soldiers and civilians in huge numbers by non-free leaders like Stalin, Hitler, Tojo, et al.) in which well over 40 million non-Jews also lost their lives.
Frank Anderson says
Wellington, one of those dead, or one of the children never born MIGHT have been the One to find a cure for cancer. We will never know. All lives matter!
gravenimage says
Good for you, Frank. You are right that many people understand nothing about budgeting. I certainly learned next to nothing about this growing up. We overspent when we got our welfare check, then were often late on bills and had numerous humiliating and expensive service cut offs, and even regularly ran out of food late in the month. When I was first on my own the best I knew how to do was to at least make sure I had money set aside for rent and bills–but after that I was pretty lost. It was only through trial and error that I was able to figure things out.
I taught adult literacy through a program at the library some years ago–there is a lot of illiteracy in my family. I was known for being especially patient with the shiest students., I was given an award from the city for my volunteer work in 1995.
Frank Anderson says
GI, please let me share the story I told every client about HCT, my uncle and father by choice #2 in sequence only. He started life poor. He went to work for the telephone company at entry level in 1911 and retired in middle management in 1958. He was famous for treating everyone from janitors to vice presidents, whom he dealt with regularly, with equal dignity and respect. He knew the telephone business and technology such that when he retired at 65, he was called to continue working for smaller companies as a consultant until he was 80. He was married to “Chief” for over 60 years when she died. He died 9 months later. When they died they were worth over half a million dollars free and clear of any debt. They did it by thrift and good management. The rules I passed to clients were:
1. Earn every legal dollar you can. Report your income; pay your taxes, in all ways live a peaceful and law abiding life.
2. Pay your bills and pay them on time. Pay the highest interest debt first. Avoid any late charges.
3. If unable to pay bills in full, pay as much as possible above the minimum while leaving enough for food and surprises.
4. At the end of each month look at how much you brought in and how much you spent, The difference is your monthly performance report. Your goal is to always spend less than comes it.
5. Take at least half of the excess and build a reserve initially targeting 3 months income, and then 6 and then a year’s to allow for things like car repairs, layoffs, sickness, whatever.
6. Use at least some of the other half to pay down the accounts you can’t pay in full. When those are paid off, spend a little on a treat.
7. Treat that reserve as your own personal loan company. When taking money out, write yourself a loan and pay it back just like it would be paid to anyone else, including interest, to reward you for paying back and give an incentive to replace it a little faster.
Several clients followed this plan while they were in Chapter 13, and completed their obligation restored to financial independence. I had great teachers. I wish I have been a better student.

It is so morally wrong that this Tony Cook should advance further up the greasy pole of promotions after his evil work in protecting the Muslim rape gangs. I suppose there were higher up types of people, politicians and bureaucrats, who told the police to go along with the politically correct, immoral policies. Maggie Oliver, the whistleblower mentioned in the report is on the right track in calling for those involved, such as Cook, to be prosecuted. Hopefully, one day that’ll happen, although, at the moment, that sounds very unlikely.
Frank Anderson says
T.G. please let me courteously and respectfully ask what you have read about pre-WWII Europe, particularly Germany? That was to me a time with morality and right and wrong went out the window, leaving only issues of survival. Infidels in Europe, with few exceptions, are the new Jews targeted for slavery and death. I suggest that spending effort on moral protests distracts from action that could possibly help you and your family, as broadly as you may describe it, to live in freedom instead of bondage, or die at the hands of people who would cheerfully kill you. This is a declared war, 1400 years old, for the life or death, freedom or slavery, of the entire world.
tim gallagher says
Frank, I think that letting this Cook character and the other police involved in protecting the Muslim rape gangs off the hook is clearly immoral. Justice for all without fear or favour. I agree with you that islam has been at war with all of the non-Muslims for 1400 years and we are the present day targets. I say we need to keep Muslims out of our countries. They can live their shitty, backward lives in their own pathetic and backward countries. Barbaric Islam brings nothing of worth to our countries. On how much I have read about European history, I can give a pretty accurate account. Not a great amount. I studied Modern History (mostly European) and Literature at University, but I can’t recall reading great amounts of history back then. I was probably off getting drunk quite a lot of the time. I’m no scholar, but the books I can recall reading (much later) are Paul Johnson’s “A History of the Modern World 1917 to 1980’s”, because I love his conservative take on things. I’ve read that a couple of times. I recall reading John Terraine’s, “The Mighty Continent”, which was companion book to a TV series on modern Europe. I have read Gordon A. Craig’s “Europe since 1815”, which I had as a school textbook but only got around to reading in full a few years back and enjoyed. I recall reading part of Ian Kershaw’s “Hitler”, a huge biography, which I got out of the library, but, though I thought it was excellent, I only reached the mid 1920’s of Hitler’s life and the German scene. A book I do enjoy is Jacob Bronowski and Richard Mazlish’s “The Western Intellectual Tradition”, and I have read that a couple of times over the years. But that’s not to do with Europe between the wars.. I am more likely to be reading books such as “Guitar for Dummies” (which I enjoyed) these days, as I try to become a slightly better guitarist at almost 70 years of age, or am likely to be off walking in bushland near where I live, or watching musicians I like performing on youtube. I do think about re-reading some of the history books I like, but don’t seem to get around to it, as I guess I prefer doing other things. Something that amazes me, and I do enjoy history, is the unbelievable amount of research historians do. The bibliographies listing the books that historians such as Kershaw or Johnson have read to write their books amaze me. I often think, they must do nothing else but research their subjects. I definitely admire them for being such hard workers.
Frank Anderson says
Tim, I admire and respect anyone who can read music or play any instrument. My talent, such as it is lies elsewhere. I really enjoy good music and have since Bugs Bunny cartoons included great classics. I also ran for a while radio stations as a relief operator that played many styles of music. One of the best parts of being a movie projectionist was the enjoyment of the music.
I ask you to consider one particular book for what I believe will be better understanding, not only of “then” but also right now. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer is a masterpiece of both personal experience and research that covers in detail, not perfect, but real, honest detail what happened. John Toland’s Hitler is a similar detailed history of great merit, which I have read.
In my opinion, reading the more or less 200 pages out of the 1000 page book that covers from the end of WWI to January 30, 1933 is just like reading today’s news. Then on January 30, Hitler was appointed Chancellor and started his rise to dictatorship and the destruction of Germany, along with the killing of more or less 50 million people. I first read this book in military high school during time in the library and study periods. I have re-read it a number of times and am now reading it again as I wait in doctors’ offices, because I believe it shows many of Santayana’s Lessons of the Past.
Why repeat mistakes when lessons are available to avoid them, if we listen? I have failed to listen many times and deeply regret the results. Please consider. Particularly Shirer, but also Toland, write well and read easily.
I most heartedly agree that immorality is rampant. Allowing it to continue without effective opposition and resistance is if anything more immoral, which is why, in my opinion, Claus von Stauffenberg had to finally take the chance he and his group took, knowing both the small chance of success and cost of failure. We must resist before allowing this conquest to reach beyond our ability to stop.
gravenimage says
Tim and Frank, lots of talented people here at Jihad Watch. I’m always impressed.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comments, Frank and gravenimage. Your mentioning Shirer’s book jogged my memory a bit. I’m pretty sure I had a friend years ago who was reading Shirer’s book. But I then remembered that other book on Hitler by Alan Bullock. I think I had a copy of Bullock’s book way back when I was at school but never read it. I may have read a few tiny sections of it. I often tended to be off the planet back then with mental illness and depression, etc, and probably still tend to be a bit the same even right up to the present, though not so severely as used to be the case. It was hard to get me to concentrate on anything back then. I have heard of Toland and, maybe, he would have been mentioned in Kershaw’s biography of Hitler. I got the impression, maybe from reviews on the cover of Kershaw’s book, that his book was considered to be a tremendous piece of work. Maybe Kershaw mentioned Toland’s work as a major source of information. I will see if Shirer’s book is in our local library network and read the section you mention. gravenimage, I agree that there are many very talented and knowledgeable people who comment here at Jihad Watch. You seem very knowledgeable, Frank as well, and I’d also have to say that, like many people have said, Mortimer seems to know almost as much about islam as Robert Spencer does. Mortimer must have really studied Islam in depth. Wellington seems like a very knowledgeable person in many different areas. But there are many others who display a great deal of knowledge. I’ve certainly written down a few pertinent quotes from various Muslims that commenters here have provided. I think a recent one was provided by Michael Copeland, who often has powerful quotes that he has come across. The people here, I believe very strongly, are right about Islam when there are so many people around who haven’t got a clue about Islam. Now that’s a major talent amongst the hordes of gullible people.

Typical! Dystopia is taking over, but it has been going on for quite some time now re. Police investigations into “Religious” bodies. Back in the 1990’s I was surprised to read a large article in a Scottish Sunday Broadsheet newspaper about the serial activities of a Catholic Priest in my own home town! He was sexually interfering with small boys & girls at the Chapel for several years in the 1950’s into almost the mid – 1960’s! The Police had ample time & evidence to prosecute him. The “Church” intervened saying, “We’ll handle it all.” The Legal Authorities stepped & let the ‘Church’ handle it. All they did was transfer him to Southern Ireland where, back then in a Catholic Country the Church held sway over ALL matters, including political. The priest continued to interfere with kids. To “stop” him, the Church transferred him to the USA. There he continued his perverted practices, but this time he was taken to court & successfully prosecuted. The Catholic Church had to hand out considerable monies to his US victims Of course, nothing for his Irish or Scottish victims. In 2018-19 in Glasgow, Scotland a mass grave of 400, possibly more, bodies was discovered, including children. The Forensic Team had assessed that the bodies had died over a period from the 1920’s – 1960’s. The ground was part of a Catholic Nunnery/ Orphanage/Church. There were no records whatsoever of these deaths in Public Records, or elsewhere. The Police interviewed some of the now elderly staff that had lived & worked there. All they got was a standard reply,” Yes I was there. Kids died.” No further action was taken. It appears that a bunch of superstitious perverts, Catholic, Muslim etc., who say they’re “devout Religionists”, get a Free Pass for their perversions.
CogitoErgoSum says
Where is your evidence that any crimes were committed? It’s hard for me to believe that 400 children were massacred one day and buried in a single large grave without anyone noticing and reporting it at the time it happened. That’s a large hole to dig and a lot of children going missing at the same time. Reports I have seen concerning this say that death records indicate that most of the children in the cemetery died of natural causes between 1870 and 1930 from diseases such as tuberculosis, pneumonia and pleurisy. Also, laws at the time did not require burials on private grounds to be registered with governmental authorities – so some were not. Is poor record keeping proof that children were being murdered? It appears to me you are making assumptions based on circumstantial evidence. Maybe it’s not a mass burial at all or maybe some bones were moved from one section of the cemetery to another for some forgotten reason. I’m not going to presume anyone guilty of a crime in this matter until I have seen more convincing evidence of wrong doing.
CogitoErgoSum says
In addition, if you are allowed to have your own theory about the cemetery here is one of my own. Maybe the nuns were allowing poor families who could not afford the cost of a burial to use the orphanage cemetery to bury their dead children at no charge or perhaps a very minimal charge. Perhaps the nuns were allowing the cemetery to be used by people who were not even Catholic. Also, and remember this is really just a theory, but what if they were even letting the cemetery be used by poor atheists and, thus, the nuns had no reason to keep a record of it?
