This designation is being criticized as tone-deaf, but it’s actually something much worse. It’s an attempt by British authorities to divert people’s attention from the Muslim rape gang scandal, and make them forget it altogether. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, and Rotherham is a wonderful place for children, comrade. If you disagree, you’ll be vilified and destroyed as an “Islamophobe.” And the Daily Mail will lead the lynch mob.
“Grooming scandal town Rotherham to become the UK’s first ever Children’s Capital of Culture: Report estimated that 1,400 children were SEXUALLY ABUSED there between 1997 and 2013,” by Claire Ellicott, Mail On Sunday, August 20, 2022:
A town at the centre of one of Britain’s most notorious child sex scandals has been named as the world’s first Children’s Capital of Culture.
But the Government has now revealed it is reviewing the decision to award Rotherham £1.8million in taxpayer cash to fund the year-long initiative in 2025.
The South Yorkshire town hit the news in 2011 when allegations emerged of widespread child sexual exploitation.
It was described at the time as one of the biggest child protection scandals in British history after it was revealed that children in care homes were being groomed.
A report into Rotherham’s handling of the incident concluded that an estimated 1,400 children had been sexually abused in the town between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by British-Pakistani men.
But despite its tarnished reputation, the city has now been selected to be the inaugural Children’s Capital of Culture in 2025 – described by the local authority as ‘365 extraordinary days… of imagination, creativity and community. Packed with music and magic. Dance and drama. Films and food. Exhibitions and events’.
Yesterday, after The Mail on Sunday began raising questions, Levelling-Up Secretary Greg Clark, pictured, said he would look again at the funding, which was agreed by his predecessor Michael Gove last November
As well as the £1.8million from the Cultural Recovery Fund, it was also due to receive £13,600 from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and has been awarded £76,100 in National Lottery grants.
Yesterday, after The Mail on Sunday began raising questions, Levelling-Up Secretary Greg Clark said he would look again at the funding, which was agreed by his predecessor Michael Gove last November….
The campaign group revealed that the Department for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) granted £31,690,000 to British city of culture winners since 2012, while £4,003,438 of taxpayers’ money had been spent on failed submissions….

Stop with the ‘grooming” word people of the U.K. It is not “grooming” as if the little girls were being trained for jobs in the top levels of industry. and they certainly were not learning to do their hair, nails and makeup.
they were …probably still are many that are being…raped and drugged and passed around like a roach from sleaze to sleaze among the mozlum terrorist snakes.
the entire bunch of dolts in *authority* should have resigned in absolute shame at the way they allowed these gang rapes of little girls who were being abducted and drugged and some even murdered to go on for fifty years and then make every attempt…not to make it right….but to cover it all with lies and denials and all of it while blaming the poor children.
Check Burry says
To use Grooming is wrong as is Child sexual exploytation, its criminal gang rape, simple as that.
Mr Mark Steyn on GB News is a brave man, a leader in exposing, namimg & shaming the guilty ones, not that they feel any shame. Full respect for what he has done to bring this right front & scentre, and all the others who have tried to get it treated by the authorities as it should have been years ago.
Barbara says
I have come to the conclusion that British men are cowards. They are afraid of being called and are willing to sacrifice the children and women to a cult that terrorizes those who do not agree with them.
Muslims use their cult as a way to excuse their conduct. They knew when they left their Islamic country, the rest of the world did not have the same standard. They use fear, intimidation to terrorize.
somehistory says
I think your conclusion is correct, Barbara.
Michael Copeland says
Seconded.

thank you, Check and Michael
Infidel says
I dunno: the term ‘grooming’ is now used to describe the LGBTQIA+ propagandizing of our kids in school, and particularly encouraging young kids to do secret surgeries w/o the knowledge, much less approval, of their parents. So if that is a new definition of grooming, the mohammedan rape of British girls certainly would qualify
somehistory says
that is true, Infidel. It that meaning sticks, then perhaps the U.K. thing can be more in the news for what was done, and allowed to be hidden and covered, and some good results happen.
Check Burry says
The only culture involved is the infection given by the wild savage animals.
jayell says
Very good point. They never said which ‘culture’ they’re celebrating and since it seems that one of our previous PMs decided to guarantee the Disciples of the Great Prophet a free run in the UK, clearly our girls should be officially encouraged to welcome yet more of the attentions of our ‘cultural enrichers’.
Check Burry says
Embarrassing idea. Glad Gove is now gone if thats the best he can do.
Pray Hard says
Diversity is our stench.
Michael Copeland says
“Packed with music and magic. Dance and drama.”
Note for the organisers:
Music is not permitted in Islam.
Dance, if it involves mixing of the sexes, is not permitted.
Second note:
Learning Curve needed

Michael, this is a Leftist group called 64 Million Artists. They say *nothing* about Islamic child rape, but slam Britain here:
“We are aware of the systemic injustices that exist towards Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups in UK society, and globally, and as such we have recently re-committed to proactive steps to learn, grow and take action as a company…”
Check Burry says
Yet they feature in every ad, TV etc, way out of proportion to the % of them in UK, its leftist propaganda.

mortimer says
‘Child grooming’ is a legally-defined term. Child grooming is befriending and establishing an emotional connection with a minor, and sometimes the child’s family, to lower the child’s inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse. Child grooming is also regularly used to lure minors into various illicit businesses such as child trafficking, child prostitution, cybersex trafficking, or the production of child pornography.
This crime has been proscribed in various ways since the International Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children, which was agreed upon in 1921 as a multilateral treaty of the League of Nations that addressed the problem of international trafficking of women and children. The proscribed traffic was international at that time. The concept of localised grooming, in which gangs groom neighbourhood victims, was defined in 2010 by the UK Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
………………………….
Rotherham may deservedly be called ‘The Child Grooming Capital of Britain’.
gravenimage says
This is true. Using the term “child grooming” is actually not a case of minimizing the crime in this case.
somehistory says
“in this case,” but how many people are paying attention? “grooming gangs” that people have never heard of, or that when they did hear, were not fully aware or paying attention, does not give the full story. If they said “abduction and rape gangs,” there could be no doubt. The ones writing about it from the get-go, should have written or said, “abduction and rape gangs.”
gravenimage says
Somehistory, perhaps there are some people who are unfamiliar with this term and what it means and assume that this is something far more mild than what it really is. I certainly have no problem with this also being referred to as abduction and rape gangs. Mostly I just want law enforcement to shut it down, and for the West to stop importing rapist Muslim thugs.
somehistory says
I think that is what we all want….but not what we will likely be getting any time soon.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Somehistory.

The ultimate failure here is not with barbaric Muslims (excuse the redundancy) but with a plethora of British authorities, starting with the Queen who has said and done virtually nothing about what has happened to her once free country which is now riddled with two very sick ideologies—Leftism and Islam. And yes, I know that she must reside “above the fray” and all that but to Hell with this when your country is dying. As Abraham Lincoln said when accused of violating the Constitution on several occasions (e.g., suspending habeas corpus in Maryland and challenged by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney in Ex parte Merryman), “It makes no sense to lose the nation but preserve the Constitution.” Just so.
Ex Sgt Brown says
“children had been sexually abused in the town between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by British-Pakistani men.”
It’s now 2022 and nothing has changed…

Yes–I don’t know that this has actually ended–certainly not throughout Britain.
tim gallagher says
What a sick joke. It seems to be an unbelievably bizarre decision. Trying to paper over all those rapes by the verminous Muslim scum I suppose. “Children’s capital of Culture”!! Who comes up with such sick bullshit as this stuff. Yeah, the culture there is the Muslim culture of raping children, just like all those Muslim child brides as well and just like their imaginary prophet and hero, Muhammad, and his child bride, Aisha. What a sick culture it is that islam brings with it..
Muriel Altiparmakyan says
Tommy Robinson was vilified for speaking up and he was right and she get honoured by the Queen for what he stopped up for, These Islamist gangs of dirty Muslim men are a shame for Britain and should be sent back to Pakistan. The Police did an injustice to these poor little girls and should be sacked. Hell with hurting the Muslim feelings. The did wrong and should be justifiable punished, Wake up Britain before you are a Muslim country.

UK: Rotherham, where Muslim rape gangs abused 1,400 girls, named Children’s Capital of Culture
…………………………..
Yes–I heard about this some months ago, Nothing could be more perverse.
Michael says
A related article on Nigel Farage’s website included a clipping from a Rotherham newspaper, ca 1975, on Pakistani grooming gangs and teenage white girls.
This putrid scandal is a black mark on generations of local police and Labour councils.
rp says
It is still going on in UK, Now rich Muslims boys target non Muslims girls by offering money , drugs etc. They just make sure girls are over 16 ? Rich boys are children’s of Muslims who have made it good in Halal food industries such as restaurants , food joints, supply of meats to other non Muslim places etc. Even some of so called Italian Pizza places are now owned by Muslims, Which Muslims PR as authentic Pizza joint, with history how pizza are made etc . Yet dumb locals buy such food and promote Islam, since all the money generated by Halal is used to promote and help Muslims only!
Dwight Hasbrouck says
Tragic troubling disturbing wicked evil demonic chaos
The satanic infused ideology of Islam infuriates me as a true follower servant of Jesus
I’m disgusted that these perverted sexual predator’s get away with their crimes of violence against innocent children let alone women that get raped
In my now 34th yr as an officer in specialized Government security LE I’m beyond appalled that this kind of wickedness is and has been taking place for so long
The dirt bag rapists will face our True God one day for final personal judgment
He promises justice and pay back for all wrong doers
Live ready and die saved

All true and well said. They will ‘reap as they are sowing.’
stardot says
Not resign in shame, rather be brought up on charges of enabling and abetting serial child molesters and rapists.
somehistory says
Both should happen. But if they resigned first with admissions, prosecuting them would be easier and convictions would likely happen faster.
David Foot says
This is insulting to the the raped girls, and is a joke of the Labour administration on all of us. THIS Labour administration is laughing at us, recently they rejected a thorough independent examination in to the perverted criminality against children which prevailed and may still prevail in Rotherham.
