I would say they affirm my point.
I don’t hear much from politicians in Government about that either, because the elephant in the room is they don’t want to publicly fund social services or policing to the extent required to prevent it. If the systematic rape of some poor white girls in the north is the price worth paying for tax cuts then so be it is the attitude. Individual responsibility, innit?

It’s a competition for the right because it distracts from their own multitude of failings in Government to focus on a culture war.

Indeed, and I presume the OP is of that view too, so I was slightly bring pedantic in light of the statement made that there was no rush from the left to condemn. Technically nobody had.
