Days earlier the possible scale of child abuse in north Wales children's homes was revealed. We now know there were 140 allegations of historical abuse between 1963 and 1992. A total of 84 suspected offenders have been named, and it's claimed the abuse took place across 18 children's homes.
But after the shock has subsided and we have time to reflect on these revolting crimes, the main question in most reasonable people's minds must surely be: what is it about white people that makes them do this?
Joseph Harker in The Guardian.
A puckish satire on contemporary mores, media hysteria, moral panic, racism, Islamophobia, and Orientalism.
"Imagine if they said that about gay people!" etc etc.
Or straight people.
Here's a textbook example of what Harker's satirising by Julie Bindel in the Sunday Times.
Or you may want to read Johann Hari argue, "Yes, it is “Muslim culture” today to be bigoted against gay people" in 'Can we talk about Muslim homophobia now?
Or you could read Lenin's Tomb's response, Can we finally talk about Johann Hari's Muslim problem?
Odd how Hari thinks he's saying something unsayable with this claptrap, when you don't have to look too hard to find other gay journalists saying it.
"A herd of independent minds", indeed.
Oh dear, the fag police are outed again!
