8:36am Saturday 8th January 2011 in Keep Them Safe campaign
BLACKBURN MP Jack Straw has accused some Pakistani men in Britain of seeing white girls as 'easy meat' for sexual abuse.
The Blackburn MP talked of a 'specific problem' involving Pakistani men and called on the community to be 'more open' about the issue.
He was speaking after two Asian men who subjected a series of vulnerable girls to rapes and sexual assaults were given indefinite jail terms.
Abid Mohammed Saddique, 27, was jailed for a minimum of 11 years at Nottingham Crown Court and Mohammed Romaan Liaqat, 28, was told he must serve at least eight years before being considered for release.
The men were the prime movers in a group of men who befriended girls aged from 12 to 18 in the Derby area and groomed them for sex.
In Blackburn, police and social services have been aware of similar problems for four years, running a Operation Engage to tackle the problem.
Back in 2006, the Lancashire Telegraph was the first paper to uncover the issue after the Keep Them Safe investigation and subsequent campaign.
But, despite the work, Mr Straw told the BBC's Newsnight programme: "Pakistanis, let's be clear, are not the only people who commit sexual offences, and overwhelmingly the sex offenders' wings of prisons are full of white sex offenders.
"But there is a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage men... who target vulnerable young white girls.
"We need to get the Pakistani community to think much more clearly about why this is going on and to be more open about the problems that are leading to a number of Pakistani heritage men thinking it is OK to target white girls in this way."
The judge said he did not believe the crimes were 'racially aggravated', but Mr Straw said he thought vulnerable white girls were at risk of being targeted by some Asian men.
"These young men are in a western society, in any event, they act like any other young men, they're fizzing and popping with testosterone, they want some outlet for that, but Pakistani heritage girls are off-limits and they are expected to marry a Pakistani girl from Pakistan, typically," he said.
"So they then seek other avenues and they see these young women, white girls who are vulnerable, some of them in care... who they think are easy meat.
"And because they're vulnerable they ply them with gifts, they give them drugs, and then of course they're trapped."
Yesterday's sentencing came a day after Prime Minister David Cameron said 'cultural sensitivities' should not hinder police action in such cases.
Thirteen men were charged in relation to Operation Retriever, which Derbyshire Police set up, and 11 stood trial charged with offences relating to 26 alleged victims.

I wouldn't be too quick to blame the other authorities, like the Police, who need the co-operation of the young girls to bring any prosecution. We all know there has been a problem with Asian men driving round east Lancashire looking for White girls to prey on but only now does it make the papers. Jack Straw obviously doesn't need the votes now so can finally speak the truth.
The Police and Social Services,have been aware of this type of situation for 4 years ? I can dispute that statement,this type of offence has been going on in East Lancashire for at least 10 years.
My wife worked in a Social Service run 'Childrens Home' for many years,and this type of conduct was going on and being reported.
What action was taken. None !. Young females went missing for days on end having been picked up by Asian taxi drivers.
The authoraties should take a close look at themselves,if action had been taken all those years back,many a young girl could have been protected.
But there again,it takes bottle to set up an operation plus manpower.
I must add that these incidents were not taking part in Blackburn when reported,so I'm unable to comment on the actions of that authority,but it was certainly in Lancashie.

On top of tax hikes, pay cuts and massive fuel prices we have to put up with this? And they wonder where the hate comes from. This needs to stop now. And i dont believe for one second im alone in thinking that.

What Straw has said would have earned him disciplinary action in any government department, for racism.
Isn't cynically and deliberately targetting white girls to get them addicted to drugs and therefore to become sex slaves a racist act?

However as staff we could not retrain the young girls, we could only just contact the Police when they failed to return at curfew. This then took up an inordinate amount of valuable Police time, when we knew they would return in the morning, usually inebriated and carrying items of jewellery and designer clothes that they did not have the day before. All the staff, Police and Social services used to do their best to pursue an investigation, however, without the support of the young people and the fact they will not give evidence against their abusers means nothing can proceed. I once went out to confront two of these men and their arrogance was astounding, after several personal insults and threats aimed at me I walked away. As I walked away they shouted words to the effect that we should looking after our women because if we didn't they would. Finally several months back, walking through Blackburn an hollow faced young women approached me and said my name. I recognised her from the home it turns out she was an ex-resident, she was groomed by Asian young men, passed on to older and older men and when she ceased to fulfil their needs, she was cast out with a crack and heroin problem. She now has turned to prostitution to deal with what in my mind was systematic and sustained physical and sexual abuse.

On one hand folk criticise Jack Straw for allegedly 'cosying up' to Pakistanis (majority of Blackburn Asians are actually Indian in origin!) whilst on the the other hand criticise him for criticising SOME Pakistani men !! The poll shows a vast majority of support for what Jack Straw has said !
That's probably why Jack Straw was one of a handful of Labour MP's to actually INCREASE his majority at the last election. That is what many folk commenting cannot seem to grasp - that Jack Straw is an excellent MP for Blackburn.

If you have seen such things then why do you not report it? If you are not prepared to stand up against these cancerous individuals within your "community", then how can you expect to be treated as you want by other sections of the broader community. If the people in the Whalley Range area of Blackburn, close ranks and turn a blind eye to what is according to Jatt76 says is a common occurrence, then in my mind they are as culpable for allowing such things to happen, rather than speaking out with a view to ending this despicable behaviour. With regard imran86's comment's about over policing. Well as Jatt76 has stated there are obvious signs of grooming and child sexual abuse within the Whalley range area, therefore I would endorse an increase in policing within this area in order to stop such incidents. Jatt76 cannot then complain when the Police are there in force because he finds the behaviour of children who are easily impressed more despicable than the behaviour of the men who prey on these children.

Smooth wrote:You know smooth, if you had not wasted half a page mocking the BNP and the EDL, your excellent point would have been a lot clearer. As for Jack picking on some elements of the packistani community. I don't think he was, but he has brought it out into the open. Maybe something can be done about it now?
Well Jack you have finally said something that all of blackburn and the country sit up and take notice - retirement must be close and then you will take your greasy paws to the house of Lords - LOL. As for making this into a race issue - just follow this link and you will see that scums beget colour or creed: http://www.bbc.co.uk /news/uk-england-cor nwall-11821933 Of course the inbreeding and the incestious BNP and Co will go on bleating about this from a race persepective - if that is their only argument then why do their membership contain people who have shared the same cells as the scum in Derby are now doing. Whats important is this: - How do we protect these vulnerable young people and how do we make sure that those in care are looked after properly and not put in situations where these predators can have access to them? - How do we educate our young people - this requires an honest and open debate and yes some White/pakistani/indi ans/Eastern Europeans etc are potential perpetrators and we must make sure that the Police and Social Services make people aware of these dangerous animals - its not an issue of race but of commonsense. - The community of lancashire needs to cone together and condemn such behaviour but remember not the BNP - their community is already full of these types of perpetrators. Does this mean that next week that Jack will be picking on Gypsies; Darwinians; Poles; and lets not forget the local authority chief exectuives - I think the latter we can ignore afterall Jack and Co made sure their uneducated friends were well greased.

jatt76 wrote:well done jatt76 for proving Jack Straw right. Never in the history of the LT comments page has anybody shown themselves up quite like you have. You actually prove that some asian men think that white girls are nothing more than prostitutes. The fact that some of these kids don't have any parents (which is why they are vulnerable) shows how nasty these scum bags are.
It is not a case of asian guys looking for white meat..it is a case of white girls looking for asian meat as i have witnessed this happening many many times. these women are trained by theyr mothers to hunt for asian youths to pay for theyr dual fuel bills and for theyr crack cocaine or fathers calsberg cans. its not the asians who go to white areas....its the white girls who go to whalley range and stand on corners like prostitutes preying on the vunreble asian man

We need to apply this principle right across our lives. I don't care what faith you areif any - we just pray in a different manner and am sure 'God' or whatever name you call him would not condone this behaviour. We are human first and foremost so start acting that way, treat others how you wish to be treated.
How can u possibly deport someone who was born here and is therefore british, studied here paid taxes etc????? Whilst I have had first hand experience of this kind of thing i do not agree with alot of what is being said. I was born in Stoneyholme Burnley now 98 %ethnic area. My father always warned me about young asian me and their lack of respect for young white women. Funny thing is I did not xperience such filth until I moved to Accrington. At 11 years old walking home from my 3rd dday at high school a car pulled up with an asian man telling me he ran an off license and he could give me free cigs and booze, I was petrified and ran home. I called the police and he was charged with a public order offence. Even after this experience I am still inclined to side with Imran and Jatt. Where are the parents carers etc of these girls? Like it or not booze induced pram pushing Britain is the way it is headed. Why do we have so many 15 year pregnant heroin addicted little trogs with work shy attitudes. I hate that asian men view our women as worthless but perhaps before we call other cultures origins or whatever phrase suits we should look at our own culture . I have an 8 year old son and I am dreading him becoming a teenager. I dnt want girls near my son. Teenage girls as a majority are twice as filthy as young white or asian men these days. Sat on a bus full of primary school kids discussing blow jobs and fingering and who got laid last night!! Sounds course doesn't it??? any of u on here with teenage daughters wise up cuz that is what they are discussing on their way home from school. And when they came home an hour late on a Saturday night reaking of booze with an excuse they missed the bus they were geting laid wise up!!!!!!! I anyone is stupid enough to think that making this a race issue can excuse the behaviour of our girls is deluded. Girls have the opportunity to say know to the cars booze designer gear drugs etc if they were brought up to have a little self respect!!! I must stress I in no way condone the behaviour of any1 sleeping ith underage girls, but above the smoke screen of racism when are we goin to start bringing up our daughters instead of dragging them up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an asian- NOT A PAKISTANI, its a good sign that someone has realised who the bad image of the asian community are. I made this point 2-3 weeks ago on another article that asians come across the same but there is a big difference between indians, pakistani etc and i said pakistanis are the bad image of the asian community because as an indian you can see how rude pakistani are. But obviously people come up with comments like your all the same..go back to ur own country bla bla bla... but at least someone has recognised the root cause and now its out in the open...its the pakistani. i can tell you if there was less pakistanis in Britian the image of asians in britian would be a more positive one.

Most of them esepcially young pakistani males pocess a great deal of cockyness which they think is a good personal attribute which is a shame becasue they try to be something they are not and in the end they end up getting panned
