Operation Tourway by West Yorkshire Police finally sees the conclusion of five trials over two years at Leeds Crown Court.
24 men arrested in total for the crimes, the first arrests were made in November 2018 but covered a long period of time from late 1999 up to 2012. The majority of the offences covered Batley and Dewsbury and involved just eight vulnerable girls. Reporting restrictions were finally lifted last week as 20 grooming gang predators were jailed for a total of 346 years.
The police mugshots speak for themselves as to the ethnic background of the grooming gang participants. Strangely,one of the defendants in the case was White British; all the rest were drawn from what liberal journalists like to call the ‘South Asian communities’.
The level of depravity in these cases is sickening, as is the fact that vulnerable underage girls were treated as items to be used and trafficked. As one mainstream media source commented; “‘Men such Asif Ali, who alone was found guilty of 14 rape offences, committed appalling sexual abuse on a scale which can barely be believed, and saw their young victims as defenceless commodities to be abused and traded at whim.’

Just reading through the list of offences shows that these were not just one-off, spur-of-the moment crimes, but were well organised and obviously common knowledge amongst the Muslim community in Dewsbury and Batley. Note the single White British sexual predator from Wakefield, it would be interesting to know how Michael Birkenshaw became involved, given the background of all the others involved.
Will the immigration or citizenship status of the accused be checked by the Home Office? What likelihood is there of deportation back to Pakistan after sentences have been served? West Yorkshire Police are always very keen to make statements about diversity and defending community cohesion, exactly how do these crimes promote the ever-elusive ‘community cohesion’?
And given the nature of these grooming gang cases, why is there no element of these charges including ‘racial hate’ because the rapists and traffickers all regard their victims as being of no value because they are white non-Muslims?
Once again, some left-leaning elements within the mainstream media have avoided reporting on these trials and especially have avoided the glaring racial element of crimes committed against the White British majority population by non-white, mostly ‘Pakistani-heritage’ immigrant communities.
Also, once again, another example of the terrific level of cultural enrichment of West Yorkshire by the non-European communities that have colonised some of the old West Riding industrial towns.
