Anything less than national investigation will fail us all

IN AT least 50 towns in our beautiful country, there are gangs of men who have committed racially aggravated crimes against children.

These children have been tortured and raped in ways so horrific, so depraved and disgusting, that it would feel indecent to describe them here.

How many men are we talking about? Where did they come from? How have they been punished? How many are now living among their victims?

What did the authorities know and when? What did they do? How exactly did fear of being called racist, or "inflaming community tensions", stop people saving these girls?

Would that still happen now? How is it possible that not one person has been convicted for covering up these industrial-scale rapes?
