"Rotherham Council's entire leadership has resigned following the publication of a damning report into the town's child sexual exploitation scandal. An independent report, ordered by Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles, concluded that the local authority was "not fit for purpose" after finding it has a culture of "bullying, sexism, suppression and misplaced 'political correctness"'.
Following the publication of the report, which was written by Louise Casey, Rotherham Council's ruling Labour cabinet issued a statement annoucing the entire leadership was stepping down."[...]
At last, a report that provides the evidence to bring prosecution to those inept officials:
"the National Crime Agency (NCA) announced its ongoing investigation into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham was to be extended in the light of Miss Casey's findings.
The NCA said it will "examine a number of potentially criminal matters identified during a recent inspection of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council". [...]
"As a Cabinet, whatever the details, as the political leadership of the council we must take responsibility. We therefore announce our intention to resign our positions as soon as transitional arrangements can be put in place."
Moments after the resignations were announced, Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles announced that the "wholly dysfunctional" council leadership was to be replaced by Government Commissioners" [...]

Even more shocking and damning for the officials:
"A police officer and two councillors have been accused of having sex with underage girls in Rotherham, the South Yorkshire town at the centre of a child sex abuse scandal which lasted 16 years."

I feel these recent developments deserve a new thread. ONE testimony stood out for me, when a young victim said "two police officers came in and saw a group of Asian men, most half dressed; and me with only my top on" to walk around the room and say "nothing to see here". Totally sickening, but with these revelations, we can see why NO action was taken. IN yet another report, we find Political Correctness has played its part. Hopefully, this now puts to bed those who doubt those who have said this, from the start. I will add, living in the UK, what is going on in some of these cities? So many people need to hang their head in shame.
