LONDON — Four men convicted of grooming girls for sex in a case that fueled racial tensions in Britain face deportation to Pakistan after a judge on Thursday upheld a government decision to strip them of British citizenship.
The ruling by an immigration tribunal clears the way for the men, all of Pakistani nationality, to be removed from Britain. They acquired British citizenship by naturalization.
The five victims of the gang who gave evidence in the 2012 trial were all white, and spoke of being raped, assaulted, and traded for sex, being passed from man to man, and sometimes being too drunk to stop the abuses.

A very small victory for the victims involved, as British MPs have estimated that similar Pakistani and Afghan rape gangs are operating around the UK currently.
It looks like the UK's vetting system has been a massive failure. What could be done to prevent predators from entering the UK, and preying on English children in the future?
Thoughts?
