Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but, with this whole "grooming gangs" bit going on, there are some additional important bits. Yes, majority of offenders are white. It's easy for likes of Farage et al to try and explain that away based on the demographic make up of the UK though. 1/
Reporting on grooming gangs tends to focus on minorities, however, as Home Office's own report showed, offenders are far more likely to be white, British. This isn't an immigration issue. Playing to racist tropes means majority of perpetrators are ignored. 1/ #r4today

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
