Race is not the issue in Rochdale

Interesting article from the Counterfire site about the conviction of 9 Asian men in Rochdale for the sexual grooming of children.
The conviction of nine Asian men for sexual offences against children in Rochdale and Oldham has led to an outpouring of racism in the media and to campaigning by the organised fascists of the BNP and EDL.
This situation is almost a rerun of the racist headlines and commentary when Liaqat and Siddique (two Asian men in Derby) were convicted of sexual offences against children in Jan 2011. Jack Straw (Labour MP) spoke of Asian men seeing white girls as ‘easy meat.’ The media totally ignored the sentencing, on the very same day, of 3 white men in Cambourne for organised sex abuse of up to 30 victims involving children as young as 5 years old who were passed between all three men.

Anti-fascists march against EDL in Luton
Luton: antifascists outnumber EDL

The English Defence League’s planned ‘celebration’ of its three years of existence turned sour as they were 
outnumbered by antifascists in Luton on Saturday 5 May.
The EDL claims Luton as its home town, but only around 800 or so supporters turned out for a rally held behind a huge steel fence that degenerated as drunken thugs – who had been allowed to assemble in pubs that opened specially at 8.30am – threw bottles at police and set off fireworks and smoke bombs.
That number is far below the 2,500-3,000 supporters it bussed into Luton last year and marks the success of antifascists in containing the threat of the EDL’s racist and fascist thugs at a series of demonstrations around the country in the past three years.
