'As a true Guardian reader, and liberal leftie, I didn't want to rock the multi-cultural boat,' says former Rotherham Labour MP Denis MacShane as he insists no-one raised town's child sex abuse scandal with him.
The former MP, who resigned as MP for in 2012 over the expenses scandal, said ‘misplaced racial sensitivity’ prevented him from 'burrowing into' the widespread sexual abuse allegations. Mail.
(You may well ask, how did he know that there was 'a boat to be rocked' - yet not know of this crisis? - I suppose we shall just have to take his word.)
The left-wing position is based on a distorted world view. This only causes problems, however, with: Immigration, Economics, Public Safety, Our Relationship With The EU, Crime and Punishment, Poverty, Disincentives To Would-Be Investors in the UK, The Downgrading of Our Armed Services inter al. You may care to note how the Tories have adopted so many similar leftist positions in recent decades.
(I note that with regard to people of influence today, 75% come from that hotbed of liberal leftism - Oxbridge!)
