Paedo groomers like the perverted Rotherham gang should be behind bars until death or deportation.

The eight-year, £6million investigation into the town’s grooming gangs scandal detailed how more than 1,400 girls were systematically failed by the police for years.
Over a decade and a half, the force “failed to protect vulnerable children” from the sexual deviance of predatory gangs of men, mostly of Pakistani heritage. But it didn’t stop there.
Adding to the tally of exposés came a separate review this week, commissioned by Oldham Council into an abuse ring in the Greater Manchester town.
That report revealed that Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of a notorious grooming gang in nearby Rochdale, had been left free to work as a welfare rights officer in the council.
This was despite claims of sexual abuse being levelled at him for several years. Police failed to tell his employers.
The monster raped and trafficked girls as young as 13 across the North until he was eventually banged up for his crimes.
The spine-chilling chronicle of abuse that young, working-class girls have been subjected to at the hands of men so morally depraved doesn’t bear thinking about.
But we MUST think about it.
If anything, the culture of cowardice and secrecy that has long surrounded discussion about Asian grooming gang scandals is an affront to justice.
And it means these men have not received the level of indignation that they rightfully deserve.
How many people are aware that many of these paedo gang members are back on our streets?
Where is the outpouring of outrage that they continue to avoid taking full accountability for their crimes — and that our justice system allows it?
Human rights fanatics
It’s sickening enough that young, vulnerable girls were plied with drink and drugs and passed around like ragdolls between paedophiles.
It’s revolting that those girls, some as young as 12, were intimidated, beaten and even gang-raped for sport, and sometimes cash.
And that the police turned a blind eye to the child victims and their parents.
Officers saw older Asian men with young girls as just a “fad” that would pass, with many too cowardly to call out South Asian perpetrators for fear of stirring up racial tensions.
But just when you think the diabolical exploitation of young girls at the hands of these men isn’t harrowing enough, it gets worse.
Because, when you are dealing with a legal system like ours, so full of laughing-stock sentences and bleeding-heart activist lawyers, things can always get worse.
So, to add insult to injury, it has also been revealed this week that grooming gang members released from prison are continuing to exploit our soft-touch legal systems to swerve deportation.

One convict from the prolific paedo posse of Rochdale, Adil Khan, who served four years after getting a 13-year-old girl pregnant, has invoked “human rights” to avoid being deported back to Pakistan.
It’s not the first time he and his sex-offender ilk have mounted legal challenges against their deportation.
In a hearing this week, the 51-year-old pervert claimed that it was wrong for him to be deported because of his right to a “family life”.
He said he had to remain in Britain in order to be a “role model” for his son and to teach him right from wrong.
Khan wouldn’t know “right” if it walked up to him in broad daylight and kicked him in the nether regions.
Shame on our justice system for entertaining this immoral, conniving behaviour.
Shame on the militant human rights fanatics who constantly put the well-being of criminals before the well-being of victims.
Khan and his paedophile pals should have been thrown straight into a cab to the airport and on to the first flight back to their home countries the moment their prison doors were unlocked.
In fact, the only two options for foreign child rapists, traffickers and groomers should be death behind bars or deportation on release.
Not the measly single-digit terms too often handed out.
Until we bring the full force of the law raining down on the heads of these predatory packs of men in our towns and cities, I have no doubt this will not be the last column I write about a grooming scandal.
Our politicians should stop being so spineless and send a long overdue, zero-tolerance message to these barbarians. If you come to this country and traffic, abuse and rape our children, you will either die behind bars, or be on the first deportation flight out of Britain the second your sentence is over.
From bad to verse
OCR, one of the GCSE exam boards, has removed famous works by white male poets John Keats, Philip Larkin and others as part of a move to “represent diverse voices”.
The board says “of the 15 poets whose work has been added, 14 are poets of colour”, adding, “our new poets also include disabled and LGBTQ+ voices”.
What has which way someone swings sexually or how dark their skin is got to do with the quality of their poetry?
Just because I’m a black woman doesn’t mean I’m more likely to resonate with poems written by black women.
“I thought that poem was absolute rubbish, but now I know it was written by someone the same colour and sex as me, I think it’s a work of genius,” said no one, ever.
What reductive, moralising nonsense.
I’m all for giving kids exposure to people of different cultures and colours but, for the love of God, I wish they’d at least do it in a way that isn’t so patronising and so bloomin’ transparent. The Sun.
