The BBC article about the Rotherham sex abuse scandal manages not to mention which party ran the council, not even once.
The article starts thus:
The article starts thus:
Does anyone seriously think that if this happened in a Conservative council that the BBC wouldn't say 'Tory council' over and over again and have Tory in the headline. The BBC's pro-Labour bias is clear and obvious.'At least 1,400 children were subjected to appalling sexual exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, a report has found.
Children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, abducted, trafficked to other cities in England, beaten and intimidated, it said.
The report, commissioned by Rotherham Borough Council, revealed there had been three previous inquiries.
Council leader Roger Stone said he would step down with immediate effect.
Mr Stone, who has been the leader since 2003, said: "I believe it is only right that as leader I take responsibility for the historic failings described so clearly."
Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist”
The inquiry team noted fears among council staff of being labelled "racist" if they focussed on victims' description of the majority of abusers as "Asian" men.'

So seeing as this was allowing perverted crimes to take place for years, known to council staff, is he acknowledging criminal guilt?
In which case, straight to sentencing please.
