Media myths

revelaTIOnS about the rape of 1,000 girls, most of whom were white, in Telford over 40 years by men of asian heritage are remarkable because they demonstrate the savagery that occurred in rotherham, rochdale, newcastle and Oxford is clearly not contained to those cities.

Yet it seems to have received little mention on radio and Tv.

When white, working-class children are the victims of racially aggravated rape and violence, the white, middleclass liberals who run our broadcast media seem not to be interested.

It is impossible to imagine them taking such a line were white men raping asian children en masse.

Our media elite instead perpetuates the myth that the native working class is racist and xenophobic, when all the while, it seems, poor whites suffer the most racially motivated violence.

It’s hard not to conclude that the word ‘racist’ is but a means for the upper orders to discipline the working class. PHILIP DuVAL, Manchester.
