Almost certainly an exaggeration as the woman obviously wants to increase the funding for her organisation. Also by suggesting it is happening everywhere is an attempt to take the race issue out of the situation and to get Rochdale Police and social services off the hook.

Never forget journalism is a two way street, you report this story in this way to help me and I will let you have a scoop on my next big story, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Since 1997 the political classes IMHO have been totally corrupt with no scruples whatsoever, with crony capitalism, crony wind mill subsidies, jobs for cronies, Lord Aston EU foreign minister being one of many examples of this. Public office used to be about: "What can I do for my country?" it is now: "What can my country do for me?" Ferk the plebs who get the chance every 5 years to put a cross on a bit of paper, I'm here now to line my nest, with snouts firmly in the trough, along with their cronies, who will give them directorships, consultancy work and after dinner speaking opportunities, once the current trough is empty.
