Suella Braverman’s careless talk is provoking racism
Hate speech: Suella Braverman.
To recap: first, Suella Braverman told us “vulnerable white girls are being targeted by British Pakistani grooming gangs”:
Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman says 'vulnerable white girls are being targeted by British Pakistani grooming gangs', and people have been 'turning a blind eye out of political correctness'.#Ridge https://t.co/ZoMhCmTrtv

She was proved wrong by government statistics (most grooming gangs are composed of white English men), as I showed here.
As if to hammer the point home, a gang of 21 white English people have been convicted of child sex offences, as reported yesterday (April 5, 2023).
But the damage has been done. British Pakistani people are being targeted for hate – including broadcaster Adil Ray, as he made clear on Good Morning Britain:
Adil Ray on #GMB this morning talking about the racist abuse directed at him since Suella Bravermans comments.

This Site has already commented on possible hate crime in a Jewish Chronicle article containing words that appeared likely to incite hate against particular groups – and seem to have done so.
There seems to be a strong case that Braverman has committed exactly the same crime – speaking of a particular group in a way not only likely to incite hate against it but that appears actually to have done so.
Mr Ray should file a complaint with the police – as should any other British Pakistani people who have been similarly maligned since Braverman spoke.

“Suella Braverman’s careless talk is provoking racism” – careless? You might, just possibly, wonder. She’s supposed to be moderately intelligent – or perhaps ‘clever’ might be a better word…
Most of these ‘grooming gangs’ are mainly white perverts…including some police!
