According to BBC News Wales:

South Wales Police say they are dealing with the largest number of cases of forced marriage and honour based-violence they have ever seen.

In the past 12 months, the force has dealt with 49 cases of forced marriage, up from a typical 30-35, with new cases almost every week.Now, stop and consider this for a moment. "

That's . . . simply appalling. I, too, mourn the England that once was. Will the England that is now ever get over whatever's wrong with her and turn back into something decent?

Remember folks, these are just the cases that get REPORTED. How many other women suffer in silence and fear?

My fiance can't wait to get out of London. It's no longer the place he grew up in, and he's finding very little redeeming value in British life right now - not to mention that it's getting increasingly unsafe to be a religious Jew in public.

I would urge Jews to leave Britain -- the British, by their increasing anti-Semitism, are basically saying "We no longer want or deserve the benefits of a large Jewish minority population." Let the British sink to the cultural mediocrity of modern Germany -- that's the fate they are courting and so richly deserve, now.

Did I miss something? Did the article ONCE have the words "muslim" or "islam" in it?

As abhorrent as it is, many other cultures have forced marriages.

Name one that resides in Britain and isn't Islam.

You're right ... it didn't. And that was because, in Britain, one can get in trouble pointing out the role of Islam in the abuse of women. The lack of mention of Islam, and the nature of the crime, makes it fairly clear to anyone who knows British reporting practices that the perps were Muslim.

As abhorrent as it is, many other cultures have forced marriages.

If any of the perps had been non-Muslim, you can bet the article would made this clear. The only other culture widespread in Britain which practices forced marriages is that of the Hindu Indians -- and they are much less likely to do so than are Muslim Indians or Pakistani.

Under age females, children really, suffer because of political correctness. And the white middle class people like me do nothing because it doesn't concern us. It isn't about us. It just isn't our business. One of these girls will have to be found dead horribly killed and dumped in a public place before anyone will care enough to do something. Maybe.
