You’re absolutely spot on with that Andy, and that’s why this thread has had so few replies, people are afraid to say what they think for being accused of being racists. I’m not a racist and I don’t think you are, in fact I hate racism in any form. There’s an issue here that needs to be addressed and pretending it doesn’t exist only makes it worse.
The problem is that these horrendous crimes absolutely have been used as a strategic rallying point by racists who want to use them to engender a reactionary hatred of Pakistanis and eventually to introduce a twisted agenda of racial purity. Therefore when they're brought up here there is always going to be at least an initial wariness as to why?

The other reason for few replies is that there's, on the face of it, very little to discuss. Everybody would agree there should be no reluctance to investigate and no reluctance to hammer anyone found guilty.
