Hour 1
- James kicked off the this story about that quotes a report by the Office of Children's Commissioner
- Sue Berelowitz said the evidence indicated the perpetrators "come from all ethnic groups and so do their victims, contrary to what some may wish to believe".
- James takes exception with the last part of that sentence. He sees it as emblematic of "political correctness at it's worst"
- James thinks the report has played down the role of certain sections of Asian/Muslim (consensus has yet to be reached) men whose attitudes towards women are "medieval" and who are more likely to target
- As usual, a lot of callers who are high on anger and low of logic called in to disagree with him
