Is that none of them have the foggiest idea where Rotherham is, let alone any genuine concern about the victims of sexual abuse there who were allowed to slip through the net.

At the general election the Conservatives didn't even stand a candidate in Rotherham.

What happened in the past in Rotherham was disgusting. But the avalanche of grifting gobshites attempting to score debating points on the subject without ever offering anything constructive to improve things in Rotherham is also repellent.
