If you want material progress, focus on specific rape gang nexuses. eg ~80% of private hire drivers in epicenter towns were (& still are) Pakistani, & they got (& still get) ~half their income from govt grants to drive vulnerable groups, & ~half the ringleaders were drivers, & all the craziest stories involve drivers (eg drivers who got ~all their money from the public to drive around vulnerable groups got caught bribing care homes to leave open windows for 2:00 am intrusions, & some of the drivers were caught working with dirty cops to handle the most extreme & corrupt hand-offs & arrangements, & some of the drivers involved with ringleaders became politicians, & so forth). PLEASE NOTE: marked “hackney” cabs (the distinctive type you hail on the street with meters inside) are still predominantly white British, & were not involved in the rape gangs. The backbone of the rape gangs were the private hire drivers (the type of taxis you get by dispatch, or esp that govt contracts to pretend to drive old people around & to actually abduct children). Think of them like rideshare apps, but often they’ve still cornered the markets in these towns & muscled out ordinary ridesharing entrants (esp from the govt contracts, which btw are still ongoing). There are many other tangible things you could encourage people to focus on as tangible objects of protest (eg many other specifically corrupt occupations & institutions). But Pakistani drivers are good first steps for agitated people to be angry about.

Reminds me that I've been meaning to do a thread on this somewhat related story.
