You honestly think if all the victims were saying
he looked Somalian, the police would be keeping
it a secret for PC reasons?
Don't shoot the messenger. That's what several people in the Moss are saying.
There is a fair bit of tension between the Somalis and the more 'traditional' West Indian residents in the Moss/Hulme/Rusholme over the last couple of years.
The theory is that the police don't want to be seen to be 'picking on' the Somali community, even at the expense of being factually accurate and possibly more likely that someone would recognise the description.
The West Indians don't like the inference that this perv could be one of them, when he is in fact a Somali.
That's what people are saying.
You may return to your high horse now
Ain't got a high horse mate.
And I know all about the tensions with Somalians
and other people in the area.
Just pointing out that what you said, or what
you heard is bullshit, that's all.
I take it you know something we don't if you can guarantee that the rumours of the attacker being Somalian is bullshit?
