Why just Asian though or is it others also?

Because it's in the context of the 'asian' rape gangs

I agree the term Asian is sloppy but then the language warriors will attack any language being used to discuss the issue as it seems this is the more important issue rather then the hundreds of victims.

Looks like action will finally be taken over this issue (and about time)

She can't revoke their citizenship if they were born and raised in this country. And why specify the rape/molestation, why not look at the other crimes like murder committed by members of this ethnic group and different groups of people who don't have citizenship.

She can if doing so would not leave them stateless, and, it appears these gentlemen have dual citizenship so the world is her oyster.

You're right she can't if they are just UK citizens but she can if they have dual citizenship

But yes you're right this type of action will be used against all sorts of criminals who have Dual citizenship in the future (and rightly so)

Good, if they decide to and can do it.

However I suspect it's more about appearing to act tough and chasing headlines to appease the masses rather than any serious attempt to tackle the culture of sexual abuse in the UK.

Over the last few years, specialist services dealing with the victims of sexual abuse/domestic violence have seen their funding slashed despite having to deal with a hugely increased workload.

Do you have any sources which state that the Pakistani sex abusers hold dual citizenship?

I thought you kept up with the news

can we stop calling them asian? asian covers a wide range of ethnics.

It makes it easy when the time comes to label and generalise. Duh.

it isnt really 'asian' though is it, thats just lazy journalism. most ppl with more than 2 braincells know that asian isnt an intelligent description for these ppl seeing as its not sri lankan, indian, nepalese, chinese, japanese burmese thai etc in general involved in this. I think the most common name amoung the many guys that have been convicted in a number of different cases is Mohammed so Its pretty obvious that the culprits who in most cases have background of a specific faith, from countries like somalia, pakistan, iraq, afganistan, turkish kurds etc

WRT this specific case it is exclusively "british - pakistanis" nothing to do with somalians or other Muslim denonyms. (which i think is what you're trying to get at).

British Arabs, Turks and Kurds combined count for less than 1% of the rapes in the UK.

I think this particular case is neither an Asian or an Islamic problem (though both probably factor into this), rather a British - Pakistani issue. Pakistani guys are far and away some of the biggest perverts i've seen, Indians (Large muslim contingent), Bangladeshis (Muslim Majority), International pakistanis (older generation and those in our universities) etc. not so much.
