You've sleight-of-handed out "government" for "the UK" and linked two stories which don't really involve the UK government.
Furthermore if you read your own links, you will see that the "recent history" of the Rotherham offending is that there is an enormous police investigation costing tens of millions of pounds and a large number of people have been convicted, and the "recent history" of the fallout from Jimmy Saville is that another extremely well-funded enquiry was conducted (IICSA).
The general idea that the UK is particularly accomodating to paedophiles, or that an unusual number of powerful people in the UK are paedophiles, is not supported by evidence.
This meme mainly comes from a serial liar, Carl Beech, who's lies were credulously reported by people who should have known better.
