How the grooming gangs scandal was covered up

The child victims of rape were denied justice and protection from the state to preserve the image of a successful multicultural society Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips' decision to block a public inquiry into the Oldham grooming gangs seems, from the outside, to be almost inexplicable. Children were raped and abused by gangs of men while the authorities failed to protect them.

Comments

This is horrific and evil. The UK will arrest people for uncomfortable tweets but won't touch gang groomers.

It's evil.

Dude,

Do you condone what is going on in the UK?

Please be honest (and human) with your answer.

Dude, do you care about what the leader of your party did to Katie Johnson and dozens of others?

Dude, can you focus? The UK has been enabling grooming gangs for years out of political correctness. It's baked in to their governance. This has zero to do with Trump.

If you can separate yourself, just for a moment, from US politics and Trump and look at this for what it is you will probably be mortified and angered. Assuming you are human.

I don't see how this was covered up. This was pretty well known.

But the evidence has been released, and its horrible.

Are you saying the person I have blocked is defending this?

Good thing I blocked him, probably a Groomer himself.

IAMRUNT is jealous that he wasn't chosen to be the orange pedo's wingman.

For starters, the cited link does not have to go through the austere site, archive.org.

The cited link is not pay walled.

www.telegraph.co.uk

From that cited article...

... Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips' decision to block a public inquiry into the Oldham grooming gangs seems, from the outside, to be almost inexplicable. Children were raped and abused by gangs of men while the authorities failed to protect them. ...

Another view ...

Musk's grooming gangs attack on Phillips 'disgraceful smear', says Streeting
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23vdp4y1p0o

... Elon Musk's attack on Jess Phillips over her response to grooming gangs in the UK is a "disgraceful smear", Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said.

Tech multi-billionaire Musk posted messages on his social media site X saying the safeguarding minister should be jailed and calling her a "rape genocide apologist", as well as criticising Sir Keir Starmer for failing to prosecute gangs.

It came after Phillips rejected a request for the government to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham - which sparked calls from the Conservatives and Reform UK for a national inquiry into grooming gangs.

Streeting told the BBC Musk's comments were "ill-judged" as Phillips had "done more than most people ever do" to fight sexual abuse.

On Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Streeting said: "It is a disgraceful smear of a great woman who has spent her life supporting victims of the kind of violence that Elon Musk and others say that they're against.

"It's all very easy to sit there and fire off something in haste and click send when people like Keir Starmer and Jess Phillips have done the hard yards of actually locking up wife beaters, rapists and -----------." ...



My view, this is for the UK to resolve.

Along those lines ...
(from the BBC article cited above...)

... Streeting challenged Musk to "roll up his sleeves" and help tackle violence against women on online platforms.

"Online platforms have got a role to play in keeping people safe online, helping law enforcement on perpetrators of violence against women and people who want to groom kids online."

The health secretary said Sir Keir and Phillips both had "records that their critics can't even begin to touch".

While director of public prosecutions, Sir Keir introduced a special prosecutor for child abuse and sexual exploitation to oversee convictions against grooming gangs.

Starmer also changed the Crown Prosecution Service guidance to encourage police to investigate suspects in complex sexual abuse cases and court reforms aimed at making the process less traumatic for victims.

"As director of prosecutions, Keir Starmer opened up historic cases, going after people who thought they had got away with it," Streeting said.

"As for Jess Phillips, the work that she has done in her professional life outside politics, supporting victims of violence against women and girls, she has helped support them to get their day in in court and lock up their abusers" he added.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has called for a full national public inquiry into what she called the UK's "rape gangs scandal".

Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp criticised Musk's comments on Phillips as "not appropriate" but argued he was "right to be raising the general issue". ...

"Rape is a gift from god!" - The Republican Party.

They're lucky they don't live in red states.

They'd be forced to birth and raise those rape babies.

I mean, those gifts from Gawd!

I see the usual Lumper's not caring about 400,000 girls being raped.

I heard about this earlier today and was appalled. The rapists should be locked up and thrown "under" the jail.

It was also reported that the girls were from poor and/or broken families which made them so susceptible to being abused. What seemed glaringly absent from the report was any concern for improving the conditions of the girls' families so as to prevent the girls from being so victimized. All of the outrage seemed to be targeted at the Pakistani men raping young and vulnerable white girls not the system that caused the girls to be vulnerable.
