The discussion centers around the issue of grooming and rape gangs, particularly involving predominantly Pakistani men and young white girls. One speaker emphasizes the need for accountability and public awareness, highlighting the complicity of local governments and social services. They argue that this is a cultural issue, pointing out differing attitudes towards women in some communities. The other speaker counters, stating that a significant number of these crimes are committed by white men and insists on addressing all perpetrators equally, regardless of their background. The conversation touches on the historical context of vilifying specific groups and the need for a balanced approach to justice.

There has been a focus on specific cases of child abuse linked to certain communities, but we must recognize that these crimes occur nationwide, involving various perpetrators. In Glasgow, the West Midlands, and Cornwall, there have been numerous cases of abuse by individuals of different backgrounds. It's crucial to support all victims, regardless of the race of the offenders, rather than fixating solely on the perpetrators. The discussion should also include systemic issues like police corruption and societal attitudes towards vulnerable groups. Victims are often marginalized due to their class, which exacerbates their suffering. We need a broader conversation that encompasses all aspects of this issue, rather than narrowing it down to race.

I received a call from a grandfather in Rotherham about his 13-year-old granddaughter. She went missing after going to school, and the police were notified. However, the police didn't seem too concerned. At 2:30 AM, a neighbor called 999 after hearing a young girl screaming. The police found the missing girl at the house, along with another young girl, seven adult Pakistani men, and she was almost naked and drunk. Instead of questioning the men, Southampton Police arrested the 13-year-old for being drunk and disorderly, put her in a cell, charged her, and she was convicted. The police didn't even question the men about why a 13-year-old, nearly naked girl was in their house in the early hours.

Telford is often overlooked by national media regarding child sexual abuse (CSA) and child sexual exploitation (CSE). CSA refers to various child sex crimes, including rape and grooming, while CSE specifically involves group-based exploitation of children. The victims are children, not young women or prostitutes, and the perpetrators are adult men. In Telford, CSE is prevalent across various neighborhoods. Despite reports suggesting these are historical issues, the reality is that these crimes continue today, affecting predominantly white working-class girls in towns like Telford. The situation remains urgent and ongoing, contrary to claims that lessons have been learned.

There are alarming reports indicating that over 250,000 young white girls have been victims of rape this century, predominantly by Muslim men. These girls often endure repeated abuse over many years. The chief constable of Northumbria has stated that grooming gangs are likely operating in every major city. What actions is the government taking to address this issue? Specifically, what measures are in place to prosecute those in authority who ignored these crimes due to fears of being labeled Islamophobic? Additionally, what support is being provided to help the victims recover mentally?

Speaker 0 contends that there is no link between immigration and sexual violence against women and girls. They then raise a pointed question about grooming gangs, identifying them as being of largely Pakistani descent that are “blotting our communities,” and ask if there is anything the other speaker has to say about this issue. Speaker 1 responds by saying the question is perfectly valid, but notes that they have moved on to other topics. They request to stick with the subject at hand. They explain that they were not asked to come in, and that they have strong feelings about immigration, which they stated in their reply. They state clearly that they are not going to start injecting racial connotations into discussions about immigration or crime. The brief phrase “The woman behind” appears at the end, implying a note about a person present, but the sentence is cut off.

This is Rotherham, a town known for its tragic history of abuse. Many fathers have fought to protect their daughters from grooming gangs, but the police have failed to act. There's a vote for a national public inquiry, but Labor threatens to discipline any MPs who support it. They fear exposing the truth about inter-Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs, prioritizing votes over children's safety. Local inquiries have been dismissed as racist, and Labor's claims of being a people's party are questioned. The call is for a comprehensive inquiry to reveal the ongoing dangers children face today, as many are still being drugged, beaten, and groomed. It's time for transparency and accountability to protect future generations.

The speaker asserts that organized grooming gangs, mostly of Muslim origin, exist in various locations, citing Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford, and Norfolk. They claim court cases reveal most perpetrators are of Kashmiri Pakistani origin. The speaker alleges police and social workers avoided addressing the problem due to fear of being labeled racist. In response, another speaker accuses them of turning a question about sexual violence into one about religion. They state that the majority of rapes and sexual violence in the country are perpetrated by white people.

More people were sentenced in Rotherham for the summer riots than for the grooming gang scandal. Authorities pursued weekend rioters more vigorously than those responsible for decades of rape and sexual violence against vulnerable young girls. Tutti Akir has called for inquiries on various issues, but not the rape of young girls in at least 50 towns and cities, which involved racially aggravated sexual assault and hatred towards young white girls. This is shameful, and the fight for justice must continue.

The speaker criticizes the government's handling of rape gang inquiries, stating that local inquiries are now minister-led instead of independent. Funds for inquiries are now opt-in, and some local leaders deny the need for them. The speaker claims that victims are predominantly white, and perpetrators are predominantly Muslim men of Pakistani heritage, suggesting racial and religious aggravation in some cases. They cite instances of institutional failure, including a social worker attending a wedding between a 14-year-old victim and her abuser, and a welfare rights officer being the ringleader of a rape gang. The speaker questions why no one has been convicted for covering up these rapes and calls for a dedicated unit in the National Crime Agency to investigate collusion and corruption, including within the police. They highlight a case where a father was arrested for trying to rescue his daughter from abuse. The speaker advocates for a national inquiry, quarterly ethnicity data publication, termination of parental rights for convicted sex offenders, and harsher sentences for grooming gang members. They share a graphic account of a 13-year-old gang rape victim. They question why the government won't investigate the full extent of the issue.

Teenage girls are being groomed for underage sex by Asian men, while the victims are white. Investigative reporter Andrew Norfolk initially hesitated to cover the story due to concerns about its potential use by the far right. However, as more cases emerged across the North and Midlands, he noticed a recurring pattern: Pakistani men were predominantly involved. In 2010, Norfolk alerted his newspaper and began investigating further. The first story on this hidden crime pattern was published in January 2011. Norfolk faced accusations of racism, which he found strange and deeply unpleasant, as it was the first time he had been accused of such.

Reports indicate that there may be around 250,000 young white girls who have been victims of rape this century, predominantly by Muslim men. These girls often endure repeated abuse over many years. What is the government's response to the chief constable of Northumbria, who suggests that grooming gangs are likely active in all major cities? Additionally, what actions are being taken to hold accountable those in authority who ignored these issues due to fears of being labeled Islamophobic? Lastly, what measures are in place to provide mental health support and compensation for the victims?

The speaker asserts that discussions of child abuse and child trafficking are avoided in the UK Parliament, implying that avoidance signals a problem. They claim there is no separate crime of satanic child abuse in the UK; they say it’s simply child abuse, and suggest that the Netherlands similarly erases the subject. The speaker relates local discoveries in Leicester, described as the nearest city to their area, where they found extensive child abuse linked to both historic and current politicians and to the police. They state they gave evidence against the head of police about “industrial child trafficking.” A central claim is that there is industrial-scale trafficking of children from Ukraine via Moldova to the UK for sexual abuse and organ harvesting. The speaker says this information came from two Ukrainian secret service agents who independently reported the same scheme, without knowing each other. They alleged that Ukrainian secret services collected children during the conflict in the Donbas and handed them over to UK secret services. The two informants reportedly named individuals and were appalled by the task of collecting children for trafficking. The speaker recounts that one whistleblower was killed in a cafe when a bomb was placed under his table, and the second survived a car bombing after being warned by a car park camera clip showing the explosion as he approached his car. They claim the whistleblowers named people very close to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his regime, asserting that those individuals purportedly benefit financially from the war by enabling child trafficking. Further claims include that there is more money in child trafficking and sex trafficking than in drugs or weapons because of the trafficked children’s organs. The speaker contends that the trafficking scheme involves selling the children multiple times, and that victims disappear after organs are harvested, which is why victims are not found in the end. Throughout, the speaker emphasizes the alleged connection between wartime activity, Ukrainian whistleblowers, assassination attempts, and a broader network that allegedly profits from child trafficking and organ harvesting.

The speaker wants to uncover the truth about past failures and implement changes to protect children in the future. This includes changes in social services and policing, with the goal of putting perpetrators behind bars. The speaker also emphasizes the need to gather proper ethnicity data, which Louise Casey's report found to be totally inadequate under the previous government. The speaker hopes for agreement on the importance of these measures to achieve stronger protection and truth.

The speakers discuss the reluctance of police to reveal the ethnicity of rape suspects, fearing angry protests. This is contrasted with the quick release of the white ethnicity of a driver who drove into a crowd after a Liverpool Football Club parade. One speaker accuses senior police of hiding behind the College of Policing's guidance, which he calls a "discredited, woke, dangerously leftist, pathetic think tank." Despite government consultations with such groups, change is possible. Andy Marsh, head of the police inspectorate, advocates for quickly naming suspects' ethnicities. One speaker suggests a simple decree from the Prime Minister could mandate revealing the ethnicity of all suspects charged with crimes. While Starmer and Cooper seem to agree, the cabinet is waiting for independent advice, leading to suspicions of deliberate delays to avoid public knowledge, possibly until winter to deter protests.

Speaker 0 notes that grooming gangs have obviously been found in many cities and towns around the country, but there haven’t been many prosecutions in London. They say, “this is happening anywhere and the only reason why it’s not being found is that people aren’t looking.” They ask, “Are you looking in London for grooming gangs in London in order to prosecute people? Because if it’s going on in cities like Oxford and Bristol and Peterborough and Aylesbury, smaller places, it’s surely going on in London as well on a large scale.” Speaker 1 seeks clarification, asking, “Can I just be clear chair, is the inference that because of my faith or my ethnic origin I’m not seeking to follow these crimes?” Speaker 0 responds, “No. I’m asking you because you’re the Police and Crime Commissioner.” Speaker 2 interrupts, addressing Assembly member Curtin, saying, “I think you you’re pretty much drifting now on to drifting off the subject itself so can I just ask you to stick to the topic and ask a relevant question please?” Speaker 0 counters, explaining, “Well Chair I mean I was originally asking about Black Lives Matter and then the mayor started talking about slavery and the questioning is developed.” Speaker 2 reiterates, “But you’re still going off the tangent now so can you please be cautious about that and not ask Chair.” Speaker 0 responds, “If you want to disallow my question that’s your prerogative.” Speaker 2 then states, “Well I will use that then. Thank you very much. I’m going to move on now to the questions to the mayor on the priority order. The first question is number 1754.”

Footlow. Thank you, madam deputy speaker. I've been seeking data from the Ministry of Justice regarding foreign rapists, including deportations, prison status, and re-offending rates. Unfortunately, this information is not centrally identified in their systems. This situation calls for a full national inquiry; it’s a serious issue that cannot be ignored any longer. The public demands transparency about the delays in addressing this matter. In response, we acknowledge the need for better data collection on child sexual abuse, including ethnicity of both perpetrators and victims. The previous system was inadequate. We are committed to increasing the deportation of foreign national offenders who commit serious sexual offenses, having raised returns by over 20% since the election.

Grooming gangs are a serious issue, and Keir Starmer's response to calls for a national inquiry raises concerns about political honesty. Kemi Badcock, the Conservative leader, plans to propose an amendment in the House of Commons for a full public inquiry. However, the previous government failed to conduct a thorough investigation, limiting it to only six towns instead of the fifty known cases. There is a need for a focused inquiry addressing the racist behavior towards young white girls, particularly from some in the Pakistani community. If the government does not initiate a comprehensive review, funds will be raised for an independent inquiry. The public demands the truth, as past responses from police and social services may have been influenced by fears of inciting racial division, despite the racist nature of the crimes.

The methodology behind selecting cases of grooming gangs is unclear, with claims that 80% involved Pakistani men lacking legal basis. In one year, there were over 600,000 reports of sexual crimes in England and Wales. Extrapolating this over 12 years suggests millions of unreported instances. A foundation investigated only 100 to 150 cases, which the media widely reproduced, contributing to decades of misinformation. This propaganda, supported by Hollywood and government agencies, has perpetuated negative stereotypes about certain groups. The intensity of this psychological operation is surprising, given the lack of violence against these communities.

Rape gangs and child grooming have been persistent issues in Keighley and the Bradford district, yet local leaders have avoided launching an inquiry. The recent national report does not address these specific concerns, raising fears that the scale of abuse in Bradford may exceed that of Rotherham. Questions remain about the number of children affected, the identities of the perpetrators, and when justice will be served. There are ongoing, appalling crimes against children in Bradford and beyond. It’s crucial to focus on both historical and current abuse. Reforms are needed to ensure victims' voices are prioritized and to improve collaboration between policing and councils. Local efforts will involve working with survivors to ensure their experiences inform future changes and that they are properly heard in the process.

Former Labour adviser Scarlett Maguire and political commentator Amon Bogle discuss front-page claims about the grooming inquiry, framing it as sabotage by Labour and a government-controlled process. - Speaker 1 (Amon Bogle) says the Telegraph front page alleges the grooming inquiry was sabotaged by Labour, and argues the inquiry from the outset was a follow-up of a cover-up spanning three decades, noting Labour initially refused a national inquiry. He asserts the government is manipulating the inquiry by refusing victims and survivors the chance to name perpetrators as Pakistanis, and by preventing examination of religious aspects of the abuse. - Speaker 2 (Scarlett Maguire) contends the issue is not an “Asian grooming gangs” problem but a Pakistani problem in the UK, with the vast majority of perpetrators from Mirpur in Pakistan. She says two women removed themselves from the inquiry because they were being silenced by the government from looking into race. - Speaker 0 (host) remarks on the broader fear of addressing the issue, recounting community knowledge of grooming in shops, gyms, and corner shops, and says he knows the abuse continues and no one is doing anything about it. - Speaker 2 adds that the country has been too scared to discuss the perpetrators, noting that police, social workers, and care workers were afraid of being labeled racist if they spoke out. - Speaker 3 (another participant) notes that there were conflated timelines and that early on, victims faced police or social workers who could be perceived as perpetrators in some cases. He mentions Kirsty Dahmer as the person who first brought grooming cases to court and reopened cases that had been closed, stressing the difficulty of running any inquiry that listens to all parties. - Speaker 3 emphasizes the challenge of conducting an inquiry where social workers and police are involved, and argues that victims and vulnerable young women in care were abused by social workers, the men who did it, and later by the police. He underlines the horrific nature of these events and notes that what happened is still happening today. - The discussion notes the ongoing impact on young women in care, with a final, emotive remark that reading a certain girl’s book would break one’s heart, signaling the lasting harm and urgency of the issue.

Children were groomed and exploited in plain sight, with teachers and authorities ignoring the situation. Shabir Ahmed, a key figure in the Rochdale grooming gang, operated from a community center, selling young girls to older men. These racially motivated crimes against white working-class girls were overlooked by the Labour Party, which relied on block votes from specific communities. Despite the horrific nature of these crimes, there has been little accountability. Campaigns for justice have faced resistance, with attempts to silence whistleblowers. The focus remains on demanding a public inquiry into the systematic failures that allowed these abuses to continue. The political landscape has shifted, with efforts to unseat Labour politicians in favor of accountability and justice for the victims.

The report reveals a systemic failure among various agencies to address the widespread abuse of children in Rochdale over the past 10 to 20 years. It highlights numerous missed opportunities for decisive action that could have prevented or disrupted this abuse. Greater Manchester Police is among the agencies criticized, and an apology is extended to the victims for the significant shortcomings in their response.

The Muslim community has been notably silent regarding the reported rapes of young British girls by predominantly Muslim men, with a recent House of Lords speech revealing that 250,000 girls have been victimized this century. The audible gasp from the chamber occurred when the culprits were identified as Muslims, highlighting a reluctance to confront these crimes. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has been in office since 2016, raising questions about his awareness of the situation. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer, the current Prime Minister, oversaw the Crown Prosecution Service during a time when many rapists evaded justice, while fathers attempting to rescue their daughters faced arrest. Tommy Robinson has long warned about these grooming gangs but is currently imprisoned for contempt for exposing the truth.

How many grooming gangs are there in London? Can you clarify what you mean by that? I'm referring to the gangs in places like Rotherham that groom young girls for sex. In London, there are issues with the exploitation of young people, but they may not fit the specific definition you're using. Are you saying we don't have similar gangs in London as in Rotherham and Bradford? It's important to understand what you mean. I’ve clarified: these are gangs that groom young girls for sex. How much clearer can I be?
