The UK government has refused to release the findings of an official review into the characteristics of grooming gangs. In response to a freedom-of-information request filed by the Independent, the Home Office has said releasing the information at this time would not be in the ‘public interest’.
The review was launched by then home secretary Sajid Javid in 2018. This followed years of revelations about grooming gangs of predominantly British Pakistani Muslim men raping and pimping predominantly young, white, working-class girls in towns and cities across England, with victims numbering in the thousands.
At the time, Javid, himself of Pakistani heritage, expressed his anger, saying these gangs had ‘disgraced our heritage’. He spoke about the issue in various high-profile interviews, noting that time after time the authorities had turned a blind eye to such crimes for fear of being called racist. But so far nothing has come of it.
Last May, Javid was accused of a ‘shocking’ lack of action on the issue. His successor as home secretary, Priti Patel, is reportedly battling with civil servants even to see the results of the review herself. One source told the Huffington Post that she was being ‘given the runaround by officials’.
This is an outrageous betrayal of victims, past and present. Sarah Champion, Labour MP for Rotherham (where it is believed as many as 1,400 girls, some as young as 11, were raped and exploited between 1997 and 2013), has accused civil servants of ‘ignor[ing] requests into grooming-gang data’ in the hope ‘ministers will just move on to a different topic’.
She says this reluctance is not only failing the victims of Rotherham, Huddersfield, Manchester and elsewhere, the cases we already know about, but also those currently being abused. ‘The reason we need offender profiles is to allow the police to disrupt and prevent grooming gangs’, she told the Huffington Post. ‘We have this data on other forms of child abuse, why not this?’
It’s a good question. What could possibly justify withholding this information? Not least since the cost of secrecy in this area is so high – for the victims primarily, but also for our debate about these issues. While each of these scandals was shamefully enabled by police and local authorities, fearful that confronting grooming gangs could fuel community conflict and racism, covering it up risks having the opposite effect.
As Nazir Afzal, the former chief crown prosecutor who brought the Rochdale grooming gang to justice, has argued, the lack of research is being ‘exploited by the far right’. The less we are trusted to know about and discuss the phenomenon of British Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs, the more bad actors can fill the vacuum, exploiting this issue to their own racist ends.
We need a frank discussion about this depraved, industrial-scale form of sexual violence, why it has been routinely covered up, and what role a kind of religious bigotry plays in it. The Home Office must release the findings of this review, and trust us to have this difficult but profoundly important conversation.
The government sponsored the Nene report, this was over 70 pages of info on child molesting activity in the UK. The report strongly linked Homosexuality with Pedophilia
and several Homosexual magazines sponsored by New Labour carried naked pics of underage boys.
Tony Blair D Noticed this, along with the Longford papers
Lord Longford paid many visits to speak with child rapists and killers in prisons
he was appointed by his neice Harriet Harman who along with Patricia Hewitt and childrens minister Margaret Hodge, were known as the ” Three Jewesses” who campaigned to finance PIE the massive pedophile group, and their gay marches etc
Child abuse, often dismissed as ” boy-nobbing” destroys lives, there must be no relaxation in child protection laws
Asian minicab drivers from Bolton and Manchester were involved most days running frightened children all across the North of England.
A 3 million and a half signature petition was handed in to Government
to deport all criminals and they families and dependents back to country of origin.
When our own government puts foreign criminals and child abusers before its own electorate, its time for us to act as a nation, to prosecute the politicians who brought in these people, we need to start hanging them from lamp posts.
I’m guessing there are some big names in it, not necessarily national names but certainly locally known–often judges and top cops and other masons such as businessmen and local politicians linked to national parties. So sitting on a report protects not the local dregs who become known when they’re tried anyway, but it does shield local high society.
Dont Forget the Kray twins and Greville Janner were supplying boys from care homes to other jews and anyone who would pay.
The West Lynn chidrens home were letting boys aged 11 and 12 to be picked up and taken to parties, social workers woud joke about it and would occasionally attend themselves.
It wasnt all just Muslims, jewish gangs did it too but mainly for boys.
One study blamed male circumcision, i blame the governments first for importing in all these muslims and second for allowing it all to go on
Don’t mess with the crowns business.
Fred West always ciaimed he has wel known names attending his parties and was protected by them, so i think michael mcnulty is right, its come out about some of the big names of BBC folk who went to Elm House for the boys
This rhyme was recently seen as the old wallpaper was being stripped from the walls
The boy stood on the burning deck
Armed only with a spanner
He knew today the poofs were coming
and wanted to cosh Greville Janner
Characteristis? They’re virtually all Muslims ffs!!
Absolutely unacceptable that information on a major grooming gang would be withheld and covered-up. Anyone and everyone involved in the grooming, abduction, trafficking, rape, or exploitation of children for the sexual pleasure of deviants should be named, shamed, impoverished, and publicly executed. Period. Have them drawn and quartered on the very streets on which they reside.
Take a good look at all those despicable degenerates in the photo at the top. Every one of them should make your skill crawl and your blood boil. Contact your local police department, council, and mayor’s office and demand action. If they refuse/fail to take appropriate action, then take it yourself by any means possible.
