David Atherton on X - "This is the moment during the Southport riots, when a South Asian police officer tells fellow South Asians to take their weapons & "store them in the Mosque." I believe this is near Stoke. Anything else there? Hat tip @GeorgeHomilton."
Two tier policing is a myth and right wing conspiracy theory and misinformation

Basil the Great on X - "🚨GOVERNMENT REVIEW SAYS SOUTHPORT ATTACK WAS NOT TERRORISM - Axel Rudakubana should not be branded as a terrorist according to review commissioned by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper They’ll do anything to not talk about those jihad guides he kept won’t they?"

Patrick Christys on X - "🚨 And there we have it - duty solicitors were pressuring people arrested after the Southport massacre to plead guilty and using scare tactics to convince them. Jamie Michael, ex-Royal Marine found not guilty by a jury in 17mins exposed this on my @GBNEWS show just now"

Herd Immunity News🇬🇧🇺🇸 on X - "Review: Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy, did on the 29th of July 2024 at approximately 6-7pm report that the Southport atrocities involving the murder of three children and the attempted murder of ten others were "not terror related". Kennedy must now confirm or deny if she knew any of the following findings:
a) Axel R was on a Prevent terror watch list.
b) At Axel R's home authorities had discovered an Islamic terrorist manual.
c) At Axel R's home authorities had discovered the deadly chemical ricin.
d) At Axel R's home authorities had discovered Islamic terrorist video footage.
e) Axel R had been referred to Prevent anti-terror watch list THREE times since the age of 13.
We note that Kennedy warned the public of "speculation" and that she and Merseyside Police would come after anyone linking the Southport Massacre in a manner which would directly or indirectly constitute stirring racial hatred."

Meme - Peter Whittle @prwhittle: "This might seem a small point after the unspeakable horror described yesterday, but the question still hasn’t been answered : why, for 3 months,  did the media use nothing but the childhood pictures?"

BBC Question Time on X - "“One of the biggest things we can do to prevent this happening in the future is to control social media properly” Entrepreneur Dale Vince says tech giants are “promoting extreme content” and had a role in influencing the Southport attacker and the following riots #bbcqt"
Queen Bob on X - "Sikhs and Hindus and Bhuddists and Jews and Christians all manage to go on social media and refrain from exploding at concerts, blowing up buses and tube trains, they dont cut off soldiers heads, murder little girls at dance clubs, or in parks, or murder gay men, or mow down people in cars. They all have access to knives and Amazon too.  ... perhaps the issue isn't social media, knives and Amazon?"

Matt Goodwin on X - "When a man drove a van into a mosque in 2017 it was declared a terrorist incident within 8 minutes. Attacks on Jo Cox, Keith Palmer, Manchester, Westminster, among others, were all declared terrorism almost immediately with details shared. Keir Starmer’s argument doesn’t stack up"
Adrian Hilton on X - "More curiously, the possession of a ‘white supremacist’ magazine was sufficient for the murder of Jo Cox to be swiftly attributed to far-right terrorism, while Axel Rudakubana's Al-Qaeda training manual does not apparently constitute evidence of any political/ideological motive."

Joe Rich on X - "Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered on 16 June 2016. Thomas Mair faced charges immediately. Next day, the police released details of his ‘far-right literature’ and ‘manual on how to make a homemade pistol’ they’d found at Mair’s home. All these details were, rightly, widely published."

ripx4nutmeg on X - "Jacob Rees-Mogg has revealed that Prevent investigated him for a tweet while he was a government minister - at roughly the same time that the counter-extremism scheme was failing to stop Axel Rudakubana. "They are so woke and so unwilling to say our problem is Islamist terrorism""

Jim on X - "Just to clarify, a minimum of 52 years in prison is worse than a death sentence. No hope, no one to talk to, in fear of being attacked, he will never have a family, spend every day in a small cell. Death would be an escape. #AxelRudakubana"
Luca Watson on X - "Revealed preference suggests this isn’t true at all. Inmates on death row almost always appeal to get life sentences instead, whilst those given life sentences almost never ask for the death penalty or kill themselves."

Allison Pearson on X - "As some of us have been pointing out for some time. British political establishment could not care less about girls’ safety:"
Patrick O'Flynn on X - "The Afghan sex crime conviction rates in Britain are off the charts. This is what comes of bringing in tens of thousands of men from a culture that treats women atrociously."

Basil the Great on X - "🚨ROTHERHAM GROOMING GANG RELEASED FROM PRISON - The men, convicted in 2017 of countless crimes against little girls have all been released EARLY through parole board schemes and now walk free in the public again only 8 years later. There is no justice in the UK"

ripx4nutmeg on X - "Eleanor Williams was sentenced to 8 years in jail for lying about being the victim of a grooming gang. Her 'victims' were given mainstream media coverage. But two of them have now been jailed, both for sexual offences - one for life for abusing children"
Carl Benjamin on X - ">woman lies about Muslim men raping her as part of a grooming gang
>she goes to jail for lying
>the Muslim men were revealed to actually be a part of a grooming gang anyway
What an incredible coincidence."
How odd, given that false rape claims are almost never prosecuted

Islamophobia claims ‘used to suppress grooming gang reporting’ - "a report by the Policy Exchange think tank warned that the term had been “directly used to attack those who sought to expose the Rotherham grooming scandal”. Andrew Norfolk, the Times investigative reporter who broke the story, was accused of working to “amplify an increasingly prevalent Islamophobia” in a 72-page report by left-wing academics from the Media Reform Coalition. Sarah Champion, the Yorkshire MP who fought for victims of the scandal, and Dame Louise Casey, who led an inspection of children’s services at Rotherham council, were shortlisted for the “Islamophobe of the Year” award by a prominent UK Muslim group, the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC). “As in Rotherham, the charge of Islamophobia is often used by wrongdoers who are Muslim, or their allies, to smear or deter those who seek to expose them,” Andrew Gilligan and Paul Stott, the authors of the Policy Exchange report, said. “Any official definition would make this problem worse. The purpose of an official Islamophobia definition is not to stop anti-Muslim hatred or discrimination —which are already illegal — but to create special protections for one faith. “The government rejects claims of two-tier policing, but adopting any form of Islamophobia definition would clearly create a two-tier policy, formalising different treatment of people depending on their religion.” The Labour Party has adopted the definition of Islamophobia produced by the all-party parliamentary group for British Muslims (APPG), which was criticised for putting “grooming gangs” in inverted commas and suggested that using the term in relation to Muslims was racist... The Policy Exchange report also presented evidence that one of the co-creators of the APPG report was a local activist in Yorkshire during the fallout from the grooming scandal. It said Muhbeen Hussain led a boycott of South Yorkshire Police in 2015 over its response to the scandal, and their failure to protect Muslim communities from the far-right. Asked the reason for the boycott, Hussain told the BBC in October 2015: “First and foremost, the police pushed a pernicious lie suggesting that they didn’t make arrests for the grooming scandal because of fears of being called racist.” His group, British Muslim Youth, separately said the police “piggybacked on this hostile environment towards the Muslim community by deflecting the attention of their own failures by scapegoating us”, which the Policy Exchange report’s authors claim amounted to an accusation of Islamophobia... The boycott was criticised by the Labour council leader Chris Read, who said it “looked like trying to position some people as being above the law”. In August 2017, Hussain went on the BBC’s Newsnight to attack Sarah Champion, the Labour MP for Rotherham, for writing in The Sun that Britain “has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”. He said that it had “fuelled” discrimination... Hussain’s uncle Mahroof, resigned as a Labour cabinet member and councillor in February 2015 when the Casey Report said council staff said he had “suppressed discussion” of grooming gangs operating in the town “for fear of upsetting community relations”."

Meme - christoph @Halalcoholism: "Ironically the inverse of this is even more true. A lot of people, who’d normally be outraged about sexual violence against women, have avoided even thinking about the grooming and rape of thousands of young girls because the racial politics of it all seems a bit icky."
Supertanskiii: "Funny how all the men outraged about grooming gangs are silent about Dominique Pelicot, Conor McGregor, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Prince Andrew or Johnny Depp. Almost as if they're just co-opting the rape and abuse of women to be racist isn't it? Yeah, it's exactly that."

"A child molester who abused two Asian girls was rightly given a longer sentence than if his victims had been white because Asian sex crime victims suffer more, a leading judge has ruled.

S A M M Y woodhouse on X - "As a child I was criminalised for being  exploited in Rotherham.   I’m currently fighting to clear my criminal record.   Not only has this prevented me from living freely and applying for certain jobs, I also have to declare it in all my insurance policies which makes it rise in cost.   Not only did they allow me to be raped, they criminalised me for it and I have to pay financially for it just like thousands of victims in the UK."

Winston Marshall on X - "If it’s acceptable for British politicians to kneel for George Floyd, why is it not acceptable for American citizens to tweet about the victims of British rape gangs?  If it’s acceptable for Labour to send 100 staff to the US to campaign for Kamala, why is it not acceptable for American citizens to opine on British politics?  If it’s acceptable for Labour’s leading politicians such as Lammy and Kahn to slander Trump as racist, why is it not acceptable for Americans to criticise British politicians for the systemic betrayal of British children?  If it’s acceptable for Westminster elites to praise Biden/Kamala, why is it unacceptable for American elites to praise Farage?"

Drew Pavlou on X - "Before being appointed a judge in Bradford, Ahmed Nadim represented a Rochdale child rapist in court, arguing that an 8.5 year prison sentence was “disproportionate” as “he did not know the victim was vulnerable.”  Today he sentenced three Pakistani child grooming gang rapists to terms of 6, 7 and 9 years despite sentencing guidelines for Category 1A offences stipulating a starting point of 15 years.  Failed judiciary."

Thread by @redrumlisa on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "The Oldham enquiry was due to be discussed in Oldham council meeting as to why nothing had been actioned in March 2024 it came after 2 motions about Gaza & 1 about buses. They ran out of time to discuss it fully. Gaza was more important to the councillors in Oldham
If you google Oldham Council 14th March you can read the council minutes. Its all there in black & white. The Labour councillor for children safety brought the Gaza motion - Independents brought the grooming motion. You can read it here committees.oldham.gov.uk/documents/s138… At the previous council meeting the leader of the council had said not all 'girls lives were ruined' by the abuse if you read through the minutes the councillors in March 24 acknowledged that statement & rectified it. But it had been said."

PeterSweden on X - "CAN'T MAKE THIS UP The British government is refusing to investigate the grooming gangs But they are working on a new official definition of "Islamophobia" This includes talking about the grooming gangs Will they throwing people in jail for talking about grooming gangs now?"

RadioGenoa on X - "Keir Starmer claims that the problem in England is Islamophobia."
Gad Saad on X - "Thank you @Keir_Starmer for focusing on the real threats to British sovereignty: Islamophobia."

Keir Starmer told to drop controversial Islamophobia definition in wake of grooming gangs scandal - "Critics say a strict definition would curtail free speech and make it harder for whistleblowers to point out certain instances of wrongdoing.  They warn it could lead to a repeat of accusations of racism that were levelled at whistleblowers in Rotherham, Oldham and other towns across the country where there was abuse of largely white children by gangs of men, predominantly of Pakistani heritage.  On Saturday the Government said it was continuing to consider a formal definition of anti-Muslim discrimination, which some campaigners have likened to a “blasphemy law”...   Sources at Angela Rayner’s department, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, told The Telegraph that officials are currently considering whether to introduce a formal definition of Islamophobia. The definition would not be legally binding but organisations would be urged to adopt it.  Though it is not clear which definition would be introduced by the Government, the Labour Party has formally adopted for internal purposes the definition of Islamophobia drafted by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims.  Critics of the APPG definition point to one part which appears to state that using the phrase “sex groomer” in relation to a person of Muslim background may be Islamophobic.  Fiyaz Mughal, the founder of Tell Mama, which monitors anti-Muslim hate, has warned that the Islamophobia definition adopted by Labour in opposition is a “smokescreen” and would “curtail free speech”.  He said: “Any definition needs to have a number of caveats attached which protect the right of individuals to question religion, to question certain behaviours attached to cultural elements and the right to have free speech defended in relation to blasphemy.  “Bad behaviour wherever it is, in whichever religious group, needs to be called out. This does not mean that all Muslim or all Pakistani men are bad. But when there is a concentration of issues within a certain group, we must hold the line in defence of our core values.  “There is a real danger that if they get the definition wrong, it will become the achilles heel of Labour.”   Stephen Evans, chief executive of the National Secular Society, said: “The Government has already acknowledged that the All-Party Parliamentary Group definition of ‘Islamophobia’ doesn’t align with the Equality Act. But the concept of Islamophobia itself remains problematic.  “Conflating criticism of a religion with hatred towards Muslims distorts legitimate dialogue and undermines the vital principle of free expression. Adopting a contentious definition of Islamophobia is more likely to escalate tensions than to address prejudice against religious minorities.”  Ann Cryer, the Labour MP who first raised concerns about grooming gangs, said that local authorities “were petrified of being called racist and so reverted to the default of political correctness”."

We need more than an inquiry to end the gruesome injustice of grooming gangs - "lon Musk’s interest in the grooming gang scandal, characteristically frenetic as it is, shouldn’t be immediately dismissed... the grooming gangs scandal is the worst crime in modern Britain.  When people talk about our international reputation, they should know that instead of frothy Richard Curtis films, we are now known for the racist gang rape of white girls. Take Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager and former Democrat donor.  He expressed disbelief, then suggested that the USA sanction Britain until the gangs are smashed. He’s also called for the use of the death penalty and the deportation of the friends and family of rapists who knew but said nothing.  A decade after the scandal broke, the need for stronger measures is obvious. Not one police officer or council official who was complicit has been jailed. Many rapists have faced only a few years in jail, with early release and a welcome back to their community. A few brave voices excepted, there has been little self-criticism among British-Pakistanis, with the most common response being to lash out. Their claims that those who speak out about the scandal are Islamophobic or racist are then amplified by academics and activists on the left. Grooming gangs continue to operate.  This is the very reason why calls for a national inquiry should be met with some scepticism. Inquiries in places like Rotherham and Telford have put useful information in the public domain and allowed for estimates of the number of victims. However, they have failed to achieve lasting change. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse lasted seven years and had four chairmen. One of the investigations was to look into “child exploitation by organised networks”, ostensibly including grooming gangs; but five of the six areas chosen to look at were overwhelmingly white, while areas where the grooming gangs had already been found were deliberately excluded. The final report only mentions Rotherham once and limply recommends creating a Minister for Children.  It wouldn’t matter anyway, as prior inquiries found the rules were often broken. Take a case from Bradford, where a 15-year-old girl was placed as a foster child in the family of her rapist and made to marry her abuser in an Islamic ceremony with her social worker present. During this period she was forced to convert to Islam and treated as a domestic slave. So what can we do?  Those in positions of authority who are culpable should face consequences. A public sector blacklist should be introduced, barring those on it from employment by the state or working on any project reliant on taxpayer funds for a period of several years.  We should shame people with the scale of the crimes, to ensure they never happen again.  Whistleblowers like Jayne Senior and Maggie Oliver should be elevated to the House of Lords, there should be a public memorial, and schools should receive educational visits to show how the anti-white racism of the grooming gangs is as bad as any other form of prejudice. We also must recognise that these cases are a result of ill-considered immigration policy. When people come here, they bring the good and the bad of their home with them, in what the economist Garett Jones calls a “culture transplant”. This is a wake-up call to think carefully about future immigrants, to ensure they come from cultures compatible with British values.  Too much immigration allows the creation of enclaves that sustain the culture of the home country and prevent assimilation. That’s how you end up with places like Blackburn, where some Asian schoolchildren think that Britain is 50 to 90 per cent Asian. It might seem unfair, but this means restricting family immigration, as marrying people from the home country, many of whom are close relatives, maintains this insularity. It should become the norm that grooming gang members who can be deported are. Under already existing visa penalty powers in the 2022 Nationality and Borders Act, the government can force countries like Pakistan to take back their criminal citizens by taxing remittances, which from Britain alone make up around 1 per cent of Pakistan’s GDP, and blocking the issuing of visas to their nationals or to government officials who want to travel here.  If human rights law frustrates this, then a deportation bill with as many ouster clauses as necessary ought to do the job. Should the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act still prevent it, that only further demonstrates their pro-criminal nature and the pressing need to get rid of them."
This is why left wingers denounce Elon Musk as the most evil human being alive

Meme - Sam Ashworth-Hayes @SAshworthHayes: "When a child in Bradford "married" her abuser in a traditional Islamic wedding, her social worker attended the ceremony.  The council then arranged for the girl to be fostered by his parents."
"It was whilst she was still living in the residential placement that Anna began to wear full Muslim dress, adopted a Musiim name and told CSC that she had been married to the adult male 'boyfriend' in a Nikah ceremony. (Nikah is a Muslim wedding at which the bride does not have to be present as long as she sends two witnesses to the drawn-up agreement). Anna was aged 15. The willingness of some professionals to legitimise this wedding is clear from agency records. The adult male was thereafter referred to by professionals as her 'husband' and his parents as her 'mother-in-law' and 'father-in-law'. The 'Nikah' marriage far from being challenged and perceived as coercive or exploitative was accepted and Anna's social worker at that time attended the ceremony. The decision to consider and approve a fostering placement with the adult male's parents is difficult to understand, The adult male was her abuser. It was also clear that she was not regarded with respect and affection by her abuser's family. In fact, they were also controlling and abusing her."
Weird. We keep being told that Sharia is not practised in Western countries and only far right conspiracy theorists spreading misinformation claim that

Sir Keir Starmer accused of snubbing grooming gang whistleblower - "The Prime Minister had been urged to lend his support to Jayne Senior, a youth services manager who was instrumental in publicising the plight of young white girls who were the victims of sexual grooming by men of mainly Pakistani heritage.  In 2020, when Sir Keir was leader of the opposition, he was asked to meet with Ms Senior, who was a Labour councillor at the time.  He was also urged to start an inquiry into Labour councillors accused of launching a “campaign to undermine her and damage her reputation in order to deflect from their failure to protect children”.  But his office declined both the meeting and to launch an inquiry. Ms Senior told The Telegraph that she found the response “shocking” and “dismissive”... “In opposition, Labour were up there shouting for women, for girls, for child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic abuse – and then the minute that they become elected, where are they?”  Georgina Halford-Hall, the chief executive of Whistleblowers UK, wrote to Sir Keir in 2020, explaining that Ms Senior brought the issue of grooming gangs in Rotherham to national attention... “As a result of Jayne’s campaign to expose these crimes some local elected members in the Labour Party and others responsible for the failures found themselves under scrutiny. This resulted in the resignations or removal of all cabinet members, the leader of the council, the police and crime commissioner in 2015.  “This has led to what can only be described as a hate campaign against Jayne where she has repeatedly been accused of wrongdoing in the absence of any evidence.”  Ms Halford-Hall urged Sir Keir to launch an investigation into the treatment of Ms Senior by fellow Labour members and asked him to meet with them.  However, his office responded saying that a meeting would not be possible, and declined to launch an investigation, saying it was not relevant to his role as leader of the party. The following year, Ms Senior resigned as a Labour councillor, saying that she had been “the subject of ceaseless harassment and intimidation” and had received no support from the leader of the council.  In her resignation letter, she said: “There has been a systematic and longstanding campaign to undermine me as a person, as a Labour councillor and as a long-standing member and supporter of the Labour Party.”  Last week, it was revealed that Labour blocked a national public inquiry into the grooming scandal in which thousands of vulnerable girls were raped and sexually abused by gangs of mainly British Pakistani men... Maggie Oliver, the whistleblower who helped uncover widespread abuse in Rochdale, said Sir Keir was as “guilty as anyone” over failures to address grooming gangs.  Ms Halford-Hall said: “Again we see the shameful resolve of the whole establishment to put as many obstacles in the way of justice for the 2,000+ victims and whistleblowers as possible. Politics and party loyalty continue to be priorities over the safety and wellbeing of children.  “Speaking up came at a very high price for whistleblowers like Jayne Senior who turned to the former director of public prosecutions to step in to protect her from members of his own party and the police who were determined to silence her.”"
Time to prosecute the whistleblowers for Islamophpbia!
