Sam Ashworth-Hayes on X - "It's extremely striking that the grooming gangs report essentially says the Government needs to act now to stop councils and police forces shredding incriminating files"
Sam Ashworth-Hayes on X - "Not an unjustified concern, incidentally - important data was destroyed or stolen in Rotherham. Even when it belonged to the Home Office and was kept behind locked security doors."
Raja Miah on X - "The Rape Gang Inquiry is a stitch-up. Anne Longfield is not independent. She is a Labour peer, a career insider whose path runs from Blair’s Downing Street to Starmer’s inquiry. While Pakistani rape gangs operated across Labour-run towns, she was inside government shaping policy. As Children’s Commissioner, she endorsed the reports that washed ethnicity out of the crime and made the truth unspeakable. The panel then includes:
- a police inspector from the system that failed to stop the abuse
- a council chief from authorities where grooming gangs operated under Labour denial
No judge. No outsiders. No independence. This is the state investigating itself. Survivors have been betrayed before the inquiry has even begun. And no one should be surprised.

There's a video coming later this evening. Not sure if it will be live on YouTube or pre recorded and just shared here. Unfortunately, the livestreams are exhausting and simply do not translate into sign ups. You can see for yourselves what the government is doing. And as it stands, we just don't have the numbers to fight back and win."
Joe Rich on X - "Keir Starmer’s appointment of Anne Longfield as Chair of the Grooming Gangs Inquiry is disgraceful so shortly after bizarrely making her a Labour Peer. But there’s so much more to it than that. Longfield and her close friend Sue Berelowitz produced one of 2015’s biggest scandals."
Child protection chief in new payoff scandal - "A child protection chief who was criticised for failing to speak out about widespread sexual abuse by British Pakistani gangs has quit her job with a six-figure payoff and been immediately rehired on almost £1,000 a day. Sue Berelowitz, who was deputy children’s commissioner for England and chief executive at the quango responsible for protecting vulnerable young people, took voluntary redundancy from her £99,333-a-year post on April 30 and received a severance payment of £134,000. The following day she was rehired as a consultant to continue leading an inquiry into child sexual abuse in the family environment, a role she has held since last July... Oliver Berman, a spokesman for the Office of the Children’s Commissioner, said that the severance payment was necessary as Ms Berelowitz’s post had “ceased to exist” and it represented value for money because the quango would save £164,000 a year. “Sue’s departure was agreed as part of plans to flatten the organisation’s management structure”, with her duties largely transferring to the new chief, Anne Longfield."

Bernie on X - "🚨 Every single thing Labour does is a trap. Labour has appointed Baroness Anne Longfield to chair the national grooming-gangs inquiry. Yet she doesn’t look very independent to me! She has spent her career inside the same system that failed these children. She worked under Blair, has long-standing links to Harriet Harman, and as Children’s Commissioner operated entirely within the UN-style children’s rights framework. She also publicly supports Labour’s Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, including the proposal for a single unique identifier for every child and expanded cross-state data-sharing … effectively digital ID from birth. She wont expose the system that failed, she will recommend expanding it. Her “solution” will be exactly what the state already wants: More data. More control. More surveillance. All to “protect children” from grooming gangs. Betcha 🚨"
I’ve seen how civil servants work. The Home Office will never stop the grooming gangs - "Over half a decade of working with the Home Office on countering extremism, I saw it for myself, time and time again: a civil service culture that instinctively resists scrutiny of anything involving religion or ethnicity. The moment you even suggest that the ethnicity or faith of perpetrators might be one factor among many worth examining, certain civil servants recoil. They tell you that looking into it might “inflame community tensions”, or “increase hate crimes against Muslims” or “cause policing issues”. These arguments become a convenient way to close down honest discussion. That’s the exact approach that now appears to be dominating the Government’s inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal, and I worry it means that the state will never truly tackle the underlying issues. I’ve spent much of my working life engaging various government departments on issues of hate crime, community cohesion and extremism. In 2012 I set up Tell Mama, an organisation which monitors anti-Muslim hate and supports victims. This meant countless meetings with the Home Office to highlight groups whose values and world view were at direct odds with the values of our nation; groups who were willing to inflame division and tensions through their actions. I would regularly write to Home Office and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) officials to highlight report findings and the deeply divisive videos and content that Islamist groups were putting out into the public and social media space. In particular back then – in the mid 2010s – I was alarmed to discover that Prevent coordinators, the people tasked with countering extremism, were regularly engaging with what I saw as extremist groups. On countless occasions I put it to the civil servants in charge of counter-extremism that it seemed deeply antithetical to the cause of counter-extremism to engage with groups who believed in Sharia marriage, polygamy and openly attacked Muslims who engaged with Jews. Some of these groups didn’t fully agree with the democratic structures of our country – this was serious stuff and especially when they were willing to use conflicts in the Middle East to inflame tensions in the UK. When I raised it, though, the response was a wall of polite obstruction. Each local authority, I was told, makes its own decisions. There might be legal risks in naming these organisations. Some civil servants insisted these were simply “legitimate Muslim groups” who should be included in community engagement, as though their form of Islamic interpretations were “normative” Islam. It was a masterclass in bureaucratic resistance. And behind every excuse was an ideology: a belief that acknowledging the problem might undermine social cohesion. A handful of civil servants understood the risks, but most preferred to look away. It taught me a lesson that feels painfully relevant to the current inquiry into grooming gangs. When civil servants are driven by ideology rather than evidence, difficult truths are buried, and real people pay the price. Some of these people are still there, working in the Home Office and MHCLG today. The problem as I see it goes all the way back to Gordon Brown’s government. That period, post-Blair, was when the themes of social cohesion and community harmony became dominant within government. The old Department for Communities and Local Government (now MHCLG) grew out of that thinking, and over time it embedded a particular type of civil servant – people whose entire careers have been shaped by what I call “kumbaya politics”. By that I mean the kind of world view where everyone sits around holding hands, pretending that the world is fine and that we must never look too closely at uncomfortable realities for fear of upsetting someone. Nowhere is that more entrenched than in the MHCLG. Within that department, there’s a powerful narrative that says: anything which risks making one community look bad must be resisted. And when that mindset filters down through advisers and policy officials, it becomes impossible to have a transparent, evidence-based conversation about complex social issues. In the Home Office there are some who will say that even using the term “Islamist extremism” is offensive or counterproductive – this, despite the fact that hundreds of British citizens have been killed by Islamist extremists on our own soil. If they can’t even bring themselves to say the words, how are they going to face the even more sensitive questions that arise around grooming gangs? This is the machinery that survivors of grooming are up against. A civil service very sensitive to being labelled as racist and reluctant to “open up racial divides” by looking into the issue in detail. Sadly these themes emerged in the statements of the abuse survivors who resigned from their roles in the Government inquiry this week. When I saw that one of the women, “Elizabeth” from Rotherham, quit on the grounds that she felt “selective narratives [were] being promoted – ones that appear to serve particular agendas, especially around issues of race and the narrative of widening the scope”, I was completely unsurprised. Survivors want results and openness, but what they’re meeting instead is a political and bureaucratic system that prizes optics over truth. The survivors are colliding head-on with a civil service that, for decades, has prioritised image-management and social cohesion above honesty. And it’s not just ideology – it’s also groupthink. Over the years, a small circle of advisers from within Muslim communities have come to dominate this space. Many are closely aligned with the Labour Party, and they sing the same tune: that Islamophobia is the overriding issue facing Muslims, that Islamism should not be discussed, and that grooming has nothing whatsoever to do with culture or faith. I have worked for 25 years fighting anti-Muslim hatred and measuring its rise – I know the reality of that threat, but I also know that this narrow narrative has suffocated all other perspectives. Dissenters like me, people who have challenged both the far-Right and Islamist extremism, are no longer invited in. Those who are, remain locked in a self-reinforcing cycle, telling ministers exactly what they expect to hear. And so the same mistakes are repeated, again and again. If this inquiry is to mean anything, it must shine a light not only on the perpetrators, but on the machinery of resistance that has allowed these failures to persist for so long. Until we confront the ideological filters within the civil service itself, we will never get to the truth which the British public deserve."
Meme - Carol Ross @carol _105543566: "The big bad R word being g flung around like confetti has become absolutely meaningless."
"If you think suggesting child rape is linked to ethnicity isn't blatant racism then you're probably quite racist, sorry to fling that word around again like confetti"
JUICE: "Well it is in this particular case. What now?"
"Suspect rate of men per 1,000 for historical (1997-2013) non-familial CSAE (Operation Stovewood) in the Borough of Rotherham by ethnicity. Nearly 1 in 10 Pakistan men of the average population in Rotherham are suspected through Operation Stovewood"
The same people who claim we can't link ethnicity to rape keep screaming about white people raping the most. So you can link ethnicity to rape. But just one
The Punished Epistemologist on X - "the rotherham population in 2011 was 257,000, statistically speaking 7.3 percent of those were 10-15 (age group of basically all the victims), the victims are girls, and the 7.3 percent figure includes boys, so it’s 3.15 percent of the population being 10-15 year old girls or slightly below 8100 people. With 1400 victims, that amounts to more than 17 percent of the aged 10-15 white female rotherham population being raped by Pakistani grooming gangs. This doesn’t adjust for major underreporting"
Zoomer on X - "If you have a daughter in Rotherham as a White person then she has almost a 20% chance of being raped by Pakistanis when she’s between the ages of 10 and 15. That is literally an incomprehensible statistic. Horrifying to the point of immediate radicalisation. This post needs to be everywhere. No response to this is too drastic. These people all need to go. The laws need to be changed and those even remotely involved need to be put to death, legally and publicly."
Owen Jones on X - ""We must identify and address any links between ethnicity, religion and culture - and child rape." This is a Labour minister. What. The. Fuck."
Hunter Ash on X - "These people simultaneously insist on the importance of multiculturalism and react with sputtering outrage to the suggestion that meaningful differences between cultures could exist."
Samantha Smith on X - "Powerful people from all parties failed to protect girls like me from being raped and abused. But Labour were worst of all. It was in Labour-led Telford where I was asked by a CSE detective if I had “consented to sexual activity” at any point. It was local Labour politicians that called Pakistani-Muslim grooming gang survivors “paki shaggers” and “white slags”. It was in Labour-run Rochdale and Rotherham where local services turned little girls away and handed them straight back to their abusers because they didn’t want to be called racist. Labour councils. Labour politicians. Labour councillors. Labour-led local authorities. Labour-controlled police forces. So long as Labour is the sole leader of the National Grooming Gangs Inquiry, there is no chance of justice or change. The appointment of a Labour Peer with no legal experience to chair an investigation into the worst legal and systemic failure this country has ever seen? It’s a farce. Labour cannot be the face of justice. Not when they were the architects of the very atrocities we are fighting to expose. Nothing will change, nothing will get better, and we will be letting Labour mark their own homework and sweep their corruption under the rug with the veneer of an “impartial inquiry”. The only way the inquiry stands a chance of succeeding is if Reform, the Tories, survivors, apolitical experts, whistleblowers and legal professionals are given a seat at the table. And the only way that will happen is by tearing up their current “plan” and starting from scratch. Without Labour at the helm. It must be cross-party. It must be expert and survivor-led. And, most importantly, it must be free from the Labour Party’s iron grip."

Raja Miah on X - "This is not an AI image. It was taken recently at a political meeting of a group who go by the name 'the Oldham Group. Led by Pakistani men, with multiple links to organised crime networks, they are attempting to wrestle control of the council. Want to know how towns like Oldham get captured by Pakistani Sectarians and Islamists? How Pakistani cartels, sectarians, and Islamists, working with corrupt councillors and bent coppers, turn working-class communities into their personal territories? I’ve spent seven years documenting exactly this in Oldham. I’ve been arrested for it, smeared as a racist for it, dragged through the courts for it. And I’d do it all again because what I found terrifies them more than any riot ever could. The same rotten pattern is happening across Britain: organised Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Islamist networks, complicit officials, and so-called community leaders who’ve carved up our towns between them. They thought no one would notice. They thought no one would speak up. They were wrong. My work strips away their lies and shows people exactly how the game is rigged. I name names. I follow the money. I expose the cover-ups. And I give ordinary people the tools to take their communities back - lawfully, systematically, relentlessly. They want me silenced because informed communities can’t be controlled. Once you see how the system really works, you stop playing by their rules and you learn to fight back in ways they never imagined. You can back this fight and support me as I train communities across the UK to mobilise, or you can watch where you live go the same way as the rest.

Overton on X - "This is Bill Maher at his best. Maher dragged Patton Oswalt out of his bubble and forced him to confront the brutal reality of the UK’s immigration crisis. He exposed the horrifying details of Muslim grooming gangs, while Oswalt tried to play dumb. Maher didn’t let him.
MAHER: “What’s going on in England right is a lot of that.”
OSWALT: “What’s going on in England?”
MAHER: “Again, not in the bubble…a lot of violence, protests, immigration.” “Andrew Sullivan, for example, says places that my grandfather would not even recognize anymore as British.” “Like, immigration is great, anything can be too much. It’s become ‘Islamicized’ to put it briefly.”
Oswalt tried to hand-wave it away.
OSWALT: “Anything can be too much, but a lot of times the way that things are framed and represented, is also amplified so that they can make their point.”
Maher hit him with the bombshell.
MAHER: “But do you know about…the grooming scandal?”
OSWALT: “No.”
MAHER: “See, that’s a big story!”
He then laid out the details the left refuses to confront: “I’m talking about Pakistani men, who were immigrants, who were grooming poor, impoverished White girls, mostly, and making them into prostitutes and sex slaves.” “Like really nasty shit, that would pass for more normal in a traditional Pakistani society, where women are not considered equal citizens.”
Maher then delivered his most devastating point:
“And if you don’t understand that, and that gender apartheid is the number one issue that you woke people should be concerned with, but seem not to be, then right away we’re not really seeing the world as the same way.” “I’m seeing it much more clearly.” “Gender apartheid should be your NUMBER ONE issue, if you really care about oppression, like a lot…I’m talking about hundreds of millions of the world’s women.” “And it’s mostly because of the tenets of Islam, to be perfectly honest about it.” “In the interest of DEI, they are allowing practices that are so illiberal—which is the great irony—this is the LEAST liberal thing you could be is treating women as a second-class citizen and getting away with shit like this.”"
Peachy Keenan on X - ">Be a Hollywood male feminist who thinks Trump is bad for women

The best bit is that the establishment supported it. Left wingers like to claim that it's awful and unforgivable for the police to kill one black American (e.g. George Floyd, pretending that none of the deaths are justified) but okay for blacks to kill 10,000 of each other, because the state is supposed to protect people so it is betraying the people's trust. But if you point out the British state condoned and even enabled grooming gangs, you're racist and hypocritical, because white people abused children too
Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 on X - "Baroness Casey: "I found the word Pakistani Tipp-exed out, and I thought whoever did that was inadvertently giving ammunition to the EDL".

Russian Garbage Human on X - "A 12 year old girl was orally r*ped outside a police station while her sister watched.
