As everyone reading this is aware, the grooming gang scandal has blown up big time. Some people have been mentioning this for a long time but were labelled far right. Now, however, it is well out in the open. The labelling is still going on, though.
What is interesting is that ordinary people are righting indignant en masse. So is our prime minister. He is not angry at the cover-ups, though. He is not angry at the people who enabled the industrial-scale rape of white girls. He is angry at Elon Musk for talking about it. We’ve even had the chief of the Met threatening to extradite Musk to face our laughable justice system for posting hurty words about Two Tier, Free Gear, Never Here Kier. He is rightly being excoriated on social media as well.
What then becomes interesting is TTK’s enablers on social media, who are far more concerned about ‘far-right radicalisation’ than they are about the victims of horrible crimes. They then go onto social media and try to defend the indefensible. The ratioing they receive is good to see, but still they try. What it does do is expose the enemy class for who they are. The apologists for evil are out in the open as Musk has lifted the stone for all to see.
The depressing thing about all of this is what can be done? The government was elected in a loveless landslide. Our electoral system gave them five years at the helm. A different system won’t necessarily give us a better result.
I dunno. We live in interesting times. Maybe there will be mass prosecutions of people throughout the establishment who were part of this. I live in hope.
I think that the all governments have many skeletons in many closets. Each new Parliament ‘agrees’ not to prise the doors open if their own closets are uninspected. This self interest keeps all the doors closed.
But the world is changing. The old Elite are losing ground and they are no longer able to rely on their ‘opposition’ to keep the doors shut. And now the doors are swinging open and the skeletons are tumbling out into the daylight.
Starmer and his gang are perhaps no more complicit than any other previous government – but the old excuses and misdirections are failing in a world moving away from the Left. Perhaps Labour is the last hurrah of the old Elite. Lets hope so, and bring prosecutions to the perpetrators and closure for the survivors.
The Tories could have done anything about it in their 13 year reign but didn’t, and so have left themselves open to ‘you did nothing either’ attacks.
It’s just more proof of the Uniparty.
“…bring prosecutions to the perpetrators…” and to those enablers who permitted it and those who turned a blind eye.
Funny how our elite class love rubbing shoulders and photo ops with the Klaus Soros Gates of the world and all the influence their wallets bring maybe even potential reward jobs for services rendered, but Elon’s tweet machine is beyond the pale.
I doubt Elon is doing this without an approving nod from Trump.
It’s funny that apparently being concerned about young girls being raped makes you “far right”. That feels a very strange stance for Starmer and the left to take; by implication the left do NOT care about young girls being raped. Could rebound wonderfully.
That appears to be exactly what is happening.
They seem determined to make ‘far right’ have as little power as ‘racist’.
Is it the case that the vast majority of people who still get their news from the old media have only just found out what’s been going on? Samizdata have just posted a list of old posts on the subject going back decades.

I know it is different times and different attitudes , but had this sort of thing been happening to my sisters or any of their friends I am certain that their fathers/uncles/brothers would have sorted out the problem, even at the cost of a jail term.
Some tried, only to find themselves facing the full might of the justice system that was denied to the victims.
That’s as much ‘the real scandal’ here. None of those who aided and abetted the rapes have faced any action at all.
This primeval sewage wasn’t just protected, it was actively brought here and weaponised.
“We’ll rub the rights nose in diversity “.
Whether there exists an actual “smoking gun” of such calculated intent I doubt, but the sheer obtuseness – and predictability – of the deflection and denial.
But there are hundreds, thousands probably, who actively refused to help, who could have done something in dozens of individual cases and didn’t.
Whose orders were they obeying and how long before one ends up in jail for “islamophobia”?
That would be quite interesting.
Re defending the indefensible:
Telegraph yesterday:
‘Prof Jay’s inquiry [2022] noted that “many of the high-profile child sexual exploitation prosecutions have involved groups of men from minority ethnic communities” but a lack of data means it is “impossible to know whether any particular ethnic group is over-represented as perpetrators of child sexual exploitation by networks”.
Guardian, 2020
‘ A new Home Office report admits grooming gangs are not a ‘Muslim problem’
The two-year study by the Home Office makes very clear that there are no grounds for asserting that Muslim or Pakistani-heritage men are disproportionately engaged in such crimes’
Looks like a classic case of ‘absence of evidence…’
Further research shows that the guardian article conveniently ignores its authors’ involvement with the Home Office report:
‘This project* has led to significant impact, including influencing policymakers – in December 2020, the Home Office published a report citing Waqas’ joint research with Dr Ella Cockbain of University College London confirming there was no evidence that one ethnic group is disproportionately engaged in crimes of child sexual exploitation.’
*’utilising qualitative and ethnographic methods to explore the racialisation of what came to be known in the UK as the ‘grooming gang’ child sexual exploitation scandals’
https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/staff/dr-waqas-tufail/
I find that bit about ‘influencing policymakers’ deeply disturbing, especially given the current headlines.
Statistics selectively used to give you the answer you wanted.
What if white people primarily trade images of kiddies and muslims rape girls. Neither is good but they are not directly comparable in terms of harm.
Then there is the number of victims. If the Pakistani population is ~3%, does that correspond to the proportion of victims of child exploitation?
I’m going to suggest not – there are estimated to be 250,000 victims of the muslim rape gangs which would make the number of abused children in the UK something like 8,250,000 (which would be 1 in 8 of the population).
The toddlers being abused in order to be photographed might feel differently. If there was no trade in such images, there would be far fewer toddlers being abused.
And if there were no pakistanis in the country there would be far fewer white girls being raped and tortured.
Dr Cockbain and her associates were on the radar of myself and others years ago. They have played a very large part in minimising these crimes and diverting attention from the perpetrators. https://www.fahrenheit211.net/2020/03/12/guest-post-the-devils-in-the-detail-leftist-academic-denialism-and-the-islamic-rape-gang-scandal/
Turns out most of the front bench – including ‘Sir’ Kier – didn’t vote for overturning, they abstained.
I wonder why?
Dear Mr Longrider
I discovered this clip of Lord Austin questioning the then Chief Constable of South Yorkshire David Crompton on rape gangs in 2014:
https://x.com/koshercockney/status/1875183570110570666
Apparently South Yorkshire police officers think that a 12 year old girl can given informed consent to sex. The relevant statute says otherwise, but seemingly this does not apply to muslim men for some reason.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/5
A search of the BBC’s website for David Crompton yielded these results:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=+Chief+Constable+David+Crompton&d=HOMEPAGE_PS
It is interesting that he resigned the day Prof Drew’s report on the police response to rape gangs was published, but the forced resignation supposedly resulted from the Hilsborough inquests, which he subsequently challenged.
While for Lord Austin:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=lord+austin&d=HOMEPAGE_PS
No mention of his questioning Crompton.
