First, that as the Casey report acknowledges, the crimes really are mostly committed by ethnic minority men, mostly Pakistani, against white-majority children. And Labour are, far more than any other party, the standard-bearers for “diversity”. On this front, Helen Lewis spelled out the problem with commendable clarity earlier this year: no one on the Left wants a “national conversation” about the rape gangs — because so many of the possible solutions are, from this perspective, prima facie unacceptable:
“Would it include calls for the mass deportation of migrants, as many on Europe’s emergent Right want? […] Should Britain enact a “Muslim ban” or reject asylum seekers from Muslim-majority countries? When liberals are still queasy about engaging with this topic, it’s because they sense that these shadow arguments lie just out of sight.”
And second, it’s not just about race relations. It’s also about the public sector, of which Labour has long presented itself as a champion. And the extent of institutional complicity, already clear, is reiterated in Casey’s report: they all knew.
The police, especially, knew. Victims were blamed, or even arrested: in one notorious incident, a father arrived outside the house in which his own daughter was being raped, called the police, and was then himself arrested. In other incidents, girls would press charges only to be immediately contacted by their rapists with threats: events strongly suggestive of police corruption. One officer in Rotherham told a desperate father that the town “would erupt” if the crimes were exposed; another, according to the 2014 Jay report, admitted these atrocities have been ongoing for 30 years but “with it being Asians, we can’t afford for this to be coming out”.
Care homes also knew. One Bradford girl reported all the way back in 2014 that the home where she ought to have found safety and respite didn’t just look the other way — when the men who raped and sold her arrived outside the home, the staff would tell her to “go out and see them”. Councils knew, too: Birmingham was suppressing reports into looked-after children being raped and trafficked 30 years ago. In Oldham, the notorious leader of one rape gang was appointed “Welfare Officer” after a girl had already come forward with allegations against him. How many teachers knew? If Dominic Cummings is to be believed, the Department of Education knew.
Read the whole thing. Nothing less than a counter-revolution will fix this.
“Nothing less than a counter-revolution will fix this.”
Yet certain folks here wouldn’t countenance Tommy Robinson, let alone defend him. Yes, I know, he’s not your kind.
You refined types aren’t ready for a counter-revolution.
Henry Cybulski it was not just “Tommy Robinson” – it was also Mark Steyn who does NOT have a “working class” accent (the real reason that a lot of people dislike T.R. – the man could just read out a railway timetable and a lot of English people would still hate him, because of the sound-of-his-voice) – GB News betrayed Mark Steyn, to please the establishment leftists of “Ofcom”, and now pretends he did not exist and that the matter of the Rape Gangs was discovered by a young man by the name of Peters.
Mr Peters does not discuss Islam, the Koran, the Hadiths, and 14 centuries of history, and neither will the “Inquiry”.
Very much like the Covid “Inquiry” (GB News also betrayed Mark Steyn over his exposure of the harm done by the so called Covid “vaccine” injections – and Richard Tice of Reform was also involved in this mess) the Rape Gangs “Inquiry” will be an elaborate exercise in missing-the-point.
Nothing, useful, will be done – after all even the Reform Party holds that demographic change is inevitable (Mr Farage has said so – he understands that immigration is NOT now the issue, that the issue is natural increase – but he holds that nothing can be done about demographic change caused by natural increase), and that there is nothing wrong with Islam – apart from some people “misinterpreting” Islam, or “twisting” it.
So that is that – Britain and some other Western nations, are, eventually, going to go. Just as some other Christian lands went centuries ago.
It must be stressed that the actions of the Rape Gangs would not have been a surprise to, say, John Bright, Gladstone or Winston Churchill.
But people who discuss a certain faith in the way that these men did, would now be sent to prison in the United Kingdom.
So one must not be too harsh on Nigel Farage and the others – they do not want to be treated as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, “Tommy Robinson”, and others have been – either openly sent to prison for what they have said about Islam or “stitched up” (by our wonderful legal system) for some other offense, “mortgage fraud” or “contempt of court”, with everyone knowing the real reason they are being sent to prison is their opinions.
Is it really worth having your life ruined, and the lives of your family ruined, for a lost cause? And Britain, and some other Western nations, does appear to be a lost cause.
Yes, he’s not my kind, because even though I agree with him on somethings, I don’t on others. I am willing to admit I fell for some misinformation about him & I do think he is a political prisoner, but some of the reasons I distrust him were nevertheless rooted in fact.
The British National Party were highlighting grooming gangs in places like Rochdale over 20 years ago, long before Tommy Robinson became a notable figure. IIRC, the fact that they were doing this was one of the main reasons the other parties and the police and media were overall keen to downplay or ignore the issue because it was seen as far more important to not let the BNP prosper even if some working class white women had to be thrown to the wolves.
An exception was the Labour Keighley MP Ann Carter, who as this 2002 article shows was willing to condemn the criminal behaviour of Asian gangs in her area.
Bring it on. Although ceasing to pay for migrants would get rid of them as easily as deportation. Leave the ECHR and pass a law stating that arriving illegally or overstaying a visa means immediate deportation. Instead of a Muslim ban, we could ban new mosques, cousin marriage, chain migration, the burkha and calling for the slaughter of Jews*. And rigorously investigate and punish electoral fraud and council corruption. That would do the trick.
However, as a first move, I’d like to see a number of coppers, care home workers and civil servants hanged. Probably best to do a few hundred top immigration lawyers too.
*some people claim this is already illegal, but I have seen no evidence to support that view.
Exactly so. Enacting some enabling laws that make the welfare state very discriminatory (in the good sense of the word) would work wonders & result in widespread self-remigration. What’s not to like?
Paul Marks, funny you should bring up Mark Steyn.
From a mini-spiel put out today by the “niche Canadian”:
“After those two brave, articulate women up on stage finished telling their stories of almost surreal depravity, Steyn’s audience – Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians, Americans, Brits – sat in horrified silence. Not quite silence; a lot of people were crying. A question hung in the incredulous air. How could the UK have allowed such monstrosities to happen to its kids and then allow it to be covered up for years until victims-turned-campaigners, like the two Samanthas, fought tooth and nail to bring it to public attention?
Clearly, that’s what was bothering the American. He was desperate to understand why British men had not protected their girls.”
Indeed, where are those British men who should have been protecting their girls? Waiting for a counter-revolution that probably won’t happen?
Perry de Havilland, I’d love to hear what those rooted facts are re Tommy Robinson.
I guess all that vetting and ‘safeguarding’ and Criminal Background Checks before having anything to do with children really worked, eh?
A classic case if looking for the lost car keys under the street light, but, hey, at least we Did Something, right?

Why not beheadings? That way, their heads can be put on pikes all along Whitehall; with the overflow on Parliament Square.
Pour décourager les autres.
There’s this article.
I think TR, like Nick Griffin, have been vindicated regarding grooming gangs. OTOH, it is quite clear both have serious flaws and probably unwise to throw large amounts of support and resources their way.
Exactly my view.
I don’t begrudge voters who voted for the BNP in the 2000s though. They usually did well in working class areas that New Labour took for granted and had lost interest in, and the Tories and Lib Dems showed barely any interest in them. I know I regret the multiple times I voted for the Tories between 2004 and 2019, knowing they were shit (‘but best of all the shit options’) and still doing it despite them just getting worse and worse.

Firstly, because the Pakistanis targeted “vulnerable” girls, i.e. girls without fathers. Secondly because the Pakistanis had the protection of the state, so the men would be fighting the state, never a winning proposition. Thirdly the assaults happened in the heart of Muslim ghettos so you would need an army, and finally because it’s potentially a suicide mission. The state can send them to a Muslim controlled prison to be murdered.
The despicable lack of public outrage didn’t help their case either. Add to that the odour of class war, these were largely the children of “untouchables”.
Does seem one reason (in addition to fears of lawsuits) the elite and police did nothing about Jimmy Savile while he was alive despite knowing what he was up to: he mostly preyed on the vulnerable,ill and poor.
Martin – regarding Jimmy Savile, apart from his victims mostly being from the underclasses, he was also very careful to operate within State entities which, at that time, had virtually religious status in the UK – the NHS and the BBC. He knew that their default response to scandal and charges of impropriety would always, always be to deny and cover up, and the authorities would always, always defer to them – and he was right.

I have read a little about this whole situation, and I have limited how much I read about it since it is so horrible and there is literally nothing I can do about it. But from what I hear a fairly large number of people have gone to jail for their actions and there are a lot of prosecutions ongoing. Maybe the prison sentences are inadequate — I mean what sentence is adequate for what some of these men, and god help us, women did? But at least that is something.
What I don’t see, and what I think in a sense is more important, is anyone in authority suffering any consequences for this. And there seemed to be a LOT of people who draw a government salary who should at least be looking for new work, if not facing jailtime. Terrible things happen all the time because there are a small percentage of the population who are psychopaths. But when we create systems to capture these people and they fail to do so in the most egregious way there needs to be some serious consequences.
I think perhaps the most terrifying thing of all is that if the same thing happened today, I doubt the police and childcare agencies would do much different. In fact exactly the same thing could be going on in Bristol or Blackpool or Ipswich or Hull or some other city right now, and I’m not convinced we’d know about it, or if the police would do anything differently.
I’m fairly certain that the true believers in multiculturalism within that government view the rapists as just another culture of the world, as valid and meritorious as any other, and so understandable in its actions, and also view the raped girls as poor white trash and thus unworthy of concern.
But now, even they can see the trend of world opinion and judgment, and so they will be closing ranks and hiding their friends from consequence on account of their understandable and laudatory attempts to quash this evil racist anti-POC impulse.
No bureaucrat minds will be changed, but marketing techniques will be adjusted.
It appears this is about more than just sexual exploitation. The families involved are akin to the mafia. These families are criminals with drug dealing and other activity.They are mostly from a distinct area. I’d say police and politicians might be corrupted by them.

That’s not an old myth. It forms the basis of Islamic Jurisprudence in the UK now.
Aisha was betrothed to Muhammed at the age of 6. The “marriage” was consumated when she was 9. She is a key figure in the history of Islam and the above quotes (there is one in the link) are key parts of Islamic teaching. Peadophilia is baked into Islam. The real disgrace is that this cannot be openly said because it would be racist or something even though it is openly proclaimed by Islamic scripture which also holds that the example of the behaviour of Muhammed is to be emulated because he is, of course, the most perfect human who ever lived.
I don’t blame the true believers in Islam as much as the non-Muslims who would have me arrested for openly stating what is actually in core Islamic texts.
Stuart,
Yes, but also are they gonna do a bust on the Pakia if it will cause a riot or they’ll get sacked for “profiling”? Who is almost certainly complicit in this “white slavery” are the females in the community. It means their young men can get their rocks off without any dishonour being brought to the families. The non-Muslim girls are merely “uncovered flesh” and “war booty”. That is also baked into Islam.
I’m not saying all Muslims are evil but all good Muslims are.
Martin, Perry de Havilland, I read the Pimlico Journal article. I didn’t find it particularly convincing, especially when it included the following willfull blindness idiocy:
“On many occasions, he has asserted that the problem is not immigration per se. Rather, the problem is Islam itself….”
“This is ridiculous. While such a focus on ‘Islam’ (in practice meaning ‘Pakistanis’) may make sense from the narrow perspective of northern mill towns, inner Birmingham, or a place like Luton or Slough; or perhaps might make sense if you are focused on the threat posed by Islamic terrorism (something that has visibly receded from its mid-’10s peak), it is now outdated at best, and irrelevant at worst.”
“There is little evidence that the dysfunction of these communities is due to Islam (indeed, it may even be the opposite)….”
All the institutions that were supposed to uphold the law and protect the vulnerable didn’t just fail to do so, they actively refused to. They willingly condemned thousands of girls to years of unspeakable horror, through some vile mixture of cowardice, expediency, and ideology. They lied shamelessly, they smeared anybody who tried to raise the alarm as “racist”, and then they did everything in their power to bury the whole issue. After such a monstrous betrayal, why would anybody ever trust them again? That’s why it’s not just a scandal, it is a crisis of legitimacy for the British state.
