The ruling left-wing Labor Party blocked a vote that would have established a public inquiry into the abuse of white British girls by mostly Muslim Pakistani men and the authorities' politically correct failures to protect them.
Labor has blocked the Conservative Party's amendment to the Child Welfare and Schools Bill to set up a national public inquiry after Prime Minister Keir Starmer reportedly whipped MPs to vote against the bill. . 350 Labor Party MPs I voted All 101 Conservative MPs and five Reform MPs voted in favor of the bill. But more than 170 people abstained, including former Conservative chancellor Rishi Sunak and the entire Liberal Democratic Party.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philip said Mr Starmer's move to block the bill was “disgusting” and accused Labor of being morally “despicable”.
“Labour MPs have put their party ahead of finding the truth and have turned a blind eye to justice for victims.Labour MPs need to know the truth behind the torture and rape of countless vulnerable girls. “We will need to explain to the British people why we oppose it.” said around telegraph paper.
Prime Minister Starmer justifies his position claimed Citing the time spent implementing Jay's report into child abuse, he said a national public inquiry would take at least seven years. Mr Starmer insisted the focus should be on implementing the recommendations of the previous report, rather than carrying out a national inquiry into the scandal.
But critics say Professor Alexis Jay's Independent Commission into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) only touches tangentially on the issue of Muslim Pakistani rape gangs targeting white girls. They argue that it is insufficient because it does not even mention hotspots for grooming gangs. Rotherham, Oldham, Telford and more.
Activists such as reform leader Nigel Farage have also pointed to recent developments. report Muslim grooming gangs may be targeting young girls in more than 50 British towns and cities, GB News' Charlie Peters has learned. Peters said nearly all areas identified through court records, field reports and victim testimony have not yet been thoroughly investigated.
Mr Peters also criticized the IICSA report for not specifically focusing on gang grooming, saying it had its own specialized investigations into other issues such as the Catholic Church and online abuse. He claimed it was being “confined” with other cases of child abuse.
In Wednesday's House of Commons debate, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch speculated that Starmer might not want a full national inquiry because he “doesn't want Labor politicians to question him”. . Indeed, many of the areas where the worst human rights abuses have been found are under the control of left-wing parties, and the prime minister himself faces questions about his role in the alleged cover-up when he was the country's top prosecutor.
“This is one of the worst scandals in British history and I want to say to the Prime Minister: It's not about you, it's about the victims. Be a leader, not a lawyer,” Mr Badenoch urged Mr Starmer. did.
But Mr Badenoch has also faced criticism, with Nigel Farage refusing to meet with victims or demanding that his party launch an investigation during his time in government when he was women and equalities minister. He pointed out that he could not.
The Conservatives have also faced accusations of cover-ups, with Boris Johnson's government blocking the publication of data on the ethnicity of perpetrators in 2020, despite most of the abuse taking place in Labour-run areas. . public interest.”
A 2017 report from the anti-extremism think tank, long derided as a racist conspiracy theory, suggests that the vast majority of abuses by grooming gangs are carried out by Pakistani Muslims living in the UK. Reports have long maintained that this is the case, including . Quilliam found that 84 per cent of grooming crimes were committed by Muslim men from a “South Asian” (British term referring to countries such as Bangladesh, India and India) background. Pakistan).
The report further revealed that child rape gangs specifically targeted young white girls. They were seen as “easier targets'' compared to girls from the Muslim community, who groomers considered “to be protected''.
But grooming scandals aren't just limited to the abuse of young girls, with local authorities and law enforcement fearing being seen as racist or stirring up racial divisions in their communities. Numerous reports have revealed that child rapes have been overlooked.
For example, a 2020 report found that in the early 2000s, a group of about 100 South Asian men were given free rein to rape and abuse dozens of girls in the Greater Manchester area. Police officers were found to have been instructed to focus on “other ethnicities”. Separate reports say police near Rotherham told the father of a missing girl that the town would “explode” if it became known that a young white girl was being preyed upon by Muslim men. It is said that
Victims were often ignored, with social services and police dismissing their pleas for help and often accusing the girls of willingly entering into relationships with their abusers.
One such victim claimed that she was accused by police of “prostitution” at the age of 12 or 13, when her mother first claimed that the child had been raped. Negative attitudes toward many victims suggest that other victims may have been deterred from coming forward to authorities.
Before Wednesday's vote, Nigel Farage told the House of Commons that Reform UK would establish its own independent inquiry into the scandal, given the “overwhelming support from all sides of the political spectrum” for an investigation. He said he would provide funding.
Mr Farage said the country needed an investigation that specifically focused on “groups of Pakistani men raping young white girls”. Because, ultimately, it seems to me that there is a deep racist element behind the incident.
