Will the thousands of underage white girls systematically pack-raped by Muslim gangs in Britain finally get some semblance of justice thanks to Elon Musk? The world’s richest man has ignited a firestorm in British politics by drawing renewed attention to not just the horror that was perpetrated, but to the just as shameful decades of cover up.
A cover up that was enacted at all levels of civil and political society – possibly right up to the very top.
Keir Starmer is facing growing pressure to a launch a national review into grooming gangs, but so far the Prime Minister is holding firm. ‘This doesn’t need more consultation, it doesn’t need more research, it just needs action. There have been many, many reviews…frankly, it’s time for action,’ he said yesterday. Starmer’s comments reinforce the position of Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, who last week refused Oldham Council’s request for a government-led public inquiry into grooming gangs in the town. But what’s the real reason Labour is so reluctant to probe these appalling crimes?
‘Appalling’ doesn’t begin to describe it.
Industrial-scale rape of underage girls is bad enough: that it was done largely because of a disgusting religious conviction that non-Muslim girls were less than garbage was even worse. But what was done is, it is not hyperbole to say, nothing short of horrific. Musk tweeted some excerpts of the court transcripts describing the vile gang rapes – and even those snippets were enough to cost me a night’s sleep.
The harrowing reports of what children in Britain have endured over the last few decades are nightmarish. Several children were murdered (one was allegedly dismembered and disposed of at a kebab shop), a girl was kept caged and made to act like a dog, abusers routinely tortured children, a perpetrator branded ‘M’ (for Mohammed) on a victim’s buttock with a hairpin to indicate ownership, and an aborted foetus was taken by the police for DNA purposes, without the 13-year-old grooming victim being told. In some cases, the girls were dismissed by the authorities as ‘child prostitutes’ and betrayed by the very people tasked with their welfare. The police botched investigations, fathers trying to save daughters were arrested, and cries of ‘racism’ shut down discussion about a clear pattern of criminality occurring within local authorities, emboldening perpetrators.
But heaping appalling crimes on appalling crimes is the well-document fact that police, social workers, healthcare workers, and politicians, at all levels, knew full well what was going on – for decades! – and actively covered it all up. When church officials likewise covered up decades of child abuse, they were rightly held to account, ending careers, even deservedly resulting in jail sentences.
No one – no one – has been held to account for covering up the Muslim child rape gangs.
Why not?
It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Phillips’ wafer-thin majority might play a part in her thinking. The Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley won at the last election by just 693 votes. When she made her acceptance speech, she was heckled. Phillips responded by saying: ‘I understand a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence’. Her constituency, like others in Birmingham, has a significant Muslim population. Is Phillips reluctant to give the go ahead to an inquiry that might ask difficult and sensitive questions about the identity of the perpetrators in Oldham, and indeed in other towns affected by Pakistani grooming gangs who exploited children for their own sexual gratification? […]
Comments by ex-Labour MP for Rochdale, Simon Danczuk who responded to Musk’s ‘prison’ post on X, makes it clear that Labour at least has questions to answer on this subject. Danczuk, a Reform candidate at the last election, made a bombshell accusation that ‘senior Labour politicians warned me not to mention the ethnicity of the perpetrators, for fear of losing votes, when I tried shining a light on the Rochdale grooming gangs’. His accusation, if true, pours further fuel on this increasingly explosive issue.
How senior?
Multi-billionaire Elon Musk has accused Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of being “deeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes”.
Mr Musk has published a series of posts on X suggesting Starmer failed to deal with the grooming gang scandal while head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) between 2008 and 2013.
Starmer has reverted to predictable type, accusing critics of ‘spreading lies and misinformation’. Astonishingly, in comments that went over like a lead balloon, he accused those trying to bring the scandal to light of being ‘far-right’. The man is a buffoon – but is he also criminally complicit? Starmer claims he tackled prosecutions ‘head on’.
After the police investigate crimes and present their findings, the CPS decides whether to prosecute based on evidence and public interest.
Starmer was appointed head of the CPS in 2008 and held the role for five years.
A 2024 report found that authorities failed to properly investigate what were already known to be rampant cases between 2004 and 2013.
In other words, spanning Starmer’s entire career as chief prosecutor.
The CPS was criticised for a decision not to proceed with a prosecution in Rochdale on the basis that it viewed the main victim as "unreliable" following an investigation between August 2008 and August 2009.
In 2014, Professor Alexis Jay examined the activity of grooming gangs in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. The report states that 1,400 children, some as young as 11, were exploited during that period.
Prof Jay’s report into the Rotherham cases said the police would often cite the CPS as being unwilling to prosecute alleged perpetrators […]
Maggie Oliver, a former Manchester detective who now campaigns for victims of child sex abuse, told BBC Verify that the CPS “bear a great deal of responsibility for the failures around this issue”, including bringing inadequate charges and blaming victims.
The cover up is still going on, especially around Starmer’s time at CPS.
On child sexual abuse prosecutions, we found CPS figures dating back to 2007 but the early years are now only on archived web pages – as they are no longer on the CPS website.
They show that the “number of prosecutions for child sexual abuse flagged cases” did rise from that year to reach 4,794 in April 2010 to March 2011 –a peak for Starmer’s time in charge of the CPS.
To put that into perspective, though, there were nearly 7,200 prosecutions in 2016–2017, after Starmer had left the CPS and gone into politics.
This shocking scandal, possibly the worst in British criminal history, has a long way to run yet. And the UK PM has a lot more questions to answer.
