Not forgetting that the government’s own report on Pakistani grooming gangs, was withheld as “not being in the public interest.”

Mass Child Rape in Britain (Thousands of Children) by the "religion of peace" who Shalt Not Be Named.....Lest you be Censored and Cancelled.

[@kb4777]

One of the main benefits of being a police officer for 30 years is the generous (non contribution) pension you receive upon retirement. Any officer that neglected their duty in such a heinous fashion of ignoring the gang rape of little girls should be stripped of their pension. Perhaps that might persuade them to actually do the job we pay them for.

He needs to be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for his corruption and malevolent inaction in a public office.

[@formicapple2]

And deported

[@OrwellsHousecat]

Why? He's doing exactly what his bosses want

@@sebulreath7401 yup. At 1.3million people the nhs is an authoritarian state within a state. In his 1hour speech at Imperial last year Tony Blair said he can make 30% of NHS staff redundant by using simple AI to automate the simple repetitive mundane administration tasks - and that's before any fancy application of ai/robots. He also said that 11m of the 33m UK jobs will be replaced by AI/Robots over the next few years. He's already started by replacing the labour leader with a KierBot/BlairBot. That speech is well worth listening to. He maps out a 20year future (democracy will be shelved, both parties will submit to the Blair plan) and it's in action already.

@@OrwellsHousecat Time to reduce the working weekly to 15 hours. Keynes in 1930 thought that by 1970s given the tecknical development 15 hours per week would be enough yet 90 years after we are still working more than 35 hours.

[@shaunpatrick8345]

Him becoming a diversity officer makes perfect sense and one of the guests almost picked up on this but got confused by the subject's choice not to seek "cohesion." They don't want cohesion, they want to win.

[@t5kcannon1]

Thank you, Spiked. A very important video, which deserves the widest possible audience.

[@alanzee_]

No one in the public sector ever got the sack for being too woke.

[@Articulatinghistory]

All those who abused those children should have their whole entire bloodlines deported from this country to Pakistan.

[@balista7406]

...but only after being castrated.

[@shaunpatrick8345]

"a monstrous crime was only talked about by the most nefarious people" No, they were called nefarious (and much worse) because they talked about the crime. They are the best of people, slandered by the worst.

[@conrad152]

Well said sir !

[@pauljohnson6233]

I only spotted this once I had made the same point.

[@ignachioelsmith9053]

This is a very important topic, and reaches at the heart of what is fundimentaly wrong with this country. Well done for speaking up about this, very disturbing, state of affairs. True journerlists should be all over this. Racism, police and government cover-ups, alleged bribary and vaulnrable victims being abused. A true crime to ignore, and those that do are complicit. Thank you Spiked, for this discussion.

[@cailancook9720]

It seems likely that the number of people implicated in this entire scandal at this point is so gobsmacking that it would be catastrophic for everyone working within our institutions if it were ever to be made public knowledge. There's far too much incentive for the cover-up, at the cost of thousands of young British girls' innocence & safety. Evil.

[@Corstopitum]

Keep going with this please as it should never be allowed to be brushed under the carpet 👏👏👏

[@formicapple2]

Perfectly believable and expected to happen as I have witnessed in 20 years in local government in London.

[@stevenwiederholt7000]

I have a small question. WTH does the NSH need with an office of Diversity Equity & Inclusion?

[@peterp7063]

And don't forget (conveniently perhaps?) the considerable role played by Tommy Robinson in drawing attention to the grooming - particularly, most recently, the massive grooming and connected police corruption that's been going on in Telford for many years.

[@MsStack42]

I believe a relative of his was a victim....

[@fredo1070]

[@DBS6567]

for me it wasn't till Rommy Tobinson made his stand on this subject , that i was even aware that Rotherham was even a thing, the fact that he has been vilified by the media and others, for simply saying that Rotherham and other places, were a clear and present danger to young and venerable predominantly white girls., which is true, and that the establishment covered it up, this was an eye opener to me. an unbelievable eye opener. so i take my hat off to Tommy, respect and keep fighting the good fight. those that allowed this to happen, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.. heads at every level, should roll. lets have the truth, no matter where it leads.

[@onceamoth]

He's also being extra-judicially punished by the police, banks, and border force.

[@loafersheffield]

Issues and sensitivity regarding ethnicity. There were brown blokes with beards, from the same locale who were also concerned that their daughters and sisters were being targeted. Hindu's and Sikh's. Only one word was curiously left out of this conversation.

[@Gozzillacia]

[@I_Don_t_want_a_handle]

It's how life works. Those who play along and facilitate are rewarded. What has not been examined, and also never gets mentioned, is the role of the Labour Party in all this. Now why would that be?

[@Falconlibrary]

True. Virtue is its own punishment and people of principle are not wanted. Both witnessed and experienced this in my own life.

[@garyphisher7375]

Labour was infiltrated and controlled decades ago - they now use it to forward everything crazy and idiotic. They also used it to open the borders - which means stealing workers from poor countries, to keep wages down, profits high, and to infalte property prices. Stealing workers from poor countries is not virtuous - and it doesn't benefit workers - so why is Labour for it?

[@Microbex]

Shameful.

Isn't it AMAZING!!! The perpetual and ever caring and inclusive left that LOVE LOVE LOVE all - and hector you to be like them - seemingly have NO regard for this group of young women/girls. METHINKS they care only for those they can score points for caring about, which tells me even that CARING - is not caring at all. It's all a performance!

[@DavidSmith-fs5qj]

These girls were the wrong type of victims, preyed upon by the wrong type of perpetrators, these were racially motivated crimes, recently the chairman of Yorkshire cricket resigned over allegations of racism(allegations, not charges), but nobody is held to account for these failings.

It's seeing it and knowing it is happening is the thing. In Bristol I used to see teenage school girls standing at the front of the bus chatting to the, mostly Asian, drivers. I never thought anything about it beyond noticing how odd it was. Now I think it may well have been much worse than silly girls distracting the driver ...
