Our own Amy Curtis, who was labeled a thought criminal by the EU for posts criticizing the British authorities for failing to act, wrote a couple of posts Thursday about the child grooming scandal in England. As she reported, one girl who says she was five when she was first abused was asked by a detective when she came forward whether she had “consented” to sexual activity at any point. In another post, she wrote about the U.K. police punished girls who were victims of grooming gangs.
I've been meaning to write about the Rotherham child grooming scandal for a week or so, but I didn't feel I understood it. The crux seemed to be that it was groups of Pakistani migrants who were doing the grooming, and so it was considered racist to complain about it. As we reported earlier, the U.K. police will arrest you for social media posts that cause someone else "anxiety." Not surprisingly, The Times of India has published a story about Elon Musk wading into the scandal. In short, in 2014, a report revealed systemic failures that allowed the abuse of approximately 1,400 children over 16 years. The Times of India reports that "a major factor was fear among officials of being labeled racist, as the majority of perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage."
It's worth remembering that when cases came to the attention of the authorities, they leapt into action. They buried them in case investigating inflamed 'racial tensions'.

🚨🇬🇧1,400 CHILDREN RAPED IN ROTHERHAM, UK—AUTHORITIES DID NOTHING
— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) January 1, 2025
Over 16 years, at least 1,400 children in Rotherham were sexually abused while officials ignored warnings and dismissed reports.
Victims as young as 11 were trafficked, raped, and brutalized.
Fear of being… https://t.co/Ruj8rqrSeX pic.twitter.com/kwtipM1LCF
… Fear of being labeled "racist" stopped staff from addressing abusers, who were mostly Pakistani men.
Three inquiries were ignored. Officials failed to act, leaving victims unprotected.
The scale of betrayal is unimaginable—and the scars are forever.

How can this be allowed to happen? https://t.co/TrXocOx4gn

It was allowed to happen because the left in the UK won’t allow any challenge to its creed of diversity or the vile attitudes of some Muslim men towards women.

Not even the rape and torture of hundreds of white working class girls.
True story. https://t.co/7oAiDcwDPZ
What a terrible tragedy for the Islamic community as it has had to face waves of Islamophobia as a result of the industrial-scale level of thousands of white British little girls in countless British cities for nearly three decades. https://t.co/fcDx2f42Ey

We must work harder…
… We must work harder to defeat Islamophobia. Let that be our New Year's resolution for 2025.
In this clip, Sangeer, brother of Rotherham accused Arshid, Hussain speaks about the grooming allegations to Channel 4 News.

… - Compares the allegation to calling the journalist "a prostitute"
- Says that they don't wouldn't rape these girls anyway because it would be like "eating dogcrap"
Sangeer was found guilty of rape in 2016.
Another brother, Basharat, was also convicted.
He says the problem is all of these teen girls going out to clubs in miniskirts. And preteen girls, too, apparently.
So many people at all levels of power in the UK need to be in prison for this. https://t.co/PtM39RGrFi

We've posted a few videos of Britons being arrested over "offensive" social media posts. I don't know how British police officers can continue to follow orders like this in good conscience.
Whoever ordered the arrest of fathers trying to protect their daughters from gang rape should be in prison for life https://t.co/jJj0pmoqSD

I can’t imagine why the government wouldn’t want a nationwide inquiry into the mass rape of thousands of children.
— Benedict Spence (@BenedictSpence) January 1, 2025
Either they think child rape isn’t important, or that people might discover its true extent — and who may be to blame. https://t.co/qe4H10ngTI
They oppose an inquiry, because it will show that those in power were complicit in the cover-up https://t.co/uLdWVRcEIg

J.K. Rowling even takes exception with the term "grooming" gangs, when they were actually rape gangs.

The details emerging about what the rape gangs (why call them 'grooming' gangs? It's like calling those who stab people to death 'knife owners') did to girls in Rotherham are downright horrific. The allegations of possible police corruption in the case are almost beyond belief. https://t.co/0SVoxuqw6K

Do I believe all of the worst coming out from the report? Yes, I do. Do I believe authorities looked the other way rather than single out the migrant community? Absolutely.
