All is known about Pakistani rape gangs operating in Britain.

Over the last 25 years, inquiry after inquiry have revealed the same thing:

For the sake of “community cohesion”, our civil service and much of our media covered up the true scale of the horror, their role in it, and attacked all who sought justice, labelling them “Far Right”, as our Prime Minister shamelessly did earlier in the year.

Nothing, you see, can challenge the “diversity is our strength” mantra.

Our womenfolk have thus been sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism.

Back in 2002, Ann Cryer, then Labour MP for Keighley (pictured), bravely spoke out.

Distraught mothers approached her. Their daughters were “groomed” by young “lads” from the “Pakistani community”.

They said the girls were being used for sex by them and handed around – not as prostitutes but were being handed around the families of these lads. This was underage sex.”

Cryer initially thought the outrage a local issue.

Then the Rotherham scandal erupted.

It was a national phenomenon: “It reduced me to tears”, she said.

She continued. Mothers had asked “why is it that West Yorkshire police won’t do anything about it, social services won’t do anything about it, when we have given them the names and addresses of the men abusing our daughters?”.

The MP quickly found out.

For her troubles, “my mother was called racist for raising the grooming gang issue”, said John Cryer, her son, last June.

She was shunned and stood down as an MP in 2010.

As the New Year 2011 dawned, Jack Straw, former Home Office Secretary, said on BBC’s Newsnight, following the sentencing of Abid Mohammed Saddique and Mohammed Romaan Liaqat, the ringleaders of the Derby child sex abuse gang, that Pakistani men “target white girls” because they are “easy meat”. 

A few weeks later, he apologised for “the offence people feel I have caused”.

However, while the humiliating pattern of genuflection to the new and all-conquering pagan God of Diversity embedded itself in our leaders’ habits, the cat was truly let out of the bag by Andrew Norfolk, a prize winning investigative journalist when The Times published his devastating findings entitled “Revealed: conspiracy of silence on UK sex gangs”.

Our girls were prostituted, drugged and abused. And when they sought justice, they were seen as “slags”, treated as second class citizens, blamed, often arrested and silenced.

The horrors visited on them were unspeakable and without doubt up there with the biggest stains of shame on our national soul.

At least the truth was out.

But our authorities felt it too inconvenient.

As a result, the core issue would never be addressed. The scandal metastasised.

So, there followed a long list of published and unpublished enquiries, each more terrible than the next in their implications and revelations. These were commissioned in lieu of action. Inevitably, and by design one must assume, they led nowhere.  

Indeed, Sarah Champion Labour MP for Rotherham, showing some gumption, wrote two opinion pieces, one for the Mirror in 2015, the other for the Sun in 2017.

In the first one, she called the rapes of our daughters a “national disaster”.

“There could be up to a million victims of child sexual exploitation in the UK, it is feared,” she wrote.

In the second, she said: “British Pakistani men are raping and exploiting white girls… and it’s time we faced up to it.”

“Does that make me a racist? Or am I just prepared to call out this horrifying problem for what it is?”

On the Home Affairs Select Committee, when she heard Rotherham council justify their failure she was “stunned”.

“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I had to do something”.

So, she did.

She was called a racist, resigned her seat in the shadow cabinet and recanted.

Only recently, Sir Mark Rowley, London Chief of Police, usually more concerned about the LGBTQ-+WHAT? people than dealing with this rape plague of Biblical proportion, said his forces will reassess “9000 potential” rape gang cases.

Stunning: he revealed that there were 6.4 times more rape cases in London than the already mind-blowing 1400 Rotherham “conservative” rape victim estimates.

Incidentally, this was a rape pandemic Sadiq Khan, London Mayor, had hitherto denied.

As an aside, by using the “Grooming Gang” euphemism rather than the more accurate “Pakistani rape gangs” description, Rowley outed himself as part of the problem.  

Be that as it may, a few weeks before Sir Mark’s intervention, Jess Philips MP and Safeguarding Minister said in Parliament “I would be lying if I said that over the years I had not met girls who talked to me about how police were part of not just the cover-up but the perpetration”.

This explains in part why girls like “Jane, who was just 12 years old when she was raped by an illegal immigrant”, was subsequently arrested by the police, as Chris Philp MP said, adding that the rapist, himself, was allowed to go.

Philp also told the House that a father had “tried to rescue his young daughter from being raped, but instead of protecting her, the police arrested him”.

Official data shows that the number of police-recorded rape offences in England and Wales from 2002 and to today rose by nearly 600%.

Since 2020, close to 400 000 women and girls have been raped.

Two things are worth noting.

First, this is official data, probably, therefore, an underestimate.

Secondly, rape is a tool of war. As such, the numbers reveal the state we find ourselves in, whether it is declared or not.

If and when a new national inquiry is launched, we can expect unconscionable delays, obfuscation and dishonest fudge. Turkeys usually don’t vote for Christmas.

If, by way of a miracle, this new exercise was to be conducted fairly, freed from political taboos, the findings would be the genesis of Richter scale busting tremors so great as to threaten much of what we now see contemporary Great Britain to be.

So more of the same, it will be.
