They're Covering It Up Again

from Tomlinson Talks · host Connor Tomlinson

Substack post on the grooming gangs inquiry: https://connortomlinson.substack.com/p/how-the-home-office-buried-the-groomingThe UK government have published the terms of reference for the statutory local grooming gang inquiries. They promise to "explicitly examine the role of ethnicity, religion and culture, when considering the factors that drive and enable" the abuse. But it is likely to be another limited hangout, like every report and inquiry promised by previous governments.They are chaired by Labour Baroness Anne Longfield, the former Children's Commissioner, who praised a 2012 report which blamed white men for the crimes, and defended its author, Sue Berelowitz, receiving £134,000 in severance pay, before rehiring her on a consultant's fee of £960 a day to write another report.The inquiry will only examine three of the over fifty affected towns and cities, ignore any crimes before 1996, and will conclude after the next general election in 2029.The accompanying Parliamentary research briefing does not mention the state's knowledge of the gangs before 2010. But the Home Office knew by 1998, local authorities knew in the mid 1990s, and the police and press knew in the late 1970s.This inquiry seems designed to delay and deny justice, and let the scandal drop conveniently out of the headlines.We can only continue to document the extent to which the state has covered up these crimes, and press onwards with private inquiries and prosecutions, until a patriotic force wins a Parliamentary majority and imprisons or deports the culprits.
