In a Tweet to day MP Rupert Lowe stated
In towns and cities all over the UK, vulnerable young white girls were targeted, exploited, abused and raped by monstrous gangs of men, mainly from Pakistan - it was a sustained campaign of fear, hate and intimidation. It worked. It continues today.
I’m not going to pretend that I’ve been campaigning on this issue for decades, because I haven’t. Others have done that, and their efforts are far superior to mine - many have paid a high personal price for doing so. Victims and campaigners have watched as the issue has slipped in and out of the public eye, each time hoping it may be different from the last and real justice may finally be delivered. It never happened.
In January, with Elon Musk’s help, it looked like that might change, but no. The inquiry was voted down, the politicians made their speeches and posted their graphics, and then that was that. Gone, again.
It's now up to us.
I understand the potential limitations of this inquiry, I understand all of that.
But what’s the alternative? Angrily post about it on the internet every couple of weeks? Ask countless parliamentary questions that just get ignored? Give pointless interviews? Parliamentary process has not worked. Media attention has not worked. Political pressure has not worked.
We have to try something different. It’s that or just sit around and do nothing. That’s what politicians from all parties have done for decades, and look where it’s got us.
We must choose action.
This inquiry will work to establish the full truth, without censorship. Findings won’t be downplayed. We will find and present the ugly reality.
Survivors have often been ignored and erased. This inquiry can create a detailed, permanent record of what happened - a document that cannot be buried or forgotten.
Many victims have never been heard in public - many frontline staff were silenced. This will give them a safe, structured platform to finally speak out.
The establishment wants to ignore it all, and pretend it never happened but a live-streamed, well-documented inquiry makes that much, much harder.
We will not shy away out of fears of being labelled ‘racist’, ‘islamophobic’ or disrupting ‘community cohesion’. We will hound down the ugly truth, I can assure you of that.
To anyone who has donated, contributed or even just shared it - genuinely, thank you.
I thought we may reach £10,000 on the first day. We’re almost at a quarter of a million within 24 hours.
ALL done through social media.
If we do this right, we will make a real difference. I promise you that.
But as a footnote readers must never forget that it was the British National Party and it,s chairman Nick Griffin who was the firdt to highlight this problem . And the fact that Labours Jack Straw tried to jail hm for it , must never be forgotten.
