Demand a National Inquiry: Systemic Underage Rape'Grooming' Gang Scandal Rocks UK Establishment
- A Radical Dispatch
1) Underage rape ‘grooming’ gangs: a national disgrace
The UK establishment has been rocked by the revival of a national underage rape ‘grooming’ gang scandal that had never garnered the attention that it deserved.
The Times reports 7th January 2025:
“Elon Musk’s comments over child grooming gangs have sped up government action on protecting girls, the head of a public inquiry into sex abuse has said, even as she rejected the billionaire’s call for a fresh investigation.”
Elon Musk had drawn attention to this much older story by tweeting out details of some of cases and then - troublingly - embracing anti-Muslim paid-agitator, stagename Tommy Robinson as somehow being the voice of these underage victims. More on why Musk is wrong is below in section 5, but for now this word of advice:
Despite some of his deeply troubling behaviour being roundly condemned, by us included, Elon Musk’s online outburst in this regard can be said to at least have revived interest in the establishment cover up of this horrific story. Credit where credit is due.
Here is a summary of the basic story from this author’s days on Global’s LBC radio:

Maajid Nawaz on Global’s LBC:
“In 27 cities with probably thousands of underage young girls, it must lead to a Stephen Lawrence style national inquiry looking into what the institutional failures have been, well here the majority of these girls were in care homes and therefore were let down by these care homes. One girl was she was impregnated twice before the age of 15 in her care home because an adult predator was allowed into their care home to statutorily rape her eventually found dead from a heroin overdose. There has been failures on an institutional level in the care homes up and down this country. There have been failures on an institutional level in the police up and down this country, and there have been failures on an institutional level in local Labor councils, probably not only Labor but mainly Labor councils up and down this country, because people have been scared of being called racist. And the fear of racism or the fear of so-called “Islamophobia” which is a misnomer, the fear more appropriately of anti-muslim bigotry, must never be an excuse to allow underage girls to be raped and abused in this way. Think of that, imagine that. 27 cities and counting because I can guarantee you we haven't heard the end of this yet. Imagine the thousands of victims. Imagine the impunity with which these men must have been acting. Some of the girls as young as 11. One girl, if my memory serves me correctly, was in oxford one girl was even branded branded by her raper as property of, and then his name, on her leg. And I think if memory serves me correctly, that girl was 11 years old. It is an absolute disgrace. People have cared for their reputations over the safety of children in this country being raped and drugged and passed around like meat because of the bigotry and the prejudices of these Pakistani Muslim men who were looking down on these children as less than, as inferior, as some form of infidel that doesn't deserve honour or dignity. And I address you now here, oh, woke left wing. You talk about believing the victim. Look it up. Go to your smartphone and Google Ella Hill. She writes a piece in The Independent in which she describes the religious extremist terminology her abusers were using as they were sexually exploiting her as a child, in which she talks of how they called her an infidel and how they abused her race and her lack of Islamic faith and justified treating her in this way because they viewed her as less than because they believed themselves to be Muslim supremacists. Don't tell me that their Muslim identity had nothing to do with this. I have lived and breathed this community all of my life. I can guarantee you that it's not the cause, but a factor in the way in which these girls was treated was the culture of these men. And as part of that culture is their religious attitude towards non-Muslims. And that is the reason that you see almost exclusively that they are men like me, Pakistani, British, Muslim. Most of them, all of them Muslims, almost all Pakistani Muslims. And the victims, almost all underaged white girls. We started to convict people. Yes, I listed those 27 cities for you. which is bad enough as it is. But where's the accountability for the police who covered this up? Where's the accountability for the Labour councils who covered this up? Where are the accolades for Anne Cryer MP, former Labour MP in Keeley, who raised this years and years ago? Was a sole voice, crying out into the wilderness, beseeching people to listen to her. Then came Julie Bindell, the first to write columns about this. Ignored, in fact, she writes herself that in 2007 she was looking into this and her pieces were shelved. Look how Sarah Champion was treated, Labour frontbencher who was sacked because she said this was a problem. And now finally, the independent police watchdog has said, yes, it was covered up by the police. Well, that's not good enough because nothing short of this national and statutory inquiry will satisfy the victims and bring them dignity and honour, but also quell the anger that people are rightfully feeling as these cases unfold. As I say, it is a national disgrace.”
And here is that 2018 column in the Independent that we spoke of above, by underage victim Ella Hill.
The Independent reports 18th March 2018:
“As a teenager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times. I was called a ‘white slag’ and ‘white c***’ as they beat me. They made it clear that because I was a non-Muslim, and not a virgin, and because I didn’t dress ‘modestly’, that they believed I deserved to be ‘punished’. They said I had to ‘obey’ or be beaten….I experienced horrific, religiously sanctioned sexual violence and torture – so I definitely believe that we need to be aware of religious extremism as something potentially harmful, so that we can protect people from it. But for Tommy Robinson and his followers to focus on an entire religion, based on the cruel interpretations of some scriptures by some people, is unhelpful, to say the least.”
This is truly a horrific national and international disgrace.
After the Harvey Weinstein Hollywood story, revelations around the Mossad-backed Epstein global VIP pedophile ring, the P. Diddy music industry sex abuse cases, and after revelations around the Church of England mass child abuse leading to the recent resignation of the Archbishop, among multiple other such scandals, is there any doubt remaining as to our warning from 2023 below?
2) It’s the cover up, stupid.
The underage rape slave ‘grooming gang’ scandal is the latest in a long line of sex abuse stories and dates back some years in the UK. The issue itself is not so much news anymore, but the cover up by Prime Minister Keir Starmer is.
The Times of London has been at the forefront of seeking to expose these revelations.
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
“The prime minister was in charge of the Crown Prosecution Service when The Times exposed a conspiracy of silence around on-street grooming among police, councils and prosecutors in 2011. The Labour leader has used his time as director of public prosecutions to his political advantage several times.”
When Prime Minister, and among his many mistakes, Boris Johnson himself challenged Starmer on his earlier role as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for choosing not to prosecute Britains most notorious pedophile and personal friend of King Charles, Sir Jimmy Saville.

PM Boris Johnson to Keir Starmer: “This Leader of the Opposition, a former Director of Public Prosecutions Mr Speaker, if anything, he spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile, as far as I can make out, Mr Speaker. He, Mr Speaker, chose to use this moment, he used this moment, Mr Speaker, continually to prejudge a police inquiry. That's what he chose to do. He's reached his conclusions about it. I'm not going to reach any conclusions and he would be entirely wrong to do so...”
Keir Starmer’s role as DPP has also been raised by one of the most prominent whistleblowers of this underage rape ‘grooming’ gang scandal, former police detective Maggie Oliver.
Click to play:
Whistleblower Maggie Oliver: “I shouldn't have had to resign. It's still, you know, 12 years on from that day, and we are still going round this same hamster wheel.”
Correspondent: “We need to see Keir Starmer stand up in the House of Commons and issue you a full and unreserved apology, don't we?”
Maggie Oliver: “You know what Bev? Empty words mean nothing to me. I want to see him put his actions where his mouth is you know blaming this problem on far-right extremists is actually dodging the issue. He was the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) when I resigned from Rochdale, and I resigned because the charges that were being levelled at the predators and the abusers of those men, I knew in detail. I knew what had happened to them because I've spoken to them all. You know, being threatened at gunpoint, being passed around a room like a bull, being raped on a daily basis. And he…made the decision alongside the prosecutors that the man who got a 13-year-old pregnant didn't face charges of rape. He was out of prison in less than four years. As a tactical option, they put a child victim of that gang on the indictment so they could get her evidence into court without even telling her. Then they tried to take her children away from her. He was the DPP. And I'm sorry, when he says that his record is clear and good, I would take him straight back to that case, which 10 years later, Bev, the Chief Constable of Manchester has publicly acknowledged, it was borderline incompetence in the handling of it on many levels. And to this day, the CPS refused to apologise for putting that victim on the indictment as a purely tactical option. So we still have a long, long way to go. And so, you know, words like yesterday, they...can again actually are blaming victims and abuse and abuse victims for standing up for their right to have their their their abusers tackled and dealt with properly it's..smoke and mirrors and I've heard these things so many times that I get really angry about it.”
Indeed, it is the cover up that has angered so many, and will continue to do so.

Maajid Nawaz on WARRIOR CREED: “Now, we mentioned the cover-up, which is why people are so upset. Understand why people are so upset. This is a systemic cover-up. We have institutional failures in our police, in our Labour government and in our local Labour council and in our child protection services. All of which have been complicit in covering this up and for which multiple reports have also come to this same conclusion that they've been covering it up. And whistleblower former police detective Maggie Oliver in particular has been speaking about Keir Starmer as director of public prosecutions, covering this up when he made the decision alongside other prosecutors that a man who got a 13-year-old pregnant should not face charges of rape.”
There really is little by way of an excuse for the abysmal failure to act. The Times even ran a front cover on the issue back in 2010.
Original Times cover story:
Activists such as Ann Cryer MP had been raising the alarm since 2003 and, much like the victims themselves, was branded a trouble maker for her efforts.
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
As for PM Starmer, the precise role that he played in making sure that relevant cases were buried has been further detailed by the Times.
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
“It was against this background that Starmer, the former human rights barrister, was selected as the surprise choice to be the director of public prosecutions (DPP). His appointment was announced in July 2008, and he took up the position in November of that year. Shortly after he took up the role, a critical child grooming case in Rochdale was dropped before trial by a CPS lawyer in July 2009. They had concluded the victim would not come across as credible, even though one of her attacker’s DNA was found on her underwear.”
The failures went beyond Starmer though, and touch on multiple institutions that are supposed to be safeguarding children but appeared instead to have been complicit in their systemic rape.
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
“There were other signs that the CPS, councils and police forces were failing victims. One serious case review, published in 2010, found ‘missed opportunities’ to help two grooming and abuse victims between 2008 and 2009. The girls, who lived in care in Derby, were instead treated as rebellious teenagers, the report found. Police became involved by chance, at a car stop, and 13 men were convicted for what investigators described as ‘a campaign of rape against children’. Other trials also hinted at the problem. Nine men were convicted in August 2010 for forcing a 14-year-old into prostitution and using her ‘as a commodity’ in Greater Manchester. The scandal lay in the cases that were not brought to trial. Starmer’s team claims these cases never reached the DPP’s office.”
Instead, what Starmer appears to have done is to appoint his lackey Nazir Afzal in order to prosecute contain the street-level cases while absolving the institutions and the people running them of their criminal failures.
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
Times reporter Andrew “Norfolk’s reports were read by Nazir Afzal, then the CPS’s national director of communities who says he immediately told Starmer this was an area that demanded more focus. Shortly afterwards, in May 2011, he moved to take up the job as chief prosecutor in the northwest. ‘They brought the Rochdale case to me, I revisited and decided it should be prosecuted. I told Keir and he said fine...‘We brought in first ever national guidelines on prosecuting child sexual abuse,’ Afzal said. ‘I led on them, but [Starmer] was with me on that journey…Every police force had their own guidance, so we persuaded the police to have one national police guideline on tackling these types of cases. Keir had conversation with the home secretary, and in 2013 [child sexual abuse] became a national policing priority. ‘He allowed me to lead a national team of specialist prosecutors, which never existed before, and commissioned to set up the first ever child sexual abuse review panel, which he jointly chaired.”
Here is prosecutor Nazir Afzal confirming the order of events.
And here is that same lackey Nazir Afzal reposting Tony Blair’s former Political Secretary who praises Afzal and PM Starmer, despite the cover up that has been, and is being revealed:
The truth is slightly less flattering for Nazir Afzal’s boss, Sir Keir Starmer.
It is because of this very cover up that a national statutory inquiry is needed, precisely as we demanded over four years ago on LBC.
And it is because there was a cover up that PM Starmer is doing everything within his power to stop such an inquiry happening.
3) Demand a statutory national inquiry
The Times has published an editorial endorsing the view that there needs to be a renewed national inquiry - not on the general issue of sex abuse, as has already occurred - but on the specific issue of underage rape ‘grooming’ gangs.
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
The Times reports 6th January 2025:
“…the prime minister was wrong to imply on Monday that fears and concerns about grooming gangs were akin to ‘jumping on a far-right bandwagon’.…The government cannot risk dismissing genuine concerns simply for its own political protection. There are undoubtedly bad faith actors stoking the grooming gangs issue, including those blaming the so-called ‘mainstream media’.
…Grooming gangs were only one element of Professor Jay’s inquiry — Rotherham garners a sole mention in her 468-page report and the gangs in Telford are not referenced. A new national inquiry is needed to explore where and how these gangs operated. It must not skirt around sensitive subjects, including ethnicity. It should not replicate mistakes of the past. Investigations into the Grenfell disaster and the Post Office scandal have gone on for too many years, racking up enormous bills. If the victims of grooming gangs are to receive the justice that is long overdue, it requires a swift, independent and public process aimed at exposing in full detail one of the deepest ills of our age.”
As the Times itself has stated, this tactic of simply writing off those who complain as being somehow ‘far right’ will no longer cut it. Again, Maggie Oliver drives the point home, demanding a full national inquiry.
Click to play:
Correspondent: “How do you feel when you see the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer today seemingly brushing off demands for a full, transparent, apolitical inquiry as amplifying the message of the far right?”
Maggie Oliver: “Hi Martin. It won't surprise you that I am incandescent with rage. I am no far right activist. I am a woman who gave 16 years of my life to the police and protecting children was number one priority in my life. I know Marlon very well, nor is he a far right extremist. All the victims that I know and that we support are victims who have had their lives destroyed to write them off as far-right extremists. It's insulting in the extreme. And it's another indication of how it's a smoke, it's deflecting from the issues. It's trying to take the debate around from the real problem. And Marlon is quite right. The ICSA National Abuse Enquiry looked at many areas. Two weeks was given to the organized networks. And I was one of the non-institutional co-participants. I did a 50-page statement that was decimated to 18 pages. I was not allowed to give evidence. Many other non-institutional people who were witnesses were also denied that opportunity. There was one victim given a paltry two hours. The rest of that time was given to those in positions of influence, senior police officers, social workers..council leaders, all of whom were actually responsible for us being in this position in the first place. So it was a great missed opportunity and I was devastated back then because I put faith in Alexis Jane because she knew Rotherham. I don't know who was pulling her strings, whether she was being prevented from looking at the towns and cities where this had happened. Charlie is absolutely right. You know, Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford, Oxford, Huddersfield, none of those towns were part of this review. The other thing to remember is that we, and the ICCS inquiry did highlight this, that absolutely there is no data collected about the ethnicity of the offenders. I would say that is a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters. And we, local inquiries don't work. Recommendations fall by the wayside. In fact, the Augusta review and the Rochdale review, I would say were very good very complete reports that uncovered an awful lot of the failures. But the mainstream media in London barely referred to them. This is a national problem and we need to elevate it onto a national basis. In relation to Oldham, I would say that that report in Oldham was a complete whitewash. There was one victim that was finally allowed to have her voice heard. And the only reason for that was because she came directly to me just before the report was due to be published and said, you know, I've never been approached, Oldham Council had told the review team that they must not under any circumstances approach her because she was suicidal. That was a lie. I don't know what was said about other victims, but I do not trust Oldham Council as far as I can throw them. And I feel that if we are going to go down the road of a national inquiry, the question isn't, are we going to have one? It's who's going to lead it. What are the terms of reference? Are victims going to be front and centre of that inquiry? Are people like me, like the Centre for Women's Justice, like Marlon, like Parents Against Child Exploitation, are they going to be given free reign to speak the truth? Because without that, it's another pointless exercise in a cover-up. But we are not far-right extremists. We are ordinary people who see children being abused on an industrial scale without understanding the reasons and addressing those. We're never going to see the changes.”
Nigel Farage has also backed this call, threatening the government with holding his own, Reform Party inquiry if they do not act.
Click to play:
Correspondent: “We just need to come come back briefly, if we could, to the scandal of grooming gangs. The Prime Minister seeming to say that any politician, or indeed anyone who seemed to support the idea of a public inquiry, was effectively getting on the bandwagon of being a right-winger. Nigel Farage, how do you respond to that?”
Nigel Farage: “I get a bit bored with this far-right label. I mean, the BBC uses about virtually every country in the world these days. You know, I've known that Canada very soon will go far-right, and Italy's gone far-right. And look, I... I honestly believe that through the police, through social services, through the last days of the Labour government, through the entirety of the last Conservative government, there has been a concerted attempt to play this down, for fear of what it might do, for fear of being called racist. The irony is that the attacks themselves were racist. This was anti-white female racism, of that I have no doubt. And let me say this, Nick. If the government will not hold a full public inquiry, and how interesting that the Times editorial today has come out strongly in support of it. I'll say this to you now, if they won't do it, we at Reform will do it. I will have no difficulty in raising the money to do this whatsoever. We'll appoint independent ex-judges and experts, and we will have this out in public. And I hope, Sir Keir...”
Correspondent: “Will you have the statutory powers that will be granted to you through a public inquiry?”
Nigel Farage: “No, I won't have the statutory powers, but I tell you what, I think this would garner such massive public support that anybody who was asked to appear that didn't appear would look terrible.”
Correspondent: “What would your deadline be for the government to take action?”
Nigel Farage: “Well, I think we've probably got a few weeks, but no more than that. And I think there is now overwhelming demand for us to know the full...unvarnished truth however horrid it may be.”
Correspondent: “So today is the January 7th, you'll give them to the end of January.”
Nigel Farage: “Effectively, yes and If we, Nick I promise you I can raise the money for it today, not from Elon Musk either. I can raise the money for it today, and we can do this and I mean it, I mean it, and I think that the government will know that when I say something I mean it, so I tell you, I tell you what guys, get on and just do it.”
4) Keir Starmer’s associations
The irony is not lost on us that Sir Keir Starmer has his own questionable associations with those who have befriended convicted child abusers.
Such questionable associations remain even as Starmer became Prime Minister of the UK.
Radical Media reports 18th September 2024, extract:
Lord Mandelson visited Epstein island, travelled to Paris with Epstein for his birthday after the latter had already been convicted for trafficking, and was due to stay at Epstein’s New York townhouse while Epstein was in jail. As has been thoroughly reported in this Radical Dispatch.
Despite knowing all of this, PM-in-waiting Sir Keir has refused to end Mandelson’s advisory role with him.
This is the same Keir Starmer who served as the head of the British Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) when they chose not to prosecute deceased serial pedophile Sir Jimmy Savile.
The fact that severely compromised parasites are placed in positions of power throughout the world, in order to do the bidding of those who blackmail them through Kompromat is a fact that is becoming increasingly difficult to deny.
This is why we been able to forecast their downfall so easily. Because they have already doomed themselves by their own hands.
Radical Media reports 6th July 2024:
When asked by the former BBC’s Emily Maitlis on her show News Agents, here is Prime Minister Starmer saying that he prefers the World Economic Forum at Davos to Britain’s own Westminster Parliament.
Starmer replied instantly, “Davos”:
