Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips’ decision to block a public inquiry into the Oldham grooming gangs seems, from the outside, to be almost inexplicable. Children were raped and abused by gangs of men while the authorities failed to protect them.
A review of the abuse in Oldham was released in 2022, but its terms of reference only stretched from 2011-2014. Survivors from the town said that they wanted a government-led inquiry to cover a longer period, and catch what the previous review had missed. In Jess Phillips’s letter to the council, revealed by GB News, she said she understood the strength of feeling in the town, but thought it best for another local review to take place.
This is a scandal that should be rooted out entirely, and investigated by the full might of the British state. Voices ranging from Elon Musk to Kemi Badenoch have joined the calls for an inquiry. Yet the Government seems curiously reluctant to dig into the failings of officials.
This reluctance is not new. Across the country, in towns and in cities, on our streets and in the state institutions designed to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, authorities deliberately turned a blind eye to horrific abuse of largely white children by gangs of men predominantly of Pakistani heritage.
Over time, details have come to light about abuse in Rotherham, in Telford, in Rochdale and in dozens of other places. But with the stories released in dribs and drabs, and the details so horrific as to be almost unreadable, the full scale of the scandal has still to reach the public.

This is but a small snippet of a long article, and I left out all of the sordid details which are truly sickening.
To be clear these are Pakistani rape gangs, or rape and torture gangs, not grooming gangs, but at least there now seems to be renewed efforts to shine a light on these atrocities that the British people allowed to happen to their own daughters because they were afraid to be called "far right" or racist.
If their government continues to cover this up Trump should threaten sanctions on them.

but is it something we want our children to aspire to ?
. That's beyond the comprehension of 99% of is. I'm including normal gay people. Normal gay people most likely ignore the month. The government on like everyone else.
…. We all make choices and mistakes, but to purposefully 
The none comparison area. I hope this assessment is not completely accurate and that there is a plan to circle back towards Civility. If the populace continue to think in terms of right and wrong, and continue to place the bull’s-eye on one side, or the other, the learning curve towards improvement gets pulled tight, so tight that there is no curve to learn from, only division / negative comparisons, God help us ! ….. They think God already is helping and once you think God is on your side, oh boy watch out, because humans have misunderstood God , Allah, and the rest of them in accurately, In my humble opinion. I’m starting to like this talk - type 
out internal differences, that are better left silent 
….. Am I comparing?
….. Maybe we need face readers
and he and his cronies make Stephen Colbert look like the Pope 
….. We simply can’t do that, it makes no sense.
but I understand….the passion is in the proper space, but maybe not the proper time or proper assessment.
