Sadiq Khan cover up of London rape gangs

Same here as another brown woman. No child should experience these horrors. I felt sick when it first came out, some of the stuff I read just haunts me.

I feel deeply ashamed that as a country we haven’t dealt with this forcefully and openly. I feel ashamed that we still have people in positions of leadership who don’t have the moral decency to want this dealt with and every single person involved held to account. I feel sick that children were abandoned and criminalised for being raped.

Who is it for? Who can possibly be so important that people can sleep at night full well knowing they are complicit in hiding crimes against kids.

I feel horrified by how the survivors have been treated by this sham of an inquiry. It’s one thing to say you didn’t know but we have people doing their best to make sure this doesn’t get proper scrutiny, you have people like Khan who will claim he didn’t know because he uses a different word for it (he’s a prick, a snivelling weasel of a man) , people moaning about racism. We are talking about things like sexual torture, threatening children with violence against their families. Can you imagine the terror these girls (and a few boys too) went through.

Oh I am fucking furious.

Get a senior judge from outside the country as the ones in the UK seem too reluctant to get involved.

This is so true.
If people don’t trust our politicians then it creates a vacuum for racists to exploit.
We need people who can be trusted to act in good faith in the interests of women from all communities.

Pelicot had no problem in rural France. Cities must be so easy in comparison

I think when all the evidence comes out about how Sadiq has covered up things, to protect his 'community' people will be beyond horrified. His disdain for women is there for all to see-the fact he cares so little for young white girls is disgusting.

I do need to read more about this.
As a brown woman myself, I firmly believe the safety of all women and girls must come first before any religious or cultural sensibilities. No ifs or buts.

Marking to read later.
I have been a supporter of Sadiq till now, but if he has ignored grooming gangs, he must be called out.

Yes, for his safety, after racists whipped up threats on social media 🤔

Completely agree with this, it would come out in the wash of a proper investigation wouldn’t it. So why hesitate.

I remember seeing an interview with the dad of one of the rapists in rotherham I think. He basically said the parents should have looked after their kid better. Like that absolved his son of responsibility for being a rapey paedo. This sounds a bit like that.

It wasn’t Charlene Downes fault she had shit parents, there is absolutely no justification for what happened to her.

I never said that I mean if her parents had been less neglectful she might still be here.
Ironically she was about to be taken into care before she vanished

This. So if a child has neglectful parents somehow their disappearance and likely murder is warranted and the perpetrator somehow less bad?

Im sorry, im not sure what you are trying to say. None of that, absolutely none, means that Charlene's disappearance and very likely murder should have happened or that the police response should have been so shabby.

And yes I know the background I'm from Blackpool and was living there at the time charlene went missing.

Is this the same Charlene Downs whose parents invited paedophile into the home and the same Charlene whose mother didnt report her missing for 3 days?

When I've seen Khan on question time he is obviously out of his depth, I often wondered how he could 'run' a city like London but I see he has a little posse to help him.

Labour HAVE to get a grip here.

this is the only way the survivors will be able to make themselves heard.

which is definitely illustrative that there’s been an issue in terms of transparency of process.

it’s a bad day when people have to whistle blow about an inquiry into serious safeguarding failures
