Met Police set to reopen 9,000 cases in major London grooming gangs probe

In some incidences, children as young as 11 who reported being raped saw trials against their attackers collapse and were left to become victims of further abuse.

Suspected grooming gang and child exploitation cases from the last 15 years will be reviewed as part of the investigation, Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said in letter to Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan on Friday evening.

A government-ordered audit into the grooming gangs scandal earlier this year found there is “mismatch” in the way the Met and London local authorities record child abuse.

Baroness Louise Casey’s report said the force logged 2.77 contact child sexual abuse cases per 1,000 children, while boroughs recorded just 1.3 child-in-need assessments for child sexual exploitation and 1.79 for child sexual abuse.

There also appears to be a significant overlap between child sexual abuse and county lines drug trafficking gangs.

OMG YES! It's all about upscale whites using minorities as a prop to differentiate themselves from downscale whites.

We ought to be happy with our sweet tea and greasy chips, the tiny measured treats that propel us faster into our graves eh?

@GoldThumb I have been thinking about your comment a lot. It agree in part but it is more complex. "They" hate themselves for not controlling us. We are "the British problem" and they have allowed us to fall out of line with what we are allowed to think. So they hate themselves for allowing us, the unruly children, to be naughty and make a fuss.
Remember the pandemic when everyone had to pretend to like us "key worker heroes" who played 'contagion' on the front line. We got claps instead of pay rises then and now it's sit down, shut up, your ration and take what's coming for us lot. But we're all sick of you and being told our children being raped is for the "greater good"

That’s exactly it, they are worth sacrificing for the ‘greater good’.

Who decides on this greater good?

It’s why you get so many insults of being thick, lazy, racist etc if you don’t go along with it.

Because these elites or middle class bleeding hearts are telling you what’s the greater good, and you’d see it only you stopped being so thick and racist.

@SionnachRuadh I am in Whitechapel, by coincidence at the moment and it is lovely tbh, having a great time. I think Rochdale, Halifax or Burnley is where my "betters" need to spend a week or 2 before telling me what I am allowed to think or you know, what happens to me, in my actual real life 😂

I don't mind Whitechapel and I go there often. I don't know why Whitechapel Fried Chicken brands itself that way when its kebabs are its real selling point... but Londoners and their fried chicken addiction is a wild thing. Our mayor is more passionate when bigging up Morley's than when he's talking politics.

Yes, I think it would open some people's eyes if they had to spend a couple of weeks in Rochdale.

Reminding me a bit of how many men are engaged in a status struggle with other men, and women are only seen as incidental tokens of success - or obstacles - within that framework.

Gender inequality and sexist behaviour is prevalent in almost all workplaces and rampant in online environments. Although there is much research dedicated to understanding sexist behaviour, we have almost no insight into what triggers this behaviour .....

@Swiftasthewind how many white women and girls need to be raped to offset one unit of racism?

I find it particularly distasteful that while the harms done to those girls are documented and appallingly harrowing, they are apparently less significant than some vague idea of 'racism' .

SionnachRuadh · 29/10/2025 16:15

These girls are seen as lesser, as we know. The wrong backgrounds. That's a huge part of why it's taken so long for them to even get a hearing. Class is never far away.

There's something about this thread that reminds me of Iain Dale, a few weeks ago, saying that when he sees a non-white face he feels glad in his heart and would like to know what has brought that person to Britain, the land of opportunity.

I mean come on Iain, tell us you live in Tunbridge Wells without telling us you live in Tunbridge Wells. If you lived in Whitechapel the novelty would wear off pretty quickly.

There's a certain type of privileged lefty who seems to have no knowledge of normie white Brits - except that they instinctively hate and fear normie white Brits, who they see as permanently on the brink of turning into a fascist mob - and also to have no knowledge of minority communities. It's all about upscale whites using minorities as a prop to differentiate themselves from downscale whites.

I didn’t answer your question because it looks like it’s designed as a ‘gotcha’ of some kind but since you insist, no I don’t think there’s very much at all worse than rape or torture on an individual level. To think otherwise would be absurd.

But the question does not allow for the fact of scale to be represented. When it comes to the issue of grooming gangs, I think it’s affected somewhere in the realm of 1400 girls I think I read somewhere, which is still 1400 too many. But when it comes to the TR march, and racism in society in general, we are talking about millions of people. Millions of people in this country who are making the lives of minorities a living hell every single day for the crime of not being the correct ethnicity. When you take into account the scale, that is why I advocate that the radicalisation of the working class is a much bigger issue overall.

It was at least 1400 in Rotherham alone, and thousands elsewhere. Almost certainly tens of thousands. We know Bradford was one of the worst affected places, and it's never been properly investigated.

Either you don't know anything about this issue or you're deliberately trying to minimise it.

ArabellaSaurus · 29/10/2025 15:40

'a living hell'

Like, rape and torture?

'the subsequent radicalisation of the working class are of much bigger concern than the issue of Pakistani grooming gangs'

Exactly what do you think is worse than rape and torture?

No answer to this, then.

Using working class white people or poor muslim communities for political manipulation is what has got us in this horrendous situation with Jess Philips having a meltdown and showing her arse last week.

The rapist who called himself "Daddy" in Rochdale was paid by local labour to distribute postal votes from the mosque.

This thread really starkly reveals some deeply unpleasant prejudice.

@Swiftasthewind did you see the Black lesbians marching? My mates, I was surprised by it but people are really angry and don't know where to go with their pain and frustration.

Tommy ten names uses the lies from the police, courts and councils about the rape gangs to bolster support - why do you think the marches are happening? Wake up.

The radicalisation of working class men, who in my case are not an abstract concept but my actual family, is due to the rapes and boats arriving. It is not innate racism because the sweaty disgusting mass of poor northerners needs leading to a more enlightened thought process by your dad! There will be race riots and a reform government if we have sacred classes of men who are allowed to rape and kill and the facts are kept from the people living in those communities by the police, councils and media.

It doesn't effect the Labour MPs in their mansions or you assume. Try a few nights in social housing in Rochdale and come back and defend your position.

I am sick of being told by stuck up academics that my friends and families lived experience matters less than a book you read in 1987. We know you look down on us, mock us and avoid us but only recently did I truly accept how much most middle class southerners HATE us and think that the rape of our children is a price worth paying for them to live in their make believe world of joyful "multiculturalism".

They don’t even hate you, they hate themselves.

That’s why they’ll self flagellate themselves at the alter of diversity, desperate to prove their allegiance to multiculturalism, no number of girls too great a sacrifice.

Case in point, the massive numpty at the march in Tower Hamlets, telling masked hooded Muslim men ‘we’re on the same side’ and being unequivocally told ‘no, we’re not’

Allow me to direct Swift's attention to Jeremy Corbyn's new party, where white Trotskyites have discovered that the Gaza MPs are not socialists.

I’m not advocating for or against anything like that, it’s just the way the demographic profile of the west is going and if you’re of the left then you may as well use it to your benefit.

To your benefit? It's mad some on the left think an influx of immigrants will be to their benefit. They're generally much more conservative and religious. Have you ever looked at polls on issues like rights for gay people?

GoldThumb · 29/10/2025 15:17

SionnachRuadh · 29/10/2025 15:05

throw a bit of appeasement out there every now and again until demographics get to the point where they aren’t even relevant as a voting bloc anymore.

That's quite a remarkable statement. We keep being told the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory, and you're openly advocating it.

It’s not true, and you’re a racist for suggesting it.

But if it were up to me, it would be true.

And I’m going to assume it’s true so I can use it to my advantage

And it’s happening anyway

How can anyone not see these things?
To puncture the bubble of radicalisation, the facts need to be faced up to and addressed head-on. No hiding, no trying to keep a lid on things (WTF?), no appeasement (WTAF?) Just deal with what actually happened.
