Lol, did you really just ask that? Look at what Lowe stands for, entirely different to the other parties.

They are not Lowe's testimonies.
If you cannot see beyond your personal prejudice towards him you are part of the problem.

Many many Muslims in this world who are peaceful.

Good to see acknowledgement that this is a much bigger issue, something I was aware of (unknowingly!) as a young teenager 25 years ago, in the south west… eg who to stay away from, the men hanging around venues (totally sober) and who they would approach.

I think there are serious issues here and they need to be seriously investigated and dealt with, but having Lowe's name attached instantly makes one suspect there may be other motives here which may have biased the investigation

Would you have said that if it was a Labour or LibDem MP as Chair of the enquiry?

Lol, did you really just ask that? Look at what Lowe stands for, entirely different to the other parties.

Some replies on this thread - even now - explain clearly why this abuse was ignored - encouraged - for so long. People saying wrong writer, wrong people , I won't read it etc - make me sick. Those sort of apologist people are the reason mass grooming and sex abuse of very young white working class girls by older Pakistani / Pakistani British men, was covered up in the first place. Disgusting.

And by the way - those days are gone. People aren't afraid to call out what they see in front of them, any more.

And the Bible explicitly contains incest as a moral "good". In most US states there is no legal minimum age to get married. You may also have heard about the international sex trafficking ring run by that well known Muslim convert Jeffrey E who has ties to other Muslims like Andrew and Donald.

And?
None of that means we should ignore the mass rape of white girls by Muslim men.
The church is always being investigated. Rightly so. But then again they are white.

Testimonies are stories, they are the life scripts of the victims, their lived experiences. You seem to want to have a fight and I have no time for rows over nonsense. Think what you like, I think that the victims deserve better than this report.

They weren’t going to get it though, were they? Many of these women participated in this inquiry (led by the amazing Sammy Woodhouse, Rotherham survivor) because they were let down by the government one. You know, the one they didn’t want to hold in the first place but were obliged to u turn on due to public pressure?

'Stories'

These aren't stories. They are testimonies of child rape and torture victims and impact statements.

Plus, I believe if you read the response I was replying to, I was specifically asked if I can separate out the stories!

If UK culture and dominant religions didn't treat women as second class citizens, we wouldn't have UK born and bred rapists.

Nobody says we don't have them. They are dealt with accordingly.
In general- they do not form organised networks.
We all see the photographs of those that are actually prosecuted. The usual vape shop/take away suspects.
Why are you so determined to downplay this?
Are you racist?
Do you think the girls deserved it?
Shall we just not bother to look into it for fear oof upsetting the perpetrators?
Shall we all just stay quiet like good little white people?

The tide is turning, and not a moment too soon.

I have only read the first page and the beginning of the second page of this thread.

Jesus wept! The people who are moaning about Lowe are really missing the point.

I had been reading extracts such as the one I have attached, and I came back to this stupid purity whinging. What a fucking joke.

I’m not reading anything that Lowe is associated with. The last thing his mob of supporters care about is women’s rights. It’s just a vehicle for racism.

It's a shame that the rape of women and girls is only worthy of your attention if the right person talks about it in exactly the right way.

Shedmistress · 17/06/2026 10:03

The wrong people donated to make it happen
The wrong people held the inquiry
The wrong people wrote up the testimonies

But instead of saying 'where were the right people, the ones I agree with, to do all this' all we get is 'I'm not reading it'.

Brilliant. Well done you. Pat yourselves on the back. Virtue Signal Performed.

Sorry, was that supposed to be a contribution to the debate? I think you might have missed a bit off your post if so.

I am extremely well educated thank you and can separate out the stories. I have no wish to. There are enough things about that report to annoy me without getting repulsed by just the intro.

I can think about the victims without reading the report at all. I have no doubt about the veracity of their testimony. I feel they have been done a great disservice by the introduction, which should have focused on them first and foremost. They deserve better.

I imagine Lowe cares about these girls and what they went through as least as much, if not more, than many right thinking progressive types. And I mean that.

I truly struggle with this viewpoint. Is it so hard to be able to read the stories of victims, think about them, and separate them from the opinions and angles of the report’s author(s)? This skill is taught in school, or at least was at mine!

A testimony is a testimony. It is not hard to take the facts stated and come to your own conclusions. Unless you are implying the actual stories of the victims are lies? I suppose that’s what happened to these girls for decades, so it seems feasible you may do the same.

Crikey.

A report on the systematic abuse of thousands of girls and the inability to do anything about it because of the fear of being called 'racist' is not worth bothering about.

You realise that is the very reason nobody did anything? So you are just playing the exact same game? Nice.

This.
