Aibu to be very happy Elon Musk is putting so much pressure on Stamer over the grooming gang tragedies?

Labour seem to be very annoyed. Surely this is a very good thing ?

Well as a mother of three young girls I am angry & sickened that this has taken place. These victims were children. I am very glad Musk has put the spotlight on England, girls & women must be kept safe in this country.

We do. Many of us are worried Musk is trying to undermine this and get it changed.

Why does that matter? As long as SOMEONE does it, surely that is the main thing - he has a voice and is using it!

Sadly I think you're right.

Apartheid Clyde is not putting pressure on Starmer because he gives a f..k about the grooming gangs. If he was he would have spoke up when the previous government declined the call for a national enquiry.

He is trash and I cannot wait for him to disappear from the public eye.

You don't care about his motives? Well you should. And remember he has just helped a sex offender into the White House.

If Labour actually wanted to sweep this under the carpet, all they need to do is copy the Tories playbook and set up another enquiry that won’t report for another decade, which can then be completely ignored as well.

I’d rather they implemented some of the recommendations of the previous enquiries myself.

At least you acknowledge cancel culture is insidious. That is something.

And his interference in foreign politics is disturbing. I cannot believe Luigi targeted the healthcare CEO when Clyde is right there…..

YABU to think Musk gives a shit about this issue.

As awful as Musk is, I do think we would do well to reflect a little on how issues like this arise and go largely unpunished or resolved.

Americans like Musk give zero fucks about what people think about them. Culturally on our little island we care far too much about what our neighbours/friends/enemies think. We would rather let young girls be drugged and raped than be perceived as racist.

Yes . We must never forget. I think Elon will be a great asset to US politics however I'm glad he's not afraid to call out over governments as he sees fit.

"I think it's also worth asking why the right wing ex government ignored the recommendations at the time. Certainly it's something that needs to be said to the likes of Badenoch every time she seeks to discuss the issue."

Just as Labour has blocked an inquiry into Sir Keir Starmer’s conduct as the head of the Crown Prosecution Service while investigating the Oldham child grooming scandal.

If he did, he has the means to make huge contributions to the agencies who work with the victims and make a difference to those communities.

Absolutely. I agree He's exploiting a vacuum engineered by three changes in government, in which the abuse, rape and torture of over 250,000 vulnerable white, working class girls was swept under the carpet and then carefully managed and minimised so as to not rock the boat, leaving communities feeling it unheard and unrepresented.

Now you're talking Elon!!!

@Chainzreaction why isn't he calling out his own government over the hundreds of thousands of children suffering the same fate in America?

You have a link to that claim?

I would be interested to hear what most of the posters think happened between these men and these girls? I understand this is potentially triggering but it feels like you want to believe they were in romantic relationships. This is exactly why the abuse happened. Honestly if you aren’t brave enough to read what actually happened stop accusing people who talk about it honestly of being racists.

1. There has already been an enquiry
2. studies have shown the grooming gangs are predominantly white
3. I just don't believe the 250,000 figure. The entire population of Oldham is less than that.

I have read through this, so I know there has been an enquiry, not acted on, and am waiting for evidence of the white gangs to add to the churches etc on the white side,

But as I read of Musk, supporter of a rich white abuser of women, who believes he can influence our monarch (What pressure is he going to use? Something about the king's brother?) I'm hearing an earworm from Horrible Histories. Marcus Licinius Crassus' minted song. "I'm the world's richest geezer, there's no-one richer than me." Crassus helped to enable the shift from Republic to Empire, not a good thing for democracy. He came to a sticky end, trying to defeat the inhabitants of what is now Iran. But not after he had been responsible for thousands of deaths by crucifixion of the slaves who supported Spartacus. Rule by rich geezers doesn't go well for the rest of the people.

THERE'S ALREADY BEEN AN INQUIRY!
Perhaps if people like you paid some fucking attention things may change. But you only seem to care when megalomaniacs like EM get involved.

The rape of children by so-called grooming gangs has been ( and still is ) a huge issue in my home town.
Our local MP campaigned for a Rotherham style enquiry in to it but our Labour run council blocked it.

There's already been an inquiry. https://www.iicsa.org.uk/

It started in 2015 and ended in 2022. The then Conservative government and Kemi Badenoch didn't implement the recommendations. This current Labour Party should implement them.

Elon Musk is rather late to the party on this issue.

for too long 'political correctness' has been seen as more important than protecting girls from sexual predators-this has to change. If we have a problem with a certain demographic we have to be able to state that.
