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 ?

@MojoMoon that's astonishing that the gov isn't held to account to act.

It's not gormless however to not know that.

Why don’t you read it for yourself?

@Chainzreaction does it seem realistic to you that one in thirteen girls in England is currently being systematically raped by migrant gangs, as per Musk's tweet? Or might he possibly be embellishing the (sordid enough) facts for his own ends?

And they were voted out. It is now Labour’s responsibility

Thats because Reform is a fascist party.

What inquiry?

Err they did.... they ve been calling for tougher safeguards and better Police action since 2014.

You obviously don't follow UK politics.

No. They were mostly in areas with Labour CITY councils (because they tended to be in deprived urban areas, which often vote for Labour City Councillors); but neither child protection nor policing is a city council function.

Child protection is usually a County Council responsibility (if you can use 'County Council' and 'responsibility' in the same sentence), And many areas with the gangs (e.g, where I live) had Tory County Councils though Labour City Councils.

The police are certainly not run by City Councils.

It's not party politics anyway; it's incompetence and irresponsibility and not giving a flying fuck about poor girls and those in the care (or don't-care) system. Here, many abusers were exposed after a victim was adopted by a middle class couple who were prepared to make a fuss, and were taken seriously, unlike poor kids.

I did.

I also don't like that politicians, such as George Galloway are being elected depending on how they view what's happening in other countries that wouldn't piss on the UK if it was on fire. Especially those countries that see women as chattel.
I'm not sure if Musk is more worrying than The Saudis buying every aspect of our culture and a lot of property, but posters won't agree. World events, all following a pattern, involving some people are mere coincidence.

Personally I would rather see resources used to implement the recommendations of the enquiries that have already taken place than have more enquiries.

It's pathetic of OP to hold Labour responsible for not implementing the recommendations while in opposition. Right wing loyalists will never hold the Tories accountable for their record in government.

There are a lot of bad faith posts on this thread.

RTFT

Why just since 2014?

Something else interesting

That was the excuse the police used to fail to protect thousands of girls too.

Thanks for this OP.
The fact that's it's taken someone from overseas to shine a light on this evil shows what an utter disaster of a country we are (Labour, Tories, local councils, police, judiciary etc).
For shame, Britain.

Musk and JK Rowling are not the same.

Rowling, not matter what criticism she may face, cares passionately about women and girls.

Her comments on this hold not agenda and I believe she will be equally as disparaging of Tories and Labour on this issue.

Can you provide a source for those numbers?

I don’t know much about American politics, but I think any system where the wealthy get political power is fucked.

Considering the government ignoring the victims I think anyone with the power to shine a light on this actually doing so is should a good thing.

Musk is entitled to his opinion, in the same way that you or I have an opinion.

With the caveat that those of us who are citizens/ voters in the UK should have some say in how things are done here.

So no, he doesn't have "every right to step in".

Loose affiliations of dodgy losers who hang around teens and try to have sex with them.

@Haroldwilson

Is that really what you think was happening in my home town of Rotherham?!

Are you forgetting about the mass-scale trafficking, selling, torture and mass rape of over 20000 young girls. You think they were just 'trying to have sex with them'?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did you also read Dominic Grieve's reply?

Care to provide any evidence of this what so ever?
