I think you find that the perpetrator is many of them are in jail and more grooming gangs have been found to end up in jail. I live in Dewsbury so I know that’s happened. It’s got fuck all to do with Musk and it’s got fuck all to do with Tommy Robinson, but I know your type and this is what you live for Telling lies go back to your far right shitty friends

How is that good enough though?! They shouldn't have been allowed form in the first place . How do we know it's not happening now or may again in the future we don't.
What about the victims???

I think you’ll find there were more white grooming gangs than Asian. But obviously that doesn’t make a good headline or get support from people like Elon Musk.

Anyone who thinks Elon Musk actually cares needs to have a rethink. This isn’t about the girls, this is about Elon Musk shit stirring.

Aye and those should be addressed too. I'm not sure how that makes this scandal which was based very much on a particular culture and attitude to white western girls any less abhorrent?

Yeah, this is it for me. He's not a government official last time I checked, just a rich bloke.

“Just a rich bloke”

LOL! How did he get so rich? The richest man in the world? You should really do some research on him…

Putin?

Strange that he didn't say anything about Matt Gaetz.

Absolutely he was a sick fuck and you know what isn’t it? Strange that none of them give a shit when it’s white men doing this shitty crime of being child abuses sex abuses let’s have a look at the history of Donald Trump shall we?

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

Love the fact they ignore the public enquiry which reported in 2022 (www.iicsa.org.uk/reports-recommendations/publications/inquiry/final-report.html) and the fact the Tory government did not implement ANY of the recommendations.

Of course this Government should do so, but it's not something for them to be embarrassed about.

It has been covered by the media. And it is only the Asian gangs that have been covered. The white gangs have never got no where near as much exposure and coverage.

Because part of the outrage is at the proven coverup which was specifically due to the ethnicity and religion of the “Asian” gangs.

I’m aware that several white gangs have been prosecuted and imprisoned, I’m not aware of the same level of allegations re coverup and corruption.

GreenTeaLikesMe · 03/01/2025 09:20

One theory about Elon Musk is that he's become unhealthily obsessed with UK politics due to his misuse of drugs especially ketamine: this is causing him to stay up all night in vampire mode, scrolling and posting endlessly on Twitter. As the Americans go to bed, it's the British people who are awake during the long hours of the night and early morning in US time, causing his attention to focus on the UK while his body and brain are increasingly unhinged by the late nights, drugs and unhealthy living.

Ime when a story is only being reported by GB News and amplified by far-right agitators, there is more to it. This is of course a distressing event for the girls involved, but the government have to look at wider considerations.

These are historic events dating back decades, which have already been investigated. What we don’t want is far-right activists jumping on these for their own racist and xenophobic ends and leading to community and national tensions.

These offences took place decades ago and have been impartially investigated away from the political arena. It’s not surprising that the far right are reluctant to move on, but it is now time to do so. Let’s not give the thugs any further ammunition.

"Impartially investigated" - you are in a very slim minority of people who actually believe this (if you genuinely do).

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 03/01/2025 09:21

@DancingNotDrowning you're saying a quarter of million girls have web raped and abused by brown people?

I really don't think you're terribly bright, tbh. Ashamed of myself. Off you pop you silly old thing.

And I think rape and abuse is a massive problem for all colours and creeds.

And yes there are many racist people about who ascribe it immigrants only.

Tommy Robinson had failed to addrsss similar problems among those on his own ranks.

You are right how do we know it’s happening again? We don’t how do we know? Any child abuse is happening? Fucking doesn’t happen to be about Muslims. What about white grooming gangs? What about the fact that right now? On the Internet? There are dodgy men up and down this country we don’t know do we? So why single out one aspect?

Of course, because Musk really cares and isn’t just using this as another way to promote his far right policies and get Farage elected.

This horror absolutely needs to be fully investigated but Musk should not be allowed to interfere in UK politics in the way he is doing - he is an incredibly dangerous man.

TRIGGER WARNING RAPE

Did you read what we have all been reading. Mohammed Karrar inserted an air pump into an 11yr olds girls anus and put a red ball gag in her mouth so she could be raped simultaneously by 4 men. Thats what he tweeted out when he started giving Labour a kicking

People need to stop with this rightwingers don’t care about children shit. EVERYONE who is not a paedophile would have read that and felt horrified. EVERYONE.

Boomer55 · 03/01/2025 09:22

Musk is constantly criticising Starmer about everything. We are entitled to do that but our politics is nothing to do with Musk.🙄

Perhaps he should concentrate on the wide scale child abused in America. 🤷‍♀️

And yes, there is very strong evidence that racial "sensitivity" was a reason why a lot of this was brushed under the carpet. Some people need to be bloody jailed for a long time for what has happened here.

That does not alter the fact that ketamine-addled billionaires like Musk should not be meddling dangerously in UK politics like some kind of weird new hobby. Those who are happy he is pissing about in UK politics: You do realize that he puts US interests and those of his businesses first and foremost? What happens if he urges Trump to take steps to harm the UK economically as well, will you all be OK with that?

ChannelFiveDrama · 03/01/2025 09:23

@ThejoyofNC I'd trust him over any of our so called government.

Honestly this is beyond ridiculous. Disliking Labour is one thing but you've lost all critical thought if you hold Yaxley-Lennon up as a beacon of truth.

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 03/01/2025 09:25

I wonder how many bleated about Obama talking about Brexit as "interfering" but don't mind Musk sticking his oar in.

All perpetrators of abuse should be nailed and prosecuted and imprisoned forever.

Wonder why the Tory government didn't do anything on their 14 years of power. Strange

AgnesX · 03/01/2025 09:25

Elon Musk would do better to focus on his own country, regardless of policy.

Exactly I’ve just mentioned that they are a bunch of hypocrites. I heard the radio last night where a typical reform voter was going. Oh it’s great that Elon Musk is doing this but when the presenter said right so imagine if somebody rich gave the same sort of money that they want to give to reform to the green party he was oh well that’s not gonna happen is it? And he goes why are you bothered by it? Because you’re happy with Elon yeah but that’s because he agrees with me that’s exactly their mindset. They only give a shit because it’s on their side.

Who said anything about him being a beacon of truth? I said I found the content of his documentary shocking.

And yes I absolutely do believe a man who was so outraged by the grooming gangs that he was willing to go to prison to share the information he had found, over a government who have done everything possible to cover it all up.

Can you explain please what Mohammed Karrar's horrific crimes have to do with the current government? Why wasn't Musk tweeting about the case in 2013?

This. I agree that this needs to be investigated but Musk's interventions in British politics are entirely self-serving and alarming.

He didn’t go to prison for that get your fucking facts right? He’s in prison because he tried to interfere with a court case and said some liable stuff against a boy in Huddersfield which the court said he wasn’t able to do and he still went against what they said that’s why he’s in prison do not be fooled And the reason I know that is because I live down the road in Dewsbury it was a Syrian boy

tigger1001 · 03/01/2025 09:28

"Who cares what his reasons are this is very positive in shining a light on what has been a massive cover up.
Why are posters trying to deflect by saying he's interfering? So what! His interference is needed as the UK has done fuck all .."

There are two very separate issues though.

  1. why no one has fought for these girls before, including the public.

And

  1. why is musk asking for the government to be dissolved? One isn't anything to do with the other. And musk is the real man of power at the moment in the USA.

Highlighting it is one thing - actively stirring in uk politics is very much another and highlights the danger of the man,

He's using these girls, who have already been through a terrible terrible ordeal for his own political means.

We can care about both - we can demand enquiries and we can demand that musk gets out of uk politics as that's also dangerous
