The majority of grooming gangs are white - but the ones that get the most attention are the Asian grooming gangs. I'm sure all of us are equally repulsed by grooming gangs. You don't feel more strongly than the rest of us, OP. Don't try and claim that you do.
I just hope you're also writing letters to your MP about the white grooming gangs. I hope that you, Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins etc. are as equally disgusted by white grooming gangs. Because all I hear from these people is complete silence when white people commit crimes against children. Not surprising I suppose when several of Tommy's mates from the EDL have been convicted of child sexual offences.

I have never mentioned the colour of any gangs skin. That is you. I am specifically referring to the gang that EM is referring to, that is the one in the news at the moment. Why are you bringing race into this?

Remember Musk called the man who helped saved the Thai boys trapped in a cave a ‘pedo guy’, all because Musk couldn’t save the boys himself.

This man has zero credibility. He’s more like a man child.

Actually the cave diver himself called Musk’s so called help a ‘PR stunt’. And that’s what this latest cynical move by Musk is.

So calling out child sex abuse is now "right wing"...

If you really think Elon Musk has these children's interests at heart, you must be blind. He favours Right wing politics

Meanwhile it is Jess Phillips a left wing Minister who calls herself a feminist (!) thinks this disgraceful ongoing scandal should be left in the hands of the local council (Oldham). You couldn't make it up.

I know that's a separate thread again. I am appalled at her behaviour. Just why? This is a national & now (thanks to EM) an international scandal.

I hope Elon keeps this up until we get the inquiry. He seems very good and stepping in when our government is covering up

Jesus fucking Christ. Are you really this stupid, or just pretending to be thick as pigshit? Maybe try learning to read, and looking at Musk’s history. And then perhaps you can present a considered point of view.

CorbyTrouserPress · 03/01/2025 15:55

@Chainzreaction please can I have a copy of a letter you sent to your MP so I can do the same

Elon is referring specifically to Asian grooming gangs.
The only reason I'm brining race into this is because Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson and all the others only focus on grooming gangs of one particular ethnicity. Why do you think this is when there are actually more white grooming gangs? Could it perhaps be because they have an agenda? These heroes who care so much about young girls, only seems to care when they're being abused by brown people. Why isn't Elon Musk calling out the abuse and rape of young girls that happened at the hands of Epstein and his mates? Oh because it would it would upset Trump. Why doesn't Tommy Robinson call out the EDL child sexual abusers?

Whatsinanamehey · 03/01/2025 15:57

Whilst some may agree or disagree with Elin's views, he really should step back from meddling in our politics. He already has Trump under his thumb and it looks like he's now going to try to get Farage in so he can control him too. He is a dangerous man who is using this scandal to further his own agenda.

MrsSchrute · 03/01/2025 15:57

Why not put your energy into pressuring the government to follow through on the findings of the inquiry we have already had?

I can’t see any mainstream US or European coverage so I think your thanks to Elon are premature.

OneAmberFinch · 03/01/2025 15:58

Musk is an intense, autistic billionaire

Tommy Robinson is a petty criminal

Rupert Lowe is an MP for a party that has reducing immigration as its core issue

They don't have a lot in common and they've got their own lives and concerns and pet issues that influence what they think. But I genuinely, earnestly, in my heart believe that on this issue they are motivated by genuine horror and anger at what has been done to these girls.

I don't know why everyone is so focused on pedantry re: we technically already had an inquiry. There is clearly still deep community frustration so perhaps these posters would be kind enough to point to specific recommendations from the inquiry/ies that they believe should get extra funding or pushes, and then we'll be able to organise around something specific instead of asking for an inquiry.

There. Has. Been. An. Inquiry.

I don’t know how much more clearly it can be said

there was an enquiry (so calling for another is stupid)

the government at the time did nothing (oddly they’re not being criticised for this, rather it’s the fault of the people not in power)

the current government are enacting the recommendations (oddly this is being ignore)

OP what the actual fuck are you calling for?

There. Has. Been. An. Inquiry. Maybe we should just keep quoting this comment to fill up the thread!? There has been an inquiry, which the Tories (the same Tories who are now blaming Labour) ignored.

Everything Musk says and does is mere is political dog whistling because Musk wants right wing lunatics in charge. And this thread shows that there are quite enough dumb shits in the world to keep giving him exactly what he wants.

Well the youngest children reported in the grooming gang scandal that I am referring to has been 10 & eleven , tweens. Has there been younger that haven't been reported? Can you link please. Thank you.

Ah, no. You don't get to wriggle out of your shitty attitude and phrasing that easily.

Either you care about all children and are interested in reopening the inquiry because you want the country to learn lessons and to work better to prevent this happening again . Or you only care about using the children already identified as being victims of abuse in the past because you want to score points off the current government (which, quite frankly, is despicable behaviour).

Either you care about the teenagers too or you don't. No middle ground.

Well done to these brave women speaking out today demanding a new inquiry. It's the very least they deserve.

Being manipulated here just as much as when she was groomed.

That shows how much you know. I have been calling this out since 2015. It is one of the biggest scandals in modern Britain. It is very important that it stays to the forefront of our minds to protect this current & future generation of children.

And yet you didn't know about the 2022 inquiry?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/01/2025 16:03

Chainzreaction · 03/01/2025 16:02

Their needs won’t be helped by powerful and unpleasant men who don’t give an actual shit about them playing politics with their pain.

No. You insinuated that younger children were also attacked by this group that this discussion is about. The youngest reported have been tweens or 10 & 11 so I'm asking you for links as I hadn't read of any younger . So please post your evidence.

I don't agree. Has every single person who was complicit (authority figures, those who knew what was happening) been charged or just the rapists?
