To ask you to watch this speech and wonder how, as mothers and a society, we can ensure this unspeakable, sickening stain on our history can never happen again. To anyone’s daughters.

This is today’s enquiry in Parliament which hears the hideous testimony of children who were trafficked and abused and raped by and like dogs.

He doesn’t want to be part of Reform….

Can I ask what he’s said that’s bad or what makes him reprehensible in your eyes?

Whats your take on the grooming gang scandal?

I’ll eat my hat if you reply to these questions in a decent and relevant way.

  • he constantly parrots the “anti white racism” white nationalist rhetoric
  • He is a known Islamophobe who says he “agrees” with Tommy Robinson
  • His party’s slogan is “millions must go”
  • he has an aggressive social media campaign aimed at stirring up racial dvivisons

How have we got to the place where people, on a public parenting forum, think it’s ok to share links and parrot the views from an individual who would give Nick Griffin a run for his money. Jeez…

Rupert Lowe: the most right-wing MP since 1945

The leader of the Restore party promotes immigration policies so extreme, that he’s even further right than the old BNP. His slogan, “millions must go”, is a clear indication of how, if given the chance, he’d rip British society apart

Interesting. And hopeful.

Many mothers I know won’t discuss it because they are more afraid of being accused of being racist than acknowledging many of our cities are dangerous for innocent children.

What do you mean by this? Are you questioning mothers at the school gates?

And you do? Are you pushing to get the rape scandal investigated? or are you part of the radical left on here who wish it would all go away and we forget about it?

He's the only MP actually doing something about it. Without him there would be no inquiry.

He’s doing something about it because he’s racist. He no more cares for those girls than the scum bags who trafficked and raped them. He wants votes.

Just because I don’t stand four square behind that far right arsehole, it doesn’t make me a member of the radical left.

Ugh I am so bored of these carefully prepared (Aai assisted?) posts from right wing posters. Telling me I must believe something, be outraged about something, feel a certain way.

There was one telling us this morning that Henry Nowak was despised by the police specifically because he was white -with no evidence-when his own parents had appealed for people to keep race out of it. It feels so bossy, and worse, as though the site is being infiltrated deliberately by people whose main occupation is - infiltrating social media sites.

Yes that's just my opinion but there seem to be a lot of posters posing as "concerned mothers", who seem to have a lot more time to craft their posts to match right wing "talking points" than most actual mothers would have to spare.

I’m a mum of three….. does that mean in your eyes I don’t have time to spare to post on mumsnet? Shock horror, I do have the time to spare…… alongside a full time job and a couple of hobbies.

Next you’ll be telling us mums to get back in the kitchen 🤣

He doesn’t care about the colour of peoples skin 🤣
Have you even bothered to listen to a thing he says? Or do you get snippets of information off of your echo chamber Facebook / instagram feed? Bless you.

That’s the man who wants to make it easier for UK citizens to marry their overseas born partners. Who cares not about people’s colour of skin but instead their contribution & behavior.

What he stands for resonates with a lot of normal people in this country, as most of us (me included) don’t care one bit about friends, colleagues and neighbors ethnicity, but we do care about the recent obliteration of our own safety, culture and norms.

A speech by Rupert Lowe!

He is leading an ethno nationalist party. His policies have been described as “more right wing than the BNP”. He has talked about deporting UK nationals based on the colour of their skin.

And he’ll use the rape of young white girls to push his racist agenda. A vile opportunistic grifter. So yes, YABU.

No, he specifically said not skin colour but incompatible cultures.

Would you agree that cultures who see puberty as the age of (I use this word loosely) consent, or who view white girls in care as whores, are incompatible to the traditional UK culture?

Edited

Wasn't part of the reason that this happened for so long because social workers and police saw these working class girls in care as promiscuous 'whores'(as you put it) making lifestyle choices?

I would say that that type of classism is very, very much compatible with traditional UK culture, it's baked into it.

Oh yes, the classism is so real. And the lower middle class lefty socialist workers and cops desperate to show their liberal credentials that make them feel so superior to the despised working class falling over themselves to share this pejorative view of those poor children.

But they were reacting to the endemic cultural sexual abuse by an incompatible culture. Not initiating it.

And then it became verboten to discuss, and cowardice is not confined to specific cultures.

Missing the point, but I really hate the phrase "like dogs". It's always tacked on to the most abusive actions, which no one should ever inflict on a living creature.

Stick0rTwist · 03/06/2026 20:30

This has been shown to be false because of lack of data for grooming gangs - 65% of the incidents reported are MISSING ethnicity data on the perpetrators, and not all incidents/perpertrators were/are reported to the police in the first place. What’s been reported to the police is a drop in the ocean compared to the scale of the abuse.

This has been proven in Jay report into the Rotherham gangs, the Home Office review and other inquiries. We have no idea the true scale or demographic of what’s gone on because of this lack of data.

This skewed data & statistics is something the police, the government & the left wing media cling on to, and cruelly use as a tool, to minimise what’s happened to these poor children. It’s downright misleading.
