It is harrowing.

Thanks
I think I'm going to leave it till tomorrow.

I've only read a few extracts. Those poor girls and young women. I can't take any more right now, it just gets worse and worse.

I've started looking at it. The language is surprisingly emotive for a professional report (understandable given the subject matter but nevertheless surprising for a report of this nature).

The foreword by Lowe calls for the death penalty, which obviously we currently don't have.

I have a bad feeling about the likelihood of Lowe trading on these terrible experiences for political capital.

You don’t think he just passionately believes in what he says?

Thank you for posting. I know this has Rupert Lowe's name as chair but as I understand this is a cross party effort. I will read through over the next couple of days. We already know so much but what I am concerned with is whether anything has changed. How are children being protected right now?

Thank God that someone has organised a thorough investigation. What a pity that the politicians who were in power at the time did not act as Rupert Lowe MP has.

Its possible to be vehement and still be professional, in fact if you want to succeed in politics I would say its necessary.

I believe he's handed his opponents some ammunition and that that was a foolish and unnecessary thing to do. The language detracts from the gravity of the report and from the reasonable recommendations (some are reasonable. Some sound batshit and ill considered). It suggests a referendum on the death penalty - I'm worried that will overshadow anything else.

He wants to show that he's a politics A lister. I don't think he's succeeded in doing that.

I hope the report gets some traction and helps to get justice for the victims. Im worried that he's handed his opponents a reason to dismiss it.

He's written a foreword which I don't think comes across well.

I think there are serious issues here and they need to be seriously investigated and dealt with, but having Lowe's name attached instantly makes one suspect there may be other motives here which may have biased the investigation.

Yes these were atrocities.
Yes huge lessons need to be learned
No to prefacing the ‘report’ with: “Britain has an immigration problem”.
No to the cynical use of victims’ testimonies to further political propaganda and whip-up social division.
No to arguably further exploiting these victims.

This report has been written in such a way as to deliberately stir-up racial tension.

It was funded by Restore Britain. Which should ring alarm bells.

Such huge, important reviews need to be non-partisan. I don’t want to read propaganda.

Would you have said that if it was a Labour or LibDem MP as Chair of the enquiry?

I suspect they wouldn’t have used deliberately inflammatory, racist and anti-immigration language to cynically exploit these victims to their own political advantage. 🤷‍♀️

It's clear why there has not been a full enquiry before; the Schools, NHS, Police, Social Services, the Taxi services were, or perhaps still are, all complicit.

I do not doubt Lowe's integrity.

Me too.

Nor me but that's not a positive reflection on it.

It’s interesting that many of the initial comments are about how the report isn’t expressing itself properly, the wrong people are saying it, and how it’s going to be used to “create division” instead of what the report actually says.

All ways to dismiss the content without having to consider it at all.

Where have I heard that before?

No, they would have had their own biases – possibly downplaying or minimising aspects of the issues at hand. Much as, thanks to your biases, you're presenting their motives as being solely a cynical exploitation, rather than a genuinely held viewpoint that you just happen to disagree with.

Everyone has biases, but as long as the facts are presented clearly, it's the reader's job to filter through the information using their own critical thinking skills.

It's disappointing to see people already dredging up reasons to discount the report.

Wow bananarama about a report on the mass rape, abuse and torture of young girls that was ignored by all our institutions. An investigation our government refused to do so this had to be crowded funded.

At last the voices of the victims have been heard and the public can hear the true extent of what went on.

There isn't a nice way to say that. It's ugly, it hurts, but it was the reality for these girls. Most never got justice, but now they have been heard.

Their voices matter and if someone wants to say bring back the death penalty or if it causes 'racial tension' who cares. These girls and women are what matters and what we should care about.

Who commissioned this?

I disagree with Restore and Lowe on most things (obviously as a decendant of immigrants). But am fully aware that this inquiry has in some cases been the only way for the voices of so many victims to be heard.

The politicians and media I am usually on the side on have done nothing but mock or try to silence the victims. And this happened before with detransitioners.

We have seen this exact purity test before. Happily ignoring facts and the elephant in the room, because the 'wrong' people were saying it in the 'wrong' messy way.

I won't be making that mistake again. Change and support for the victims of the trans ideology only came about because both sides of the political aisle came together. I will be reading every detail, and doing what I can to help.

I read the death penalty part as referring to those convicted who go on to be deported frim the UK back to Pakistan and other countties.. Pakistan does carry out the death penalty and human rights lawyers here will do everything possible to prevent deportations.

I'm sorry I don't understand. Are you not able to or just choosing not to?

Man, this was harrowing.

I'm from the US, but my country also has a lot of politicians like this man Lowe. If anyone thinks he's sowing decisiveness, he's only successful because no one you might perceive as good faith is don't anything but scolding the people who notice what's going on, some of them even mocking the victims' pain.
