Well the point, as far as I can remember, is those recommendations weren’t acted on.
And Labour were going to do that. Until people started bleating about cover ups, and insisting we have a second enquiry even though we didn’t even listen to the first.
Oh, I see. Wasn’t that a general CSA report that did not go into depth on the issue of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs and some members of that community who have less than palatable views on Western White women and girls - and indeed a minority of Sikh women & girls?
Did it not also fail to mention systemic cover-ups reported by victims themselves (and their family members) who went to police, councillors and MPs to report the atrocities inflicted up them and were told to go away. One father was arrested for banging on the door of the house where his daughter was being groomed, drugged, raped, and sexually enslaved by her abusers.
Another case where a girl was raped by a Pakistani-Muslim who then dumped her by the side of the road where she was picked up by another one in a taxi who then also raped her. She went to the police and they told her to get lost.
Also, under-age grooming gang victims were charged with prostitution when reporting what had been done to them.
This is obviously not at all laid exclusively at the feet of Labour but it was a part of it, according to victims and survivors themselves. They were then basically forced to call a national inquiry after the Casey report.
Genuine question, do you by chance happen to know who called the initial CSA report or the Casey one? I tried to find out who but failed.
EDIT:
Blimey… I actually believed this was true for years. Oof.
EDIT2:
OMG… this is rich coming from Braverman given how she’s spoken about Labour’s dealing with it since this story resurfaced in January.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman gave the government’s response to the Final Report, which was published in May 2023. She wrote in the foreword, “I am delighted that we have accepted the need to act on all but one of the Inquiry’s recommendations, and so demonstrate how seriously the Government takes the Inquiry’s findings. Each of those recommendations covers an extensive programme of work which will deliver real change for the future. I hope you will take the time to read our response to each in detail. But here I want to highlight three key measures which underscore the weight of our commitment to victims and survivors”.[59]
Honestly, I haven’t followed it that closely, and maybe I have missed a crucial bit of evidence.
I just find the whole narrative that Labour are covering it up to be highly suspect, especially when it was the Tories who held the initial enquiry and basically ignored all the recommendations.
And what was it that Boris said when asked about historic sex abuse? He made some stupid quip about it being pointless.
Yeah, the Tories have cynically used it for political gain. This is just so transparent, it’s not even funny. Kemi Badenoch didn’t give a shit until it blew up in 2025. She was blasting Labour gov about it and then it turned out she hadn’t even met a single victim. And was minister for WOMEN AND GIRLS! xD
The thing that gets me most of all though? There was a journalist on GBNews back in January when it all resurfaced who said she was in the newsroom of a major national newspaper and had all the evidence needed to go to print to expose this around the turn of the millennium but they bottled it because the source wasn’t…erm, errrr… clean enough. They were members of the BNP.
She just sampled it, but you almost certainly heard the original
Yes! I do recognise that. I now remember, wasn’t that song like everywhere for a little while?
Yeah, it really was. Assume they’re one hit wonders, cos I had no idea what the band was called til I started googling to try and find it, cos reading your post I was like “I swear that wasn’t a Nicki Minaj song” lol
If we had a popular vote system then reform would do very well. Under the current system nobody other than labour or tories can gain power. That’s what history shows. Same for America, it’s republican or democrat. It’s why Trump didn’t run as an independent he knew he couldn’t win that way.
I voted Reform as I think the illegal immigration problem we have in this country is critical and has caused so many problems for the public sector services
All very normal.
Lads, our government in waiting.
Oh we’re fucked
And the mainstream parties are going to somehow sit there looking like surprised Pikachu when it happens too.
It’s bizarre. It’s both completely unprecedented and really quite incredible that this is going to happen and yet completely banal and inevitable at the same time.
The turquoise Tories haven’t taken the best or brightest lol
It’s the decline of Europe in real time.
I don’t know how to feel sometimes, the two-party system I absolutely detest getting smashed. But as a consequence Farage of all people. Becomes PM.
I don’t think this will ever happen…
I used to think that. But now i think its inevitable. Hes got the big mo.
Farage getting PM hopefully gets us another independence referendum but I doubt it sadly we fucked it in 2014 (disclaimer I didn’t)
Irrespective of what happens…Scotland will always be better off as part of the United Kingdom.
I fear you may be right.
@Calum it seems we are destined to go down with the rest of the sinking ship.
All aboard!
