An Article that shows Another Example of how useless Starmer is

Posted by Norman Dunn on 18/6/2025, 4:07 pm

A prime minister like Starmer who only acts when forced to do so by others inspires neither confidence nor respect. But this is something we have seen repeatedly with Keir Starmer and this Labour government. The latest – and arguably most egregious – example is the U-turn on holding a full national inquiry into grooming gangs.
In January, Starmer accused politicians calling for such an inquiry as 'jumping on the bandwagon of the far right”.
Robust debate, Starmer said can only be based on true facts” even though the facts have been there for years.
Thousands of vulnerable girls have been groomed and raped by groups of men, disproportionately of Pakistani heritage.
We knew from Alexis Jay’s report in 2014 – 11 years ago – that 1,400 children were sexually exploited in Rotherham alone between 1997 and 2013. And that was a “conservative estimate”. Stories first appeared in the media in 2007, by Julie Bindel in the Sunday Times Magazine. The late Andrew Norfolk of the Times published hundreds of articles from 2011 on child rapes perpetrated across England.
Some of those closest to the Prime Minister privately warned him last year in stark, emotional terms about the scale of the collective failure to protect the most vulnerable girls & that some of the responsibility lay with Labour-run or Labour-dominated local authorities – in Rotherham, Rochdale and elsewhere & one of the most shameful episodes of British history,
Louise Casey points out in her National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, released on 16 June, “we are talking about multiple sexual assaults committed against children by multiple men on multiple occasions including beatings and gang rapes”. Earlier this month, survivors of the abuse spoke to BBC Newsnight. A lady called Kate (not her real name) was raped “almost daily” by “multiple Pakistani men each day”. Another girl,Fiona was plied with drugs and violently raped from the age of 14 & then shortly after she was taken into care. Another girl, Chantelle wasin the care system when she was first abused and drugged at 11 years old. The perpetrators of these crimes were all gangs of British Asian men. Because Starmer had to ask troubleshooter-in-chief Casey to decide whether a national inquiry was needed is disgraceful cowardice. For the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, to declare on the day Casey’s report was published that the systematic rape of girls marked “a stain on our society and a failure of those who were meant to protect them” – only after someone else gave the government permission to say so – was pure chutzpah. Even when confirming his change of heart, the Prime Minister made no compelling case of his own for why these crimes needed proper examination. Rather, Casey had “come to the view there should be a national inquiry” and he would “accept her recommendation”.
But this shameful U-turn is part of a wider pattern of this government effectively subcontracting out difficult decisions to others. It looks weak, directionless and lacking in conviction as a result.

Unfortunately the buck doesn’t stop at Starmer’s door, the Tories should have done more when they were in power but, it seems as though we couldn’t upset our Muslim brethren in case we were called racist.

I sincerely hope that everyone involved in the cover ups, including Starmer if it is proven that he was in ok ed at some stage, should get a very severe custodial sentence they all deserve it after letting these young girls suffer the way they did. I read an article that some authority when told that a girl was being sexually abused had said that it was her own fault as she had been orostituting herself since she was 10 years old, if they thought that they should have helped the child, she was a child after all, not left her to be constantly abused that is child cruelty they all should be ashamed of themselves, including the police forces involved, imagine the outcry if just one case of sexual abuse by a white gang on an Asian girl would bring.

Let’s hope this enquiry does not drag in for years the people involved must be brought to Justice sooner rather than later.

Absolutely Liz. All Political Parties/Police Forces/Local Authorities share the blame and there are only a few people who "blew the whistle" who can at least say "we tried but were ignored".
These are the folk deserving "honours" not b***** footballers, so called stars and other random clowns elevated to the House of Lord, chosen, it often seems, for their inabilities!!

It’s a stain on our country, and this useless word Racist has been used by Politicians, Councillors and Police , to shut anyone down who dared to raise the subject. It’s annoying to read none of those found guilty have been deported.

I didnt think an MP could be as stupid

Norman, another Labour MP Darren Jones, said last week most of the dinghies from France were full of babies, children and women. Do these MPs think we are stupid or just don’t care what we think.

In the Telegraph this morning they have said that some of a groom8mg gang haven’t been deported to Pakistan because they have destroyed their passports, so what if they have done that and Pakistan won’t take them back then Pakistan should be told if they don’t accept these people then no more aid or visas. If these people are not sent back to Pakistan then maybe chemical castration might be an answer, just a thought.

Why do we let scum outwit us with their lies ????
Ploys like that shouldnt work & neither should other ones they use like 'I have family here' or 'I am gay & they will kill me'
Who cares, deport them for insulting our intelligence.

Regardless of what is being said this lot should be put on plane to Pakistan immediately

Posted by Liz Dance on 19/6/2025, 12:16 pm, in reply to "Re: An Article that shows Another Example of how useless Starmer is"

Totally ridiculous, if our Government continues to go along with this they should be removed from power immediately. This lot should be put on a plane to Pakistan and if Pakistan refuse to accept them then just let them remain stateless in an airport somewhere in Pakistan, it’s about time we got tough like Trump.

Norman, as long as the lawyers can claim our taxes (legal aid) to use for their appeals, it will go on for ever. Set aside by Tony Blair to pay for their Human Rights. Of course we know whose pocket, it goes into. The legal profession of course.
