Islamization of the West

Three women who were left devastated by historical child sexual exploitation in Oldham have told the BBC ministers should have spoken to survivors before deciding not to conduct a government-led inquiry into grooming gangs in the town.

Jane and Amelia, who survived abuse more than 15 years ago, and Sarah, whose son was exploited in the town while he was in care, called on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to meet them and hear their stories.

Ministers rejected Oldham Council’s request to conduct an inquiry, saying the council should lead it.

There are a lot of animals who should be rotting in jail.

It is always interesting to watch a dam burst. In the past week, as Elon Musk and other prominent Americans discovered the British ‘grooming gang’ scandal, British politics has suddenly had to face up to something it has spent a quarter of a century trying to ignore. One would hope that the claim that thousands of underage girls had been gang-raped by thousands of men in cities across the country would be a subject of profound concern for our politicians. Who did this? Why? How can we help the victims and prevent any reoccurrence?

But no society asks questions to which it does not want an answer. The language used about this mass crime has been coyly euphemistic. Take ‘grooming’. Can you say that the girl in Oxford who was repeatedly drugged and raped by men who threatened to kill her and branded her buttocks with ‘M’ for ‘Mohammed’ was merely ‘groomed’?

Over three-quarters of Britons support a fresh investigation into child sex abuse by what are called predominantly Pakistani grooming gangs, something the labour government of Sir Keir Starmer has set itself hard against.

The survivor of a grooming gang has called on the Government to launch a national inquiry into the scandal.

In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph’s Daily T podcast, the 38-year-old, who wrote a book about her ordeal under the pen name Gaia Cooper, demanded action from Sir Keir Starmer.

The mother of two, raped by multiple Muslim men after being groomed as a 14-year-old in 1999, said: “We know how many people were killed in Grenfell. We know how many people died at Hillsborough. We don’t know how many survived this.

The rape-gang scandal makes it abundantly clear that liberalism, as it has been practiced for decades in the West, is the suicide note of a civilization.

I just came back from three days on Mount Athos, the Orthodox Christian monastic enclave on an isolated peninsula in northeastern Greece. To enter Athos and its archaic monastic culture is to leave time, at least for a few days. To come back down the mountain and go back to the world is to return to history. And these days, history is moving vividly and fast—and for Europe, towards some sort of cataclysmic reckoning.

What more can be said about the Islamic rape gang scandal in the United Kingdom? Not enough. Not enough until something massive and substantial happens to right what has gone very, very wrong in that country, which has been cursed by its ruling class in government, academia, media, and other institutions.

Should Britain, as has been suggested by Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, block immigrants coming from countries with “backward, frankly mediaeval attitudes to women”? He’s been backed by leader of the Conservatives Kemi Badenoch, who has previously said that not all cultures are “equally valid” and that immigrants need to “love this country”.
These comments have been driven by the recent furore in Parliament over the rape gangs. Jenrick, among others, has argued that these crimes happened in part because many of the perpetrators came from “alien cultures”, which have very different attitudes to women – to say the least.

Labour’s definition of Islamophobia bars discussion of grooming gangs, Kemi Badenoch has told MPs.

The Tory leader used Prime Minister’s Questions to ask Sir Keir Starmer to cancel his party’s adoption of the definition used by the all-party parliamentary group on British Muslims.

The definition warns against using symbols and images associated with Islamophobia to “characterise Muslims as being ‘sex groomers’.”

The class prejudice of the so-called experts blinded them to the sexual abuse of working-class girls.

In 2009, I completed my PhD thesis – an intense, five-year-long piece of research into the experiences and treatment of working-class women. The research was carried out on a council estate in Nottingham, which had also been my home for over 20 years. The women’s story was also my story. I explored how they had been devalued and demeaned from school onwards – by the media, politicians, charities and those on the other side of the desk in housing offices and welfare services.
