The ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang is still living and working in the town nearly a decade after he was ordered to be deported by a judge.
Qari Abdul Rauf, 55, was part of a gang of nine Asian men convicted of sex offences against vulnerable girls in 2012, including rape and trafficking.
The former taxi driver and preacher was jailed for six years but he was released in November 2014 after serving two years and six months of his sentence.
Elon Musk calls out Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and other British elites, for their callous handling of the systematic rape of young working-class girls by Muslim immigrants.
Last year I wrote the first two of what will probably be a lengthy series of novels, and readers of both have noticed a rather eerie bit of prognostication coming from them.
In King of the Jungle, there was an attempted assassination of the Trumpian character which was somewhat uncomfortably similar in its circumstances to that of the Butler, Pennsylvania near-miss of the real McCoy. Right down to the suspicious inability of the Secret Service to cover the candidate in a key spot.
That got me a bit of notice in some of the radio and podcast appearances I made promoting the book.
Rochdale rape gangs whistleblower Maggie Oliver says she is "raging" about Keir Starmer's remark that inquiry calls are from the 'far-right'.

I was a detective in anticorruption command
The statistics behind the rape gang scandal — let’s banish the wholly inadequate word “grooming” — are staggering. For over 25 years, networks of men, predominantly from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds, abused young white girls from Yeovil to London to Glasgow. The victims’ accounts are beyond depravity, unthinkable in a supposedly advanced Western democracy.
Our supposed betters profess support for free speech while seeking to limit it at every turn.
Two crimes were committed against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, 10 years ago today.
Islamist gunmen committed mass murder at the paper’s Paris offices. They shot dead eight cartoonists and journalists, two police officers and two others, in a graphic demonstration of their hatred for freedom of speech and of the press.
The child victims of rape were denied justice and protection from the state to preserve the image of a successful multicultural society
Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips’ decision to block a public inquiry into the Oldham grooming gangs seems, from the outside, to be almost inexplicable. Children were raped and abused by gangs of men while the authorities failed to protect them.
A review of the abuse in Oldham was released in 2022, but its terms of reference only stretched from 2011-2014. Survivors from the town said that they wanted a government-led inquiry to cover a longer period, and catch what the previous review had missed. In Jess Phillips’s letter to the council, revealed by GB News, she said she understood the strength of feeling in the town, but thought it best for another local review to take place.
This is a scandal that should be rooted out entirely, and investigated by the full might of the British state. Voices ranging from Elon Musk to Kemi Badenoch have joined the calls for an inquiry. Yet the Government seems curiously reluctant to dig into the failings of officials.
Crime league table puts Albanians as nationality most likely to be arrested, followed by Afghans, Iraqis, Algerians, Moroccans and Somalians
Foreign nationals are more than three times as likely to be arrested for sexual offences as British citizens, according to the first analysis revealing the scale of crime by migrants.
Police made more than 9,000 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences in the first 10 months of last year in 41 of the 43 forces in England and Wales.
This represented a quarter (26.1 per cent) of the total estimated 35,000 sexual offence arrests, according to the first analysis of its kind by the Centre for Migration Control of data from police forces, the Home Office and the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
There’s a thin line between being helpful and being unhelpful.
When it comes to reporting on terrorist attacks, the press often chooses to be unhelpful, believing it is doing the exact opposite.
In the early hours of January 1, a driver sped his truck down crowded Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 14 New Year’s revelers and injuring nearly three times as many. The driver was later brought down by a barrage of bullets after a brief gunfight with law enforcement officials.
How the elites’ cowardice and classism let the ‘grooming gangs’ get away with rape.
It’s the scandal that refuses to die. Despite the best efforts of our spineless elites – who’d rather talk about anything on Earth other than grooming gangs – it keeps creeping back. For all the left’s cheap, libellous cries about how racist it is to talk about these gangs, people keep talking about them. In the face of official indifference to the suffering of thousands of poor and working-class girls at the hands of these groomers and abusers, people have demanded a reckoning. There is a public thirst for truth, and no amount of top-down slander and censure can crush it.
Sir Keir Starmer will defend his record in tackling grooming gangs on Monday after the US billionaire Elon Musk accused him of being “complicit in the rape of Britain”.
Musk, who is a close ally of Donald Trump, the US president-elect, has accused Starmer of failing to prosecute gangs that systematically raped and groomed young girls when he was the director of public prosecutions. He has called for Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, to be jailed after she declined to launch a public inquiry. He described Phillips as a “rape genocide apologist”.

The German city of Magdeburg was written into the sad history of terrorist attacks by Muslim migrants, when Saudi Arabian terrorist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove 200 meters into a crowded Christmas market on December 20, murdering a nine-year-old boy and four women, while wounding more than 200 people, 40 critically.
The New Orleans attacker who killed 14 people by ramming a pickup truck into a crowd built two bombs with a “very rare explosive compound,” senior law enforcement officials have said.
The compound had never before been used in a US or European terror attack, with investigators now exploring how attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar learned how to produce the explosive.
The FBI is investigating terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s visit to Canada as they revealed new details into his planning of the New Orleans attack.
Investigators said they are now probing leads across the country and abroad of Jabbar’s movements leading up to the attack that killed 14 people and injured dozens.
Special agent in charge of the New Orleans Field Office Lyonel Myrthil told a press conference on Sunday: ‘We have tracked that Jabbar traveled to Cairo, Egypt, from June 22 until July 3 of 2023.
Allstate deleted a video message from its CEO Thomas Wilson in the wake of the terrorist attack in New Orleans that killed 15 people, days after viewers criticized it.
The video aired during the college football Sugar Bowl match between Notre Dame and Georgia and was subsequently posted on X.
What a weasel.
Turned on the Notre Dame – Georgia game for it to start with this ridiculous propaganda from @Allstate on yesterday’s terrorist attack:
“We need to overcome an addiction to divisiveness and negativity… & accept people’s imperfections and differences”??!!!

Elon Musk has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as leader of Reform UK, just weeks after it was claimed the multi-billionaire was in talks to donate a large sum to the party.
In a post on his social media site X, Musk said Farage “doesn’t have what it takes” to lead the party.
Farage defended Musk to the BBC on Sunday, saying “free speech was back”, after the tech entrepreneur attacked the UK government’s response to grooming gangs.
It looks like Good Morning Britain's @GMB poll blew up in their face.

Farage hates Tommy Robinson and has always been ludicrously soft on Islam.

Whether the bureau designates an Islamist attack “terrorism” depends on a dubious judgment that it was inspired by “false” Islamic teaching.
Turns out that Shamsud-Din Jabbar kept Islamic scripture on, of all places, his internal profile page at Deloitte, where he was working as a “solutions specialist” — which sounds eerie now in light of the “solution” he had in mind when he rammed a rented Ford pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in the first hours of the new year, killing 15 and injuring dozens more.
A major housecleaning is in order.
