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'.

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.
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.
You all know what I mean by the word ‘Rotherham.’ In The Spirit of Terrorism, Jean Baudrillard observes that there is no true synonym for ‘9/11’ – no one refers to the ‘World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks’ or the ‘Bin Laden attacks’, but just to the date itself, typically in its abbreviated form. Perhaps, he suggests, this is because the events of that day were so shocking, and so significant, that they must be described abstractly. We cannot find the right words.
There is no true synonym for ‘Rotherham’, either. ‘Child sexual exploitation’ (CSE) is the sterile term favoured by most institutions. ‘Child sexual abuse ring’ or ‘grooming gangs’ is more common in the media. None of these terms are satisfactory.
There’s a strange self-loathing that the elites have for their own countries.
Is it too much to ask for a little gratitude? America, a declining superpower thanks to the indifferent and self-serving ministrations of a corpulent elite, is still great. Not as great as she was. Not as great as she can be again, but great enough that everyone who wants to be anything wants to come here to make something of themselves. Great enough that even people like Elon Musk want to come here. Not Canada. Not rape-gang Britain. Not energy-depleted Europe. Not commie China. Not caste-class India. The one and only United States of America.
Grooming gang victims spoke out today to demand a public inquiry and tougher sentences for abusers amid a social media war waged against Sir Keir Starmer by Elon Musk.
The row began yesterday after Jess Phillips rejected a request by Oldham Council for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation, suggesting it would be best for the local council to investigate the issue instead.
Mr Musk, 53, has said Ms Phillips ‘deserves to be in prison’, while Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said a full national inquiry into organised grooming gangs is ‘long overdue’.

Cops responded to calls of screaming. At a residence in the north of England, they found two 13-year-old girls naked and drunk in the company of seven adult men.
The girls were charged with public intoxication. The British-Pakistani men skated.
Both of those women are pigs.
Last week, I wrote that Labour, during half a year in office, has launched a staggering 67 reviews and consultations, as well as “a new quango every week since coming to power”.
But it seems there is such a thing as an inquiry too far. Yesterday, it was reported that Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips had formally rejected repeated requests for a Home Office-led inquiry into Oldham’s historic rape gangs scandal, following a request by the local council. X owner Elon Musk then called for Phillips to be jailed as a result.

August 26 marked ten years since the publication of the Jay Report, an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in the British town of Rotherham. The 2014 report found that at least 1,400 underage girls were abused predominantly by Muslim men of Pakistani heritage between 1997 and 2013 in this South Yorkshire town.
“It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered,” the report noted.
The title of the Wikipedia article about Muslim grooming gangs in Britain has this week been changed to include the phrase “moral panic”. Previously titled “Muslim grooming gangs in the United Kingdom”, the name was altered on 7 October to “Grooming gang moral panic in the United Kingdom”.
Every Wikipedia article has a “Talk” function which allows users to request and debate edits. The change was confirmed by a user named “Sceptre”, who wrote: “There is a consensus that, if the article is to be kept (and for the meanwhile, it is to be kept), that ‘moral panic’ should be included in the article title to reflect how the subject is dealt with in reliable sources.”
A survivor of a rape gang was prevented in court from calling for two of her abusers to be deported. Seven men from predominantly Pakistani backgrounds in Rotherham were convicted of offences committed between April 2003 and April 2008.
As the case in South Yorkshire was concluding, the unnamed woman read out her ‘victim impact statement,’ legal paperwork intended not as evidence but to assist the judge in sentencing. GB News, the sole UK national broadcaster to cover the trial, saw an unredacted version of the document which had a key section removed from her closing remarks—under official duress.
A 42-year-old man has been sentenced to five years in jail for raping a 14-year-old girl down an alleyway in Rotherham 21 years ago.
Waleed Ali, from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, was sentenced immediately after jurors found him guilty of raping a girl under 16 years old at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
He had previously been convicted of raping and indecently assaulting another girl, 13, in the same alleyway in early 2003 following an investigation by South Yorkshire Police.
Seven men were jailed for sexually abusing two girls in Rotherham in the latest convictions under the UK’s biggest-ever law enforcement operation against child sex abuse.
The defendants regularly picked up the victims in their cars and gave them cigarettes, alcohol, cannabis and money, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
The girls would then be assaulted, forced to perform sexual acts or raped.
Seven men have been found guilty of a catalogue of sickening child sex offences after two teenage girls were abused in Rotherham.
The victims – who were aged between 11 and 16 at the time of the offending in the early 2000s, were both in care and were groomed and plied with alcohol and cannabis before being raped or assaulted. The National Crime Agency says they were often collected by their abusers from the children’s homes they lived at at the time before being assaulted.
