    RIP baby girl, never stood a chance. Allegedly killed by an unlicensed, uninsured drunk, drugged driver. Who also happens to have a foreign name.

    Interesting – the above article seems to be from a press release as most outlets report it word for word. It says the guy is released on bail. The BBC’s article says he is remanded in custody..surely they haven’t lied to make the justice system look better?

    Still saying there was no cover up and it was not really a scandal as a report was produced – good that it is talked about – why not when it happened?

    What is Starmer’s record on prosecuting grooming gangs?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgn2wvxx5qo

    When it comes to child grooming gangs, there is no single clear data set because no specific offence exists.

    BBC Verify has sent a freedom of information request to the CPS asking for a yearly breakdown of prosecutions for child grooming related offences.

    We have also contacted the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office.

    These Muslim criminal gangs are often using class a drugs on children. You don’t get herione from the local chemist shop. It seems to me they could have had these savages banged up on drug trafficking and possesion charges if the will was there to do something about it.

    Welcome to Oldham

    The explosive Welcome to Oldham series lifts the lid on the relationship between Labour Party politicians, Council Officers and the Asian Criminal Cartels that really run the town. Originally posted on Medium, its censorship was celebrated by senior Oldham Council figures with what they believed was a successful attempt at hiding these revelations. Undeterred, Raja Miah MBE transferred his findings to the Recusant-Nine platform where he continues to reveal the inner workings of a morally bankrupt Council. His disclosures will be all too familiar to those who have knowledge and experience of Labour Party controlled towns and cities reliant on the Asian Muslim block vote.

    As a consequence of his revelations, and having failed to stop his posts through all legal means including failing to have him arrested, senior individuals within Oldham Council have associated themselves with convicted criminals and even endorsed his murder in an attempt to silence him.

    Though originally intended for the people of his hometown, the Welcome to Oldham series has now been read by an audience of over 1 million by people from across the world. Raja Miah’s message to all those who have read his posts and stand against criminals and their political associates that freely operate as a consequence of their partnership with public officials is a simple one.

    DO NOT FEAR THEM. DO NOT FEAR ANY OF THEM.

      ‘Everyone knew’ about Jimmy Savile, former officer says
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24564933

      It was one incident in 1965 the former policeman remembers well.

      Late one night, just before midnight, he noticed Jimmy Savile’s Rolls Royce parked in a secluded spot on the edge of Roundhay Park.

      “As I went past I saw the interior lights were on,” he said. “I went past but stopped and went back – I thought someone had nicked it.

      “He was sat in the driver’s seat and was talking to a young lady in the passenger seat. She looked like Twiggy – I couldn’t tell her age, perhaps 15 or 16.

      “I said, ‘What’s the matter, Jimmy – what are you doing up here?’

      “He said, ‘Yeah, we’re fine, aren’t we?’ And she smiled. Then he said, ‘We’re waiting for 12 o’clock, son.’

      “Why?” I asked. ‘Because it’s her birthday tomorrow, she’s 16.’ And he winked at me.

      “I asked the girl, ‘Are you ok?’

      “She smiled – there was no impression she was being forced to be there. I think she wanted me to get lost as well.

      “Jimmy then said, ‘Now get back on your bike before you lose your job.'”

    Victims want action, child abuse inquiry chair says
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp836w074gko

    ‘Victims “clearly want action” and do not need a new national inquiry into grooming gangs, the woman who led a seven-year probe into child sexual abuse has said.’

    Another ‘without providing evidence’ missing there BBC.

    This is the big headline of the day. Is there anyone less qualified to comment on the disgraced inquiries into the rape gangs than this woman – who ‘clearly’ got the job because she will cover it up ?. It’s like asking a cigarette company if we should ban smoking.

    The BBC are in a panic about this now. They are throwing mud left right and centre – but the one thing they are keeping silent on are the rape gangs. It’s obvious now that all roads lead to Starmer.

    It is inconceivable that the head of the CPS would not make the final decision about whether to cover it up.

    Motion 4 (Failsworth Independence Party)

    To be moved by Councillor Hobin

    Seconded by Councillor Rea Commission a Judge Led non-statutory independent inquiry into all aspects of historical and current instances of child sexual exploitation within the borough

    Contrary to the claim made by the previous Council leader, being groomed and gang raped did and still does destroy lives. The initial failures of those whose responsibility to protect them were scandalous and it is right that she was forced to publicly apologise for the failings of this council. Unfortunately, the findings of GM Mayor’s so-called Assurance Review neither provided assurance nor sufficiently reviewed what had taken place. Despite claiming there was no cover up, and that lessons had been learned, allegation after allegations have proven to be true.

    The most terrifying was that the ringleader of the infamous Rochdale Grooming Gang, had been an Oldham Council employee with access to children for 18 years. People from across all communities of Oldham have lost trust in this council after this revelation was confirmed as accurate. A revelation that had been kept hidden from all of us.

    As recently as this January, the highly respected Maggie Oliver referenced the Oldham Assurance Review and told its authors Malcom Newsam & Gary Ridgway that in Oldham they had been prevented from getting to the truth. This is after it emerged that survivors had been prevented from giving testimony to the Review Team. The individual identified within the Assurance Review as responsible for preventing survivors from testifying is a senior Oldham Council employee.

    There have been several attempts so far to secure the support of this Labour Party run council, under 3 different leaders, to call in the government and lead a fit for purpose inquiry. On each occasion, including calls for a Public Inquiry, every Labour Party councillor has voted to block these motions. Given Maggie Oliver’s most recent statement, and the failure of Operation Sherwood to so far charge a single offender, it is time that this Council looked to itself to secure justice for the as of yet unknown number of children that this council failed.

    A non-statutory inquiry, an action within the powers of this Council, will allow the opportunity for victims, survivors and whistleblowers to give evidence in private and free from any other pressures or interference. This is especially important because of the up to now less than candid role of both Oldham Council and Greater Manchester Police. Such arrangements will hopefully also encourage other victims to come forward and once and for all lift this dark cloud that has hung over this town for too long.

    The Council notes;

    That since the review in 2022, little has been done to bring to account those responsible, both within the Council and other authorities and externally by way of criminal prosecutions.

    That survivors deserve to see the full powers of law enforced on perpetrators and facilitators.

    The flags of Norway, Denmark and Croatia were burnt.[13]

    “Al-Azhar intends to protest these anti-Prophet cartoons with the UN’s concerned committees and human rights groups around the world.”

    Police opened investigations into the publication of the cartoons by the Suomen Sisu group. In Finland it is illegal to “disturb religious peace”

    Lebanon: The Lebanese minister of foreign affairs criticised the drawings saying that freedom of speech ends when sacred values are offended.[34]

    Turkey: Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said: “Caricatures of Prophet Muhammad are an attack against our spiritual values. There should be a limit of freedom of press.”[46]

    Vatican City: The Vatican issued a statement saying “The right to freedom of thought and expression, sanctioned by the Declaration of the Rights of Man, cannot imply the right to offend the religious sentiment of believers. This principle applies obviously for any religion.

    BBC Headline “Victims want action, child abuse inquiry chair says”.

    The latest bBC/Labour Party/Establishment line is being run out using Prof Jay and the time is now for action.

    The problem is that this is far wider than an investigation into rape gangs, it is about a structure of national politics, local politics, a local authority, religion, the police force and organised crime, and the Labour Party have finger prints all over it. Even one or two bBC journalists are going to struggle with this one. Sometimes an organisation needs to realise when it is on the wrong side of history.

    The same rigour needs to be applied as was applied to the infamous slice of birthday cake.

      NLP good point, it is far wider.

      I just read Suzanne Moore not in the Guardian as usual, but in the Telegraph who joins in with the equivocation: “To tackle child sexual abuse, we have to face unpalatable facts about male violence – to focus on one ethnic group misses the wider point”. It’s just exploitation by powerful men like the other cases.

      What all these commentators leave out is the decades of behavioural engineering that’s forced us to view immigrants as a protected group and wholly good. While pushing the opposite strategy for the indigenous.

      Commentators who have been right at the forefront of such engineering programmes, and still won’t accept the blindingly obvious.

      saying previous inquiries were only a start

      #3 It’s ridiculous to say that cos you had some limited inquiry , you can’t have an overarching inquiry.

        The BBC story doesn’t begin with a direct quote , but rather builds a narrative first

        The only direct quote from Jay is “I don’t think that we can afford to delay any longer and another inquiry will have that delay,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

        and it selects quotes from a Act on IICSA statement
        The actual statement begins
        “Recent press coverage on child sexual abuse (CSA) highlights a troubling trend of misinformation that undermines the true scale of the crisis and the pressing need for reform
        .. It is imperative to keep the focus on radical reform….”

        ..so that is the opposite of saying that righties are overhyping it.
        https://thesurvivorstrust.org/news/act-on-iicsa-press-release/

        The statement does not say they want other people banned from calling for a overarching inquiry,
        rather it quotes their boss saying it’s about their own mission
        “Our mission is not to call for new inquiries but to advocate for the full implementation of IICSA’s recommendations.
        A Child Protection Authority is critical to this process,” said Professor Alexis Jay

    Wanting an inquiry into the response by the Establishment to the rape gang depravity that has corrupted towns and cities across the nation is Far-Right….so Oldham council that requested an inquiry is Far-Right then? Those police officers, campaigners and the victims themselves who want an inquiry are Far-Right?

    Starmer might want to believe that but he knows it’s not true…which makes his use if the term a highly cynical, if not dystopian, attempt to smear people and silence them….a tactic long used by the BBC itself of course.

    Love to get their definition of Far-Right…of course it’s not in the BBC’s guidelines and thus can be freely thrown around to demonise people with no comeback.

    Explain how Tommy Robinson is Far-Right…what is it that he does that makes him Far-Right? Seems he has a lot of justification for his campaigning…and if the likes of Starmer object then it seems Starmer & Co do accept all that comes from the ‘cultural diversity’ we have imported to our cost…..

      “I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.”

    “Britain now stands shamed before the world. The public’s suppressed wrath is bubbling to the surface in petitions, calls for a public inquiry, and demands for accountability.

    The scandal is already reshaping British politics. It’s not just about the heinous nature of the crimes. It’s that every level of the British system is implicated in the cover-up.

    Social workers were intimidated into silence. Local police ignored, excused, and even abetted pedophile rapists across dozens of cities. Senior police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the name of maintaining what they called “community relations.” Local councilors and Members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the parents of raped children. Charities, NGOs, and Labour MPs accused those who discussed the scandal of racism and Islamophobia. The media mostly ignored or downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity, much of Britain’s media elite remained barnacled to the bubble of Westminster politics and its self-serving priorities.

    They did this to defend a failed model of multiculturalism, and to avoid asking hard questions about failures of immigration policy and assimilation. They did this because they were afraid of being called racist or Islamophobic. They did this because Britain’s traditional class snobbery had fused with the new snobbery of political correctness.

    All of which is why no one knows precisely how many thousands of young girls were raped in how many towns across Britain since the 1970s.”

    Royal College chief exec apologises for “accidentally” following Tommy Robinson on X:

    “I was not aware of the follow and it certainly was not something I had done intentionally. Nevertheless, my response did not reflect the impact on others and only reflected on my own shock and concern on how this had occurred…”

    “The RCSLT’s board of trustees ordered a formal investigation, including appointing a barrister, which found Mr Jamieson’s personal account was following Robinson on X, and ‘on the balance of probabilities it was deemed that this was an accidental follow’, of which Mr Jamieson was unaware.”

    Just a normal struggle session for the UK in 2025.

      “Even more ludicrous, the investigation found that “on the balance of probabilities it was deemed that this was an accidental follow”.

      The CEO has been forced to issue a “personal apology for his actions”.

    Stephen Lawrence…we hear way too much about that 1993 murder…..and pretty much nothing about this from 2006….

    ‘Three Asian gang members were jailed for life yesterday for the “savage and barbaric” racially motivated murder of a schoolboy in Glasgow who had been singled out because he was white.

    Kriss Donald, 15, from Pollokshields, was abducted, stabbed repeatedly and then doused in petrol and burned to death by five men of Pakistani descent in March 2004, apparently in revenge for an earlier incident at a city centre nightclub.

    The judge, Lord Uist, told Imran Shahid, 29, his brother Zeeshan, 28, and Mohammed Mushtaq, 27, that their “pre-meditated, cold-blooded execution … truly was an abomination”.’

    Farage is stating that Reform will launch its own inquiry into the rape gangs if Starmer fails to do so….maybe Farage should also investigate the case against Tommy Robinson and whether the evidence he gathered that suggested a totally different story to the official one concerning the Syrian schoolboy is in fact the real truth….and if he is indeed a ‘political prisoner’.

    You may note that the BBC et al never raise any doubts or ask any questions about that evidence that Robinson uncovered…the BBC just says he’s been found guilty and that’s that. So very unlike the BBC to not want to at least explore if there is any truth to the claims.

    Finding out Robinson was right would open up a whole new painful world of questions.

    With any new, potential in depth inquiry angled more toward identifying those seeking a cover up and justice against them, the BBC spot a problem for their new poster boy, TTK. His sweaty finger marks are all over the not wishing to expose anybody (including him) scenario.

    The BBC, resolutely behind no apportioning of any responsibility for covering up, including for their Poster Boy, TTK. Note the soft but definite reporting emphasis upon avoiding naming and shaming (if not criminal offences).

      assertive outreach programme to help address the lack of support for victims and their families in

    What’s the matter with Nigel Farage? He seems to have gone over to the dark side. He is still attacking Tommy Robinson. He is publicly accusing him of violence against women now.

    I now wonder if he has been assigned to do what he does. How many times has he gone to the brink of victory, then ruined it? He tore UKIP apart. They had surpassed the Lib Dems in my area. In 2013 they were the 3rd party. Then Nigel threw a spanner.

    He wrecked his own party again in 2019 to get Boris elected. Then Boris betrayed us in numerous ways. Why did Nigel oust Ben Habib, one of the best men he had working with him?

    He is tearing Reform apart. He is poison.

    Taking into account the noise around the calls for a National enquiry into the grooming gang stuff….

    Anyone put into Starmer’s position would surely conclude that the best way to handle the situation would be to agree to it and allow the National Enquiry go ahead with his full support whether he personally believed it completely necessary or not but would be seen to be in the public interest and the interests of transparency. This would have had the immediate effect of deflecting any criticism or suspicion and consequently would take much of the heat out of the matter.

    The fact that he has decided to dig in and oppose the idea just throws petrol on the fire for him so the big question is, as a supposedly clever bloke why exactly did he decide to go the hard route because right now it simply results in suspicions of some sort of cover up.

    FROM 2015 …. “The consultation will seek views on sanctions for failure to take action on child abuse or neglect where it is a professional responsibility to do so, including the option of extending the crime of ‘wilful neglect’ to cover children’s social care and education. ‘Wilful neglect’ would impose criminal sanctions for those who are found guilty of deliberate, wilful or reckless neglect or mistreatment of children. It would cover inaction, concealment and/or deliberate cover ups and would ensure that those responsible for the very worst failures in care can be held accountable. ”

    Here is an inquiry RIGHT HERE:

    “Revealed: Rochdale grooming gang ringleader’s VERY comfortable life in Britain a decade after he was released and told he’d be deported.

    Rauf was told he would be deported to Pakistan in 2014 after serving two and half years of a six-year prison sentence.

    Rauf, who was stripped of his UK citizenship, was told he would be sent back to Pakistan following his release in November 2014.

    Immigration Tribunal judges have twice rejected his appeal against deportation in 2020 and 2022.

    His lawyers have argued he is ‘stateless’ having renounced his Pakistani citizenship and deportation would breach his right to private and family life under the European Convention on Human Rights.

    Other members of the Rochdale gang have also successfully avoided being deported.

    Aldi Khan, 54, has also used the ECHR to avoid being deported while fellow convict Abdul Aziz, known in the rape gang as ‘The Master’, also managed to avoid being deported following his release from jail.

    He also abandoned his Pakistani citizenship but was told by the Home Office he could stay.”

    “Teenage boy, 14, is stabbed to death on London bus in front of horrified passengers as police launch murder probe.

    Knife crime is on the rise in London, with 15,016 offences recorded in 2023/24, up from 12,786 the year before, a 17.4% rise.

    It is the highest number of offences since 2019/2020, after which there was a significant drop during the Covid pandemic, followed by a steady annual increase.

    According to the Crime in England and Wales 2024 report, around 30% of knife-enabled crime was recorded by the Metropolitan Police Service.

    Some 10 teenagers were killed in London last year, nine of whom were the victims of stabbing while one died in a shooting.

    As Mayor, Khan is responsible for policing, but during his time in City Hall, London has been dubbed the ‘knife crime capital’ and the Met Police has been forced into special measures.

    He was accused of ‘losing control’ on crime in the city, with a reported 38% increase in knife offences since he took office.”
