[Did you know that UK authorities
just accidentally released the asylum-seeker sent to prison for sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl? He's now on the run somewhere in London. And did you know that four victims of the Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs investigative panel
have quit, and accused the government, through Jess Phillips, the (female) minister leading the inquiry, of trying to control its outcome?
It's the same old thing: Labour are terrified of Muslims, and trying very hard to control the Narrative at the expense of the victims, and the common good.Mary Harrington, as usual, nails it:Quote:
No surprise, then, to find Labour once again perpetuating that conspiracy of silence. This time it's a desperate scramble to avoid delivering on their promise to conduct a full independent inquiry into these gangs. Having fought tooth and nail to avoid holding a new inquiry, then grudgingly agreed under overwhelming political pressure to do so, Labour is now very obviously seeking to dilute, frustrate, and delay its delivery. Earlier this week, four survivors of the rape gangs resigned from the inquiry's oversight panel, having raised concerns via open letters about what they see as efforts to dilute the inquiry's scope and generalise its focus, as well as tight controls on what they could say and who they were permitted to speak to.
The survivors allege that one Labour mayor is attempting to widen the scope from known grooming victims to whole regions. They complain that the panel now includes CSE survivors whose victimisation did not fit the grooming gang pattern, and who are now - understandably - seeking to widen the scope of the enquiry to cover child sexual exploitation in general. The four resigning survivors have stated they will only return to the panel if Phillips resigns. Meanwhile two candidates to chair the inquiry have pulled out since Tuesday.
But this was wholly predictable. The Labour Party long since abandoned any effort to defend the interests of Britain's white working class, the demographic from which most of the grooming gang victims were drawn. In a pattern that echoes other progressive parties across the developed world, as our country has de-industrialised, Labour's voter base mutated into a coalition between upper middle-class progressives, students, and a patchwork coalition of minorities. Significantly, this includes the majority of Britain's Muslims.
Where, oh where, does populism come from? We may never know. Stupid deplorables! Why don't they shut up and accept what they deserve? What's a little systemic mass rape of white English working-class girls, when the Three Sacred M's Muslims, Migration, and Multiculturalism are at stake?] -Rod Dreher
