Hundreds of Thousands of Girls Were Victims of Grooming Gangs

At least 250,000 cases of abuse involving girls across 149 areas of the UK are alleged to have taken place, according to the findings of an independent inquiry published in June in a report entitled Rape Gang Inquiry. The report’s conclusions, together with the response of the mainstream media, have generated widespread discussion on social media.

The 219-page report was compiled by Rupert Lowe MP of Restore Britain. It draws on previous inquiries, official reports and survivor testimony. According to the investigation, at least a quarter of a million girls aged 11 and over have, over the past several decades, been subjected to gang rape, torture, forced drug use, forced pregnancy and forced conversion to Islam. Some victims are reported to have been abused by more than 600 men. The report states that the members of the so-called grooming gangs were predominantly Pakistani Muslims.

Representatives of the Muslim community have criticised the report's conclusions, while journalist and political commentator Mehdi Hasan has argued that such claims amount to incitement to hatred.

‘Ask yourself why Medhi Hasan is still speaking out after being exposed as a hate preacher who called rape victims liars. Ask yourself why he ignores the 250,000 girls who have been raped, yet cries over a stab wound. Ask yourself why he calls Tommy Robinson a “convicted criminal” but defends the Hamas terrorists who killed 1,200 Israelis,’ was how a user named Christian responded to these statements.

The Evidence Presented

Social media users have also been sharing excerpts from the report, arguing that these were not isolated offences but a systematic pattern of abuse. During a parliamentary debate, testimony from one survivor was read aloud. According to her account, one of her attackers told her directly: ‘We’re here to shag all the white girls and shag the government. We’re here to multiply; we’re going to come out on top.’

‘White non-Muslim girls were “whores”, “trash” and “kafir whores”, legitimate targets for grooming, gang rape, trafficking and beatings. ‘When the government repeatedly sides with ideological abusers rather than its own children, when it betrays fathers and communities trying to protect their daughters, don’t be surprised when people lose faith in the system and take matters into their own hands,’ argues the author ofthe immigration-focused Rothmus account, who writes about immigration issues.

Silence from the BBC

Although the issue of grooming gangs has attracted public attention on numerous occasions, major mainstream news organisations did not report on the Rape Gang Inquiry, something that has itself become a topic of discussion online. People are wondering why not even the BBC has mentioned the investigation. Even users from abroad have taken note of this fact.

‘WHAT!!!??? How can the BBC not care about the rape of 250,000 BRITISH women and children? About the torture that some of them endured (the sort of thing you see in horror films)? Come on, tell me that’s not true! Not even any coverage of the Rape Gang Inquiry report??’, wrote the American account IAMmeansGod.

Many commentators argue that if both the authorities and the mainstream media continue to avoid addressing the issue, public anger will increasingly be expressed through demonstrations. Tommy Robinson’s most recent march, which also focused heavily on immigration, attracted a crowd estimated at more than 100,000 people in London. Some believe future protests could draw even larger numbers.

The G7 Summit Shows Just How Much Britain’s Influence Has Declined

The G7 leaders’ summit in France was centred on European attempts to reach an agreement with US President Donald Trump on coordinating their approach, including in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. However, both the media and social media users pointed out just how much Britain’s position on the world stage appears to have weakened — and highlighted one of the key reasons why.

Starmer’s Great Summer Savings Scheme Is a Mockery of the British Public

Following the announcement of Keir Starmer’s Great British Summer Savings scheme, social media was flooded with angry reactions from across the country. Many Britons accused the Prime Minister of misleading voters, arguing that the promised savings are so modest as to make virtually no difference to households already struggling to make ends meet.

The Right Are Turning on One Another

One of the most high-profile political scandals in recent months has emerged not from Labour, but from deep divisions within Britain’s right-wing camp. A controversial interview with Ben Habib, current leader of Advance UK, has triggered fierce debate across social media after he effectively suggested that Nigel Farage had been financially influenced during the 2019 general election.

The British Government Encourages Illegal Polygamy

A decision by the Department for Work and Pensions to increase welfare payments for so-called ‘additional spouses’ in polygamous households has triggered widespread outrage across social media. Many Britons are angered not only by what they see as blatant double standards surrounding polygamy, but also by the fact that taxpayers are effectively funding a practice that remains illegal under British law.

Labour’s Performative Fight Against Anti-Semitism Raises Wider Questions About Public Safety

The Metropolitan Police has announced the creation of a special unit dedicated to protecting London’s Jewish community. The decision has triggered a wave of criticism across social media, with many questioning why crimes affecting other groups in Britain do not appear to receive the same level of attention. Following a series of anti-Semitic incidents, the Metropolitan Police confirmed plans to establish a 100-officer task force focused specifically on Jewish security concerns.
