If they really want to do this inquiry shouldn't they be getting police around the country to gather evidence first? And start prosecutions? Or are they doing that? I have not heard of it other than I London they were looking at Historical cases but that was because of Susan Hall not this inquiry.

Don’t forget there is also Jess Phillips Parliamentary undersecretary for the Home Office. She is also safeguarding minister of women and girls and her constituency is Birmingham Yardley. Then there is Shabanna Mahmood our Home Secretary whose constituency is Birmingham Ladywood. These regions are also high in grooming gangs exposure.

True but they are not significant geographically like the Northern Corridor is.

To be clear it's happening elsewhere no one is denying that. The nature of the inquiry though, the history, the evidence the paper triais, and the victims who were part of the inquiry (some still are if it ever happens) are all from the Northern Corridor it will always be the area geographically that carries the most weight. So the fact that 43% of the cabinet are from the Northern Corridor it will make it much easier for them to shut it down or restrict or even omit many things.

In Birmingham the numbers of victims has to be huge. Because we were at one time the Muslim capital of the country. But it has never been bought to light. But you are right in that's it probably not coincidence that you can add London and. Birmingham in as well but it's not as significant for facts already known and witnesses as the North.

A very interesting insight. So is it no surprise there is so little interest in moving this investigation forward under this truly treacherous Labour government that is so keen to abandon the mostly white working class girls raped and abused by the Pakistani grooming gangs.

They cannot be allowed to narrow the scope of this enquiry to protect their political careers. The girls whom they have failed for far too long deserve full justice. This has been dragged out, sidelined and hidden by a succession of ministers and organisations for the sake of political expedience and to hide culpability. Any enquiry must be full and open without fear or favour.

In an ideal world yes I agree or a functioning society. But we all know one of the things missing here, now, is any sense of fairness.

I hate, loathe and despise this current government. They are the embodiment of all that is wrong in politics, specifically in Labour politics. The information on the number of Labour MP’s, councillors, members involved and prosecuted for asst’d forms of paedophilia, which is available online, just proves that Labour (and Fabian Society) are up to their necks in child abuse…..hence their constant denial of a proper enquiry into the Pakistani Rape Gangs. It’s because they know that the facade of respectability that they hide behind will be blown up. It is a cancer in politics in our country and shames all of us. Starmer with his bloody super injunctions desperately trying to hide his past - the man is a fraud, a fake and much worse. As DPP he refused to prosecute Saville and there are photos of Starmer as a young boy in the company of Saville. Labour are a nest of vipers hiding in plain sight and we need them out of power and eliminated from all public office. Wolf in sheep’s clothing? Well their jumpers are slipping and WE CAN SEE YOU for what you really are.
