Labour MPs voting against rape gang inquiry is shameless – what are they trying to hide?

THE Labour government has just whipped its MPs to vote against a proper national inquiry into the rape-gang scandal. That shameful vote exposed their lacking of both a backbone and anything resembling a moral compass. The reason this whole sickening episode went on so long was that people in authority covered it up and brushed it under the carpet.

Now the Labour government risks doing exactly the same thing. For years, people said it was “racist” or “Islamophobic” to point out the vast majority of the evil perpetrators were of British Pakistani background. Starmer continued in that vein earlier this week by smearing as “far right” those who seek to defend the victims of these sick gangs and raise this issue.

It was exactly that kind of language that led to all this being covered up in the first place. When I pointed this out in Parliament on Monday, many Labour MPs opposite booed me. The mother of a young girl who committed suicide after being groomed and raped said she was “completely disgusted” by their behaviour when she saw the footage.

You can understand why. Girls as young as 11 or 12 were systematically raped by organised gangs for years. Some of those in authority did nothing — or even actively covered it up. Local councils, the police and the Crown Prosecution Service all failed the young victims over years.
