The Silenced Truth: How Political Correctness Delayed Justice for Grooming Victims

[Social Media]

 

Over two decades ago, I witnessed the production of a groundbreaking documentary that sought to expose a dark and painful truth. Titled *Edge Of The City*, the film followed the work of Bradford Social Services and became the first major TV report to confront the systematic grooming of young white girls by predominantly Asian men.  

 

 

However, what should have been a catalyst for action against these heinous crimes became a target of intense criticism, accusations of racism, and political maneuvering. In May 2004, Channel 4, under mounting pressure from interest groups, lobbyists, and law enforcement warnings about potential community tensions, pulled the documentary just before its scheduled broadcast. It would not air until August of that year, after the dust of the local elections had settled.  

 

"Political correctness has caused these terrible crimes to go unchecked for far too long," I believe. The decision to delay the broadcast was not just a missed opportunity; it set back efforts to combat grooming gangs by at least a decade, with devastating consequences for thousands of victims.  

 

The documentary, which highlighted the experiences of two teenage girls groomed by abusers, was so contentious that parts of it were nearly excluded from the final cut. Social workers feared a public backlash, and West Yorkshire Police warned the program could incite unrest. Meanwhile, the British National Party (BNP) seized on the issue, treating the film as a propaganda tool to galvanize white working-class dissent.  

 

The backlash was fierce, with Channel 4 being accused of fueling racism and aiding the far-Right. The documentary was even dubbed the "BNP Sex Row Film." Yet, every allegation in *Edge Of The City* has since been vindicated. The crimes it exposed were real, their impact harrowing, and their existence undeniable.  

 

Despite this, society’s response has been sluggish and fraught with denial. The liberal Left, alongside figures like Sir Keir Starmer, has often branded those who draw attention to grooming gangs as aligned with a "racist agenda." This tactic has effectively stifled meaningful debate and hindered justice.  

 

Few perpetrators have faced legal consequences, and even fewer officials in positions of authority have been held accountable for their failure to act. How many lives could have been spared trauma, abuse, and heartbreak if the warnings in 2004 had been taken seriously?  

 

In the years following *Edge Of The City*, mainstream media remained largely silent on the issue. The *Daily Mail*’s Sue Reid was one of the first journalists to confront the scandal with her 2010 report, *"Predatory gangs, middle-class girls forced into the sex trade and a very troubling taboo."* The BBC later tackled the topic with the 2017 drama *Three Girls*, based on the Rochdale child sex abuse ring.  

 

Yet these efforts came long after countless victims had suffered in silence. The failure to act decisively when the truth first emerged allowed these crimes to persist unchecked, creating a legacy of shattered lives.  

 

A national inquiry is urgently needed to understand how such a scandal was allowed to fester in plain sight of the police, social services, and political leaders. Without confronting these failures, society risks repeating them.  

 

There is nothing "far-Right" about seeking justice for victims or demanding accountability for those who turned a blind eye. The facts must be allowed to speak for themselves, untainted by fear of political backlash or accusations of racism.  

 

For more than 20 years, the voices of vulnerable children have been ignored. We cannot allow the same tactics of deflection and denial to silence the truth any longer. The fight for justice is not a matter of politics but of basic humanity.

Judging by social media, most people are not aware these are historical crimes - some 15 years ago. 

 

Furthermore, facts are most of this sort of crime is still committed by white individuals. 

 

There was also already an investigation, with the findings not acted upon by the previous government. 

 

Furthermore, the local councils can carry out their own investigation. They don't need government support for that. 

 

This was a ghastly set of crimes, and the perpetrators were locked up. Lessons must be learnt including for the community involved and law officials - but this is now becoming race baiting from outside influences.

 

The UK media letting musk set the agenda is deplorable.

Are they? The crimes referred to here are committed by gangs, gangs by definition are not individuals!
I wonder if the number of this type of crime that is committed by whites is consistent with the proportion of whites in the population.

[loong]

Why is it in reports nowadays that people that used to be described as Middle-Eastern/Islamic are described as Asian?
Roughly 25% of Russians live in Asia, but I don't believe that I have ever seen a Russian in a report described as Asian.

Gangs are made up of individuals. Grooming gang are Predominantly male of asian decent and muslim by religion. 

You are trying to deflect the problem and bring white people into the grooming equation. 

Own up the people  have strict laws against the freedom of their own woman but are guilty sexually abusing our children.

Political correctness is a scourge on society. It hides the truth and creates ineptitude.

 

Whether that is covering up Pakistani child rape gangs in the UK or allowing LA to burn down in order to meet DEI/vaccine requirements in the fire department. 

 

Wokeness has gone beyong stupid, it has become evil.

Theses gang rapes have been happening and covered up for over 20 years actually and the ones investigated have been in the majority Pakistani Muslims grooming gangs. To say its not still going on is also wide off the mark. In the last 12 months a team of expert investigators and analysts has helped police forces arrest over 550 suspects.

[proton]

Hardly justice as only a small number of these offenders have ever been charged and sentenced ,and some have already been out for years. It's still happening.

No, they cannot and should not mark their own homework.  Social workers, councillers, police, MPs have all been complicit in the cover up of tens of thousands of brutal rapes of underage girls.  Everyone knows now that these crimes were covered up and in some instances the fathers of the girls being raped were arrested when they complained to the police.   How many of those in authority have been held to account or are in jail for their part in this cover up?   Zero.  That is how many.

True, yet, we don't see people generalizing those offenders' religion in the same way as many are highlighting ethnic Pakistanis' religion. I wonder why 🫤

In terms of group-based offences, 85% of suspects are white, while 7% are Asian and 5% are black.

No its not true, from just two of the reports and there are many:

 

Rotherham

Rotherham Council commissioned an independent inquiry led by Alexis Jay. In August 2014 the Jay report concluded that an estimated 1,400 children[17] had been sexually abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by British-Pakistani men.[15]

 

Telford

A report from a three-year inquiry into the scandal was released in July 2022. It revealed that more than 1,000 girls had been abused over a 40 year period, and that agencies blamed them for the abuse they suffered, not the perpetrators, and some cases were not investigated because of "nervousness about race", a large proportion of offenders were described as being of South Asian, particularly Pakistani, origin

Another one that fails to get the obvious, quoting stats that don't contain the thousands of victims/perpetrators because the cases were suppressed and never recorded by the police

85% of rapes in the UK are carried out by white individuals under the age of 30.  

 

The term 'grooming' is now being hijaked by the far right. 

 

Disgusting crimes, but most are now using these historical cases from 15 years ago to pander racism. OR they are not aware of the issues.

Go see the governments own statistics.

The vast majority of grooming gang offences are carried out by white men, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has said.

New figures from the police database show that, where ethnicity data was available, 85% of “group-based” child abusers were white...

You can also get the stats from the ONS by the government. 

 

Where are you get your stats from that this is primarily a Pakistani problem?

 

Now i am not saying there is not an issue in that community. But there are issues with many other communites, eg priests, entertainment, etc ... the facts remain the vast majority of these incidents are still committed by wiite men.

You missed this then and the stats you quote have thousands of grooming and rape gang statistics left out.

[JoeyMac]

Seems to be some major ignorance on the subject. Spoke to a British guy in Pattaya today about these grooming rape gangs ... 

 

He seemed to be oblivious the media and politicians on the right are bringing up cases from around 2008-2010. 

 

He was like 'Eh ?!?!!?' He had been totally brain washed to think something was happening now. He was like 'are you sure?"

 

He realised how thick he had been sounding and walked off. 

 

he still wants immigrants banned.

What point is it that you are trying to make, and why ? The grooming and mass rape gangs operated, and continue to operate, in more than 50 cities in the UK. The vast majority of them are made up of Pakistani British and Pakistani men. Many of their victims were under the age of consent, some as low as 10 and 11 years old. It is an utter disgrace that many of the perpetrators remain unpunished due to lack of interest by local police and local authorities

My point is where is your outrage against white working class men under 30 who commit the vast majority of rapes?

 

Also continue to operate where? 

 

Show me your evidence. Not even Tommy Robinson is suggesting that. These are historical cases.
