The Truth Captures Starmer

“With Starmer's defences collapsing, the stench of collusion hung over his previous announcements”

In a stunning U-turn, Sir Kier Rodney Starmer, the British PM, has reversed his position and ordered a full national enquiry into the rape gangs. This dramatic change follows a report by Baroness Louise Casey, which slams the British establishment's past denials. This marks a pivotal moment.

A national enquiry has been forced upon Starmer because the awfulness of the crimes and complicity of local and national politicians is now gaining recognition. This is despite, in recent weeks, Starmer accusing anyone who raised the issue of being 'far right' and racist. These are the very sentiments that allowed the rape gangs to operate unimpeded for decades.

With Starmer's defences collapsing, the stench of collusion hung over his previous announcements. Only weeks ago, Starmer was blocking a full inquiry, instead ordering piecemeal local inquiries. These local inquiries allowed the councils that perpetrated these massive injustices to investigate themselves. So naturally many saw this as a cover-up. Then, it emerged that only Rochdale council agreed to undertake the work.

Baroness Casey concluded that a culture of 'blindness, ignorance and prejudice' resulted in decades of inaction. This disregard, fuelled by misplaced fears of racism, saw many police forces decline to gather data on the ethnicity of suspects. In turn, this approach led to a failure to deter the vile culprits, protect victims, and prosecute offenders.

None of this is news to those of us who bothered to research this topic. For years there was ample evidence in the public domain to support the view that the rape of mostly white young girls by men from the Pakistani community was ignored. One victim was a 10 year old girl. Yet, anyone who dared to point this out faced a deluge of vile criticism.

In 2017, Sarah Champion was forced out by then party leader Jeremy Corbin for saying in a newspaper article, “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls". She was right.

And even my inconsequential efforts drew criticism from those who couldn't see the facts staring them in the face. One interlocutor accused me of sounding like a 'Russian bot.' These defenders of the rape gangs should hang their heads in shame.

What is surprising is that Starmer fought a rear guard action against a full enquiry, knowing full well the scope of the crimes committed and the complete failure of the authorities to act. I can only speculate he was motivated by a desire to protect the Labour councils who bear the lion's share of responsibility for this massive decades-long miscarriage of justice.

Still, even now, Labour apparatchiks are working hard to deflect criticism by suggesting that public outrage has nothing to do with seeking justice for the white working-class girl victims but is xenophobic in origins. Others are hinting at hidden white-run rape gangs without providing any substantial evidence.

One former chief constable, who had responsibility for child protection nationally, is busy distracting by pointing to children raping other children as a bigger issue. Again, where is the evidence? Why does he suddenly now raise this matter? It all stinks.

And still, the MSM and commentators massage their output by using the term ‘grooming gangs’. This ‘softer’ language tells you that many still are unable to face the dreadful truth.

Stepping back and looking at the big picture, this is not simply about the rape gangs. It is an inescapable fact that Starmer is unpopular. Last summer’s riots after the slaughter of young girls in Southport and the ongoing riots in Northern Ireland underscore that the public is no longer prepared to accept his two-tier law enforcement.

And as the pressure builds in working-class communities — largely ignored by those in the Westminster bubble — the potential for social unrest is just a spark away. Two decades of stagnation, a sense of hopelessness and fear grips the Balkanised communities mostly in post-industrial northern towns.

​With the NHS in crisis and cuts in funding to many social programmes, people are exasperated that each day, a thousand economic migrants, mostly young men, arrive from across the Channel unimpeded.

And while Starmer talks of putting the country on a 'war footing', the laughter can be heard across the shires. "We cannot even stop small boats in the channel: how can we be expected to fight a war?" is the reasonable retort.

With his personal opinion polls in the toilet, a failing economy, anticipated higher taxes, and a general erosion in public services, Starmer is busy reversing policies in a scramble to retain the impression of being in control.

The whole rape gang saga and Starmer's response to building community tensions point towards a man with his back to the wall. Well, he put himself there and must now deal with the consequences. Meanwhile, this episode remains a terrible indictment of the British establishment, which is captured by a flawed culture that will sacrifice young girls to maintain good relations with a minority ethnic community.

If this new inquiry is allowed to go where the evidence takes it, then justice may finally be served on those who facilitated these crimes. Although, I fear that a protracted inquiry will, like the Post scandal inquiry, take too long and fail the victims
