One of the things that has struck me about the atrocities that are the grooming and rape gangs which have afflicted city after city and town after town in the United Kingdom, are the seeming absence of such problems in the nation’s capital London. To all intents and purposes, whilst Manchester and Birmingham along with numerous other towns and cities have scandals involving rape gangs, often rape gangs made up of a majority of Pakistanis and other Moslems, London has been a bit of a black hole regarding such crimes. There were no trials of offenders or news of arrests or even credible rumours about Rape Gangs operating in London.
This lack of cases, even one such case, coming out of London has always struck me as highly unusual. It’s not what logic would say should be happening. After all, London has many of the social issues that creates the sort of environments which have been a factor in other places that have been afflicted by Rape Gangs. London has a large transient population, broken families, poverty, politicised social services, religious and racial sectarianism, large numbers of Moslems (some completely unintegrated into British society and culture), local councils that are seemingly addicted to left wingery and Islamopandering and it is a place which is a magnet for children and young people who for various reasons run away from their home towns. I find it impossible to believe that London doesn’t have a Rape Gang problem, as all the factors that go towards creating a permissive environment for such gangs exists and has existed for years in the capital.
I’ve often commented on social media that the idea that London is untouched by the sort of problems that have afflicted other local authority areas is utterly fantastical. Why would London NOT be affected by Rape Gang issues when all the ingredients for such a scandal are present in London? I have also said that because it’s unrealistic to believe that London is untouched by the scourge of Rape Gangs, that if such a scandal does emerge from the capital then it’s going to be a big one.
But the great wall of silence surrounding the issue of Rape Gangs in the capital seems to be starting to crumble. What’s even more interesting is that this wall is crumbling despite the efforts of Greater London Mayor Sadiq Khan and his political cronies doing their utmost to shore this wall up. The wall of silence around the issue of Rape Gangs in London started to crumble earlier this year when Conservative Party London Assembly member Susan Hall questioned the Mayor and the Mayor in response to Ms Hall purported to not know what she was talking about. Since then and with the publicity surrounding Baroness Casey’s report into group based child sexual exploitation, there has been more attention focused on London by anti-grooming activists, alternative media and even elements in the mainstream media. Even the BBC, that bastion of middle class lefty bullshit, is having to admit there may be a Grooming and Rape Gang problem in London, although they are doing damage limitation with regards to their reporting by pushing the ‘every group is affected’ line as part of their narrative about this story.
It’s clear from what Baroness Casey has found that London may indeed have a problem but it is difficult to say how big the problem is. Baroness Casey found that the Metropolitan Police were not consistent in monitoring or recording these types of crimes and London’s local councils seem to have less referrals to their social services departments for child sexual exploitation than they should have. Basically we don’t know how bad the problem is because it hasn’t been looked at by either police or politicians in London, nor have allegations of child sexual exploitation been properly or effectively recorded or reported by them. When even the state broadcaster the BBC is reporting that the grooming problem in London is ‘more catastrophic than anywhere else’ then it’s the sort of problem that we should sit up and take notice of.
Mayor Khan has tried to deflect on the issue of grooming gangs by saying that the grooming is part of the County Lines drug and crime gang problems and to a certain extent he’s correct but I doubt that this is the only story. It’s quite possible that the sort of Islam-inspired Rape Gangs that have marred other places in the UK are also operating in the London area but the Met might be not properly investigating any intelligence that they may have on such gangs and the London Boroughs may not be accurately reporting or recording suspicions of child sexual exploitation. Because the local authorities, the Greater London Authority and the Metropolitan Police haven’t bothered to compile the information that they would need to assess and tackle this problem, then we don’t know how big this problem might be. However, bearing in mind the fact that London has a huge population, along with a population and a political culture that has similarities with those in areas where Rape Gang activity has been uncovered, then you need to ask yourself why wouldn’t London have worse Rape and Grooming Gang problems than anywhere else in the country? There is, in my opinion, an urgent and pressing need for there to be a separate public inquiry into the issue of child sexual exploitation in London and its surrounding areas. I don’t believe that just treating London as a chapter in a broader inquiry into child sexual exploitation and the Rape Gangs is entirely sufficient. I don’t think that this would do the subject any justice at all. The Government needs to convene a specific public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in London and one which can look deeply into local councils and the Metropolitan Police, in order to find out once and for all just how big this problem is. The problem facing those of us who would like to see such an investigation is that Mayor Khan would, for various reasons including identity politics ones, have every incentive to prevent such an inquiry happening, because what such an inquiry might uncover could be politically embarrassing for Mayor Khan and his political backers and might alienate the sectarian vote banks that he has relied upon for his power.
It is looking increasingly likely that my fears that London’s potential Rape Gang problem might indeed be ‘the big one’ might have some basis to them. It remains to be see whether those in authority have the balls to lift up the rancid carpet and look what has been brushed underneath, allegedly by the Metropolitan Police, the Greater London Authority and local London boroughs.
