We just have to hope within that that the current Labour government will recognise biological reality. The danger is that the party is very split on the issue. On the other hand, the Equality and Human Rights Commission has been very clear that the law now says that single sex spaces must be based on biological sex.
So I think there'll probably be a battle within the government over the next few years about this, and they're going to have to legislate. But that legislation will be very controversial. And we can also expect to see legal challenges from left-wing activist groups.
I think the hope has to be that we've hit peak trans, that the vibe has shifted, that the tide is beginning to roll back against the madness we've seen over the last decade. There have been a lot of scandals recently in Britain because people have looked into the clinics that are dealing with transgenderism.
And they were encouraging children to have life-altering surgery and not really giving them all the information, not really letting them understand that these were completely life-changing operations. And for most people, you know, while some people do have real confusion over their sex, Most people actually just get over it and it turns out it's not a real issue at all.
So we have to hope that if the vibe has somewhat changed, that this sort of irresponsible push for vulnerable people and vulnerable children to change sex will decrease and that there will be an admission that this is something that's biologically impossible. Let's hope that the culture catches up to that.
My pleasure. Thank you for having me.
Morning Wire · Britain’s Grooming Gang Scandal: Cover-ups & Calls for Action | 1.11.25 · 11 Jan 2025

So the scandal itself dates back to the early years of the 2010s, although the actual cases date back into the 1990s and possibly even beyond. It started with a journalist called Andrew Norfolk at the Times of London.
He started doing investigations based on court documents that he'd seen, and he gradually revealed that there were gangs of largely Pakistani-origin men in the north of England who had been grooming and then sexually abusing underage white girls often in deeply sadistic ways.
This really, really burst into the mainstream properly when his stories about a small town called Rotherham resulted in an inquiry. And the inquiry found that in the small town of 250,000 people, that 1,500 girls have been abused there between 1997 and 2013. And the police had failed to stop it. The council had failed to stop it. Sometimes that had been because they're incompetent.
Sometimes it had been because there was a certain degree of corruption going on. But a lot of the time it was because they were afraid of being called racist. And that's because most of these child abusers were members of the Pakistani community. And that community was only about 5,000 people large. So although the exact number of perpetrators is very difficult to ascertain,
One academic report found that one in 73 Muslim men between the ages of 16 and 60 in Rotherham had been prosecuted for the crime, which is a staggering number. And that was followed by inquiries into other places like Telford and Rochdale, and they found thousands more victims. So the real number of victims of these gangs may well be over 10,000.
So when the story originally broke, it was in the British press. And if it appeared overseas, it would have been in the pages of the foreign newspapers. Now it's on Twitter. It's on X. And people have been posting extracts from the sentencing remarks of the trials. And they contain some absolutely shocking, shocking details. So that suddenly has gone viral and it's brought attention to it.
And I think it's very important that these sources are official sources. Because as you suggest, it can be really hard when you're discussing the grooming gangs not to sound like a conspiracy theorist. Can it really be true that thousands of girls were raped whilst the police looked the other way because they didn't want to be called racist?
that the fathers who tried to rescue their daughters were arrested by the police rather than them arresting the abusers. And that girls as young as 11 were being gang raped in British towns. So the fact the information was coming from official reports with, you know, very clinical, very bloodless language, that made it very hard to deny.
Oh, definitely. And it all comes down to that tricky issue of ethnicity. Not just because some people still fear being called racist, but because it's very hard for some people to accept that many of the criminals involved were abusing these girls because of the color of their skin. In the transcripts, they often call the victims white slags or white whores.
And over the last few decades, it's been a strong pressure from the media, from politicians in Britain to support anti-racism and multiculturalism. And those aren't necessarily bad things, but it's generally meant telling white people that they're racist and they are the ones that need to learn to live with the cultures of other people.
And the grooming gang scandal is a stake through the heart of that. Because what it shows is that the greatest race hate crime in Britain was against whites. And it shows that some parts of these foreign cultures are in fact bad. you know, a lot of the abusers felt that white girls were loose or they were easy, and that because they were outside of their own community, they were fair game.
So over the years, various left-wing activists and academics have worked quite hard trying to deny the reality. They've tried to muddle the statistics. They've pointed to white child abusers who, of course, do exist, but Nobody's ever been able to point to this kind of massive reuse of one group by another. It really is unique.
So the current battle in Parliament is about whether there should be a national inquiry. So there's been a big child abuse inquiry over the last few years called the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse. But it wasn't about the grooming gangs. And the phrase grooming gangs doesn't even appear in the final report.
So even though it's the biggest recent child abuse scandal, there's still this desire to look away. One father that GB News recently spoke to, called Jack, has spoken out about how he was arrested by police officers when he tried to rescue his daughter from his abusers.
