Honestly with Bari Weiss
The UK Grooming Gangs and the Cowardice of the West

When the victims of domestic violence, for example, can't get a police call-out, can't get a police officer to come to the house, where social media is being monitored, but not actual crime, face-to-face crime in the streets and in the homes. There's always a consciousness amongst those of us that try to fight and improve the system that it can be two-tier and inconsistent.

You know, Barry, it's quite an interesting one because I think he's a terrible politician. I think he's a coward. I think he's a posturer. I don't think he'll last very long. I would say he was a disappointment, but I'm not surprised at all. I thought he would be terrible.

But when he was Director of Public Prosecutions, although he could have done more, and of course one can always do more, he did more to prosecute crimes against children and women than any other DPP.

And in fact, I directly worked with Keir Starmer on a report that I wrote on female genital mutilation, FGM, which was being carried out and is still being carried out in private clinics in Harley Street. and where a blind eye was being turned to families taking their daughters out of the country for FGM. And he helped me with my report and spoke at the launch of that report.

So yes, the man is just, so inadequate in so many ways. But I have to say that there are way worse than him when it comes to this issue. But he's been, in my view, quite disgraceful the way he's responded to this re-emergence of the grooming gang scandal by saying that his concern was... about an MP being targeted rather than the girls being targeted, being abused, being raped, having been raped.

I was also concerned about the MP being targeted. I think it was wholly wrong. But for him to prioritise that when he answered the question about it, what a wrong move.

I think that we have to get the abusers convicted before anything can be done, and then we can disagree on what solution there might be. But these men are not convicted. We have a rape conviction rate. in the UK, well, across England and Wales, of under 1% from reporting through to the end. So the system is in absolute disarray.
