Maggie Oliver is a hero. I definitely would have a statue of Maggie Oliver. I know her very well. She is relentless. She set up a charity since walking out of the police in disgust that supports the victims and raises awareness. Now, Maggie gave 13 years of her life to the police, to Greater Manchester Police.

She was tasked with getting the stories, the statements from some of the victims who trusted her eventually, because you would if you work with Maggie. She's that sort of person. And then, of course, her senior officers let those girls down catastrophically, stratospherically. And I've met these girls, now women. I've interviewed some of these young women.

They are utterly amazing, but their lives have been pretty much destroyed by the betrayal. And one girl in particular who Maggie was trying to help by getting her statement and getting her abusers in court, she was put on the indictment as a perpetrator. when some of the abusers were on trial.

So rather than them being on trial for what they'd done to her, she was called and indicted as a pimp, as a madam. She was a child at the time. And these girls were tasked with bringing back other victims for these men. And these men were extremely dangerous. And as we know, they've murdered girls. So you did what you were told. So imagine being let down by that. And Maggie exposed that.

She spoke about it. She wrote about it. And she now acts to change things. There was also Jane Senior, who was working... within child protection broadly, who also spoke out and she was vilified. But there were very few that did at the time. They really were so few people.

And mostly these girls, when they would go, as I said, to sexual health clinics with the most appalling injuries and diseases and, of course, pregnancies as children, We're not even supported or reported. What sort of a society do we live in where that is not actioned? It's beggar's belief.

But for the whistleblowers, what they did, and I do include a couple of journalists in this who obviously were in a very different situation to those that were going to lose their jobs. as Maggie did, they were the ones that did what the police and what social services and what the Crown Prosecution Service were supposed to be doing and didn't.

I find Elon Musk a repellent human being. The point is that this now has happened and it is on the international stage. And so my concern as a feminist isn't to hark back and think, why won't we listen to? We're rarely listened to. We have to really push and scream and shout. And eventually we are.
