So we decided to do it.

So we had to basically do all the research and we had to use Sami's experience and we had to have safeguarding experts because when you undertake something like this, you know, the psychosomatic effects of dragging up these evils from the past can have a profound mental effect on people.

So we had to make sure we had all the safeguards there.

We produce the witness bundles.

By the way, Patrick, we think $250,000 is a very conservative figure.

Well, because of Sammy Woodhouse's experience and because of the experience of places up north where you'd had largely Islamic settlement in places like Bradford, in Leeds, in Rotherham, in Rochdale, all across a lot, largely in a lot of the northern cities, but this is happening across Britain in almost everywhere.

But we thought we'd look at not only the victims, but we'd also try and analyse the reasons why this happened and how it happened and how it wasn't dealt with by the authorities.

So we knew from Sammy that this had happened to her, it had happened to many other people, and that was what took some time.

We went and found the victims who were fit enough and well enough to be able to give evidence, and I

I'm absolutely full of praise for them because the two-week hearing, I have to say, was probably two of the worst weeks of my life having to listen to this testimony, not just from victims, as I say, but also from

experts on islam and from medical experts and from all the the people we needed to to hear from other mps uh who sit in the house with me from other parties so it was a cross-party effort but it didn't it wasn't a statutory inquiry so we didn't have the the ability to force people to attend everyone who attended attended voluntarily

So we didn't go into this with any preconceived idea of what we were going to find.

But what we found is that there is a link between the Islamic settlement in parts of the UK

And the fact that they don't integrate, they have very often their own Sharia law, which is allowed to happen, which I personally think is a disgrace.

If you live in this country, you should live by our laws and you should integrate into our society and you should contribute and accept the fact that we're a Christian country with a very long history and a very proud heritage.

and come here because you want to contribute, not because you want to settle your own religion and your own creed and your own credo within another country.

So I think what has happened is, and it's a very complex situation, but gradually over time,

In a way, it was accelerated to some extent, I think, by the Stephen Lawrence case, which was a tragic murder of a young black man.

And after that, I think we became fearful of being called racist as a nation.

then morphed into obviously DEI and a lot of other sort of what I call malign philosophies, which have weakened the fabric of Britain.
