SUMMARY

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is expected to announce a plan to implement new local inquiries into grooming gangs

Five local reviews will be led by Baroness Louise Casey, with a budget of £10m, and will focus on the "cultural drivers" and ethnicity of the gangs

For weeks, the government has faced calls for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs

The issue was reignited at the start of the year when it emerged that safeguarding minister Jess Phillips turned down a request for government help with an inquiry in Oldham

The Conservatives, Reform, a handful of Labour MPs, and billionaire Elon Musk, have all called for new inquiries

Given the way it's been treated so far, it sounds like a whitewash about to happen.

They'll find a couple of goats to slaughter and that will be that.

Hope I'm wrong, obviously.

They’re trying to save face.

The cost and 5 inquiries is stupid. Might as well have one national inquiry but that means backing down

No inquiries needed. They and everybody else knows who is doing it. Start arresting and deporting the trash.

These scumbags and their “inquiries”.

But is you want to know how to live in style, you must pay attention to the grooming gang consensus.

The way to avoid stylish living is to throw away your I Phone

In some towns 1 out of 7 Pakistani men took part in the rape gangs. That means Everybody in the Pakistani community knew what was going on. They all participated or covered for it

The purpose of the inquiries is to investigate the cultural drivers and ethnicity of the gangs....So they are admitting that the gangs exist but won’t do anything to stop it, just understand it. WTF

Why do they call them “grooming” gangs?

They are RAPISTS, child rapists, pedophiles, and perverts!

They need to be castrated, penis surgically removed WITHOUT ANAESTHESIA and jailed for minimum of 20 years.

This is following the same path as the stories about Haitians eating cats. First it’s “it didn’t happen” then as information unfolds it’s “they only do it at Xmas time”. If the story was kept alive, we’d be at “the cats taunted them”.

You’re probably right, this is all an attempt to LOOK like you care, and are doing something.
