UK Labour Forced to Deny It Was Pushed to Act on Grooming Gangs by Elon Musk, Social Media Outrage
Breitbart ^ | 01/17/2025 | Oliver JJ Lane

Posted on 01/17/2025 8:04:20 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

“We’re not a government that governs by social media”, insists spokesman for UK’s left-wing government as new announcements on tackling child rape grooming gangs comes after weeks of intense scrutiny and anger on social media.

Widespread anger and scrutiny of Britain’s now decades-long scandal of “Pakistani-heritage” organised child rape gangs in regional towns and cities organically emerged on social media over Christmas and the New Year, and was latterly boosted by X-owner Elon Musk. On Thursday this week, the UK’s left-wing government went further than it ever has before in announcing new action on the scourge, but quickly moved to deny today its announcements were in any way related to what had been so widely discussed online.

UK Culture minister Lisa Nandy told UK broadcasters on Friday that “We’re not a government that governs by social media. We govern for the real world”, asserting “I don’t agree for a moment that this government is being driven by what happens on social media””.

Govern for the real world my butt. I say something where a father called into a show in the UK and wanted to report something that happened with his daughter and they told him don't because he would be labeled racist.

Elon Musk and X users don’t need “credit “, they need results. The effectiveness of crowd media is that there is no longer any place to hide and voices are loud enough to be heard and not ignored.

I wouldn’t care if they called me a racist. I would have no problem executing all involved in this child grooming. As a matter of fact, if a “racist” is one who will not tolerate Muslim grooming gangs, then we need more racists. Many more.

A very substantial percentage of Britain's population are moslems. For years and years Britain has allowed citizens of former colonies...including Pakistan...to settle there. And these moslems vote for “Labour”.

It wasn’t too long ago in the UK that if you even took a picture at a public park that MAY HAVE POSSIBLY had a child somewhere in the background of the picture, parents would come up to you and demand you erase the picture.

It was crazy.

People would go absolutely nuts.

Now, their government won’t even investigate verifiable mass child rape cases.

Strange.

Yeah, they were actually planning to plan to think about possibly considering hiring someone to do a study about why British girls are such a bunch of ho’s preying on those poor defenseless refugees.

The leftists who promoted multiculturalism enabled the sexual slavery of those girls and should be punished. Allah told Muslims that raping infidels is perfectly OK. All cultures are not equal.

In one case a father tracked down his teenaged daughter and was threatened with arrest for ‘stalking’ her groomer/rapists. In Germany or Austria a woman got more time for calling a rapist a rapist than the rapist received for the rape.

They ARE a government who governs by social media.
They refused to do anything about the rape gangs because they were afraid of being called racist online.

Accord to their so-called holy book, muslims are entitled to to harm any infidel in any way including raping Man, Woman or Child. Any harm done to an infidel is considered the act of a saint.

People really should read the koran to see what we are up against.

Just be aware that in many European countries accurately quoting the Koran is considered a hate crime. Yes, it’s that insane over there.

LOL! After years of desperately trying to bury the story and gaslight everyone, the British Establishment picked now of all times to suddenly get interested in investigating exactly what happened because......errr.....reasons.......

Let’s face it, the UK is a repressive dystopian hell-hole and proto-islamic state. The banks wield the capital, the Royals have been completely neutered of any real power, muslim gangs run the prisons, and the translucent honkeys with bad teeth who supposedly run things are running scared.

The little people now have a voice. Big media losing the power to set, control and maintain a narrative that can tell the people what to think. Folks are no longer going to big media to know what is (politically) correct to say.
