A Top-down Willed Failure

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer got a bit tearful in his resignation remarks, quite a departure from the emotionless, bot-like face he normally presents to the world. But then, he was alluding to his family, people he apparently cares about. He's sad now, but in the days to come, he may realize that he has dodged a bullet – or perhaps a lynching – as the soul-sickening findings published by the Restore Britain Party's leader's Rupert Lowe 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report, released June 16, are bruited in international news.

Starmer did not envision facing that particular music so soon. Lowe's report was independently collated and produced independently with strong survivor collaboration overseen by now 43-year old Sammy Woodhouse, herself a survivor of horrific abuse, who has turned years of personal tragedy into relentless but dignified advocacy and political activism. The report lacks statutory power, but the people's court of public opinion is already ablaze with indignation on X and Youtube at its revelations.

The government's official Inquiry into Grooming Gangs report is just getting underway, with a deadline for publication of March 31, 2029, and a budget of 65 million pounds. It's not something Starmer wanted to do. The government had in fact dismissed calls for a national inquiry, arguing the scandal had already been examined in a seven-year inquiry led by Professor Alexis Jay. Professor Jay handed in her report to the then-Conservative government in 2022 but so far only two of her 20 recommendations have been implemented.

It may be that Starmer got goosed into further action by Elon Musk's entering the fray with a campaign on X calling for a national inquiry in the beginning of 2025 and focusing criticism on Starmer's failures...

Tar and feathers — literally or figuratively — is not enough punishment for the evil politicians who imported and facilitated the abuse of young British girls.

Steyn fails to mention that the Casey audit was commissioned by the government following the Commons debate, and that the formal public Inquiry was set up immediately on receipt of Casey's recommendations.The implication that the present government was dilatory or obstructive on this is false.
