Here are eight essential quotes from @RupertLowe10
‘s Rape Gang Inquiry.
1) This was a nationwide, not merely local, phenomenon.
“…that this was never a series of isolated local failures. It was a coordinated, nationwide pattern of organised child sexual exploitation that repeated in town after town, city after city, from the far north to the south coast.”
2) The scale was enormous, more than anyone dared to think.
“The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher.”
3) As has been reported, the vast majority of perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims.
” In court records and official inquiries, around 87% of those convicted in these group-based child sexual exploitation (‘CSE’) cases bore distinctively Muslim names… Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam with the Oxford Islamic Congregation, believes the true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95%.”
4) Vulnerable girls were targeted using a consistent method.
“Organised networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men.”
5) The police, and other institutions, knew what was happening and ignored it.
“Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail. Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers. The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care. Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them.”
6) Those in these institutions did so because they were afraid of being called ‘racist’.
“Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children.”
7) Parts of the foster and orphan care system became exploitation hotspots.
“Children’s homes became trafficking hubs where staff failed to stop older men collecting girls at night. Local authorities often returned children to unsafe homes and placements despite repeated disclosures of grooming… Social care across England systematically enabled organised grooming and the rape of children. Children’s services, local authorities, foster carers, children’s homes, and independent units repeatedly returned vulnerable children to known risk.”
8) Multiple offenders explicitly linked their treatment of these girls with their own religious and cultural beliefs, and the girls’ white ethnicity.
“They were taken to houses, flats, restaurants, and hotels where they were raped repeatedly by groups of men, tortured, filmed for blackmail, and told they were “white trash” or “kuffar” who merited punishment.”
There must be comeuppance for this, and it must involve the death penalty.

🚨WOW: Sadiq Khan personally READ reports on young girls gang-raped in London hotels by Muslims plied with drugs, threatened & abused.
YET on multiple occasions, he publicly denied grooming gangs exist in the capital.
This denial has enabled abuse.

From Peachy Keenan: “One of the darkest aspects of this is that these girls came from the lower classes, the north, the working class, the industrial towns and cities. Their grandparents and ancestors were coal miners, factory workers, soldiers, servants to the upper classes. To show their thanks to generations of loyal Brits who did backbreaking toil for their country and the crown, their daughters were given as sex slaves to foreign invaders. A genocide of native people. The crimes of the complicit modern UK government put it up there with Ceausescu’s Romania and Pol Pot.”
And the reply: “We have class issues in this country, though we deny it, but nothing like the deep loathing that the UK middle classes (not the upper classes) have for the working class. We are talking about the university credentialed class (used to be a lot smaller). A whole class of educators, officers, medical, engineers, managers. One life example, I recall on Youtube, an interview with a working-class electrician. In the engineering firm that we worked at managment/engineering never addressed him by his name, not his first name nor his last name (Mr. Raines, for example) but simply as ‘Sparks’. ‘Hey Sparks, take a look at this….’. He’s an electricians, so ‘Sparks’, get it. The intent was to alienate, even dehumanize, and it’s still there working today. Deep, deep, deep loathing. A loathing that was as deep as American racism at it’s worst.”
OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.
GEORGIA: Rep. Mike Collins wins GOP runoff in Georgia Senate race. “Rep. Mike Collins has won the Republican Senate runoff in Georgia, NBC News projects, setting up a race against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in one of the most competitive and important campaigns in the country. Collins’ primary victory over former college football coach Derek Dooley is also a win for President Donald Trump, who endorsed the two-term congressman just a few days before Tuesday’s runoff election.”

GOOD. Alleged DC National Guard shooter could face death penalty with new charges. “Lakanwal — an Afghan national — is accused of killing Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe in an ambush-style shooting several blocks from the White House last November. He was also charged with attempting to kill two other unnamed service members who subdued him at the scene of the attack.”
I THINK CHESTERTON’S FENCE MAY APPLY TO ORGANS: A ‘Useless’ Organ That Doctors Often Remove May Actually Fight Cancer. “In a study in 2023, US researchers found that those who get their thymus removed face an increased risk of death from any cause in the five years following the surgery. They also face an increased risk of developing cancer during that time.”
