The govt can't even get the much-needed national inquiry off the ground without issues. Do we really think grooming gangs are being rooted out locally & we're confronting the role racist attitudes of Pakistani perpetrators towards white girls likely played in this context?

The parallels with the grooming gangs that have operated across British towns and cities for decades are striking too. Again girls abused horribly, but seen as complicit in their rape. Again, men hiding behind status to make themselves untouchable - this time their ethnicity.

I’ve been appalled by the conduct of NHS Fife, funded by taxpayers to scare future whistleblowers off exposing their wrongdoing. Grim stuff.
