Nearly a decade after the abuse of vulnerable girls in Oxford began to be addressed, following years of negligence by police and social services, the last of the so-called Operation Bullfinch trials has ended. How did the sex offenders at the centre of the city’s depraved underworld finally come to face justice? Oxford, 2011. For… Continue reading Muslim Grooming Gangs Part 17

Muslim Grooming Gangs Part 16
The oldest person to be convicted, Shabir Ahmed, was for a while the main trafficker of the victims. On one occasion he ordered a girl aged 15 to have sex with Kabeer Hassan, as a “treat” for his birthday — Hassan then raped the girl himself. Abdul Aziz, a married father of three, took over… Continue reading Muslim Grooming Gangs Part 16
Muslim Grooming Gangs Part 15
The abuse of underage girls that occurred in 2008 and 2009 centred around two takeaways in Heywood near Rochdale. Despite one victim going to the police in 2008 to report the child grooming, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided not to prosecute two men, invoking the witness’s lack of credibility. Attempts by Rochdale Crisis Intervention… Continue reading Muslim Grooming Gangs Part 15
Muslim Grooming Gangs Part 14
In March 2015, Greater Manchester Police apologised for its failure to investigate the child sexual exploitation allegations more thoroughly between 2008–10. Sara Rowbotham, the sexual health worker who first recognised patterns of child abuse in the community and fought to bring these crimes to police attention, was made redundant in 2014.

BBC Bias Part 11
The BBC is losing me. It’s a sudden estrangement and an unwelcome one but I can’t seem to shake it off. The cause is the Corporation’s coverage of this thing that is happening that we still don’t have a name for but definitely should not call a ‘moment’. The butterfly effect from George Floyd’s killing is… Continue reading BBC Bias Part 11
BBC Bias Part 10
Mosey’s piece in the New Statesman addresses the question of bias directly. Emily Maitlis, he writes, laid out questions which the programme would address but “It was unambiguously clear what Maitlis’s own position was, and she stirred in words such as ‘fury, contempt and anguish’ to describe the national mood when a significant minority doesn’t… Continue reading BBC Bias Part 10
Tommy Robinson on Woke
Tommy Robinson makes the point against the Woke Culture, the Politically Correct Brigade that are taking over our country. Sick and tired of the whole thing? Oh yes Tommy and Big Time. The Masses in our Nation are Too Scared to Speak Up. They don’t want the Racist Card or the Islamophobic Card getting pulled… Continue reading Tommy Robinson on Woke
BBC Bias Part 9

These are the best pieces I have read about the state of BBC News for some time. I… Continue reading BBC Bias Part 9
