Finally, after decades of silence enforced by Britain’s elites, a long-overdue debate has erupted about the rape gangs that stalk the streets of far too many towns in the United Kingdom.
An outraged backlash has been growing since GB News reported that the Labour government’s Safeguarding Minister, Jess Phillips, had rejected calls from grooming gang survivors in the northern town of Oldham for a public inquiry into the abuse they suffered and the way it was covered up. The interventions of Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Nigel Farage, and Kemi Badenoch have made it difficult to ignore the depravity of organised grooming gang activity in England.
For more than 20 years it has been an open secret that, in numerous English towns and cities, ‘Asian’—principally Pakistani—rape gangs were operating in plain sight of the local police and officialdom. The 2013 sentencing report into the Oxford grooming gang leaves no doubt about the moral depravity of these criminals.
These gangs were given a free pass to carry on with their monstrous crimes because neither the local nor the national elites were prepared to acknowledge the fact that multicultural Britain was in big trouble. Anyone who tried to expose the activities of these grooming gangs and highlight the ethnic origins of the criminals and the victims was immediately denounced as Islamophobic and racist.
I still remember the vilification of Ann Cryer, Labour MP for Keighley in Yorkshire, for daring to publicise horrific stories of abuse from a group of seven local mothers in 2003. These women told Cryer about how their young daughters were being abused repeatedly by their Asian ‘boyfriends.’ For trying to publicise the staggering scale of these crimes, Cryer was denounced as an Islamophobe and branded a racist, a liar, and a fantasist. Faced with such a ferocity of hatred, Cryer was forced to install a panic button in her own home.
It has been more than two decades since a group of multiculturalist entrepreneurs and their collaborators in the media and the political establishment attempted to shut Cryer down. Since that time, any politician who dared to tell it like it is has faced a similar reaction. Even former Labour home secretary Jack Straw was accused of ‘stereotyping’ when he spoke in 2011 of “a specific problem which involves Pakistani-heritage men … who target vulnerable, young, white girls who they regard as ‘easy meat.’”
Last year, the former Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman sought to call out the many Labour Councils who refused to clamp down on the rape gangs because they did not want to “come across as racist.” She was immediately branded as Islamophobic and accused of pandering to the ‘far right’ and dog-whistling to racists.
A veritable army of academics, race relations experts, and media pontificators respond to revelations about the hideous behaviour of Asian rape gangs by arguing that these crimes have nothing to do with their ethnic backgrounds. They have dreamt up ‘facts’ that supposedly show that group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are most commonly white. According to their version of events, the problem of grooming gangs is invented or inflated by Islamophobes. No doubt if they were confronted with pictures of the Oxford gang responsible for the most hideous of crimes their report would make no mention of their ethnic background.
So why are these gangs given a free pass to carry on with their hideous exploitation of young girls?
First of all, it is electoral calculations that lead many Labour politicians such as Jess Phillips to betray the victims of the rape gangs. There are numerous reports of Labour politicians ignoring or downplaying the threat posed by these gangs to their communities. As far as they are concerned, they don’t want to do anything that may upset their Muslim constituency. In the 2024 general election, Labour was defeated by ‘pro-Gaza’ candidates in several former strongholds with large Muslim populations; Phillips very nearly lost her Birmingham seat.
However, the cowardly behaviour of Labour politicians is matched by their Conservative colleagues. Conservative ministers and politicians have tended to go along with the reassuring noises of multicultural entrepreneurs and have been reluctant to draw attention to the ethnic background of the criminals and of their victims. They too believe that the myth of multicultural harmony must prevail. And they too do not want to be accused of Islamophobia.
Political opportunism coexists with anxiety about the consequences of fully revealing the truth about the rape gangs. Local officials and the police have opted to ignore the problem because they are worried about their capacity to deal with potential accusations of Islamophobia. They fear protests from the Muslim community, and a backlash from the white working class, and are far from certain about their ability to maintain law and order.
The political conspiracy of silence around the rape gangs is ultimately founded on the belief that telling the truth would unleash a chain of events that could expose the fragile foundations of multiculturalism.
Most attempts to explain the grooming gangs miss what is distinctive about this form of inter-community crime. Commentators have drawn attention to the misogynous behaviour of the gang members. Obviously, they are misogynous, but a general hatred of women cannot account for the kind of systematic evil that these men inflict on their victims. Misogyny alone does not lead to such intense group brutality and the total dehumanisation of their victims. Nor does it explain why the victims are not just any young girls, but children and teenagers who happen to be white.
Some have argued that what is most significant is the question of class, since these predators mostly prey on working-class girls. It is certainly true that the victims of these gangs tend to come from relatively poor and underprivileged backgrounds. No doubt, young girls from economically insecure and socially fragmented communities are easier prey than those who come from stable middle-class homes. However, it is not their class background that interests grooming gangs, but their accessibility. And what they are interested in is not just girls but those who happen to be white.
Others have suggested that these crimes are a reaction against the strict sexual mores that prevail in Muslim communities, and that frustrated Muslim men are simply taking advantage of the availability of non-Muslim girls. But looking for sexual partners from a non-Muslim background does not lead to committing horrific crimes of abuse. Most Muslim men who have sex with women outside their community are simply having sex and not committing a crime. Sexual opportunism should not be confused with the brutish activities of the rape gangs.
That the rapist gangs happen to be mainly Pakistani, and their victims white, is not an accident. Why? Because these men are not simply motivated by misogyny nor by sexual domination, but also by racial vengeance. Indeed, the most distinctive feature of the grooming gang phenomenon is its racial dimension. Anyone who is interested in understanding the dynamic at play should listen to the dehumanised language used by members of these gangs when they discuss the ‘white sluts’ who they dominate and rape.
As far as they are concerned, it is through their domination of these ‘white sluts’ that they feel that they have struck a blow against a society and a culture that they despise. Every time they inflict a sordid act of humiliation on a young white girl, they imagine that they got one back against a system that fails to esteem them.
It is only when you grasp the motive of racial vengeance that the unrestrained and dehumanised brutality of something like the Oxford rape gang becomes understandable. From this perspective, the more disgusting the act inflicted on a 12- or 13-year-old child, the greater the sense of accomplishment. Left to their devices, these men would not be averse to emulating the kind of total brutality and degradation that Hamas inflicted on Israeli women on 7 October.
The sexual exploitation and abuse perpetrated by the rape gangs has little to do with the quest for sexual pleasure or even sex. For these men, sexual domination serves as a way of taking revenge on white society. The refusal to publicly acknowledge the racial dimension of these crimes constitutes a betrayal of the victims. The most powerless section of British society is sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism.
Unless we grasp this reality and expose these hideous activities for what they are, these criminals will escalate and expand their activities on the streets of England.
What should really worry us is not only the willingness of groups of men to embrace such extreme forms of morally depraved behaviour. It is also the reaction, or the lack of reaction, to it from Britain’s political and cultural elites. As far as they were concerned, it was better that the victims of the rape gang accepted their horrible fate than that the public was made aware of some very disturbing inconvenient truths about multicultural Britain. Their shocking response and institutional collusion with the rape gangs continues. But hopefully not for long!

Racial Vengeance Gets a Free Pass in Grooming Gang Britain
