SHOCK map exposes FIVE urgent grooming gang hotspots being ignored by Labour – is YOUR area one?

From GB News

They list 5 places; Bradford, Huddersfield, Oxford and Newcastle have all had at least one trial with multi-handed defendants but no city wide review. And then there is London. No trial.

In 2013 some men from London trafficed a London girl to join their friend in Ipswich where she was held and raped. But it was dealt with by Suffolk police and at Crown Court Norwich that they were tried and later sentenced. They had Islamic names; at least two of them, Hamza Ali and Mohammed Sheikh were Somali.

The investigation around the McDonalds in Stratford East London never resulted in any court proceedings and the Operation Grandbye investigation was quietly subsumed into general ‘Safe City’ training.  So No trial.

When asked Sadiq Khan looks shifty and wriggles and goes on the defensive. 

This is what GB News says about London and why they believe an inquiry would be useful and beneficial.

London

We have uncovered significant evidence that points to London being a hotbed for grooming gangs.

London accounted for 22 per cent of all referrals of minors for sexual exploitation in England and Wales between 2015 and 2019, which hints at the scale of abuse.

Operation Grandbye was launched following reports of grooming activities, notably around a McDonald’s in the Stratford Centre, where four teenage girls aged between 13 and 15 reported being raped by a group operating from that location in 2017.

However, providing an exact tally of grooming gang convictions to date is challenging due to factors such as underreporting, variations in record-keeping, and the evolving nature of investigations.

Furthermore, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has rejected calls for an inquiry into the presence of grooming gangs.

Tories on the London Assembly had proposed an amendment to Sadiq Khan’s budget, which included £4.49m for an “Independent Inquiry into the Exploitation of Children in London”.

In their budget amendment, the Conservatives said: “The potential scale of child sexual abuse across London remains a significant unknown. Given that there are more than fifty areas across the country that have been identified as locations in which the systemic rape of young children by grooming gangs took place, there is a strong possibility that this criminality also occurred in London.”

Those involved in rape gangs, whether directly or indirectly, you may run, but you can’t hide. Blocking inquires and stopping the release of transcripts won’t stop us.
