Just How Deep Does Burnham's Betrayal Run?

Just How Deep Does Burnham's Betrayal Run?

One of the most harrowing stories I’ve ever told about how powerful the Pakistani rape gangs became in Oldham was reluctantly confirmed by Andy Burnham in his so-called Assurance Review. It’s the account, verified by a serving police officer, of children being dragged off the streets in broad daylight. Snatched and taken away to be gang raped.


That’s where we ended up. But it didn’t start there.

This level of brazen abuse by the bloc vote supplying Pakistani Rape Gangs did not materialise out of thin air. It was cultivated. It was allowed to grow, decade after decade, under the watchful eyes of a cowardly, complicit, White professional class that viewed working-class White children with outright contempt.

Let me say it plainly: It wasn’t fear of being called racist that prevented headteachers and police inspectors from intervening. This wasn’t a failure of nerve that held them back. It was racism. A deep, systemic, unspoken racism directed squarely at the White working class.

Before children were being abducted in the open, the predators were already circling the schools. In Oldham, taxi drivers would line up outside school gates to groom and lure 12 year old girls into their cars. It happened in broad daylight, day after day. Everyone knew - teachers, social workers, councillors, police officers and even the MPs. They all knew and not one of them did a thing.

Here’s what one former pupil told me. These are his words, in full:

“It was common at Radclyffe School at that time to see cars of Pakistani men picking underage white girls up from school. This was a regular thing.

Although it wasn’t me who complained to the teachers, it was some other lads and they were told by the teachers it was the pupils’ choice.

It was well known by pupils and staff. We definitely saw this happening over the years. Teachers chose not to say or do anything. It was like the norm. Nothing unusual about it.

This was 1998 to 1999 - my last two years at school.”

Now ask yourself:

  1. Why did Andy Burnham's so called 'expert' team exclude schools from the terms of reference of their investigation?
  2. Why were the very authorities accused of facilitating these crimes asked to supply the evidence used to assess their own failures?
  3. Why did the King of the North front a report claiming there was no cover up and suggest it was time to move on?

Even with these glaring flaws, the Greater Manchester Mayor, who now positions himself as a future Prime Minister, stood at the front of a press conference where his experts declared there had been no cover-up. Burnham then had the audacity to state his review was 'good value for money and good for the people of Greater Manchester'.

The world now knows Andy Burnham's Assurance Review in Oldham was a cover up. Even Burnham has been retrospectively forced to admit it was 'limited'.

Let me be absolutely clear: what happened in Oldham was not an aberration. It was part of a national pattern. At least 50 towns and cities across the UK have endured the same combination of industrial-scale abuse and institutional betrayal. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has publicly shared estimates that more than 100,000 girls may have been affected.

Only after relentless pressure from survivors, whistleblowers, and community campaigners was the government finally forced to establish a National Inquiry into the grooming gangs.

But don’t let that fool you into thinking justice is coming. Because left to their own devices, those leading this inquiry will rig the process. They will stage-manage it. They will protect reputations and safeguard careers. They will serve the same institutions that allowed this to happen in the first place.

The state isn’t preparing to deliver justice. It’s preparing to rewrite history. To whitewash what really happened. To absolve those who stood by while children were betrayed for bloc votes and abandoned to be brutalised in a modern day equivalent of a rape camp.

That’s why I won’t stop. That’s why we can’t stop.

Because the truth still matters. Justice still matters. And those who enabled this national betrayal must be exposed, no matter how powerful they are, or how hard they try to bury the past.

Wouldn't you agree Andy Burnham?

If you believe Keir Starmer and his Pakistani gangster Islamist courting Labour Party narrative, then once they could no longer dismiss the industrial-scale gang rape of young white girls as a “far-right conspiracy,” we’re told it was fear of being labelled racist that stopped police, public servants, and politicians from protecting those children.

If you believe me, you’ll know the truth is far worse:

They didn’t fail to act because they were afraid. They failed to act because they gained from the silence. They protected the perpetrators because the system rewarded their complicity.

And if you’ve followed my work, you’ll also know they’ve tried, again and again, to silence me. They’ve failed. I’ve exposed the evidence. I’ve laid bare the mechanics of the cover-up.

Now the question is: will enough of you stand with me?

Because if we act together, we stand a real chance of not just of holding every complicit official to account, but of ensuring this never happens again.

If we do nothing, if we simply complain while watching from the sidelines, then this National Inquiry will be nothing more than another whitewash.

But if we join the campaign that forced this inquiry into existence, if enough of us stand up, then politicians will go to prison. This government will fall. And the Labour Party will be finished.

If there’s even a one-in-a-million chance of achieving that, would you not take 10 seconds to stand with me?

By now, most of you know who I am. You know what I’ve done. And you know I’m not here to play games.

I’m not a Maggie Oliver. I’m not a Tommy Robinson or a Charlie Peters. I’m a political campaigner. Despite attempts to smear me, imprison me, even kill me, I’ve led the political movement that forced this inquiry into existence.

But to take on the full weight of the state and win, we need to scale up. Fast.

We need 10,000 committed people willing to learn the facts, raise awareness, and fight smart in their own communities. Right now, we’re just over 5,000. That 's some going. We need at least 5,000 more.
