Pakistani Cartels, Sectarians & Islamists
The Legacy of Labour in Muslim Majority Communities
This photograph captures an attempted takeover. It was taken recently at a political meeting of something called The Oldham Group. The men running it are Pakistani, many with longstanding links to organised crime networks. They're now openly seizing control of Oldham Council.
Look at that image. Where are the women? Where are the White people? Where are the other minorities? In a town that supposedly values equality and diversity, the political machinery inside Muslim majority wards excludes everyone except one group of men. Women vanish. White working class residents disappear. African Caribbean, Eastern European, South East Asian and Middle Eastern communities are barred from the room. This isn't diversity. It's political segregation controlled by one bloc.
When women disappear from political life, safeguarding collapses. When White residents and other minorities are pushed out, scrutiny dies. That is when grooming gangs thrive, corruption spreads and criminal networks entrench themselves. What's left is a political structure held together by silence, intimidation and loyalty to the group rather than the public.
This photograph isn't just a snapshot. It's a warning. A closed circle claiming ownership over a multiethnic town. This is what happens when Labour allows sectarian power blocs to dominate entire wards without scrutiny or challenge. These are the consequences of decades of vote harvesting, patronage and political cowardice.
People ask me how towns like Oldham end up captured by Pakistani sectarians and Islamists. How organised cartels working with corrupt councillors and compromised police officers manage to turn working class communities into personal territories. This is how. A small group builds control, eliminates scrutiny, bars outsiders, and runs the place as if it belongs to them alone.
I've spent seven years documenting exactly how it works. Not through rumour but evidence, witness testimony and the lived experience of families abandoned by institutions meant to protect them.
For telling the truth I've been arrested, smeared as racist, dragged through courts and targeted by public bodies that preferred comfortable lies over accountability. I'd do it again because what I uncovered frightens them more than any riot ever could.
Oldham isn't unique. Across Britain the same pattern repeats. Pakistani and Bangladeshi political blocs. Sectarian enforcers. Islamist influence networks. A layer of so-called community leaders controlling access to funding, favours and political careers. Democracy becomes performance rather than reality.
These networks rely on one assumption: that ordinary people will never understand how the system really operates. That no one will question who's missing from the room. That the public will accept managed theatre while power gets captured by a narrow, self-interested circle.
They assumed no one was watching. They assumed no one would speak. They were wrong.
My work exposes their lies. I follow the money, uncover the cover-ups, show how political patronage, organised crime and religious sectarianism merge into a single machine capable of capturing entire towns.
I also give people tools to take their communities back through lawful, strategic, persistent action. This is why they want me silenced. Once people understand the playbook they can't be controlled. Once they see whose voices have been erased they refuse to be silent again.
I now travel across the United Kingdom helping communities learn exactly how to do that. You can support this work and defend your own town or watch it slide in the same direction as Oldham.
Everything I produce is free. I meet, teach and train at no cost because if this is allowed to continue, then there will be nothing left for any of us.
This isn't about politics anymore. It's about preservation of a ruling clique defending its own survival, even if it means abandoning the very people they swore to protect.
The nation does not need silence. It needs truth. This is not only a child abuse scandal. It is a crisis of truth, trust and governance in modern Britain.
I am Raja Miah. For seven years, I led a small team that exposed how politicians protected the rape gangs. I cannot do this on my own. I need you to stand with me and help make sure the National Inquiry we have all fought for is not a whitewash.
