Smears, Silence, and the Collapse of Journalistic Standards
How the Spectator Quoted Criminals, Silenced a Whistleblower, and Called It Journalism
The Spectator has published a hit piece on me. This follows my objection to a cop killer’s getaway driver running for public office and objecting to how the Manchester Evening News ran a PR puff piece in violation of its own rules.
You can read the article below.
Instead of speaking to me, the author, Max Jeffery, chose to repeat and amplify smears, and to add his own, sourced from a convicted heroin dealer. This is a man convicted of multiple crimes against me.
‘Raja is a complete opportunist,’ said Imy. ‘He’s quite intelligent to a certain crowd – the far right.’
This is basic journalism that The Spectator is fully aware of. If you name me, attack my work exposing the Pakistani Rape Gangs, and then allow a convicted mobster to smear me as racist and far right, you offer me a right of reply.
I was not contacted by Max Jeffery. And now exposed for what he did, Max Jeffery has turned the comments off on his pinned post promoting the article where he smears me.
What The Spectator and its journalist Max Jeffery need to understand is this - I am seven years in, people from across the world know who is telling the truth and who is in the business of protecting Pakistani mobsters and the politicians involved in the cover up of the industrial scale gang rape of the nation's children.
Right of reply isn’t a courtesy. It is basic journalism.
If a publication names you, attacks your work, and blames you for events, it must contact you before publishing.
In my case, The Spectator repeatedly named me, attacked my work, and endorsed smears calling me racist and “far right,” sourced from a convicted criminal. It also blamed me for political “toxicity” in Oldham. At no point did Jeffery ever attempt contacting me.
Why would that be?
What the Spectator and its journalist Max Jeffery need to understand is this - We are seven years in. People from across the world know who is telling the truth and who is in the business of protecting Pakistani mobsters and the politicians involved in the cover up of the industrial scale gang rape of the nation's children.

I’m Raja Miah. For seven years, I led a small team that exposed how politicians protected the rape gangs. Before that, I spent over a decade safeguarding children and protecting communities from extremists.
My work is free because the truth must circulate. But truth without numbers is easy to crush. The government does not fear facts. It fears scale.
Starmer and the Labour Party fear thousands reading, sharing, and backing the same work because numbers mean witnesses, pressure, and consequences. That’s why I am blacklisted and smeared by the legacy media. That's why this matters.
