Stalled, Silenced And Still Being Sabotaged

The Desperate Need For A Framework for Exposing the Rape Gang Cover-Up

The so-called national inquiry into grooming gangs has stalled. Not because evidence is lacking. Not because survivors are silent. It has stalled because the government continues to tip toe around the very institutions accused of betrayal. Councils and police forces that presided over industrial-scale abuse are still being treated as partners and consulted with to decide whether their own failures should be investigated. Predictably, the vast majority are dragging their heels or refusing to co-operate.

Which is why Jess Phillips, the Minister for Safeguarding, has been reduced to calling councils "idiots." Though she claims '"I don't care whether the councils want it or not", her own government continues to indulge them. In a recent interview with Sky News, Phillips also remains evasive with how many local authorities have so far agreed to participate in the inquiry and references the number as perhaps five or six.

Survivors were promised truth and justice; instead they are being fobbed off with vague assurances, endless delays, and more political games. Why?

This is not a bureaucratic problem. It is a political calculation. From Calderdale to Bradford, from Birmingham to Oldham, in London boroughs and across the entire country, those in power know what a real inquiry would uncover: systematic cover-ups, destroyed files, ignored whistleblowers, and the deliberate abandonment of working-class White girls by politicians now in government. Better, they think, to stall than to face the shame of exposure.

The survivors have kept their side of the bargain, speaking out, testifying, reliving their trauma in public. It is the government that has broken its word. The solution is simple: take the decision out of the hands of councils and police forces implicated in the betrayal. What's needed is a credible methodology, objective, evidence-driven, rooted in survivors' demands.

Methodology for Selecting Inquiry Towns

Where councils asked, they must be included
If a council has formally requested inclusion, that alone justifies inquiry. Oldham has done so; others should pass motions at council meetings and follow.
Where convictions exist, the record is clear
Convictions prove the crime beyond dispute. These towns cannot be ignored: Rochdale, Rotherham, Oxford, Newcastle, Telford.
Where multiple gangs operated, the abuse was systemic
Separate conviction waves show entrenched criminality, not isolated incidents. Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Telford, Newcastle all meet this test.
Where investigations are still live, the inquiry cannot ignore them
Ongoing police and NCA investigations prove unfinished business. Operation Beaconport, led by the National Crime Agency (NCA), is reviewing more than 1,200 closed cases. Every town and city on their list should be included.
Where cover-ups were exposed, inclusion is non-negotiable
Whistleblowers, journalists, and survivors uncovered deliberate concealment. Rotherham, Oldham, Birmingham, Calderdale are the clearest cases.
Where files were destroyed or withheld, the silence speaks volumes
Missing minutes and destroyed records reveal institutional fear. Manchester (Operation Augusta) and Oldham stand out.
Where rapid demographic change created political sensitivity
Places where asylum dispersal and South Asian settlement coincided with official denial: Dewsbury, Batley, Blackburn, East London boroughs (Tower Hamlets, Newham, Barking).
Where leadership denied the obvious, accountability is overdue
Senior leaders dismissed evidence and survivors. Bradford, Calderdale, Birmingham, London boroughs are emblematic.
Where survivors still demand justice, the inquiry must listen
Where survivors lead campaigns, the inquiry must follow. Rochdale, Telford, Rotherham remain centres of activism and demand.

Priority Inquiry Local Authority Areas

Applying this methodology produces a clear shortlist. There will be more. These towns and boroughs cannot be excluded without rendering the inquiry meaningless:

Batley
Birmingham
Blackburn
Bradford
Calderdale (Halifax)
Dewsbury
East London boroughs (Tower Hamlets, Newham, Barking)
Huddersfield
Manchester
Newcastle
Oldham
Oxford
Rochdale
Rotherham
Telford

The government's current approach is a sham. Survivors were promised a national reckoning. What they are being offered instead is a half-inquiry, designed not to expose councils, but to protect them.

If this inquiry is to mean anything, its scope must be determined by evidence and survivor testimony, not by the willingness of corrupt institutions to co-operate. These nine criteria form a clear and objective framework. Apply them, and the towns that matter will be included. Ignore them, and the inquiry becomes yet another act of betrayal.

The girls of Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, Oldham, Bradford, Huddersfield, and beyond were abandoned once. To abandon them again under the guise of an inquiry would not simply be unforgivable, it would destroy what little public trust remains in government.

There is a line between justice and complicity. And Jess Phillips crossed it some time ago.

They silenced victims. They erased evidence. They persecuted whistleblowers, buried official reports, and protected predators.

They thought no one would fight back. They were wrong.

I’m not Maggie Oliver. I’m not Tommy Robinson. I’m a political campaigner, and my mission is clear: expose the cover-up, explain the corruption, educate the nation, and show people how to fight back.

That’s why they tried to jail me. That’s why they tried to sue me. That's why Pakistani gangsters and Islamists with direct links to the Labour Party try to silence me. They all know how dangerous the truth is.

But I can’t do this alone. Every day I keep going, more people wake up. Every day we grow stronger.

If my words have ever helped you make sense of this broken system, if they’ve ever made you feel seen, heard, or hopeful, then please don’t scroll past.
