The Inquiry They Fear the Most Is the One This Country Deserves
Children were sacrificed to protect political interests. Communities that tried to speak were branded far right. Now the truth is undeniable, and the system that hid it is collapsing under its own lies.
Across the country, Labour’s local political networks learned that a small number of powerful men and community power brokers could deliver something they valued more than safeguarding vulnerable children. They delivered guaranteed votes.
Postal vote blocs became political currency, traded for silence, influence and protection. The drug dealers, money launderers, businessmen and councillors at the centre of these cartel structures understood their worth. They did not simply influence elections. They managed them, organising the harvesting of postal votes in ways local Labour figures came to depend on. They knew they were untouchable. They knew the authorities would not dare challenge the networks that kept them in power.
In return for that loyalty, they were indulged. Senior officials hid evidence. Political leaders looked away. And year after year, those who dared to tell the truth were intimidated, marginalised, discredited and punished to protect the political order. Protecting the machinery of power mattered more than protecting children.
This is the reality the national inquiry must face if it is to earn the confidence of the public. Even the Guardian, a paper openly hostile to our campaign, recently acknowledged that the government’s proposed terms are so restrictive that no senior judge is willing to take the job. When long-time critics begin to admit the process looks predetermined, it becomes impossible to deny how deeply rooted the problem is.
Despite everything, momentum is shifting. The truth is breaking through because people are speaking openly and the facts can no longer be pushed aside. The public are refusing to swallow the lies that protected this scandal for so long. Survivors carried this truth for years while the country looked away. Their communities tried to warn the authorities and were silenced and branded far right. None of that helped them. It only delayed justice. People can now see what has taken place. Even Parliament is starting to echo our words and repeat what it once dismissed as conspiracy.
Faced with a truth they can no longer bury, the political class are scrambling to control the damage. This is why they are trying to shape the inquiry before it begins. They know what a real investigation would expose, and they know who it would expose. Everyone can see what they are doing. And because of us, they are failing.
This fight may be far from over. And at times it may feel hopeless. But ask yourself a simple question. If not us, then who. And if we do not act now, when will anything ever change.
They have tried everything to stop us. We are still here. They believed fear would silence us. They were wrong. Every attempt to punish us has only strengthened our resolve. We are stronger now than at any point in this struggle. Not because we ever sought out this fight, but because we could not turn away from what was happening to our children.
The cost has been high. Many of us have given up careers, friendships, family relationships and financial security. Some have placed the safety of their own families at risk simply for insisting that the truth be heard. These sacrifices are real and they are painful. But they are the price of refusing to abandon vulnerable children, as this country once did.
We are not leaving. The survivors are not leaving. The communities that once stood on the margins now stand in the centre of a national reckoning. We did not choose this fight, but we will see it through.
If not us, then who?
If not now, then when?
They'll Rewrite History to Make Themselves the Heroes. Don't Let Them.
This inquiry didn't happen because the government suddenly found its moral compass. It was dragged into existence by survivors who wouldn't shut up, whistleblowers who refused to disappear, and a public tired of being lied to.
For years, they fought against it. Now they'll fight to control it.
Watch how it unfolds. Limited scope. Sanitised language. Politicians rewrite history as if they are the saviours. Meanwhile, evidence will mysteriously vanish. Key witnesses will develop sudden memory loss. And when it's over, they'll package it all up as "lessons learned."
The whitewash has already begun. The only question is whether we let them get away with it. I am Raja Miah. For six years, I led a small team that exposed how politicians protected the rape gangs.
So now the question is: will you stand with me and help make sure the National Inquiry we have all fought for is not a whitewash?
We’re running out of time. Without the numbers, they will win. It’s as simple as that.
