The Lies Behind Andy Burnham's Oldham’s ‘Assurance Review’

The Case to Put Burnham Behind Bars

GM Mayor, Andy Burnham’s now admitted ‘limited’ Assurance Review into the gang rape of young White girls in Oldham was published on 20th June 2022.

At this point, nearly everyone else had resigned themselves to accepting;

that there was no cover up
accepted we would never uncover the truth
accusing me of lying.

the review team found no evidence either through interviews or documentary review to suggest senior managers or councillors sought to cover-up the existence of CSE or the complexity involved in tackling perpetrators and nor was there widespread CSE in residential settings, in shisha bars or in the local taxi trade. - GMCA

Despite the official narrative, and at the time facing a prison sentence, I persisted in campaigning for justice and exposing the lies. It took until January 2025 - over two and a half years later - for Andy Burnham to finally admit his so-called Assurance Review had failed to reveal the truth.

A national inquiry will confirm the role the Mayor’s office played in facilitating the cover up. It will end Burnham's aspirations of becoming Prime Minister, and if the State does not prosecute him, hopefully he will be on Maggie Oliver's list of private prosecutions.

When I started this form of political campaigning, targeting powerful politicians involved in covering up the gang rape of children, the at the time leader of Oldham Council, Sean Fielding, claimed my evidence as 'bare faced lies'. Now, not only do we know who the real liars are, we also know that what we forced them to admit to in Oldham is taking place across the United Kingdom.

In the end, as with all such cases where our government has attempted to cover-up serious injustices, it is only ever the actions of ordinary people that force a reckoning. I accept that not everyone can do what I do. If truth be told, I would not wish it on anyone. Nonetheless, in our own way, everyone of us can help and secure justice.

Please Help Me Finish This.

You won’t find me on any news channel in the UK nor featured in the legacy press. I take this scandal to a place from where there is no coming back.

My work is free for all. No paywalls. No restrictions. No exclusions of any kind. We are up against a powerful machine: legacy media, politicians, police and public officials working together to bury the scale of this cover-up. To fight back, we need to grow. Unfortunately, our numbers aren’t where they need to be.
