THE RAPE GANGS USED TAXIS TO RAPE CHILDREN. THE POLICE KNEW. THE COUNCILS KEPT LICENSING THEM. THE GOVERNMENT REFUSE TO STOP IT.
THREE PAKISTANI TAXI DRIVERS IN ROCHDALE, MOHAMMED SHAHZAD, NAHEEM AKRAM AND NISAR HUSSAIN, RAPED A SCHOOLGIRL BETWEEN 2001 AND 2006. ONE OF THE ATTACKS WAS FILMED IN THE BACK OF HUSSAIN'S TAXI.

For decades, social workers and police have known that Pakistani men were using the taxi trade to rape little White girls in towns and cities across the country. Instead of taking action, they protected these men. Successive governments have allowed it to continue.
In June 2025 Baroness Casey's national audit into group-based child sexual exploitation found that the taxi licensing system had been exploited by the rape gangs and told the government it needed urgent reform. The government accepted it. Rochdale was one of the towns she was writing about.
Rochdale Council had licensed three men who raped a child. The likelihood is that it knew of many more men just like these three. Its own social workers knew taxi drivers were having 'sex' with children.
They called one of the girls a 'prostitute'. The child was just ten years old.
Greater Manchester Police knew the same. Since 1976 a council has had the power to take a badge off any driver it is not satisfied is fit and proper. There was no need for either a conviction or even a charge. It would be a lie to say the police failed to act. They did act. They closed down investigations and protected the rape gangs.
Hundreds of towns and cities like Rochdale had the power to intervene. They had the knowledge. They knew children were being gang raped and trafficked across the country through a network of Pakistani gangs. They all made a political decision to sacrifice little White girls at the altar of multiculturalism and trade them for bloc votes from the Pakistani Muslim communities.
Shahzad, Akram and Hussain drove Rochdale’s children for years after the council and the police knew what was being done to her in the back of a taxi. Rochdale Council will not say if or when it ever took their badges off them. No one knows just how many taxi drivers are members of the rape gangs. My estimate is that it is over 10,000.
Heidi Alexander has been Transport Secretary since November 2024. Casey warned her in June 2025. She told the Commons the government was “taking this very seriously”, was reviewing whether councils follow existing guidance, and would hold those that do not to account.
The councils are the problem she is asking to mark their own homework.
In January 2026 Alexander's department proposed moving the badge from district councils to transport authorities. That was their solution. In Greater Manchester that would move Oldham’s licensing from the council that covered it up to the office Andy Burnham held while it was being covered up.
In October 2026 the government said it was still deciding which model to use. It has also promised national minimum standards and a power to suspend a driver on the spot. Councils have had the power to suspend a driver on the spot since 1976.
Why does a politician get to decide who drives the children at all? Especially when that politician relies on the bloc vote these men control for them to stay in power?
AND TODAY. 263 councils in England decide who drives their children. Every one of them has had the power since 1976 to take a badge off a man without a conviction. Rochdale did not use it. Rotherham did not use it. Oldham did not use it. No law makes a council use it. Nothing Heidi Alexander has proposed would make them.
A man banned from working with children can be handed a badge this week in any town in England. The councils that licensed the rape gangs are licensing the next ones.
Part 2 of my series on what would destroy the rape gangs will be published later today on Red Wall and the Rabble. If you read part 1, you will see a pattern emerging. I really do not care which politician or political party I upset. I'm not here for any of them. I'm here to protect little girls from gang rape.

People ask me one question more than any other. Are children still being groomed, gang raped and sold across the United Kingdom? I take no joy in sharing with you that they are. And there are more men involved than there were before.
Little White girls are still being gang raped and sold in this country. The men doing it are not only Pakistani. Other ethnic gangs have moved into our towns and cities, watched how the Pakistani gangs got away with it, and started their own rape gangs.
It can be stopped. And over the course of this week I will detail a number of policies that would destroy the child rape trade in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, eight years has taught me that not one political party will do what's necessary unless we force them. Which is why it is up to us to force them.
I don't care if you are Labour, Conservative, Reform or Restore. I care that you want the gang rape of children to stop. If you are with me, then you are with me for this reason more than any other.
My name is Raja Miah. I led the campaign that forced the national inquiry. Now I will share with you the key policies that any political party could campaign for that will destroy the rape gangs for good.
You can decide for yourself why politicians need dragging kicking and screaming to a place that protects little girls from gang rape.

We forced the inquiry. Now we need the numbers to make sure they cannot control what happens next. Unfortunately, we are reaching the end of the road where I can continue working this way.
The paid subscriptions have stalled. Worse, tens of thousands of people are now reading these articles without even joining the free mailing list. The audience is growing, but the number of people actually standing behind the work is not growing with it.
Over a million people engaged in my content this weekend. Only a small fraction followed up with a subscription to my newsletter This is becoming impossible to sustain.
For eight years I have exposed how politicians, police and public bodies failed working class White girls who were systematically raped by Pakistani grooming gangs. Together, with the support of the people of Oldham, we forced the Government to concede a National Statutory Inquiry after years of resistance.
Children gang raped, communities betrayed, politicians and police officers involved protected, and you expected to shake your head and carry on as if nothing more can be done because lessons have been learned.
For eight years, I have refused. The police repeatedly dawn raided my home and falsified evidence to try and silence me. The newspapers smeared me. And Pakistani gangsters, under the protection of Labour politicians, followed me home. Islamists openly incited my murder.
Blacklisted by the mainstream media, only your support makes it possible for me to keep exposing the truth those in power want buried.
They sold children for votes and sacrificed entire towns and cities at their altar of multiculturalism. I help you make sense of it. And I help you fight back.

We’re up against a machine, politicians, police, officials, and media, working together to shrink, sanitise, and bury the truth. This work survives because of you.
