When Asked About Girls’ Safety, The Would Be Prime Minister Looked Away
Make no mistake about what you witnessed last week. Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester and Labour’s would-be Prime Minister, was asked a simple question. Would he put the safety of girls before the fear of upsetting people.
He did not answer it.
What followed was his full ten-minute monologue. This was not leadership under pressure. It was evasion under scrutiny. A stage-managed performance in a familiar setting, chaired sympathetically, designed to avoid the one thing that mattered. A clear answer.
So look instead at what Andy Burnham actually did.
His defence rests on commissioning the “largest, longest-running inquiry.” What he does not say is that from the outset;
- it had no power to compel evidence
- Its terms of reference were set by institutions facing allegations
- Even the review team depended on Oldham Council and Greater Manchester Police to decide which documents they were allowed to see.
He then dismisses credible concerns about Oldham as “rumours.” Yet his own Assurance Review later confirmed that children in Oldham had been groomed and gang raped. Every case his experts examined confirmed this. Even then, the full extent of that abuse was obscured.
To this day, we do not know how many little White girls in Oldham were dragged off the streets and gang raped by Pakistani men.
Despite knowing both the truth of those concerns and the limits of his own review, Burnham still refused to call for a national inquiry that could have exposed who failed these children and why. Instead, he and his Labour Party allies hid behind a finding of “no evidence of a cover-up,” while having explicitly ruled out investigating whether a cover-up had taken place.
Only years later, after relentless campaigning and global attention forced the issue back into the open, did Burnham finally support national action. And when confronted with this record, he does not answer it. He accuses his critics of spreading hate.
A full article will follow. If you still need convincing, you will then understand why this would-be Prime Minister refuses to face scrutiny in the open. He knows exactly what would happen if he were challenged directly on what he was part of.
So let there be no ambiguity.
The allegation facing Andy Burnham is his role in the cover-up of the industrial-scale gang rape of the nation’s children.
Name the time and place Andy Burnham. Face me. Face the millions who want to know who is telling the truth.
