It was a shocking revelation. U.K. authorities ignored a child-trafficking ring — and the beating, terrorizing, and sexual abuse of native British girls — for 16 years. It was for a very troubling reason, too:
The perpetrators were Muslim.
In fact, one whistleblower was actually warned, “You must never [again] refer to Asian [Muslim] men,” and your “awareness of ethnic issues” needs to be raised. Why, she was even forced into “diversity training.”
That was 11 years ago, and The New American and other sources reported on the scandal at the time. But with the politically correct and then-more powerful mainstream media giving the story short shrift, it had no legs. And some British authorities were surely relieved and happy it was behind them. It was, too.
That is, until just the other day, when Elon Musk learned of it and embarked on an X-platform information rampage. It’s a testimonial to the new media’s power and the significance of Musk’s purchase of X. For if X were still Twitter and controlled by the Twitter twits, the story would’ve stayed buried.
Government Complicit in Child Rape
For some background, here’s what I related at The New American on August 29, 2014, quoting The Associated Press:
About 1,400 children were sexually exploited in a northern England town, a report concluded Tuesday….
Report author Alexis Jay cited appalling acts of violence between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham, a town of some 250,000.
… The report described rapes by multiple perpetrators, mainly from Britain’s Pakistani community, and how children were trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated.
“There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns [by the way, how’s that “gun control” working out, Britain?], made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone,” Jay said. “Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.”
As already mentioned, making this worse was that pusillanimous authorities ignored the crimes, fearful of inflaming the Muslim community and of the “racism” label.
Indifference Enables Iniquity
Yet the story didn’t end there. As commentator Andrea Widburg reported yesterday:
As time went by, it became clear that the grooming wasn’t limited to Rotherham. In one town and city after another across Britain (although mostly in the North and the Midlands), the same pattern was revealed: Muslims were horrifically exploiting non-Muslim British children while the authorities deliberately turned a blind eye.
The past might have stayed in the past were it not for Elon Musk, who became aware of a debate on X about Muslim immigration to the UK. The debate started by talking about Muslim immigration generally, with a leftist saying it worked wonderfully and Sam Bidwell, a conservative, giving chapter and verse about its failures. In that tweet, he said, “We still have dozens of towns which bear the scars of Pakistani grooming gangs, who targeted young girls because they were white.”
Naturally, a leftist challenged him to name those “dozens” of towns. Bidwell obliged with a list of 20 towns (and commenters added more), and Elon Musk took notice:

Then, on New Year’s Day, Musk retweeted the below from journalist Ian Miles Cheong. (Hat tip for the following and most of the subsequent tweets: Andrea Widburg.)
British police turned a blind eye to grooming gangs and ignored the plight of their very young victims.

The above video relates the story of one abused girl and how authorities arrested her, the victim, not her tormentors.
Truth Explosion
Now, a characteristic of healthy (substantively uncensored) social media — which is informational democracy — is that a massive amount of information can be disseminated on a topic quickly by thousands of citizen journalists. And this must have happened after Musk posted his first grooming-story tweet, states Widburg. Suddenly, she writes, he
was on fire, retweeting to the tens of millions who read his tweets story after story about the horrors the Muslim gangs inflicted on British children and about institutional British complicity, with everyone—the government, the police, and the media—covering up and downplaying what happened.
(Note: Some of the following contains explicit descriptions of sexual abuse.)
The grooming gangs trial summary transcripts are utterly grotesque. It’s incredible we haven’t had mass civil unrest. Media reporting guidelines helped bottle it up. Some of these people are going to walk free soon. https://t.co/nz2O0OKPwS pic.twitter.com/e3TtyWkYsv

By the way, grooming gang leaders were allowed to stay in the UK when it was decided that deporting them would breach their human rights. https://t.co/pJ1WhffiG8 pic.twitter.com/YGJ8XkIEga

One of the most shocking events in my academic career was at Oxford Uni (Oxford actually had a grooming gang) where professors denied it was a serious scandal. It was about 2 years ago. One tried to blame the white British. I wrote about it herehttps://t.co/2XFSjqocdu https://t.co/ezshxBrXoA

“Musk also retweeted this thread (which I urge you to read),” Widburg further writes. It provides “a detailed history about the rape gangs and the institutional cover-up.”
The Tech Realm Trump
Musk then demonstrated why the Establishment wants to destroy him, calling for the imprisonment of many of its members:
So many people at all levels of power in the UK need to be in prison for this. https://t.co/PtM39RGrFi
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 1, 2025
Musk then, again, trumpeted Britain’s anti-Establishment Reform UK party:
Vote Reform. It’s the only hope. https://t.co/NfJQ7NHBnj
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 1, 2025
Musk also took up the cudgels for anti-immigrationist campaigner Tommy Robinson (tweets below). The U.K. Establishment hates him perhaps more than anyone else on Earth.
Why is Tommy Robinson in a solitary confinement prison for telling the truth?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 1, 2025
He should be freed and those who covered up this travesty should take his place in that cell. https://t.co/Dn48JLoJgR
Watch this to understand more https://t.co/OwHGnMcAgK

Robinson isn’t alone, either. While Muslim gangs have been attacking British womanhood, U.K. cops have busied themselves arresting old men for “unapproved” internet posts. (Example below.)

But is it really that bad in Britain? No.
It’s worse.
That is, the U.K. actually has a “Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls.” She took action, too.
She blocked a nationwide inquiry into the gangs:

Labour’s Jess Phillips, Minister for Safeguarding, refused to back a public inquiry into child exploitation in Oldham, urging the council to handle it locally.
Her decision comes despite… https://t.co/uf9DWZep7P pic.twitter.com/X0GZKFzryU
Why? The reason may be, Musk discovered, that Britain’s current prime minister, Keir Starmer, was possibly complicit in the cover-up:
Who is the boss of Jess Phillips right now? Keir Stamer.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 2, 2025
The real reason she's refusing to investigate the rape gangs is that it would obviously lead to the blaming of Keir Stamer (head of the CPS at the time).
And given the cover-up, it perhaps is not surprising that the rape-gang leaders are, according to the below, still living happily in Britain.

We Have Met the Enemy, and…
Of course, the above speaks for itself. But here’s what doesn’t: The actual problem runs far deeper than “just” the rape-gang issue, horrible though that is. That problem is one of a deep cultural, moral, philosophical, and spiritual rot yielding twisted moral compasses.
Until Brits, and Westerners in general, are more afraid of being called pedophile enablers than “racists,” nothing will change. This distorted sense of virtue manifests itself in a multitude of ways, too.
Just think back to the O.J. Simpson trial and how many observers appeared more offended by a police officer (Mark Fuhrman) having used the n-word than by Simpson allegedly having murdered two people. Think of how after a jihadist attack, authorities often seem most concerned that it may spark “Islamophobia.” Or consider that today, as G.K. Chesterton once predicted, people are more tolerant of abortion than tobacco smoke. (In Britain, in fact, a new law will ultimately yield complete tobacco prohibition, while abortion is government funded.)
As mentioned above, too, sense of virtue is the issue. This isn’t a mere matter of intellectual understanding. For example, virtually everyone will say rape is worse than so-called hate speech. The question is: What bothers them the most emotionally? What is their visceral reaction?
The orchestrator of the Nazi death camps cried when his canary died. And too many today get more viscerally upset by what’s politically incorrect than by what’s morally incorrect.
And the moral here? Without a change in people’s internal governance, a change in external governance will likely be mere window dressing.

put a fork in that pathetic third world hellhole done in by its leaders and the invaders that were let in. they will, because of their actions avoiding arresting brown people, not be called racists, as they feared. i suppose 'traitor' is a better term to the english ear than 'peodphile enablers'.
