    Damn. I never thought I’d click on GBNews (I feel like I need to disinfect my handset now.)

    To quote their final paragraph:

    “There is a precedent for local authorities delivering successful independent inquiries into the grooming gangs scandal, such as in Rotherham and Telford, where thousands of victims were identified after decades of abuse were ignored by the authorities.”

    Whilst, yes, the government should be running the Home Office in reality the Civil Service runs the Home Office.

    Another, older, article with a decent précis of what has gone on before:

    MEN article

    As always, the whole truth is way too complicated to sum up in headlines and soundbites.

        And I thank you for reading it.

        Just to clarify my GBNews comment - they employ current and past Conservative politicians as show anchors so their impartiality is immediately compromised. It’s often seen as Fox News UK in that respect.
