A Critical Examination of Grooming Gangs and Political Accountability

A decades-old scandal rooted in the north of England has, in the last few days, been pushed to the top of the western world’s newscycle; that being the grooming gangs of Rotherham. In this particular case, the perpetrators were largely Pakistani muslim men while the victims were largely white underage girls. Worse still, it’s being reported that this case was ‘covered up’ due to fears that it could spark islamophobia. Author and psychologist Jordan Peterson speaks to Piers about how the UK came to find that ‘causing offence’ is a bigger problem than child abuse.

Piers then throws the debate over to his panel; consisting of Political Journalist Ava Santina, Uncensored contributor Esther Krakue, co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room Natalie Winters and philosopher & writer Jack Symes.
