Episode notes
Grooming Gang Origins
- The UK grooming gang scandal traces back to the 1970s, worsening with increased Pakistani immigration under Tony Blair.
- The gangs target vulnerable young girls, often in orphanages, exploiting their need for belonging.
The Cover-Up
- Authorities, including police and social workers, blamed the victims and covered up the scandal to protect the image of multiculturalism.
- This cover-up was driven by political correctness and a disregard for working-class victims.
The Rise of the EDL
- The English Defence League (EDL), led by Tommy Robinson, emerged as a working-class response to the grooming gangs and the state's inaction.
- The establishment labeled the EDL and Robinson as racist to discredit their concerns.
