British politicians covered up Pakistani grooming gangs targeting underage white girls, fearing 'Islamophobia.' Now diluting truth by calling them ‘Asian gangs’. Vote-bank politics in convenience over justice
Similar is the case with the Justin Trudeau-led govt. in Canada

The Rotherham scandal shook Britain: 1,400+ children exploited over 16 years while authorities looked away. @elonmusk recently highlighted this devastating case, calling for a full national inquiry. The government's reluctance to investigate official failures is telling.

Notable figures including JK Rowling & Kemi Badenoch joined calls for a national inquiry. Yet political resistance continues. The response Musk received from the UK? That he "misjudged & certainly misinformed". Question is- why are some officials so hesitant to dig deeper?

The grooming gang scandal in UK has been a significant issue, particularly in towns, Rotherham, Rochdale, & Telford. These cases involved predominantly Pak Muslim males targeting vulnerable, often, white girls. The issue was known but largely ignored or downplayed for years

Several reports emerged that former Labour Party leaders & the current leader Keir Starmer at the CPS, failed to act decisively. Labour councilors & officials discouraged police action out of fear of racial tensions/ losing votes in areas with significant Muslim populations

Fast forward to 2025
Labour’s Jess Phillips just rejected demands for a Government-led inquiry into Oldham's exploitation scandal, despite desperate pleas from survivors and their families. Safeguarding Minister's response? "It's for the local council to handle."

Former UK PM Liz Truss (@trussliz) reaction to this?
“This is the same Jess Phillips who excused masked Islamist thugs. Her title, ‘Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls,"' is a perversion of the English language.

Cases pertaining to child abuse crimes has been an inherent problem of Labour Party. In 2022, ex-Labour Peer Nazir Ahmed pled found guilty of sexual offences against 2 children. He has been active member of intl. nexus active on Indian faultlines

And UK isn’t the only one. Let's talk about Canada, replete with such cases. Under PM Justin Trudeau, Canada is facing a crisis, nobody wants to talk about. Reports, facts, & stats reveal a disturbing pattern of exploitation, institutional silence, and political negligence

Similar patterns have emerged in Canada, that of grooming gangs, with Sikh communities raising concerns about their daughters being targeted. Here, the issue is complex, intertwined with drug cartels, which as per many reports are facilitated by Pakistani-origin groups

Let's start with the numbers that Trudeau's government doesn't want you to see: Human trafficking reports have surged by 400% since he took office.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. In 2020, Canadian women's organizations revealed a shocking truth: Anti-trafficking program funding had LAPSED under Trudeau's administration. Services closed. Support vanished. Victims were left vulnerable.
12/n x.com
The numbers are horrifying:
- 4,500+ trafficking incidents reported (2013-2023)
- Major spike from 2018-2019
- 1.4 incidents per 100,000 population in 2023. And these are just the reported cases. The stats speak more and the uncovered cases speak vastly more.

In an explosive revelation in Oct '24, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown exposed how international students, particularly women, are systematically exploited in Canada. False job offers lead to coerced exploitation, with RCMP identifying 500+ Asian women, including minors, forced into exploitation nationwide

2021 investigation: Ten men arrested in Alberta for exploiting a 15-year-old. Law enforcement believes there were more victims. This isn't an isolated case - it's part of a pattern spanning multiple provinces.

Trudeau himself has been a focal point of critique, particularly after an incident in 2000 where he was accused of inappropriate behavior at a festival. This event, while not directly related to grooming gangs’ prima facie, has been used to question his sensitivity to issues of sexual misconduct & cultural bias.

Social media figure Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) who has vocally raised alarms about the grooming gangs in the UK, was arrested in Canada on several charges last year. Robinson also pointed to the operations of Grooming Gangs in Canada last year.

Under Justin Trudeau's governance, there's been criticism for a perceived lack of action. Much like in the UK, there's those political considerations, including maintaining multicultural harmony, might be overshadowing the urgency to protect vulnerable youth.
18/n
The parallels between UK & Canada are disturbing:
a. Delayed responses to reports
b. Inadequate resource allocation
c. Systematic failures in victim protection
d. Political reluctance to address root causes
19/n
The world watches as governments continue to sweep these crimes under the carpet. But survivors deserve justice, and citizens deserve answers. This isn't just about the past - it's about protecting vulnerable people RIGHT NOW.
20/n
Remember: Behind every statistic is a human being. Behind every delayed inquiry is a survivor waiting for justice. Behind every funding cut is a support service that could have saved lives. Rhetoric like “South Asians” instead of “Pakistani origin” in cases like this are glaringly used for political appeasement
21/n
This thread barely scratches the surface. The rot is much deeper and demands accountability. Whether it's the UK/ Canada, both govts, through their failures to tackle this rot or their choice to sweep heinous crimes under the carpet, have more often than not allowed the actual perpetrators to escape justice.
