From what I can gather at least 20,000 children were sexually abused in those grooming gangs over the last couple of decades from multiple cities and towns in the UK. If you're working class you probably know a child this happened to in my experience.

What's weird and upset me as someone who knows a victim of these grooming gangs wasn't that the police didn't do anything, but that to public didn't care and all the protests against the cover up were branded as far-right.

Nothing will change because whenever the BBC, the police or our politicians are reviled to have been covering up a child rape story the media seem to defend our institutions and the public don't seem to care much either way.

I know this is mostly irrelevant to the story posted here, but you're touching on is very true imo. The UK does seem to turn a blind eye to the problem of pedophilia.
