I think this misses the biggest failing here, which is that nobody outside the bubble has even heard about this inquiry. The BBC haven't reported on it - and for normies, if the BBC don't report on it, it didn't happen.

George's avatar

That is unusual?

The BBC refusing to report on rape gangs?

The establishment censoring what hurts them?

I’m surprised at the naivety, how could anyone expect anything else?

Totally disagree.

Lowe goes up in my esteem for funding it.

There's a huge wall of silence from politicians, Starmer, the police, those in positions of authority, social workers, safe-guarding adults....It's absolutely disgraceful that so many knowing adults shielded fu*k*ng organised rape gangs and allowed children to be used and abused FOR YEARS in the most sickening and depraved manner.

Abyine reading the testimony of the victims is likely to be sickened and angry.

This is an appalling stain on our country and I'd like to see every adult who swept this atrocity under the carpet named, shamed and punished.

No one to date has done anything about it.

No one.

Lowe, if nothing else has opened a putrid can of worms. Thank God he has!

Others, for decades, have let sleeping dogs lie, for shameful reasons.

He funded it himself. I applaud him.

The government and local authorities and those with power did nothing, for fear of appearing racist (and we now appreciate, to appease Muslims to ensure their vote.) No wonder every person with a shred of decency is angry.

The only person who has fought for justice is Rupert Lowe.

It might not be the most professional report but who fucking cares!

It has succeeded in alarming all those who should be bloody ashamed or those hiding their involvement and running scared.

The government and politicians before them did sweet FA. NOTHING.

Lowe did something - and I find your criticism totally unwarranted.

Niall Warry's avatar

Yes "Lowe did something" but was it any damn good and will it produce the results you and I would want????

George's avatar

It’s only been out a day.

We can wait at least a few weeks to see what’s happens, not 24 hours.

When do you think the governments enquiry will start, never mind end.

And what do you think the results of that enquiry will be?

I’ll go with ‘lessons will be learnt’ and a few modifications to laws after an avalanche of recommendations. If really scared the sacrifice of a few non entities.

Niall Warry's avatar

My fear is Pete's bias analysis is right.

George's avatar

We will see, but if he is right, what’s left?

He rubbishes Restore efforts- where there is no alternative effort.

No doubt he will declare for another party in due course, my guess is the Tory’s, Reform, perhaps?

Niall Warry's avatar

In this Age of Decadence and decline the issue sadly is to face the reality that nobody currently in the political field has the ability or detailed plan to turn our country around.

Hoping that anyone from the 'existing lot' will get to grips with all our problems sadly wishful thinking. The reality is things will get worse before they better and if the existing contenders, to govern us, aren't rubbished then we will be stuck in a doom loop for longer then necessary.

George's avatar

Could well be.

The repercussions are grim.

Civil war predictions are frighteningly getting closer.

You can feel the hate.

First in by the looks of it, when I saw what was going on my heart sank and if you want to end up politically friendless then dare to ask awkward questions about this shitshow. Sounds like we've both been upsetting the right (wrong) people.

There are a few obvious holes in this nonsense that should be apparent to anyone who thinks about it dispassionately for more than 5 seconds. This 'inquiry' has no judicial oversight or executive powers to actually 'do' anything so...what's the point of it again? The powers that be can and will ignore it.

Then there's the integrity of it or lack of...two words 'Elanor Williams' and you might wonder if indiscriminately believing 'victims' without any testing or cross-examination of their evidence is a good idea. How are the clowns behind this going to look when it transpires that some of the 'victims' were actually fantasists, attention seekers, mentally ill etc?

We only need a couple for this to become a 24 carat laughing stock...or do people just not care about that sort of thing anymore?

This may not sit comfortably in the constituency but it's worth remembering that most of our Pakistani/Muslim neighbours had nothing to do with this and there's a real risk of this irresponsible 'inquiry' sparking a major incident...and for what? Maybe sparking some sort of riot and racial tension is actually the aim here, it would explain quite a bit.

On with a new series soon Peter, I'll get your name down again...

What happens with Hillsborough?

Years later a few recommendations.

What about prosecutions?

What about Grenfell?

The blood contamination enquiry?

What’s going on with the Covid debacle?

Prosecutions? Imprisonments? The prisons are overflowing aren’t they?

It’s as if there is no history of official cover up, disgrace after disgrace and no punishment.

I don’t expect anything else - another cover up and another and another.

Thank God for Rupert Lowe. I look forward to his naming names / if he isn’t knocked off.

Yes it’s true that as this mock inquiry had no judicial teeth nor established objectives it will almost certainly be ignored by Starmer and even moreso Burnham who, if Raja Miah is to be believed which I do, has skin in the game.

Second and even worse Burnham and Co may use this waste of space as an opportunity to say “well there you go folks, job done by Uncle Rup, nothing more to see here, bish bash bosh”. That would be the almightiest of betrayals and show the stupidity of this exercise.

George's avatar

So you think the Labour enquiry is going to do anything (that is if it ever goes ahead).

If you think Rupert Lowes enquiry is a waste of time, keep anticipating Keir Starmers enquiry - I’m sure it will be sorted in a couple of decades.

The Martyr's avatar

They’ll use any old excuse to kick the can down the road.

This inquiry should have been carried out by the British Government. It is indicative of the failure of the Government that Restore had to try to do something. This is a shameful example of utter weakness, stupidity and corruption of the British Government.

The official inquiry into Covid is going to cost £200 million and tell us nothing useful. It will probably recommend all the worst policies for the next flu epidemic.

So, there's something to be said for an enquiry that costs less than 1% of an official enquiry and still manages to attract some attention. There are two truths at the heart of the rape gang story.

Firstly, islam is barbaric and has a catastrophic impact when allowed into a civilised society.

Secondly, the Labour Party has been acting on behalf of islam for 50 years.

This report will educate a few more normies.

I think Pete nails it when he says amplification. It may be amateur, but what else could Restore do, they are largely unknown with no power to enforce anything. Conjecture, but maybe it's more a presse to an international audience, this may not be new information to us, but it probably is across the pond. What the impact of that will that be, I don't know, but it gives Musk and buddies something to point to.

George's avatar

There is no previous disaster where the culprits were brought to book by the UK government.

What was the quote re madness? Keep doing the same and expect a different outcome?

It's all about the propaganda value. The political and institutional powers are fully behind Replacement Migration. The battle is spiritual, for hearts and minds, opinions don't matter only results. This is a zero sum game, either ultimately ethnonationalism triumphs or the globalists lock us down in the Fifteen Minutes Cities eating bugs and owning nothing.

George's avatar

They seem to think any government enquiry would be honest, effective and thorough.

It has never happened with other enquiries but somehow, this time, it will be.

They’re either naive, or blowing smoke.

Viv's avatar

These are all valid points, however this is the only attempt anyone has ever made to do this. It's also clear that Restore doesn't have the resources, by which I mean the people, money, and right to call witnesses, that a government whitewash, oops sorry, inquiry, would have. Everyone else wants this brushed under the carpet.

Regarding the scale of abuse, this is never going to be anything but semi-educated guesswork. Most victims will never say anything, some nonvictims will come forward claiming to be victims, as undoubtedly happened to some extent in previous high-profile sex abuse scandals. A number is inherently unknowable given the crime usually leaves little in the way of corroborating evidence.

George's avatar

Except that prosecutions of a large number of rape gang members has occurred so what we’re looking at is the cover up behind this evil.

There is no justice for the victims in this abomination.

But showing a light on the dark recesses (naming names) is an improvement on previous government led investigations where nobody was brought to book.

Andrew Booth's avatar

Fair points Pete. I wonder if rather than holding an inquiry, Lowe would have been better off chucking £100k say at some proper researchers to go off and investigate the subject.

One question would be "estimate the total number of victims over time?"

i've no idea if the claim of 250k victims is plausible.

on the one hand gangs seem to exist everywhere Pakistanis live (its a feature not a bug) and many of these gangs existed for decades. On the other the evidence i have seen is that most gangs had relatively few victims at any point in time. Once they had their hooks into a girl, the girl was passed around the group to be abused by many men. At any point the ratio of victims to perps in a group was never more than 1 to 1.

George's avatar

There has already been investigations with no actions taken against the establishment as the police aren’t willing to investigate and prosecute themselves.

Rupert Lowes enquiry opens up a bag of worms which will see people named.

I worry for his life as there will reach a point where getting rid of him will be regarded as the least damaging option.

That’s how effective his actions are.

It illustrates how corrupt this country is and how waiting for an honest government enquiry is such a waste of time, it will never happen.

Niall Warry's avatar

Lowe is sadly turning out to be a political false prophet and joins the other party leaders in Westminster especially our Nige!

George's avatar

False prophets don’t follow up on their aims.

His investigation is done. Released.

Next on the agenda is naming names.

If that’s a false prophet, we need more of them.
