Absurd: UK Home Office Drops Another £10 Million to Fight 'Islamophobia'

Oh, FFS, Britain. You are a parody of a country now. 

I wasn't planning to write another UK-centric piece for a while because I fear I write too many, but I couldn't let this one go by.

For decades, so-called "Asian grooming gangs," which are mainly Muslim Pakistanis with some other Muslims joining in, have roamed Britain, raping young girls with impunity. The authorities knew, covered it, and are continuing to do as much as they can to continue doing so. 

Kier Starmer finally, sorta-kinda, gave in to pressure and authorized a national inquiry after opposing it, but the effort to get it off the ground has stalled due to stonewalling. Candidates to lead the effort have been dropping out of the running, and by now, everybody knows that it will likely go nowhere. It was a sham, as will any report it provides.

A recent audit—not the result of a national inquiry but a more cursory examination of the evidence already out there—was released. What it showed was that the British government turned its back on its own citizens for decades, and that it still hasn't confronted the crisis head-on. 

And, whatever the Labour government says, they won't. I'm not even sure whether Reform UK has the intestinal fortitude to do so, or that the legal structure in the country has the mechanisms to do so. The problem has festered so long that it may not be soluble. 

At its heart she identifies a deep-rooted failure to treat children as children. A continued failure to protect children and teenage girls from rape, from exploitation, and serious violence. And from the scars that last a lifetime.

She finds too much fragmentation in the authorities’ response, too little sharing of information, too much reliance on flawed data, too much denial, too little justice, too many criminals getting off, too many victims being let down.

The audit describes;

  • victims as young as 10 – often those in care, or children with learning or physical disabilities – being singled out for grooming precisely because of their vulnerability

  • perpetrators still walking free because no one joined the dots or because the law ended up protecting them instead of the victims that they had exploited

  • deep rooted institutional failures, stretching back decades, where organisations who should have protected children and punished offenders looked the other way - and Baroness Casey found “blindness, ignorance, prejudice, defensiveness and even good but misdirected intentions” all played a part in this collective failure

But on the key issues of ethnicity that I had asked her to examine, she has found continued failure to gather proper robust national data, despite concerns being raised going back very many years. In the local data that the audit examined from 3 police forces they identify clear evidence of over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men. And she refers to “examples of organisations avoiding the topic altogether for fear of appearing racist or raising community tensions”.

Mr Speaker, these findings are deeply disturbing.

But most disturbing of all, as Baroness Casey makes clear, is the fact that too many of these findings are not new.

As her audit sets out, there have been 15 years of reports, reviews, inquiries and investigations into these appalling rapes, exploitation and violent crimes against children – detailed over 17 pages in her report – but too little has changed.

It seems to me that Islamophobia isn't the problem. The problem is looking away from the massive amount of evidence that Muslims have been getting a pass as they abuse the privilege of being in Great Britain. 

As I wrote the other day, Western governments are Islamizing their populations, whether out of fear of the radical Muslims they have imported, or for some other reason. 

The evidence has mounted that Islam, or at least the variety of Islam that has come with the people that Western governments have imported from places like Pakistan, Syria, Libya, or "Palestine," is incompatible with our values and well-being.

The hostility toward British culture that emanates from the British elite is mind-blowing. They are not just Euro-focused, which is bad enough, but are consciously tearing down Western civilization itself. 

I would ask, rhetorically, what is WRONG with these people, but I think we all know: they despise the plebs. 

As I wrote yesterday, when I criticized the former UK Defence Minister who characterized America as a dystopia, Brits should look to cleaning up their own house. 

In the 19th century, six million Irish people emigrated to the United States, fleeing a society that was collapsing from poverty and hunger. What do you want to bet that in the next decades, there will be an exodus from England, Wales, and Scotland as British people watch their society Islamize?

The elite in Britain have decided to give up and give in to the Islamic extremists. They are investing effort and money to suppress Britons who are upset at watching their society implode. 

I'm pretty sure that no amount of government money will paper over the cultural destruction that is being wrought.
