This is Bullshit! All done by The Tories to make the Labour government look bad. There was an inquiry into Grooming Gangs already. It took 7 years and cost the Tax Payer 200 Million pounds. The Judge Responsible for reviewing the findings of the inquiry recommended 20 and specific laws that should be implemented as soon as possible. MP's were in The House about to sign those recommendations into Law and they were vetoed by the leader of the Conservatives. She got up in parliament and started manufacturing false concern that "the inquiry did not go far enough." Why is Keir Starmer refusing to answer the demands of the Public? All to obstruct the desperately needed social progress, because that would make their opposition look good.

Starmer, who was one of the main judiciary responsible for breaking the case of the grooming gangs and responsible for the prosecutions of the men involved, shot her down immediately. Then the Papers and the rage-bait articles all went with the headlines "Keir Starmer doesn't care about grooming gangs, refuses demand for deeper inquiry" This is why the British Public need to wake up to the fact that Rupert Murdoch owns you. Look how they brutally character assassinated Jeremy Corbyn. Look at the way the right wing obstruct changes that would protect and ease deep seated unrest in the country. Jimmy The Giant has a great video that brings it up in detail.
