Listen to @Gareth_Roberts_ here, a man that is silent and ignorant to survivors of sexual child abuse.
His entire council knows what happened yet they do nothing for survivors.
@bphillipsonMP@SteveReedMP what are you doing about this.
This is Vinay Kanani @VinayKanani2
He teaches safeguarding to children at schools, care homes and nurseries.
Today, he was caught by paedophile hunters after he arranged to meet a 14 year old girl at a hotel to abuse her. The police arrived and arrested him.
Absolutely fucking disgusting state of politics… no shame. no integrity. Sorry you had to go through the horrors in their care as you grew up Keith, and more so that they remain complicit in their silence as you reach out for acknowledgment of abuse. Maybe a tv series incoming?
🚨 RICHMOND COUNCIL: YOUR SILENCE IS NOW OFFICIAL INSTITUTIONAL BETRAYAL 🚨
I am Keith Hinchliffe (@hinchliffe1569) — Grafton Close survivor.
On 22 March 2026 I sent you a formal legal challenge that demolished your Poole/Bolam defences and put you on notice for the tort of deceit.
You ignored it.
I chased you again.
You ignored that too.
I sent you yet another formal chase — deadline for a substantive reply was close of business 10 April 2026. That deadline has now passed in total silence.
No acknowledgment.
No reply.
No basic courtesy.
This is not “admin delay”.
This is disgraceful, taxpayer-funded contempt for a survivor who was abused in the children’s home you ran.
Your continued stonewalling after 40+ years of failure, cover-up and broken lives is unacceptable.
@LBRUT@Gareth_Roberts_@andree_frieze@sarahjolney1@munirawilson@brownejacobson
To every single one of the 54 councillors and both local MPs — your silence makes you complicit.
You are spending public money to fight survivors instead of doing the right thing.
You now have 7 days to give a full substantive response on liability or I will escalate by every means available.
The public is watching.
Survivors are not going away.
The May elections are coming.
RT this. Tag your councillor. Tag your MP.
Demand they break the silence. Demand answers. Demand justice.

🚨 **DISGRACE: GARETH ROBERTS IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BETRAYING SEXUAL ABUSE SURVIVORS** 🚨 @Gareth_Roberts_ You are Leader of Richmond upon Thames Council **AND** CURRENT CHAIR of the South London Partnership (SLP) – where you hold real power and influence across the region. You have been **FULLY BRIEFED** on the sexual abuse suffered by survivors in Richmond Council care. Your response? **DEAD SILENCE.** **ZERO ACTION.** **NOTHING.** No support. No justice. Just solicitors shielding the council’s reputation while survivors are abandoned. This is not leadership – this is a **cowardly, disgraceful betrayal**. You bear **FULL RESPONSIBILITY** for failing these survivors through your complete inaction and silence. **GARETH ROBERTS – RESIGN IMMEDIATELY** as Council Leader **and** as Chair of the SLP. You have no right to hold office while you put the institution above the victims you were supposed to protect. Survivors deserve better than your gutless silence. RT & SHARE if you demand accountability! #GarethRobertsResign #RichmondAbuseScandal #SLP #JusticeForSurvivors #EndTheCoverUp
