🇬🇧 THEY TOLD YOU A STORY. 🇬🇧

Colonisers. Slavers. Oppressors. And you were supposed to feel ashamed.

Not for what you done... But for WHO YOU ARE. 🇬🇧

So we tested it. Britain wrote everything down, so we opened the books. 📖

Turns out fewer than 1 man in 10 could vote in the year Britain banned the slave trade. No woman could. Your ancestors could hang for stealing a sheep, get shipped across the world for petty theft, or go down a mine at 8 years old. In Manchester, the average age of death in a labouring family was 17.

They weren't running the slave trade. They were underneath it too.

Which is what makes what happened next worth knowing.

In 1772 an enslaved man named James Somerset walked free from an English court, because English law couldn't hold a slave.

In 1791, 300,000 families just stopped buying slave sugar. No march, no riot, just a decision made at 300,000 kitchen tables.

In 1792, 519 petitions carrying 390,000 names hit Parliament, most signed by people who couldn't vote themselves.

In 1807, Britain banned the trade.

Then the slave owners sent Britain a bill for the 800,000 people they still held. 💷 £20 million. About 40% of the entire government budget at the time.

The Treasury says it wasn't paid off until 2015. So if your family paid British tax before then, they helped buy 800,000 people their freedom.

From 1808 the Royal Navy spent 60 years hunting slave ships at sea: 1,600 stopped, 150,000 people freed, and 1,600 British sailors dead, mostly of disease, buried thousands of miles from home. ⚓

In 1816 they ended two centuries of Barbary corsairs enslaving Europeans.

In 1896 a war that lasted 38 minutes ended slavery in Zanzibar. 🇹🇿

Almost every country on Earth outlaws slavery today.

That fight was paid for largely at British expense, by British hands.🇬🇧

So why haven't you heard any of this?

Because within living memory, someone rewrote the story. You got taught the crime. Not the cure.

The powerful exploited the world. They exploited their own people first. It was those people who ended slavery. 🇬🇧

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

History got rewritten once, in living memory, by no one who was ever named or held to account.

We are ordinary people doing what ordinary people have always done. Opening the books. Refusing to look away.

This is how we fight back. Fact by fact. Story by story. Name by name.

We are the home of British heroes. There is a place for you in it.

If you can afford to support what we do: https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf

Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

I don’t care what your race is, what your profession is or who you are, if you believe theres no such thing as the “rape gangs / grooming gangs” then I think you are somehow involved. End of story.

@EOpuminji @ImtiazMadmood Seeing as the Pakistani rape gangs were deliberately covered up for decades and the data on all this, especially perpetrator ethnicity, is woefully incomplete, I'd be interested to know where you get that idea from.

[Cameron Riddle @CameronRiddle1]

@Nito_Onna_Helen @tnance007 @JohnCleese Do you know what a cover-up is?

[Cameron Riddle @CameronRiddle1]

@MrDavX A. Yes.

[Dr Gila @gilarutrina]

Thank you. I have only scanned it briefly so far but would like to put a few quotes here:

"The Rape Gang Inquiry was necessary because the state and its institutions have failed catastrophically over decades. Police, social services, schools, the NHS, licensing authorities, and governments allowed these gangs to operate with impunity. There was a demonstrable lack of political will to confront them." p5

"The Rape Gang Inquiry examined the systematic targeting of vulnerable girls, overwhelmingly White British, by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs across towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom." p8

"Perpetrators from Pakistani Muslim and other Muslim backgrounds operated under an honour- and shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially white working class girls, as property available for sexual use. This pattern was reinforced by eight theological and legal aspects of Islam. These include the doctrine of Muslim superiority drawn from Quranic verses that position Muslims at the top with a duty to correct non-believers. The gang members’ justification for their crimes can be found in the Islamic principles of loyalty and disavowal known as al-walā' wa-l-barā'. It demands enmity towards non-Muslims, the superiority of men over women, forced marriage combined with the absence of any fixed minimum age of consent, the perception of female sexuality as inherently dangerous, a system of sex slavery that authorises sexual relations with non-Muslim captives, and a religiously sanctioned social hierarchy that subjugates conquered non-Muslims. These elements, filtered through clannish immigrant sub-cultures, provided religious justification that enabled the systematic rape and even slaughter of White British girls." p8

"Political failure lies at the heart of the scandal. Successive governments lacked the will to confront the ethnic and religious patterns. The Labour Party bears particular responsibility." p9

"The perpetrators operated with impunity because the state enabled them." p10

"Rape gangs have exploited children systematically across every region of the United Kingdom for decades." p11

"The authorities at every level – including the police, social services, health services, schools, licensing bodies, and politicians – knew the patterns, possessed the intelligence, and still failed to protect the country’s children. The evidence establishes that a national scandal of repeated rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma enabled by institutional denial, political calculation, and fear of the accusation of racism took place over decades. " p11-12

@Ugo_alves @KonstantinKisin I loved Intellectuals and Society and Intellectuals and Race, in particular. There are also collections of his essays that might be a good place to start.

What I want to see is senior public servants including Chief Constables, council leaders and even Home Secretaries held criminally to account…. And that’s what I’ve always said! I contributed to this story in the @Daily_Express saying the same as I’ve always said.

I am non party political, and have seen successive governments both Labour and Conservative fail miserably because they hz f t wanted to tackle this head in!

But I will help any political party who truly want this outcome, which is what every victim and survivor I know is demanding too! The problem has always been though action does t follow the empty promises, and that’s why we are still where we are today!

In the background our legal team at Action for Accountability Ltd #Theyknew is working ferociously towards this aim. But this is a marathon not a sprint! Another “David v Goliath” fight, but one we are determined to fight to the very best of our ability….

Further updates to come.

Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs didn’t only see working class white girls as vulnerable.

To Islamists, white girls are subhuman.

And those same little girls were branded “white slags” by the local authorities dismissed them.

“Paki shaggers” by the politicians who turned a blind eye while cosying up to Pakistani-Muslim predators for the sake of ‘community cohesion’.

“Child prostitutes” by the police officers who arrested them mid-rape then handed them back to their rapists.

It’s not just that they were white.
It’s BECAUSE they were white.

I grew up in Telford. I was abused in Telford, had my abuse ‘investigated’ under Operation Chalice in Telford, and grew up with the “cautionary tales” of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs in Telford.

I know the failures firsthand. The same powerful people and organisations that turned a blind eye to my abuse are now orchestrating the greatest cover-up in British history through this so-called “National Grooming Gangs Inquiry.”

Let us be clear:
This was not random child abuse.

It was racially motivated sexual terrorism, deliberately targeting girls outside their own community because they saw them as infidels, as unworthy of protection or respect.

In their eyes, shaped by a rigid interpretation of Islam and cultural attitudes within the Pakistani Orthodox, white girls were outsiders, devoid of the honour and purity afforded to their own.

“Kuffar” means unbeliever.

And, in this toxic mix of culture and faith, it justified everything: the grooming, the rape, the trafficking. They would quote twisted religious justifications, claiming non-Muslims deserved no mercy, no humanity. A perversion, thriving in communities where patriarchal honour codes protected their own daughters while marking outsiders as prey.

White, British, and poor: the perfect storm for exploitation in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford.

Pakistani-Muslim men knew the system would shield them.

Why? Because for decades, Labour councils, police forces, and social services buried their heads in the sand. They feared being called “racist” more than they feared for those girls’ lives.

I saw how “cultural sensitivity” became a shield for inaction. Social workers were trained to overlook the taxis circling schools, the men handing out booze to white kids, and the flats full of middle-aged Muslim men welcoming in little girls at all hours of the day. Political correctness trumped child protection, and cultivating “community cohesion” meant leaving little white girls at the mercy of their abusers.

We grew up knowing which neighbourhoods in Wellington to avoid, which takeaways were run by pedos, and which taxi companies employed most of the predators. It was an open secret. A ‘hazard’ of being a girl growing up in a town where child sexual exploitation was the norm.

The gangs enforced a cultural double standard: protect your own daughters, but exploit the infidels’. And local authorities fell in line.

I will never forget being asked by a detective from the CSE team whether I had “consented” to sexual activity.

My abuse started at age 5.
So, the implication was clear.

Those familiar attitudes which Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs so often faced were echoing loud and clear:

Non-Muslim victims were lesser, asking for it, or simply deviant.

It was up to us to protect ourselves, because everyone also grew up knowing that the people in charge wouldn’t lift a finger.

Labour politicians.
Labour-led councils.
Labour localities.

They traded girls for votes.
And they are still doing it.

We are witnessing the greatest cover-up in British history.

It is a whitewash, plain and simple.

[Cameron Riddle @CameronRiddle1]

@Mongrelbite @VictoriaHa50399 @RupertLowe10 It's totally believable.
