Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world
@HistoryWJacob Also the structure of American football, as well as the raw athleticism, makes it more engaging to watch. It’s the ultimate male sport - women can’t play it, which I personally like 😉
Following the publication of our rape gang inquiry report, I plan to use every parliamentary tool available to push for the establishment of a specialised taskforce for the identification, location, safeguarding, and urgent repatriation of British women and girls who have been trafficked overseas by the rape gangs.
In so many of our investigations, we have found evidence of the gangs attempting to take the women overseas - mainly unsuccessfully, but not always.
There are British women who are currently trapped as sex slaves in Pakistan and elsewhere across the region.
We do not know how many, nor does the Government.
Hundreds, definitely. Thousands? Very likely.
It is impossible to describe how they must be living.
We have seen how the rapists treated women here in Britain, when there is at least some fear the authorities may act. In Pakistan? It makes me feel sick thinking about it.
Our report calls for enhanced consular support, intelligence-sharing on missing persons cases recorded in known grooming hotspots, targeted reviews of passports and travel records linked to known perpetrators, and diplomatic pressure on destination countries for victim extraction and evidence gathering.
I tabled a motion in Parliament attracting the support of 16 MPs. But we need far more.
The lack of attention on this is terrifying.
We have the evidence, it is happening.
We are calling on the Government to act.
