I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.

Rotherham. A small town in northern England.

For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.

Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.

The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.

For sixteen years, not one of them moved.

Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.

That is the moment something in you breaks.

And here is the part that makes it worse.

The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.

This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.

Then Elon Musk bought X.

The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.

But it did.

And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.

Towns the country had been told to forget.

Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.

X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.

That is worth saying out loud.

@wiltingklaas De gefrustreerde hondengeleider was er klaar mee, wilde ff laten zien dat hij het alfa-mannetje is en ging daarbij over de schreef. Meer smaakjes zijn er niet, Klaas.

@urubin Ik ken je niet, maar heel veel sterkte.

@DieTukkerfries Die kinderen hebben tenminste ouders met een ruggengraat, die zelf nadenken, opkomen voor hun rechten en die - in coronatijd - aan de juiste kant van de geschiedenis stonden. Dat is veel waardevoller dan meelopen en blind bevelen opvolgen, maar dat begrijp jij niet.

@BumblebeeJoe Goed bezig, respect! 💪🏻

@BumblebeeJoe Het is niet alleen intimideren en angst aanjagen. Misschien nog belangrijker: (vreedzame) demonstranten in een kwaad daglicht stellen en ze via de media framen als gewelddadig of beter nog als extreemrechts. Dit om hen te dehumaniseren en de publieke opinie te beïnvloeden.

@BumblebeeJoe 'It's easier to consider yourself a hero than to admit you're a fraud...' Ik kan dat kutlied Jerusalema sindsdien niet meer horen.
