The person who attacked my daughter, spat on my wife, and broke the restaurant's front door was not arrested by @metpoliceuk. Why?
I was arrested again for defending my family 😂
This was the SUV they came in.

@bryan_johnson @grok is this correct?

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Today, a number of prominent journalists criticised my suggestion that the UK media class has failed to sufficiently cover the rape gangs scandal, which will go down as one of the biggest scandals in our history

So, I decided to take a closer look at the data.

Trust me, you'll want to read until the end

First, the boring bit. How did I do it?

I used something called Lexis, a database researchers use to search content across UK newspapers

Every good researcher out there knows how to use it so they can duplicate my work and check

One of my critics today said my use of "grooming gangs" in my initial numbers was misleading because much of the coverage in UK newspapers uses "grooming gang" not "gangS".

OK then, let's use that

And let's just look at articles that are specifically about this scandal and don't just mention it in passing

What did I find?

Let's look at the years 2011-2025 because before that, even though the rape gangs scandal goes back decades, there was NOTHING in UK media.

Nothing.

They didn't touch it AT ALL --despite widespread rumours pushed by groups like the BNP and EDL

2011 is a crucial year because it's when renegade and HERO Andrew Norfolk, at The Times, started to write the first early pieces, despite abuse & harassment

First, let's look at ALL UK newspapers

In 2011-2025 there were 4,659 articles specifically focused on the "grooming gang" phenomenon

Wow

Sounds a lot right?

Remember the number.

"Grooming gang" = 4,659

But now let's compare that with how much coverage the media class gave to other scandals and terms

"white privilege" = 6,146

"anti-Muslim" = 17,152

"post office" and "horizon" =20,274

"extreme right" = 21,252

"Islamophobia" = 23,461

"Greta Thunberg" = 22,717

"expenses scandal" =25,585

"Stephen Lawrence" = 29,808

"anti-racism" = 34,484

"Windrush" = 35,515

"George Floyd" = 38,824

"Black Lives Matter" = 59,338

"Grenfell" = 71,422

"Britain" and "racism" = 75,693

"Net Zero" = 141,367

"far right" = 231,540

"racism" = 382,069

I could go on.

I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Relative to other scandals and amid a strong liberal bias in parts of the media class, the mass rape of young, working-class white girls & women just wasn't a priority

Yes, there were newspapers that broke the story and pushed it, like the Times in 2011

But even there, the 440 articles built around "grooming gang" between 2011-2025 is dwarfed by, say, the 2,868 on "Islamophobia", the 3,202 on Stephen Lawrence, the 2,603 on George Floyd, or the 5,524 on BLM

My point is not to bash individual newspapers but to say that relative to other race-related stories and debates, the rape gangs scandal --ARGUABLY THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN OUR HISTORY-- has received very little coverage from the media class

I'd give you the numbers for liberal progressive papers like The Guardian/Observer but frankly they're absurd

Oh ok then

Between 2011 and 2025 the Guardian had 113 articles on the grooming gang phenomenon compared to 3,325 for "Islamophobia"

What about the BBC?

We can look at BBC News 24 and BBC Radio 4

There were 357 specific mentions of the "grooming gang" scandal in BBC News/Radio 4 transcripts

Meanwhile, there were 7,537 for "George Floyd", 3,219 for "Stephen Lawrence", 7,416 for "Black Lives Matter", and 2,259 for "Islamophobia"

You get the picture. I won't keep going

But what I will say is this.

These girls were never a priority in Media Land

Relative to other scandals they were at first ignored and then downplayed

Too many of the middle-class, Oxbridge-educated, socially liberal if not radically woke progressive elites who control the parameters of what they think is our national "debate" routinely steer clear of scandals and issues that violate tightly-controlled taboos around immigration, multiculturalism, "diversity" in all its forms, and which are backed up with alarmist narratives about the "far right" and "Islamophobia" to warn others off from asking difficult questions or challenging the elite consensus in Westminster and London

This HAS to change

As I wrote in my Substack this morning, @elonmusk has done Britain a favour by forcing us to reckon with a truly NATIONAL scandal that has for too long been ignored and pushed to the side by political, media, and cultural elites in wider society

This past week, we have been pushed into a new era in which millions of people up and down this country are either learning about the rape gangs crisis for the first time or hearing shocking new details they did not know before and can scarcely believe

And millions of people are now asking some enormous questions. How did our country let this happen to our children? Why was it overlooked? Why did so many people stay silent? Is it still happening today? What can we do to stop it? Who is pursuing the truth in media? Who is naming and shaming? And why does the UK media class fall over itself when a single American man dies in Minneapolis while seemingly not giving a shit about the thousands of CHILDREN who have been abused, raped and harassed here in Britain?

The people have tuned into this scandal, in other words. They have taken notice and they are watching. The only question now is whether the media class has bothered to notice and will actually get on top of this scandal and push it to front of the agenda or continue to ask ridiculous questions like it did for much of today, deflecting from its glaring failures to instead obsess about Elon Musk.

Find the truth and tell us the truth.

That's your job.

When the president of MIT
Sally Kornbluth, president of UPENN Elizabeth Magill, and Harvard President Claudine Gay were asked whether calling for the murder of Jews is considered a violation of the university's code of conduct or an act of harassment, all three responded that it depends on the context.

Despite U.S. rep @RepStefanik giving them multiple opportunities to clarify and be unequivocal, they did not agree.

They stated all that calling for the murder of Jews is a violation of the ethical code only under certain conditions that were not explicitly detailed.

Anti-Semitic violence has spread across American universities. The leading higher education institutions that drive global innovation are in practice nothing more than nests of terror and hatred.

One cannot wonder what would be their stance if the question was about Afro-Americans or any other minority.

Horrific reports of Hamas summary executions of two Palestinians in the West Bank. Has anyone seen condemnations from the UN agencies and human rights industry that have been complicit with Hamas this war?

🚨🚨BREAKING: ISRAEL FINDS HAMAS HEADQUARTERS AND WEAPONS IN GAZA HOSPITAL

Sheitat 13 and Brigade 401 raided the A-Rentisi hospital and found a lamp, Hamas headquarters, explosive belts, money, RPGs, computers and weapons.

The IDF spokesman claims that there is verification that Israeli abductees were in the A-Rentisi hospital.

Some of the photos provided (in comments) are allegedly BENEATH the hospital in the Hamas tunnels.

Good video explaining why other Arab nations are unwilling to take in hundreds of thousands of refugees from Gaza.

Lebanon, Jordan and Kuwait all have terrible experiences with Palestinian refugees. This video explains it.

The rumors we heard were true. The plan for Twitter was to destroy the left leaning version of the app.

Texts by an unknown sender outlined a playbook for the takeover and transformation of Twitter with a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform:

Step 1: Blame the platform for its users
Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign
Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks
Step 4: Deplatforming

It even pointed to blaming the ADL.

Generative AI for academics: What considerations should we take into account when applying artificial intelligence tools in research/teaching?

A. Challenges

B. Suggestions

C. Guiding principles

A. Challenges Posed by Generative AI for Scholarly Work

1. Institutionalizing bias - Generative AI relies on training data and encoded rules that reflect human biases, resulting in further reification of social problems or flawed conclusions.

2. Hallucinations - Generative AI fabricates false or misleading responses to prompts from scholars.

3. Interpretability - Generative AI offers suggestions with scant explanation for why an output was created, creating issues related to credible inference and interpretation.

4. Inappropriate Training Data - Generative AI offers inappropriate guidance because it has not been trained on data information relevant to a research topic or method.

5. Misapplication - Generative AI is used to complete peer reviews, lead literature searches, or write key elements of papers without appropriate supervision.

6. Unreasonable expectations - Scholars may expect access to generative AI to result in unreasonably sophisticated understanding of literature or expert applications of state-of-the-art research methods.

B. Suggestions for Mitigating Problems Posed by Generative AI

1. Independent Knowledge - When studying a topic or using a method, a scholar must develop a baseline of knowledge and experience necessary to prompt as well as assess the outputs of generative AI.

2. Critical Thinking - When reviewing the output of generative AI, scholars should consider:

(a) the face validity - are the outputs consistent with the scholar's understanding of the literature?

(b) falsifiability - is it possible to critically examine and invalidate the outputs through logic or evidence? This ensures human guidance of AI application.

3. Awareness of Implications - Scholars should actively question biases and implications of generative AI outputs for people and organizations.

4. Understanding Provenance - Scholars must understand the data used to train generative AI tools.

5. Ethical Conduct - Scholars should use generative AI cautiously and responsibly, in line with current professional norms.

C. Guiding Principles for Applying Generative AI in Scholarly Work

1. Human Primacy - Scholars retain decision rights over key elements of research.

2. Responsible Reporting - Scholars should faithfully report:

(1) which generative AI was used,

(2) the training data (if known), and

(3) how the tool supported inquiry.
