Rupert Lowe says Islam is "without doubt" the link to grooming gangs.

He is the MP for Great Yarmouth.

Meet Kevin Woodhouse.

71 years old. Filby, near Great Yarmouth.

Groomed a girl he believed was 14.
Sent her a picture of his genitals.
Turned up at a hotel on his seafront to meet her.

The court heard it was "sustained and persistent."

His defence said he was "blighted by the notion of rejection" since his wife left him.

"An elderly man making catastrophically poor decisions because of his loneliness."

12 months. Suspended.

Released. Walking free.

Not a migrant. Not a Muslim. Not a refugee.

His own constituency.

The institution that failed that child isn't Islam.

It's the court that let him walk free.

"Israel bombed all 36 hospitals in Gaza. 70,000 dead, 20,000 children."

"They bombed central Beirut without warning during the school run."

Is Labour hiding the UK’s role in a massacre that took place in India over forty years ago?

In 1984, the Indian army carried out a mass killing at the Sikh faith's holiest site in Amritsar. Decades later, our editor Phil Miller uncovered documents at the UK archives which showed a British SAS officer had given advice to India on how to carry out that raid.

The Sikh community has been calling for a full public inquiry for over ten years, something which Labour when in opposition repeatedly promised to give to the Sikh community.

But we are now two years into a Labour government and there's still no sign of an inquiry.

Will Restore Britain and Rupert Lowe do an unofficial inquiry on British nationals who rape and abuse children?

the front of every newspaper today is about the russian ship firing in the channel.

the news of israel directly interfering in our elections broke last week and hasn’t once been a front page story.

Can't believe we haven't scored yet. Stop the boats.

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

My heart goes out to every victim of rape. Every single one.

But when public figures only speak up depending on the identity of the perpetrator, it stops being about victims and starts being about a political agenda.

If you cannot condemn all rape equally, you do not get to claim you are doing it for girls.

🚨 Rupert Lowe's unofficial Rape Gang Inquiry Report claims: "It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture..."

This is NOT supported by reliable evidence.

The best evidence-based estimate for the total number of known or identified victims of abhorrent group-based/organised "grooming gang" child sexual exploitation (multiple perpetrators working together to groom, coerce, and sexually abuse children, often over extended periods) committed specifically by men of Pakistani heritage in the UK is likely in the range of 2,000–4,000 (even one case is obviously too many). This is a cumulative figure across decades (mainly 1990s–2020s), not an annual total.

This number is grounded in official inquiries, police investigations, and court outcomes rather than speculation or broad extrapolation.

The major documented cases cluster in a small number of towns/cities where Pakistani-heritage men were the main (or predominant) perpetrators. These are the ones with the clearest evidence linking ethnicity to organised group offending of this type.

Rotherham: The 2014 Jay Report (and later National Crime Agency updates) identified around 1,400–1,510 victims abused mostly by men of Pakistani heritage over ~16 years.

Telford: The 2022 independent inquiry concluded over 1,000 children were exploited over decades, with a *large proportion* of offenders being of Pakistani/South Asian heritage.

Other significant cases (Rochdale, Oldham, Huddersfield, Oxford, Newcastle, Bradford/Keighley, etc) add several hundred more identified victims each in high-profile convictions — typically 50–300 per major case/operation where Pakistani-heritage groups dominated.

Adding the core confirmed figures from these well-documented scandals gives a baseline in the low thousands.

National data shows group-based child sexual exploitation (any ethnicity) is a small subset of overall child sexual abuse in the UK (about 4% of the total).

Recent police data (eg, Complex and Organised Child Abuse Dataset) records only around 700 group-based offences per year across England/Wales — and this includes all ethnicities, all group models (not just "on-street grooming" by Pakistani men).

Even in areas with over-representation of Asian/Pakistani suspects (per 2025 Casey audit), most child sexual abuse/exploitation is by lone offenders or white perpetrators.

Overall child sexual exploitation (group or not) involves thousands of identified cases annually, but the specific organised "grooming gang" model by Pakistani-heritage men is concentrated in certain localities and time periods, not widespread nationwide.

Higher figures that sometimes circulate come from unreliable extrapolation: taking Rotherham's 1,400 and multiplying it unrealistically across every town/city without evidence those places had similar offending patterns or scale.

Official reviews (Home Office, IICSA, Casey audit, police analyses) repeatedly state there is no reliable national total for this specific subtype, and warn against such scaling because the model isn't uniform everywhere.

Many victims in these cases remain unidentified or unreported, so the true number is certainly higher than reported/conviction-linked figures. But evidence-based estimates stick to what inquiries, police operations, and courts have actually confirmed or strongly indicated, which caps the known/identified Pakistani-heritage organised group victims in the low thousands overall.

In short, the high-profile scandals account for the bulk of the documented cases fitting this exact description, and even generous summing of those (plus smaller cases) stays well below 5,000 identified victims. Broader claims lack supporting data from credible official sources.

Best estimates suggest roughly 3–7M unique children in the UK have experienced contact sexual abuse (physical contact, excluding non-contact/online) since the 1990s.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

You only see violence when it's white people being killed.

A young man in Makerfield speaks the truth.

[OldishBird @oldishbird1]

I have read Rupert Lowe’s grooming report. The testimony of survivors is harrowing and stands on its own merits. It’s bookended by the most far right biased and anti Muslim/anti migrant diatribe I’ve ever had the misfortune to read. The survivors deserve better than this.

If you’re making stupid comments about too many England players being ‘African,’ you’re not fit to be an England fan. They don’t need your support. This isn’t the 70s. Shut up.

[IslamophobiaUK @uk_islamophobia]

Rupert Lowe said Islam is the link between grooming gangs.

Between 1970 and 2015, the Catholic Church recorded over 3,000 instances of child sexual abuse by clergy. Abusers were moved between parishes to protect the Church's name.

No one called it a Christian problem.

Rupert Lowe has to step down.
