Today we remember the 52 people who were killed, the people who were injured and affected, the heroes who helped and those who lost loved ones because of the terrible events twenty one years ago on the 7th of July 2005 in London.

7 July 1930 | A Polish Jew, Menachem Chalemski, was born. He lived in Łódź.

In 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz from #Litzmannstadt Ghetto. He did not survive.

This gentleman - who publicly claimed to have published my home address online - is being funded by Lisa Nandy's department to deliver workshops in schools in the North West.

He recently completed a pilot in a primary school in Bolton.

Rebecca - formerly known as Martin - appears to have taken issue with my Telegraph reporting on Girlguiding's decision to restrict membership to girls.

He is part of the GATE activist group, which campaigns against the rule change preventing boys and men from taking part in the organisation.

Publicly claiming to have published a female journalist's home address - simply because she reported on a matter of public interest - is hardly the conduct most people would expect from someone working with schoolchildren.

Or indeed from someone presenting themselves as a role model for aspiring young journalists.

Yet this kind of behaviour too often escapes meaningful scrutiny.

To the London black cab driver who found me bloodied in the chaos of central London and drove me all the way to Reading: thank you.

Thank you for cleaning my face. For the sugary tea at the BP garage. For delivering me safely to my friend's front door and refusing to charge me a single penny.

In the trauma of that day, I never asked your name. I don’t think I even thanked you properly, and I am so sorry for that. But I hope you know that I remember you every single year.

You were a hero when London needed one most.

While the world's cameras are fixed on the five-day state funeral of Khamenei, the Islamic Republic is silently killing this 23-year-old girl with a slow death.

Raheleh Moeini, a biomedical engineering graduate of Amirkabir University, had traveled back to Iran from Italy to visit her family. On January 18th, in Saadatabad, Tehran, she was shot by security forces and at that very moment, bleeding and wounded, she was abducted and transferred to Qarchak Prison. Her family spent weeks not knowing where she was. Whether she was alive or dead.

Now Branch Tehran’s Revolutionary Court, has issued its verdict. One year for being on the street where they shot her. One and a half years for having a Twitter account. Two years banned from leaving the country. This regime first put a bullet in her, then put her on trial.

Be the voice of Raheleh Moeini.

In May of this year, at Southampton Crown Court, three teenage boys stood convicted between them of ten counts of rape. Their victims were girls of fourteen and fifteen. The judge, Nicholas Rowland, sent not one of those boys to prison. He handed them rehabilitation orders, told the court he wished to "avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily," and told the boys to their faces that "none of you need to go to prison today."

The case did not end there. The Attorney General referred the sentences to the Court of Appeal as unduly lenient, and this month the court did what Rowland would not: it raised the terms of the two main offenders to four years' detention. The Lady Chief Justice, Baroness Carr, said the court had been left no choice, and rebuked Rowland by name for underestimating the gravity of what the boys had done.

Look at everything that had to happen for a child rapist to see the inside of a cell. It took the Attorney General to intervene, the Court of Appeal to convene, and the most senior judge in England and Wales to state aloud that the rape of a fourteen-year-old is serious, all of this very much backed by an undercurrent of public rage. All that machinery, all that seniority, spent to reach a conclusion every parent in the country arrived at instantly and for nothing.

Nicholas Rowland is no stray. He is a fully formed product of a judicial culture that has taught itself to see the criminal, and above all the young criminal, as the party most deserving of the court's service; their tenderness, in this revolting incident. That line, "avoid criminalising these children," was no slip, but a doctrine, one taught, shared, and sincerely held, a worldview in which the boy who commits the rape is the child to be shielded, and the girl who suffers it is left out of the sentence altogether.

The Court of Appeal caught this one because the incipient fury, which grows by degrees with every passing month that the people of this country suffer, grew too loud to ignore. For every case that reaches such a fever pitch, dozens pass unremarked, sentenced by men who think exactly as Rowland thinks and are only quieter about it.

It's time we end this, without apology. Sexual violence against a child is among the gravest crimes a person can commit, and it will be sentenced as such: long custodial terms served in full, in austere conditions, with no automatic release to shave the years away once the cameras have gone. We must build the prison places to hold these men, because the answer to a full prison is a bigger prison, not an open door. And we will put the victim back at the centre of the courtroom, ahead of the comfort of the man in the dock.

You do not need a law degree to know that rapes should end in a prison sentence. The people who run our justice system have acquired, at great expense and across many years, the sophistication required to forget it. That gap, between what the public plainly knows and what the courtroom has trained itself not to see, is one of the deepest reasons this country feels ungoverned.

And closing it will take more than fury in Twitter replies.

[Dr Pam Gosal MBE @DrPamGosal]

John Swinney is doing everything he can not to implement what was so clearly set out in the @ForWomenScot Supreme Court ruling.

He now says he wants to consult on a ‘domestic approach’ when it comes to implementing the EHRC’s guidance.

He should know he cannot simply pick and choose which parts of the guidance he likes and does not like.

Instead of listening to radical trans activists he should start listening to women.

Why Will The Media Not Ask Andy Burnham About Operation Hexagon?
There is an operation Greater Manchester Police will not name. The press will not name it either. It has a name. Operation Hexagon.

A police operation was built to hunt the people who exposed the rape of children in Oldham. The man who held authority over it is walking towards Downing Street.

They Built An Operation To Hunt The Whistleblowers
Operation Hexagon was a joint enterprise between Greater Manchester Police, Oldham Council and Labour Party politicians. The grooming gangs were never its target. Neither were the men who shielded them. The machinery was aimed at the whistleblowers, and at the ordinary people who dared to ask how children came to be raped in Oldham.

Read that back slowly. A police force and a political party, working in concert, turned on the citizens who demanded accountability. The abusers were left untouched. The people exposing them were placed under the lens.

I can speak to Hexagon because Hexagon came for me.

Officers were sent to build cases against me that had no foundation. They repeatedly raided my house at dawn. The Crown Prosecution Service was turned into an instrument for manufacturing evidence to put me in the dock. Every charge collapsed. Every allegation was dismissed.

That is what an official police operation was made into. A machine for assembling false cases against a man whose only offence was refusing to look away while children were raped.

The Authority Ran Straight To Andy Burnham
Hexagon did not run in a vacuum. It ran under a chain of command, and that chain ends at Andy Burnham.

As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham holds the powers of the police and crime commissioner. He has held authority over Greater Manchester Police since 2017. Oldham is the epicentre of the scandal and the focus of Hexagon, and Oldham sits inside his remit. An operation of this kind, run in his force, in his region, against the critics of a cover up, does not happen beyond the reach of the man who commands the force.

He has never answered for it. He stood in election after election and said nothing. The silence of the man who held the authority is itself the answer.

They Buried The Whole Thing

You have not read about Operation Hexagon in your newspaper. That is by design.

Freedom of Information requests are refused with practised ease. The press that rushes to report every other case of police misconduct keeps its distance from this one. An operation confirmed to exist is reported as though it never happened. The blackout is the cover up that guards the cover up.

The Man Who Oversaw It Is Walking Into Downing Street
Here is why this matters now beyond anything it mattered before. Andy Burnham is on the road to Number Ten. The man who held authority over a police operation aimed at the whistleblowers of a child rape scandal is about to become the most powerful figure in the country.

Operation Hexagon should have finished his career. It has been allowed to sit as a footnote that no one in Westminster and no one in the press will read aloud.

Which is why it is left to us.

Imagine this, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom dragged kicking and screaming in front of a national inquiry into the cover up of the Pakistani Rape Gangs where he is forced to testify under oath and defend his own actions.

You don't have to imagine it. You just need to help me make it happen.

For 8 years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani grooming gangs. I, with the support of the people of Oldham, led the campaign that forced the National Inquiry. Now, with your help, we will force this inquiry to a place it does not want to go.

As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews of which one was in my hometown of Oldham. It was a cover-up of a cover-up. It tried to bury the truth. Don't believe me? Ask Maggie Oliver. Even she has come to the same conclusion.

Despite Burnham's efforts to help hide what took place, we forced a national inquiry. Whilst previously defending the robustness of his now exposed cover up, Burnham is now trying his best to rewrite the truth of what he really did.

Unfortunately, as of yet, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his actions and his deceit will go unchallenged. We hope to change this before the investigation starts in Oldham.

Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will try everything possible not to hold a PM accountable. Much of the press will look away, as always. This is why it is up to us to carry the truth.

Which is why I'm turning this community of readers into something more than what I can manage on my own. We need to grow and become an independent investigative outlet with:

- A professional website to reach larger audiences
- Video editing to make this work accessible to millions
- Research support so no lead goes cold
- In-person events to train people
- Resources to gather evidence and report from failed communities

Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers to help grow and become more than a one man operation. With your help, we can do in towns and cities across the country what we have done in Oldham.

Russia has spent $1 billion in the last few days attacking Kyiv. Not building roads, hospitals or fixing the failing economy - on murdering civilians. This is the priority of a nation totally obsessed with terrorism and nothing else.
