The “biggest scandal in British history” has been blown wide open this week as an independent inquiry into the grooming gang epidemic heard harrowing testimonies.
Rupert Lowe, Independent MP for Great Yarmouth, launched the proceedings on Monday after raising more than £600,000 from 20,000 members of the public.
The inquiry, which runs for two weeks, aims to do what victims say the official state-led inquiry has “bottled”: exposing the demographic and religious realities of the gangs.
In a week of stomach-turning revelations, rape gang survivor Fiona Goddard told the inquiry that the gangs she was subjected to were heavily comprised of second-generation Pakistani men and illegal immigrants brought along to join the abuse.
Ms Goddard provided shocking testimony regarding the cultural motivations of the attackers, claiming that some Pakistani men celebrated the Islamic festival of Eid by “raping young white girls.”
The inquiry heard that some victims were raped by more than 600 men, the vast majority of whom were described as being of Pakistani origin.
Speaking on GB News, Marilyn Horne, CEO of Freedom from Abuse, slammed Sir Keir Starmer’s Government, calling the Labour frontbench “professional liars” who have no intention of exposing the “Pakistani and asylum seeker element” of the crisis.
Speaking to Patrick Christys this evening, she said: “I’ve been saying for 20 years it is Pakistani and Bangladeshi men. I’ve been called racist; I’ve been called all sorts of things.

“I don’t care because I know I’m right. They are not interested in protecting our women, girls, and boys because they quite like [these groups] in this country.”
She warned that the horror is “endemic” and continues to this day, claiming she received reports only today of Kurdish men in North Shields exploiting girls while police “jog on” and ignore the evidence.
She added: “Some of these girls have been taken from pillar to post, raped in lay bys, on filthy mattresses, in hotels, you know, backs of taxis.
“I mean, I only today I heard from a taxi driver who said that he knows of a girl that was beaten up by four Kurdish men in a car swerving down the road.

“And police officers stopped the car and said, jog on, get out of here. Never asked the girl what was going on.
“That is, today as I speak, I have reported it and that’s just one incident. This is across the country. It is endemic. It’s everywhere.
“And your wonderful, wonderful Charlie Peters has done a great job as of you, Patrick. Outside of GB News, it is outrageous.
“It’s appalling. It’s barbaric. It’s monsters. These are not animals. They’re monstrous, barbaric, evil, vile men.
“And they have got no moral compass. None. And it outrages me that no one is protecting our girls, women and boys.”
A Home Office spokesperson has told GB News: “The abuse of children by grooming gangs is one of the most horrific crimes imaginable.
“We will do everything in our power to ensure that these crimes never happen again.”
