Kemi Badenoch blames ‘peasants’ from ‘sub-communities’ for grooming gangs abuse
Hindustan TimesKemi Badenoch has blamed “peasants” from “sub-communities” within foreign countries for the grooming gangs crisis. The Conservative also told GB News hearing victims’ accounts were “quite shocking” as she reaffirmed calls for a national inquiry into the scandal. “The survivors who deserve justice by making sure that every single perpetrator we can find is caught and brought to justice, and those who failed in their duty to protect their children are held to account and exposed.” Mrs Badenoch’s comments came amid calls from Labour MP for Rotherham calling for a national inquiry into grooming gangs. “It is clear that the public distrusts governments and authorities when it comes to preventing and prosecuting child abuse, especially child sexual exploitation.” She set out a five-point plan of recommendations including a national inquiry and a “national audit” to see if grooming gangs are still operating or cases have been missed. Pressure has mounted on the Prime Minister to launch an inquiry specifically into grooming gangs since billionaire Elon Musk posted a slew of attacks on him over the issue at the start of the year.
