I don’t think that would be an accurate summary of a situation in which children were groomed and raped, nor one in which the police eventually did their job, to be honest.
Regardless of the right wing weaponisation, going the complete opposite way on everything they’re saying about it is a serious mistake.
Well true it was an offhand sarcastic comment. And I know near nothing about the case besides the headlines. And I’m not saying this sort of corruption is widespread in the UK.
But the wiki page about the grooming gangs scandal notes “Several government reviews have reported failures by British institutions in preventing, identifying and prosecuting the widespread cases”. And a later “Casey report concluded that the council was “not fit for purpose” and had a culture of bullying, sexism, covering up information and silencing whistleblowers”.
Which is exactly what I’d guess why a grooming gang can operate without being investigated for so long. I didn’t go by “every accusation is a confession” which is also often true.
So the real perpetrators of injustice were the misogynist cops we found along the way.
