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.
