Conspiracy of silence over race doomed thousands of girls to abuse
The Daily Mail says a “conspiracy of silence over race doomed thousands of girls to abuse”. It reports that public bodies “covered up” evidence “for fear of appearing racist”. The conclusions sparked a dramatic volte-face from the PM over the weekend. He previously suggested those calling for a national probe into the rape and sexual abuse of thousands of girls by gangs of mainly Pakistani-heritage men were ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ of the ‘far-Right’.
