Peter Whittle Challenges Commissioner Cressida Dick on Grooming Gangs

London Assembly Member (and Member of its Police & Crime Committee) Peter Whittle challenges Commissioner (of the Metropolitan Police Service in London) Cressida Dick on Muslim grooming gangs active in London. Commissioner Dick is carefully avoiding the real issue of racist Muslim gangs targeting vulnerable white girls. Quilliam (an anti-extremist think tank) released a report in December, 2017 that puts the participation of South Asian men (the majority of these offenders are of Pakistani origin with Muslim heritage) at 84% of the grooming gangs, while they only make up 7% of total UK population. This is a cultural issue that needs addressing, skirting around it betrays the girls abused and also the decent majority of people from that background who are not involved and then suffer from suspicion because of the failure to address the issue.

Commissioner Dick states without presenting any supporting proof: “I don’t think this is a sort of phenomena [child grooming] invented in the last few years. […] It has been part of our society for probably centuries and centuries and centuries.”
