We are republishing all our articles since The Conservative Woman
began in 2014 on the Pakistani rape gangs, the failure of successive administrations to root them out, right the wrongs of the victims, or to face up to their own discriminatory multicultural and racism policies that provided such fertile ground for this criminality. The articles are appearing in chronological order, providing a daily reminder to those in power that nothing less than a statutory public inquiry, including a remit to investigate a near 25-year cover-up and collusion between national and local government, is a sufficient response to the shocking betrayal of thousands of young white girls. Today’s article was first published on December 12, 2024, under the heading ‘Why report the mass rape of white schoolgirls when you can pick on Gregg Wallace?’
WELL done to the insurgent group led by Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, a former al-Qaeda commander, who not only ended Bashar al-Assad’s 24-year rule over Syria but also finally removed Gregg Wallace from the front pages. Although I suspect Wallace is still generating quite a few think/opinion pieces.
If you hadn’t heard of Gregg Wallace before, a greengrocer made good and a judge on the BBC’s MasterChef, you certainly will have after last week. It was revealed by our media and ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ that Wallace was allegedly a bit of a sex pest on the set. Now, I have no time for such behaviour, I am not defending it and social conservatives have no business defending it either. This is stating the obvious, which I did here.
So, one more time; women deserve to be treated with decency, respect and professionalism at work (or indeed at home). Having stated this obvious fact it is now time to state another obvious fact, namely that the media coverage about this minor workplace issue has been totally and utterly disproportionate to the wrong committed. That a story which in most workplaces would be dealt with by the ladies in Human Resources should generate the headlines it did, and in particular the ‘think pieces’, tells us once again a universal truth about Britain: some victims count, and some victims don’t.
And what is glaringly obvious here is that if you are a middle-class woman of a certain age working in the media you count; if you are a white working-class teenage girl in Rotherham or Oxford you do not. You are seen as trash by the police and sacrificial victims on the altar of Diversity is our Strength by the political establishment. Therefore should you have your entire childhood stolen and your adulthood ruined because you are brutally and repeatedly raped and dehumanised by gangs of Asian/Muslim men, so be it.
If you are a middle-class media woman of a certain age and you are sexually harassed on the set of MasterChef, it is literally, quite literally, hold the front page. Polly Vernon was given two entire pages to tell us all how she was harassed over the years at work (the stealth boast). I don’t remember a single girl of the thousands who were brutalised in English towns being given this much space to tell us their stories.
And don’t bother dismissing this as ‘what-aboutery’. What about, what aboutery? What-aboutery – very much like the lectern issue I talked about before – tells you all you need to know about the media’s priorities. Not every story can make the front page or even page 10. The stories that do make the paper and the broadcast media are seen by our media to be more important than those that don’t. I am not being conspiratorial; I have no time for such nonsense. It is a straightforward matter of priorities. We all have priorities. My children are my priority, my neighbour’s children, although very nice, are not. Middle-class media women are a priority; raped and abused working-class girls are not. It’s that simple.
The other reason Gregg Wallace dominated the front pages is because he is the perfect villain: a white working-class geezer done good. So the media will go after him. But if you are an Asian man who treats white working-class girls as trash, something to be raped, passed around to other Asian men, urinated on and kept in a cage, you are rarely exposed as the child rapist and child trafficker that you are. This would jeopardise the sacred mantra of Diversity is our Strength. So it gets buried for decades until it becomes so obvious that someone somewhere has to say stop.
TCW has spoken about the Rotherham scandal before. I did so here and here and here.
Indeed, even when cases came to trial, the abuse of these girls continued: ‘When cases did eventually reach court, GMP left the young victims to be harassed and intimidated by the men who had previously abused them, sometimes at gunpoint.’ Also, police took no action in the case of a 15-year-old who gave birth to a child of her ‘pimp’.
Amazingly I don’t remember many headlines about raped girls being threatened at gunpoint by their abusers when their criminal cases eventually came to court. I am sure there is some white working-class man doing something inappropriate at work somewhere which deserves much more attention. Another example of the abuse that went on was: ‘One child told GMP that her abusers kept girls in cages and “made them bark like a dog or dress like a baby” but took no action once she left Greater Manchester and was put in care elsewhere.’ Lovely.
The latest case that involved the brutal abuse of white girls by mostly Asian men came during the American Presidential election, so some lack of coverage was to be expected, but I don’t recall any serious coverage at all. Like so many other cases, it sank like a stone.
A West Yorkshire Police press release said: ‘Two men have been convicted and jailed for sexually abusing young girls in Calderdale, bringing the total to 22. Legal restrictions and appeals against convictions meant we were unable to share the outcomes until today. The convictions follow an investigation launched in 2016 following reports of repeated sexual abuse of a vulnerable young girl between 2002 and 2006, starting when she was 13 years old.’ Two days earlier a press statement said: ‘Twenty men have been jailed for more than 219 years combined after being found guilty of raping and abusing young girls. Through a series of individual investigations and trials, the men were found to have sexually abused and exploited four girls between the ages of 12 and 16 in Calderdale.’
I put ‘Calderdale’ into the Times search engine, and found that they reported the case here.
In fairness to the Times, they have been better at covering this scandal than others but if you put ‘Gregg Wallace’ into their search engine those results go on for pages and pages. It’s ridiculous.
The Times said juries had heard details of ‘absolutely shocking offending’, in which victims were treated as ‘defenceless commodities to be abused and traded at whim’. Detective Chief Inspector Oliver Coates of West Yorkshire police said the men had committed ‘appalling sexual abuse on a scale which can barely be believed’.
We should ask ourselves why this abuse could barely be believed. Because the media and some police officers (not necessarily this one) turned a blind eye to such abuse for decades. Nothing was permitted to challenge the sacred belief that Diversity is our Strength or Immigration Built Britain. That’s why you hardly ever get a mugshot of Malik Quadeer, 67, who was found guilty of five counts of rape and jailed for 22 years, or Shahzad Nowaz, 45, who was found guilty of rape and making threats to kill and sentenced to 11 years, on the front page. It is much easier to slap Gregg Wallace on there for making ‘inappropriate comments’.
There we have it: some issues deserve the lectern treatment (Far Right Thuggery), and some issues don’t (rape of thousands of girls in towns mainly in the north of England). Some victims count (middle-class women of a certain age who work in the media), and some victims don’t (white working-class girls in Rotherham).
The disgustingly disproportionate media focus on the alleged wrongdoing of Gregg Wallace, compared with the confirmed and brutal criminality of, say, Shahzad Nowaz of Halifax, tells us yet again how the mainstream media operate, namely in a ruthless and immoral fashion always designed to protect the Big Lie, that there are no downsides to mass immigration. The girls of Rotherham and Oxford would beg to differ.
