00:53:23.840how do you know if a country is the same?
00:53:25.660It's a bit like looking at a photograph of yourself
00:53:27.740when you're five and seeing vague recognition of the same traits, even though you've changed,
00:53:32.480which implies that you need to be the same people to be the same country. But nevertheless,
00:53:36.780she's English. She also said that Islam is the most important thing in her life and is the
00:53:41.160driving reason for why she's called the public service in the first place. Yes. Which therefore
00:53:47.660makes it a bit problematic when you're promising as a Home Secretary in the terms of reference for
00:53:52.440national inquiry if we just go down to it's available on the html here if we go down to
00:53:59.0004.3 the purpose and the objectives of the inquiry is the inquiry must examine the factors that
00:54:06.080allowed or caused exploitation and abuse to happen and go unaddressed at a local level including the
00:54:11.700role of ethnicity religion and culture of the perpetrators and victims so they're not really
00:54:17.880going to do that? They're promising to. They're promising to investigate that. If they actually
00:54:23.780did that, I mean, it would just blow the lid off their entire narrative. Yes. And the problem that
00:54:29.760they have is with the people involved and the timescale, which indicates they have no intention
00:54:34.880of doing so. Because if you go to number five here and they say the scope, and you go down to 5.5,
00:54:39.680the inquiry must examine issues arising pertaining to the grieving gangs between the 1st of January
00:54:45.4001996 and the 31st of March, 2029. So what's the problem with this is a fewfold, as Shabana Mahmood
00:54:55.260laid out in her statement before Parliament. The problem is, number one, as it says 2029,
00:55:01.160this isn't going to happen till after the election. How convenient for Labour. So they're
00:55:07.020throwing 65 million quid at this to indefinitely defer it until after the general election.
00:55:13.020Ah, yes. Also, 1996 is not when this started. Because as we'll go through later, we have copious amounts of evidence that these gangs were known about ever since the 70s, and started at least around the 50s and 60s, when we decided that because of one landslide in Pakistan, we'd import thousands of Mirapuris into Manchester and Birmingham.
00:55:32.940So when was that landslide in Mirapur?
01:06:40.680So it's not like we've just had collective amnesia for the last 10, 15 years.
01:06:45.060The inquiries come now and it's going to do the same things for other inquiries.
01:06:48.320Anyway, this is retired Detective Superintendent Mick Gradwell,
01:06:51.140who was patrolling nightclubs in Blackburn,
01:06:53.540quote, where one of the issues was Asian men cruising around in BMWs and Mercs
01:06:56.980trying to pick up young drunken girls in 1979.
01:06:59.980So the Pakistani drug trade, which is the means by which the girls are trafficked and, of course, drugged for the abuse, was operating in the late 70s.
01:07:09.800Again, about two decades after these people showed up.
