Rather than jump into the raging press coverage or as some see it raging press coverup - here is a link to debate in UK Parliament that indicates there is an issue.
Jess Phillips certainly didn’t, and Chris Philp is referring to authorities not handling reports correctly: an issue that has been raised since the Rotherham abuse scandal. A scandal, I remind you, where the current Prime Minister was in charge of the CPS and whom Andrew Norfolk (who broke the news story) specifically credited as working hard to uncover and prosecute the perpetrators of in his last interview with The News Agents.
Also, you just quoted a fucking Parliamentary debate on the very issue that was claimed to be covered up! Just let that sink in.
Not trying to take a side.
You can retract your f**.
Yes there is a debate now and it is very open, and there are many reports that it was not so open and people were hurt for a long time. Was that political cover up? Each can decide - but I think the debate shows there was a real issue.
I never said there wasn't, so no, I won't retract my "fuck." I asked for evidence that politicians are covering up child trafficking gangs, and what you provided was not that.
> Yes there is a debate now and it is very open, and there are many reports that it was not so open and people were hurt for a long time. Was that political cover up?
No, it fucking wasn't. Get a grip. This is a serious issue and you're playing word games. That's why I'm talking to you like this.
There was a debate at the time the Rotherham scandal occurred. Multiple local inquiries were held. I pointed you at the News Agents episode that talked about this and you clearly paid no attention because you're still trying to argue semantics. Grow up.

Straight up FP is lying, so you’re off to a fucking awful start. You can verify this against the News Agent interview I’ve mentioned for the third time now. Watch it on YouTube.
I don’t have an Economist account but it doesn’t seem to mention coverup in be lede. Given it would be the biggest political story in Britain, I doubt it says coverup by politicians.
Al Jazeera talks about the inquiry being ordered, still no coverup.
Guardian talks about the disgustingly bad reporting standards of the police. Still no coverup by politicians.
Sky News is a timeline of inquiries. Literal opposite of a fucking coverup.
Telegraph is talking about the inquiry that Labour eventually launched. It’s lying about the use of the term coverup: no abuse was covered up by politicians by running, or not, an inquiry.
The Week is an explainer for the scandal, no coverup by politicians.
Women Against Rape are talking about the police, not politicians. Anyone knows, and I already mentioned, the failures of the police here.
Did you seriously just waste your time finding links you obviously didn’t read to still fail to answer a simple fucking question:
Where is the evidence that POLITICIANS covered up child abuse rings? That was the flagged comment and you have failed to back the claim.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few decades, you would know that British Pakistani rape gangs have been shielded from prosecution.
This only changed recently.
FYI, the first documented such case is from 1973. Over 50 years of systematic abuse can only be hidden by a complicit establishment.
The fact you’re telling me “do your own research,” tells me you’re lying through your teeth because you can’t just show me the front page of a mainstream newspaper. The only person to even try showed evidence to the contrary: multiple parliamentary inquiries and debates.
One last time: where is your evidence for the extraordinary claim that British politicians (Labour, Conservative or Lib Dem) have been covering up a sex child abuse scandal?
Also, one comment is often read by hundreds of people, so if you've already done the research and provide it to the community, countless hours are saved and duplicate work doesn't need to be performed.
