'There is a racist element and it comes from the perpetrators'

The fact is there is a racial element to this national scandal and it’s coming from the perpetrators.

- Tim Newark Political Commentator

Katie Lam MP shocked fellow parliamentarians by quoting from a 13-year-old who was told by her Asian rapist: “We're here to f*** all the white girls and f*** the Government.”

Lam said: “There are very good reasons to believe that these crimes were both racially and religiously aggravated and motivated.” There is no point trying to sanitise it. The term “grooming gangs” is frequently used as a euphemism for rape gangs. And the majority of those prosecuted are Muslims of Pakistani heritage.
