Bestselling author and journalist, Douglas Murray speaks about the grooming gang scandal in Britain that was first addressed by Tommy Robinson, predominantly involving Muslim men abusing young girls.
The paradox of British politeness and a deep-rooted multicultural dogma that prioritize social harmony over confronting difficult truths, has created a unique environment where serious issues can be buried under layers of politically correct rhetoric.
The UK civil unrest: It was journalist Tommy Robinson who initiated and first spoke up against the horrifying rape scandals in the UK that involved Muslim men who attacked and violated thousands of British girls, without the police doing much to stop it. This went on for years. The fear of being labelled a “racist” is so strong in Europe that foreigners and non-Western criminals do not face accountability in the same way that is required of indigenous Europeans.
Douglas Murray comments on the work of Tommy Robinson and why the establishment elite has been so harsh on him. Robinson has spent time in jail, repeatedly arrested, publicly harassed and demonized in the European press.
The UK civil unrest: The grooming gang issue has been ignored for at least 25 years, despite numerous victims and ongoing abuse across multiple towns. This suppression is not due to lack of evidence but rather institutional fear of inflaming racial tensions or being labeled racist. This demonstrates a systemic failure in governance and justice mechanisms. The reluctance to act properly has allowed abuse to continue and victims to be ignored.
Police forces, local councils, and social services repeatedly failed victims, sometimes arresting family members of victims rather than perpetrators.
The case in Oxford, where a vulnerable girl was returned to abusers after escaping, exemplifies the catastrophic breakdown of duty of care. These failures go beyond incompetence and verge on institutional complicity, highlighting a deep crisis in public trust towards authorities responsible for protecting citizens.

The UK civil unrest: British discourse often shifts to debating the legitimacy or rhetoric of Tommy Robinson, an outspoken critic of grooming gangs, rather than addressing the core problem.
Robinson’s persona has been used as a smokescreen to avoid confronting uncomfortable truths. This deflection serves political and social interests aiming to silence working-class voices and avoid uncomfortable conversations about ethnicity and crime.
The fear of being branded racist or Islamophobic has completely paralyzed police and politicians, allowing non-Western criminals to evade justice and victims to be marginalized.
This phenomenon reflects a broader Western dilemma where political correctness and identity politics sometimes obstruct honest discussion and effective law enforcement, especially in multicultural societies. The consequences are grave, including prolonged suffering and erosion of societal cohesion.
The scandal’s recent international exposure has been driven significantly by American commentators and figures like Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson, highlighting a transatlantic dimension to discussions on free speech, immigration, and cultural identity.
This external spotlight contrasts with Britain’s internal reluctance to address the issue and raises questions about sovereignty, media dynamics, and the role of global social media in shaping national debates.
Murray adresses how this scandal has been extensively suppressed and ignored by British authorities, media, and politicians for decades. The reluctance to address the problem openly is attributed to fears of being labeled racist or Islamophobic, leading to a systemic failure in police, social services, and local government.
The discussion critiques the British political and media landscape for deflecting attention onto secondary matters, such as focusing on controversial figures like Tommy Robinson, instead of confronting the root issues.
The British public’s tolerance for this failure is noted as remarkable but not infinite, with warnings about potential societal backlash. The conversation also contrasts British reluctance to address these issues with America’s more direct political culture, noting that some American voices, including Elon Musk and Trump supporters, have amplified the topic internationally.
The working-class communities, who have borne the brunt of grooming gang abuse and subsequent institutional neglect, are increasingly frustrated and alienated. Unlike middle-class populations who can relocate or avoid issues, working-class individuals are often trapped in affected areas with little recourse.
The UK civil unrest: This dynamic risks fueling political and social backlash, which could manifest in unpredictable and potentially destabilizing ways. The British political establishment is cautioned not to underestimate this simmering discontent.
Douglas Murray also emphasizes the importance of national pride and cultural identity, arguing against the narrative that Britain is inherently racist and should feel ashamed of its past. The discussion concludes on a hopeful note, suggesting that embracing British history and values might help chart a better future.
The conversation critiques narratives that denigrate British history and identity, arguing that such attitudes contribute to native demoralization and social division. Reclaiming cultural pride without xenophobia is positioned as essential for national cohesion and addressing social challenges effectively.
This analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the grooming gang scandal’s complex social, political, and cultural dimensions within Britain, emphasizing the need for honest discourse, institutional reform, and cultural pride to foster a safer and more united society.
Led by Scandinavian bestselling author, Hanne Nabintu Herland, The Herland Report news and opinion website provides independent analysis from leading Western intellectuals and ground breaking Podcasts and YouTube interviews, cutting through the mainstream media rhetoric. It is a great place to watch interviews and read the articles of leading intellectuals, thought leaders, authors and activists from across the political spectrum. The Herland Report believes in freedom of speech and its editorial policy resides above the traditional Left vs Right paradigm which we believe has lost its relevance and ability to describe the current driving forces in Western politics.
