Rupert Lowe's independent Rape Gang Enquiry is so important and could be the new standard

Despite lacking statutory powers, a main stream media blackout and MPs ignoring it, this enquiry is so important to Britain. But I have a feeling this could be the standard going forward.

In a week that’s full of Mandelson and selling state secrets for cash, there has also been another big news story covering one of Britain’s most shameful failures but you can be for forgiven for not noticing due to the blackout on MSM.

Rupert Lowe MP and the amazing Sammy Woodhouse have been relentless on X recently, detailing the first hearings of their independent Rape Gang Inquiry. Rupert’s latest post lays it bare; whilst critics whine about the lack of statutory powers, what’s the alternative? Sit back while more girls suffer? Wait for the Government to manipulate their own, as we have all seen happening already, set the terms of reference to suit their own objectives? Rupert is right. This isn’t about government rubber stamps, it’s about exposing the truth and jailing the guilty. And with the public’s backing, this inquiry is already proving why independence from Whitehall meddlers is essential and why I have the feeling this is the only way we can hold any government to account in the future.

The greatest political fundraiser in history

Let’s start with the funding, because it tells you everything you need to know about where the public stand. Good British people chipped in £10 or £20, maybe £50, amassing over £600,000 in the largest political crowdfunding effort in UK history. That’s 20,000 donors strong, including me and my family, all fed up with decades of institutional neglect, lies and coverup. No fat cat lobbyists here, just working class anger at a system that let thousands of vulnerable girls mostly white from deprived areas be groomed, raped, and trafficked by gangs predominantly of Pakistani heritage. This isn’t some fringe outrage, it’s a national horror demanding accountability that the establishment has dodged it for too long.

Contrast this grassroots anger with the government’s so called ‘independent’ inquiry, which is anything but. Announced amid pressure last year, it’s been mired in delays, denials, and outright sabotage. Victims and survivors on the liaison panel have resigned in droves, four in just two days, citing a toxic culture of gaslighting and manipulation. Why? Because ministers tried to broaden the scope, diluting the focus on organised grooming gangs to include all child sexual abuse. It’s a classic Whitehall trick, water it down to bury the uncomfortable truths about cultural attitudes and ethnic patterns among perpetrators. As one survivor put it, the process felt scripted, with questions limited and open discussion stifled. No wonder trust evaporated, these women, already failed once, saw the same cover up playbook in action.

The Casey report

The Casey Report, hailed as a breakthrough, was itself tainted by institutional whitewashing. Whistleblower Raja Miah, a former Labour insider turned honest critic, exposing how data on ethnicity was scrubbed, literally Tippexed out in some Rotherham files to avoid mentioning Pakistani. Miah argues this wasn’t incompetence; it was deliberate, protecting Labour’s block votes in Pakistani heavy constituencies where calling out the problem could cost seats. Casey herself admitted to ‘obfuscation’ over examining cultural drivers, leaving the report as another half-measure that failed to prosecute or reform. If government controlled probes keep pulling punches for political expediency, how can we expect justice?

Independence is key

Lowe’s inquiry, free from such strings, is already uncovering horrors the state would rather ignore and has been redacted previously. Hearings this week revealed the scandal’s international tentacles with girls flown to Pakistan for gang rapes, or targeted during Eid celebrations when perpetrators’ relatives visited the UK, turning religious festivals into opportunities for organised gang abuse. One survivor testified that Pakistani men ‘celebrated Eid by raping young girls,’ with police turning a blind eye due to fears of racism accusations. These aren’t isolated claims; X posts from the inquiry’s account and Lowe’s feed detail whistleblowers and victims describing trafficking across borders, with complicit authorities in both countries. It’s a damning indictment of how multiculturalism gone wrong, prioritising community sensitivities over child safety, has enabled this evil to fester.

Private prosecutions are coming

Elon Musk has weighed in again, replying to Lowe with an offer to fund private prosecutions against the officials who aided and abetted these crimes. Musk’s spotlight, calling out the ‘rape of Britain’ underscores the global disgust at Britain’s failures over decades. If a tech billionaire sees the need for outsider intervention, it speaks volumes about the government’s credibility, or lack thereof.

This is why independence matters. Too many MPs, councillors, and ministers especially in Labour heartlands have blood on their hands from prioritising votes over victims. Block voting from certain communities has silenced scrutiny, turning a blind eye to attitudes incompatible with British values, like viewing non-Muslim girls as easy meat. A government run inquiry, delayed indefinitely and already alienating survivors, will only produce more sanitised reports. Lowe’s effort, powered by the people, promises unfiltered truth and real pressure on Starmer’s lot to finally act, rather than slate truth tellers as ‘far right’.

The Rape Gangs Inquiry isn’t just important. It’s a lifeline for justice. When the report drops in the summer, expect fireworks and accusations, maybe even arrests based on previous actions of this government and the political police service. It won’t be manipulated like Casey’s, and it could force the government’s hand, exposing the rot from Rotherham to Rochdale and hundreds of other towns and cities. For the girls failed, for the families shattered, and for a nation demanding justice, this is how we start putting the guilty behind bars.

I have a feeling this is the only model going forward so we keep independence with national inquiries, funded via public donations to ensure independence and away from political meddling. I have a feeling Rupert has done more than he realises.
