LAST Thursday YouTube banned an interview by Andrew Gold with Raja Miah, the ‘whistleblower’ on local authorities’ connivance in the Muslim grooming gangs cover up, a man whose evidence to date has been ignored by the mainstream media.
Four days later Sir Keir Starmer, following the advice of Baroness Louise Casey, whom he very much admires, so Rachel Reeves told us, announced his U-turn. He would, after all, be conducting a full national inquiry into the grooming gangs. Casey’s rapid review had somehow convinced of him what everyone else except he and the majority of his Labour Party already knew, that yes, there was evidence of Muslim grooming gangs and that victims were ‘institutionally’ ignored for fear of accusations of racism, that the crimes were ethnically specific and disproportionate in the wider context child abuse rings. The report was released yesterday. According to Reeves, in those few weeks Casey herself too had somehow changed her mind. I suppose we have to be thankful, given the Guardian‘s view that Starmer ‘caved in’ only because he ‘was forced to’.
Number 10 promises (via the BBC) that institutions that failed to protect these grooming gang victims will be held to account. But I wonder how. It is only individuals, surely, who can be held to account? Someone who’s been trying to do that is the whistleblower Raja Mia.
Will Starmer’s ‘full national inquiry’ invite him and others who know exactly what was happening in various local authorities and constituencies to come forward to the inquiry with their evidence? Or will it be like Hallett/covid and those allowed to give evidence will be handpicked? Will they be calling for whistleblowers? Or will they follow YouTube’s policy of censoring any potential uncomfortable information as they have just done with Andrew Gold’s interview?
In a tweet reporting this ban Gold says that he had never encountered so much pressure to suppress a video as with his interview with Raja Miah. So who is Miah and why is he such a threat? He is a Muslim appointed an MBE for his social integration work. He has claimed responsibility for exposing the cover-up of the gang rape of children in his town, Oldham. He has also reached out to the mainstream press but to no avail. In a social media interview with Mahyar Tousi in January he detailed those in the local authority who were complicit in protecting Pakistani rape gangs in Oldham, how they did it and why.
It is further proof of the shallow nature of MSM reportage and investigation that they have ignored Miah in the intervening months. Andrew Gold has not. You can watch his interview with Miah on X which, thanks to Elon Musk, has not banned it.
Raja fears for his life. He tweeted the day the interview went out: ‘I accepted my fate some time ago. Those that gained from what took place will either put me in prison or they will succeed in killing me. It is either this or we will succeed, the depth of @UKLabour’s cover up will be exposed and our nation will never be the same again. I believe that a moment of reckoning is approaching. Senior politicians in @Keir_Starmer’s Pakistani Rape Clan protecting government know that if they do not silence us then they risk being arrested and charged for their role in the cover up of the industrial scale gang rape of the nation’s children. I will be ever grateful to @AndrewGold_ok and others for having the courage to stand alongside me and say no more will we fear what will come of us whilst our children are exchanged for votes.’
