Maajid Nawaz powerfully calls for a national inquiry into grooming gangs

Maajid Nawaz is calling for a national inquiry, similar to the one into Stephen Lawrence's murder, into grooming gangs in the United Kingdom. Maajid Nawaz recalled Stephen Lawrence's murder and the Macpherson Inquiry that followed. He noted that the Macpherson report "coined the phrase 'institutional racism', and shifted the debate in this country around race permanently and forever." Speaking of the grooming gangs scandals 27 cities, he said: "This grooming gang scandal must be investigated on a national level in the same way because this is institutional misogyny." He continued: "The fear ... of anti-Muslim bigotry must never be an excuse to allow underage girls to be raped and abused in this way. But it was. "Think of that. Imagine that 27 cities and counting... because I can guarantee you we haven't heard the end of this yet. Imagine the thousands of victims. Imagine the impunity with which these men must have been acting." #MaajidNawaz #Grooming #LBC LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs.
