You've got a very powerful piece in the mail today saying
0:04
I uncovered the grooming gang scandal 15 years ago, was vilified by the left
0:08
now I've been entirely vindicated, but you say you fear this is all still going on today
0:13
I know it's still going on. In fact, I've been told in the last fortnight it's still going on
0:21
And since I wrote about it in Rotherham, I broke it in Rotherham
0:25
and went back to the same girl who was by then in her 20s
0:30
and she took me into the centre of Rotherham at night and pointed out the gangs milling around
0:40
girls near the bus stop, all... You know, obviously you weren't... I wasn't going in to the top floor flats behind takeaways
0:51
and that kind of place where it was obviously physically going on
0:56
But you could see that there were men milling around There were girls still out at night It was the winter seven at night in grim areas You know grim areas that had become very grim and very edgy
1:10
And she said it definitely was still going on. And you could see that these were girls of not legal age, schoolgirls
1:16
Yeah, schoolgirls. What happens, they pick them up. Really, the big place they pick them up is at the school gates
1:22
And I believe the schools are culpable. I think the schools should be brought in on this
1:28
Why didn't they warn the kids? Why didn't they have classes saying
1:33
look, there are predators out there on the internet, white, English speakers, very dangerous
1:42
Don't go and meet one. Don't go into a chat room. But also at the school gate, there's a guy
1:48
a handsome guy in an open-top BMW who says, I'll take you home for a pizza
1:54
Equally dangerous. When you said to the schools and the agencies and the charities there, they told you you were racist to even suggest this
2:04
And this is the crucial distinction. And I remember screaming at them
