I'm sure some of us are following the slow motion car crash that is the enquiry into the exploitation and abuse of young girls by various groups of men. And to address the elephant in the room, the media focus at least is upon the ethnicity of those men with a bias toward reporting those of Asian origin whilst ignoring Caucasian roots.
Two women have resigned from the enquiry. They are acknowledged victims of the various heinous acts and deserve to know the truth about the authorities failed to protect them. To that extent, their reluctance to accept a leader of the enquiry who may have a conflict of interest (e.g. social worker or police officer) is perfectly understandable.
These two (Fiona and Ellie-Ann) were yesterday and today front and centre of various media outlet stories - TV, radio, news websites, etc.
I fear however that those outlets have been selective.
Fiona is being mentored by our old friend Mr Lowe. He has little interest other than to forment division, opposition and challenge to the current administration. Presumably that's what gets him excited i.e. being against something rather than for something.
Ellie-Ann is a Reform councillor. Space does not permit listing the inconsistent and incoherent activities of such councillors - presumably following the Reform party instructions - but suffice to say that there are a number of difficulties for them.
I have no idea whether Fiona is unduly influenced by Rupert. I have no idea is Ellie-Ann is a good or a bad councillor in terms of following Reform's instructions.
Equally I have no idea whether there is an ulterior motive in their coordinated departure from the enquiry, such as creating yet more rage against the establishment.
I do think however that the media reporting should at least have mentioned the above connections as being relevant and perhaps asked them whether those connections played any part in their decision.
I am absolutely convinced that these women were abused not only by those scum who groomed them but also by the indifference or sometimes active participation of social workers and police. They and we deserve to know the truth. But that truth did not end when the abuse did. If there is some political intent here to prevent the enquiry from undertaking its work, a hidden hand seeking to guide the process via these women, then is that not also part of the truth? |  | | |  |
