Thank God for Katie Lam. Yesterday the government tried to conduct a grubby betrayal of thousands of young girls groomed and raped in towns and cities across the country. On the last day parliament sat before the Easter recess, Jess Phillips, the junior minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls spoke to an almost empty Commons to update MPs on the governmentās plans to deal with āgrooming gangsā. Few MPs were present. [ā¦]
Thankfully, Katie Lam, MP for Weald of Kent since last July was in the chamber. She cut through Phillipsā obfuscation to demonstrate the extent to which the government has failed victims. As Lam said, āThe girls we are talking about are predominantly white. The men who preyed on them were predominately Muslim, generally either from Pakistan or of Pakistani heritageā¦ one of the victims from Dewsbury was told by her rapist: āWeāre here to fuck all the white girls and fuck the government.āā Lam went on to state that in many cases these crimes were religiously and racially motivated and that without a national, statutory inquiry itās impossible to understand why these crimes happened, or to be sure we can prevent them in the future
