Amazingly, Sky News and, I hear, Channel 4 News find a woman in Glasgow to talk about her experience of being groomed and raped.
*That this took place in Glasgow, ten years ago or so, is not confirmed.
It’s an amazing find. Until the recent (2002) abuse of 4 children of primary school age in Glasgow by 7 men, there is no report of anything like a ‘grooming’ gang with multiple victims in Scotland.
Channel 4’s FACTCHECK in August 2014, makes no mention of Scotland or Glasgow, only:
By date of conviction, we have evidence of such exploitation taking place in Keighley (2005 and 2013), Blackpool (2006), Oldham (2007 and 2008), Blackburn (2007, 2008 and 2009), Sheffield (2008), Manchester (2008 and 2013) Skipton (2009), Rochdale (two cases in 2010, one in 2012 and another in 2013), Nelson (2010), Preston (2010) Rotherham (2010) Derby (2010), Telford (2012), Bradford (2012), Ipswich (2013), Birmingham (2013), Oxford (2013), Barking (2013) and Peterborough (2013).

There is great media interest in the recent coverage of the ethnicity of the English gangs – predominantly Asian. The 8 Glasgow men in 2022 were all white.
This ability to find a Scottish connection was also demonstrated by Channel 4 News in October 2024, on County Lines gangs:
From Police Scotland in 2019:
The charity Crime-stoppers is today 14th January 2019 launching a campaign to highlight the pain and suffering that criminals from English cities are inflicting on vulnerable people in Scotland’s rural and coastal towns. The campaign aims to raise awareness of County Lines, which is when criminals from major cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, London and Birmingham are expanding their drug networks to other areas, bringing with it serious criminal behaviour such as violence, exploitation and abuse. The term County Lines refers to the use of a single telephone number to order drugs, operated from outside the local area. This is having a massive impact on rural communities and also on vulnerable children and adults who are being recruited in cities such as Manchester and Liverpool.1
There are no such gangs based in Scottish cities yet tonight Channel 4 located their report in Glasgow, interviewed victims with Scottish accents, did not once mention England or any English city and referred to contacting the Scottish Government despite it having no jurisdiction in English cities.
At least five years since this plague of extreme violence, child abuse, people trafficking and drug deaths resulting from an increased flow of cheaper yet more powerful drugs into small town and rural Scotland, and Channel 4 News has not had the gumption to investigate the source of the plague in an English city.
The association has now been made between County Lines gangs and Scotland is a way which inverts the true relationship between the English perpetrators and Scottish victims.
A former STV reporter, Kathryn Samson, knows better but is already absorbed in that culture dismissive of Scotland.
