There are currently NO publicly detailed specific cases of child rape ‘grooming’ gangs being actively investigated by Police Scotland as UK Government considers 700 groups and 115 000 victims in just one year in England

Nothing in Scotland looks anything like the mass child grooming rape gangs in England but Scottish Labour desperately need a national review for their Holyrood campaign and the Herald is trying to help

No tasteless, exploitative images here. Please Support Talking-up Scotland at:https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. The Herald today: The SNP has been accused of dragging its feet on tackling grooming gangs, after watchdogs set out an 18-month timetable for a national review that would only then inform a decision on whether a full public inquiry is required. Critics said the timescale amounted to a further delay for survivors of group-based child sexual exploitation. Here’s why a careful approach to a national review is required, reasons which were already in a response to Labour MP Joani Reid, in November 2025. It’s had no MSM coverage. … Continue reading Nothing in Scotland looks anything like the mass child grooming rape gangs in England but Scottish Labour desperately need a national review for their Holyrood campaign and the Herald is trying to help

They so want Rutherglen to be like Rochdale but from Police Scotland – ‘No current investigations in Scotland involving offences against children which would mirror the investigations [in England] described in Baroness Casey’s audit as being perpetrated by “grooming gangs”

Professor John Robertson OBA They will not give up. They smell blood and tears and with Joani Reid’s help they will make sure enough Scots think we have rape grooming gangs too and so are no different. Why do they want this? To keep SNP supporters at home. Readers will be aware no doubt of new Labour MP Joani Reid’s shameless u-turn on national inquiries into grooming gangs – no in England where they are many, to save her boss a red face, but yes in Scotland, where there are none, proving that as Jimmy Reid’s granddaughter, the apple can fall pretty … Continue reading They so want Rutherglen to be like Rochdale but from Police Scotland – ‘No current investigations in Scotland involving offences against children which would mirror the investigations [in England] described in Baroness Casey’s audit as being perpetrated by “grooming gangs”

Nothing in Scotland looks anything like the mass child grooming rape gangs in England but Paul Hutcheon and Jimmy Reid’s granddaughter seem to think it’d be great for Scottish Labour’s campaign

Professor John Robertson OBA The Record‘s Paul Hutcheon and Labour‘s Joani Reid are at it again today desperate to have rape grooming gangs here too in the hope that the SNP can be blamed for them and just in time to save Anas for the May 2026 Holyrood elections. I’ll repeat the evidence that totally refutes the notion but first, look at that frontpage from October 2025 on the right. Why would you want a photo of yourself smiling in that context and use the phrase ‘we need?‘ I’m no psychologist but is the smile not a bit sociopathic and … Continue reading Nothing in Scotland looks anything like the mass child grooming rape gangs in England but Paul Hutcheon and Jimmy Reid’s granddaughter seem to think it’d be great for Scottish Labour’s campaign

News BBC Scotland prefers not to tell you – Young carers were almost “perfect” targets for the kind of street-grooming model that operated in Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford but only SNP Government in Scotland offers unique payment to help them escape those conditions

Professor John Robertson OBA From the Scottish Government today, reported by STV but not by BBC Scotland: Young carers up to age 19 will now receive Young Carer Grant following an expansion of the benefit delivered by Social Security Scotland. The grant which was previously open to 16 to 18-year-olds is a Scottish only benefit that gives young carers a yearly payment of £390.25. The payment can be used to pay for whatever the young person wants – like driving lessons, tech to help with work or study or new clothes. The grant is available to young people who spend … Continue reading News BBC Scotland prefers not to tell you – Young carers were almost “perfect” targets for the kind of street-grooming model that operated in Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford but only SNP Government in Scotland offers unique payment to help them escape those conditions

Once more – Don’t be fooled by our media ghouls – this is not a ‘rape grooming’ gang like those in England – no large gangs of men driving multiple young girls from town to town, no care home raids for thousands of victims, no alleged police involvement

Professor John Robertson OBA One survivor, one family in Glasgow does not make a rape grooming gang on a par with those in England, raiding children’s homes for thousands of victims, much as Joani Reid, Kemi Badenoch and many of the ghouls in Scotland’s ‘media’ might wish it was. Here are the facts again They, Scottish Labour and the MSM, would just love it if Scotland had one of those grooming gangs like the ones they have in England. That’s why they’re using the term for a gang that has little in common with the English ones and which, crucially, … Continue reading Once more – Don’t be fooled by our media ghouls – this is not a ‘rape grooming’ gang like those in England – no large gangs of men driving multiple young girls from town to town, no care home raids for thousands of victims, no alleged police involvement

Jimmy Reid’s granddaughter is joined by Kemi Badenoch in darkly cynical campaign to smear Scotland with disgraceful suggestion SNP is ‘hiding something’ about grooming rape gangs here too

Professor John Robertson OBA In the Herald today, on the Tory leader Kemi Badenoch: Kemi Badenoch has described Police Scotland’s failure to investigate a grooming gang in Scotland as “utterly shameful”. The Tory leader also accused the Scottish Government of “blocking scrutiny” into the allegations and warned that its refusal to support a public inquiry would lead to questions about whether the SNP was “hiding something”. Labour’s Joani Reid has been ploughing this rancid furrow for some time now and the answer for Badenoch will be similar. First, is Badenoch guilty of the same opportunistic shifting hypocrisy as we saw with Reid when, under … Continue reading Jimmy Reid’s granddaughter is joined by Kemi Badenoch in darkly cynical campaign to smear Scotland with disgraceful suggestion SNP is ‘hiding something’ about grooming rape gangs here too

‘Scottish’ Labour MP Joani Reid appears on right-wing media to try to drag Scotland into England’s grooming rape gangs shame

Professor John Robertson OBA The ever-alert MSM Monitor spots the latest attempt by Jimmy Reid‘s granddaughter, Joani, to shame Scotland on behalf of UK Labour. The facts she cares nothing for: Don’t be fooled – this is not a ‘grooming’ gang like those in England – no children, no children’s homes, no thousands of victims They, Scottish Labour and the MSM, would just love it if Scotland had one of those grooming gangs like the ones they have in England. That’s why they’re using the term for a gang that has little in common with the English ones and which, … Continue reading ‘Scottish’ Labour MP Joani Reid appears on right-wing media to try to drag Scotland into England’s grooming rape gangs shame

Don’t be fooled – this is not a ‘grooming’ gang like those in England – no children, no children’s homes, no thousands of victims

Professor John Robertson OBA They, Scottish Labour and the MSM, would just love it if Scotland had one of those grooming gangs like the ones they have in England. That’s why they’re using the term for a gang that has little in common with the English ones and which, crucially, required a very different response. Here are key differences: This case, dubbed “Scotland’s Rochdale,” stemmed from Police Scotland’s Operation Recloir, which addressed intelligence on human trafficking and exploitation in Tayside. While it highlights serious issues of grooming and trafficking vulnerable young adults, claims involving children from care homes appear unsubstantiated … Continue reading Don’t be fooled – this is not a ‘grooming’ gang like those in England – no children, no children’s homes, no thousands of victims
