‘Grooming gangs’ – As Herald platforms Tories to reveal their squalid purpose, Scottish Government appoints a real expert

Professor John Robertson OBA The abovementioned calls are from a expected quarter: You see that first line in the second paragraph? They already know that there are grooming gangs in Scotland like the ones in Rochdale and other midland towns, which have raped thousands of young white girls from badly -run care homes. There’s no point having an inquiry if you already know the answer. I know a different answer and mine is based on Police Scotland advice to the First Minister – there are none like the ones in England. In different times the Police Scotland verdict might have … Continue reading ‘Grooming gangs’ – As Herald platforms Tories to reveal their squalid purpose, Scottish Government appoints a real expert

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

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

‘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 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 far from the tree at times. Reid also wrote to FM Swinney, demanding an inquiry here but his response published on 4th July 2025 has had no MSM coverage. You can see why: However, in order for any action to be effective, … Continue reading ‘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”

The history of the Tories, Liberals and Labour in covering-up systematic child abuse by MPs that underlies the more recent inaction by government and by police on grooming gangs

By JB Independent Inquiry Child Sex Abuse From the 2012 investigation  ‘Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse Linked to Westminster’. “This investigation concerns institutional responses to allegations of child sexual abuse and exploitation involving persons of public prominence who were associated with Westminster.
