8:01Now PlayingIn a clip from today's podcast, Laura and Oli dive deep on both the media and Westminster's perpetrator-first approach to the grooming gangs scandal, and make a case for focusing on who really needs support: the victims. Has this become yet another political football, and, if so, how can we change that?
Whether it's Richard Tice asking Yvette Cooper for an apology in the House of Commons yesterday or Elon Musk calling out Prime Minister Keir Starmer's complicity in Britain's exploitation on X in January, everyone seems to have forgotten who the Casey Review was supposedly for, or undertaken to protect.
Laura and Oli break down how this issue has been framed, not through the lens of safeguarding or justice, but through the identities of the perpetrators. To what extent are Pakistani-heritage men to blame? How creditable is this racialisation? Misogyny is a universal problem. Is the problem just men?
