   Labour MP’s have voted down a proposed national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.

   Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch tabled an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill earlier this week, calling for a full inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.

   The bill was rejected in the Commons by 364 votes to 111, majority 253.

   Not a single Labour MP voted to support uncovering the truth on Britain’s rape gangs.

     @ForBritain Let's also be honest. Public inquiries are usually a waste of time and money. They have already decided the outcome and it's a way of giving a blank cheque to their cronies to fart about for a few years. Then recommendations are made which everyone ignores and somebody goes on TV and says *mistakes were made.*

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @ForBritain In America the purpose of inquiries is for the FBI to give immunity to the guilty for testimony and do nothing, and nothing changes and no one is arrested. And the American people clap like seals.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @ForBritain You are right about that, they are usually just an excuse to give highly placed peoples friends and relatives a cushy job for a few years.

     @Sherri_Ingrey @ForBritain A friend of mine was on a QUANGO for the NHS at least 30 years ago. There were about 10 people on full pay with access to a lunch allowance and a conference room for several months.
     They concluded that putting people in care for mental health reasons was a *bad thing.*

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @ForBritain I was on one of these "consultant" groups myself for about a year and a half, all people who were highly educated and involved in the rights of children, but we had UTTERLY NO TEETH and no ability to affect regulations or changes. All we could do was make recommendations. And we received a pretty nice stipend monthly to do that.

     @Sherri_Ingrey @KeepTakingTheSoma @ForBritain You don't even have to show up for the job in America when you're "funded" to investigate. It's exactly like the Italian mafia in America, where you put a mobster on the payroll (they don't show up) and everything works out. You put a Democrat on the payroll and it will all work out, nothing done.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @ForBritain https://thecritic.co.uk/no-more-bloody-inquiries/

     Why would anyone imagine that a comprehensive inquiry, involving thousands of victims and dozens of gangs, would ever be able to “report quickly”? Even were the inquiry to start off with a small remit, it would rapidly grow. “Interested parties” would come in, each with a really good case for being included, each with a team of lawyers to ensure their perspective was represented. Anyone who thinks this would take less than five years is frankly deluded.

     Real inquiry fans know that one of the longest-running is the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. It was established in 2015, with instructions to report by 2019. It is still going, having cost £88 million, and seen six Conservative leaders. It has yet to publish any recommendations. Won’t someone think of the children?
