@KeepTakingTheSoma I don't think everything is controlled, because I don't think everything can be controlled. Way too many moving parts altogether.
The rape gang thing was always going to bubble up eventually, I think. The question was when. It does seem that the stranglehold the right-thinking people had on public information and narrative is slipping, especially in the UK. A good example of this is the pushback against trans nonsense making it more and more to mainstream. And once it slips in one area, it'll start slipping in another.
Fundamentally, no one contingent can hold power forever. Nothing is permanent, everything changes, this too shall pass. And I think there's a shift in the power balance in the UK, and perhaps elsewhere too. What happens with the shift, I don't know, because things like that tend to be unpredictable.
