Judge rejects ‘not appropriate’ release of grooming gang trial transcript

A judge has rejected a request to release transcripts from a key grooming gang trial arguing that it would be “contrary to the public interest.”

Activists from campaign group Open Justice UK have been raising money to release sentencing remarks and full court proceedings from the abuse trials.

They argue that “crucial information” about the gangs is being hidden from victims, researchers, and the public, which they allege “blocks wider understanding and prevents meaningful reform.” The group has requested the release of the full transcript from a 2016 trial at Bradford Crown Court for twelve men who sexually exploited a teenage girl in Keighley.

Members of the gang were jailed for the “terrible and heartless” abuse of the girl from the age of 13.

Adam Wren, who runs Open Justice UK, wrote to the court to request the transcripts for the case to “enable accurate public discussion” and to “facilitate informed public awareness of these serious matters.”

@Flick @KeepTakingTheSoma Slimy fuckers!

@Flick @KeepTakingTheSoma Quite.

@Flick @KeepTakingTheSoma I am rather downhearted to see Nordic Model trying to downplay the race angle/sacred caste-ing of the perps due to said issue, and keeping referring to "So called grooming gangs". Have they been infiltrated too.

Hamas is suing the British Government for violating its human rights. That’s not a joke — or rather it is, but on the British public. The Palestinian terrorist organisation has launched a legal challenge against the Home Office’s decision to proscribe it for being a terrorist organisation, a move it claims violates its rights to freedom of speech and protest. As a showcase for the increasingly obvious absurdities of Britain’s current system, it really is hard to beat.

First, it has shown once again the shameless double standard demanded by certain lawyers. They simultaneously tout their association with various causes and denounce anybody who criticises those associations as undermining the so-called “cab rank rule”, referring to the standard whereby a barrister has to accept the next case that comes along. Such objections are especially specious in this case. For one thing, the cab rank principle only applies to barristers, not solicitors’ firms. Moreover, the cause is usually at least a broad-spectrum defence of human rights per se rather than explicit support for a particular group, as Riverway Law appears to have advertised. But it also highlights a problem with the broader system. Because if we take the official logic of human rights at face value, the mere fact of Hamas’s suit — if not perhaps the actual legal case — is not absurd at all.

@RadicalCartoons Oh she's a fucking óinseach that one. Gormless.

The test is much like the ones that Viz used to send up, asking for instance: ‘Are you a Toff or a Tramp?’ Except Westminster’s privilege checklist is even less scientific. Add five points if you answer in the affirmative that your ‘parents or guardians read to me when I was a child’, ‘English is my first language’ or ‘I drive a new car’. Add 15 points if you respond, ‘I am a white male’. Minus five if: ‘I see members of my race, ethnic group, gender… negatively portrayed on TV.’

The whole thing is nonsense. It’s no surprise to discover that Stuart Love is himself a white man, originally from South Africa, a country with a far greater legacy of racism than Britain. This initiative reeks of white liberal guilt, as does the notion of ‘white privilege’ in its entirety. It is the product of a white overclass desperate to boast its moral superiority through attention-seeking performances of self-flagellation.

How long before Kemi Badenoch has a cardboard placard hung round her neck, Cultural Revolution style, to let the world know she still hasn’t watched Adolescence?

It’s getting to that stage. First Nick Ferrari of LBC accused her of a ‘dereliction of duty’ for failing to watch the Netflix drama. Then professional tit James O’Brien said it is ‘unthinkable’ that she has ‘swerved this programme’. And now the BBC is grilling her. ‘Have you watched Adolescence yet?’, its presenters barked in McCarthyite tones this week. No, said the sinner. Quick! Shave her head, drag her to the square, parade the Adolescence avoider before the eyes of the apoplectic!

It is getting ridiculous. There’s a trade war, there are real wars and there are real crimes – rape gangs, anyone? – and yet the Beeb thinks the most pressing thing to ask the leader of the opposition about is a TV show. Her inquisition took place on BBC Breakfast. ‘Have you watched Adolescence yet?’, asked host Charlie Stayt. Yet. His truculent utterance of that word left no doubt: anyone who wants to keep sweet with the elites will have to submit eventually and imbibe this holy drama.

All this talk of ‘public conversation’ is driving me mad. Munchetty told Badenoch she must watch Adolescence if she wants to ‘know what people are talking about’. I’ll tell you what people are talking about, Naga: ‘grooming gangs’. Those gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men who exploited and raped white working-class girls in towns around the country for decades. Once again, the government has let down the victims of those sick crimes, this time by saying it might not proceed with the inquiries it promised. And you want us to talk about a crime someone made up?

That those BBC hosts interrogated Badenoch about Adolescence the day after the government said it wouldn’t be holding inquiries into ‘grooming gangs’ is mind-blowing. Nothing better captures the aristocratic aloofness of the BBC, its unworldly disregard for our concerns, than the fact that it badgered Badenoch about a fictional crime on the day the rest of us were talking about the real crimes inflicted on working-class girls under the noses of mercilessly blithe officials. If a fictional assault on a fictional girl troubles you more than the horrors those real girls endured, you are lost. Your neo-religion has rendered you heartless.

JK Rowling has accused NHS Fife of attempting to hide the appearance of trans medic Dr Beth Upton in the next round of Sandie Peggie tribunal hearings. The health board has launched a legal bid to block the public from viewing the conclusion of the tribunal in July, as the veteran nurse sues her employers and Dr Upton for harassment.

The first two weeks of hearings in February saw thousands of people watch the proceedings online, with Dr Upton – a biological male who was previously known as Theodore – giving evidence for several days. Responding to a report about NHS Fife's latest move, Rowling responded on X: "Presumably because it will be easier to pretend a large, trans-identified natal male belongs in women's changing rooms if the public can’t see what he looks like."

Another account, called Kalopsia, said: "First they took your words. Then they took your spaces. Now they want to take your right to even see it happen. This isn't about safety. It's about domination through silence."

Secretive NHS Fife has been blasted after lodging a legal bid attempting to block the public from viewing the conclusion of the Sandie Peggie employment tribunal. The case is set to restart in July after commencing in February, with the delay the result of the health board refusing to hand over key documents.

And now the health board want to ban the public from watching the live stream of the case, and also stop Tribunal Tweets from live-tweeting it as it claims there have been "inaccuracies" in the coverage. Judge Kemp will decide on this in a behind closed doors summit on Tuesday, April 15.

It garnered a lot of public attention and the live stream of the tribunal was well attended by journalists and the general public. However, the health board now wants to restrict "virtual viewing" of it so only journalists can get access when it restarts in July. NHS Fife claimed that the first stage of the tribunal was marred by "technical issues and interruptions" from people watching online, which it said caused "significant delays" to proceedings. In September, the health board and Dr Upton sought an order to hold it in private and prevent the publication of the doctor's name, citing concerns about their health and safety. But this was rejected on the grounds that the issues were involved were of legitimate public debate and that open justice must be upheld. Issues were reported with the livestream due to the technology involved as it was similar to a conference call, meaning that observers had to mute their microphones and switch off cameras or risk impacting proceedings, which did happen a number of times.

The health board also want a ban on Tribunal Tweets posting live updates, claiming it had received a public complaint about the posts. It said: "Our legal team at the Central Legal Office carried out an analysis of the tweets, and found a number of inaccuracies. Following this review, a request was therefore made to the Tribunal to revoke Tribunal Tweets' permission to live-tweet proceedings, on the grounds that reporting must be 'fair and accurate."

Scottish Tory Shadow Equalities Minister Tess White criticised this attempt to make the case private. She said: "This reeks of an attempt at secrecy and cover-up from NHS Fife. There is understandably huge public interest in this case, yet this health board are trying to find any excuse from keeping it out of view from the public.

“The public will be appalled at NHS Fife’s latest actions given they are squandering taxpayers’ money on this case at a time when frontline healthcare services are in crisis locally. The health board should rethink this request, allow time for any technical issues to be resolved by the tribunal and let people tune into the next stage of this tribunal without any restrictions.”

@Flick What do they care, this is clown central after all.

@Lady_Penelope @Haleakalacrater Right to buy was a damned disaster of a thing that ought never have been put in place, bloody Thatcher.

@EatKnitSleepAgain @FeartnTired @Haleakalacrater @Lady_Penelope That's the bit I never understood, the you can't build any more, I mean why, what the hell was that all about.

@EatKnitSleepAgain @FeartnTired @Haleakalacrater @Lady_Penelope Don't get me started, seen it all, also toerags of the first water being dealt with over everyone else too, I am sick of it.

@KeepTakingTheSoma Indeed, and all the doors and windows locked, no escape.

released.

Hussain raped 15 11-year-old girls for 10 years.

He ripped out the nails of girls who tried to escape.

The court found a total of 55 crimes.

Hussain, who served a 9-year sentence, is now walking the streets of the UK.

What the fuck is the matter with these demonic brats 🤬

A 15-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl have been found guilty of killing an 80-year-old man who was filmed being punched and kicked during a fatal attack at a park. Leicester Crown Court heard the boy racially abused Bhim Kohli, and slapped him in the face with a slider shoe while he was on his knees during the "intense attack", while the girl encouraged the violence and filmed it on her phone while laughing.

Mr Kohli died the day after the attack, which occurred yards from his home while he was walking his dog Rocky in Franklin Park, Braunstone Town, Leicestershire, on 1 September. The boy was charged with murder and manslaughter, but was acquitted of the more serious charge on Tuesday.

Neither defendant can be named because of their ages. The boy was remanded in custody, while the girl was released on conditional bail.

They will be sentenced on 19 and 20 May.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/08/what-does-a-foreign-sex-offender-have-to-do-to-get-deported/

Once again, we see Britain’s immigration judges prioritising the safety and wellbeing of a foreign criminal over that of law-abiding citizens. Our membership of the ECHR, in particular, continues to be a gift for sex offenders who want to avoid deportation.

Take the case of the Congolese paedophile, known as ‘MD’. In 2020, he was imprisoned for three years for offences such as sexual penetration and sexual assault against his stepdaughter and two other young girls in his family. Back in November, the Telegraph reported that he had been allowed to remain in the UK on human-rights grounds. Despite the depraved nature of his crimes, an immigration tribunal ruled that removing him from the UK would breach his ‘right to family life’, as enshrined in Article 8 of the ECHR. Apparently, deportation would have had a negative impact on the wellbeing of MD’s wife and their three biological children (who were not victims of the sexual offences).

Similarly, a Romanian national who hid the fact that he had a rape conviction in his homeland was also able to use human-rights law to avoid deportation. ‘ZA’ served almost seven years in jail for rape in Romania and was also wanted for a driving offence in Bucharest when he absconded to Britain.

Britain’s woefully lax borders, dysfunctional human-rights regime and activist judiciary are putting the British public at an intolerable risk of harm. What does a sex offender have to do these days to get himself deported?

@GrumpyOldNurse and much they know what proper old looks like, bloody fools.

Always with the old insult to women, it's pathetic. I'd give them something to squeal about!

https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/celebrity-news/jk-rowling-message-haters-prepares-35014212

It isn't hard on social media to find posts describing Rowling as "old". One X user tweeted on April 6: "I'm convinced JK Rowling is just the nosy old bird who hates everyone in the neighborhood and does nothing but complain."

Another said: "Starting to think the reason that @jk _ rowling looks rough for her age is due to how toxic her mentality is.Being an awful person is so draining on the body and one look at her haggard appearance proves that. How is a 59 yr old billionaire out here looking like she's pushing 75".

Others – all from within the last 24 hours – describe the author as an "old hag", an "old lady shouting at clouds…", a "bitter washed up old c*", an "old witch" and a "disgusting washed up old hag".
