00:00You've got a very powerful piece in the mail today saying,

00:04I uncovered the grooming gang scandal 15 years ago, was vilified by the left,

00:08now I've been entirely vindicated, but you say you fear this is all still going on today.

00:13I know it's still going on.

00:15In fact, I've been told in the last fortnight it's still going on.

00:21And since I wrote about it in Rotherham, I broke it in Rotherham,

00:25and went back to the same girl who was by then in her 20s.

00:30And she took me into Rotherham, the centre of Rotherham at night

00:35and pointed out the gangs milling around, girls near the bus stop, all.

00:43But, you know, obviously you weren't, I wasn't going in to top floor flats

00:49behind takeaways and that kind of place

00:53where it was obviously physically going on.

00:56But you could see that there were men milling around,

00:59there were girls still out at night at, it was the winter, 7 at night,

01:04in grim areas, you know, grim areas that had become very grim and very edgy.

01:10And she said it is definitely still going on.

01:12And you could see that these were girls of not legal age, schoolgirls.

01:16Yeah, schoolgirls.

01:17What happens, they pick them up, really the big place they pick them up

01:21is at the school gates and I believe the schools are culpable.

01:25I think the schools should be brought in on this.

01:29Why didn't they warn the kids?

01:31Why didn't they have classes saying,

01:34look, there are predators out there on the internet,

01:38white, English speakers, very dangerous.

01:42Don't go and meet one, don't go into the chat room.

01:44But also at the school gate, there's a guy,

01:48a handsome guy in an open-top BMW who says,

01:52I'll take you home for a pizza.

01:54Equally dangerous.

01:55When you said to the schools and the agencies and the charities there,

02:00they told you you were racist to even suggest this.

02:04And this is the crucial distinction.

02:05And I remember screaming at them.

02:07But I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

02:16But we did Wikipedia things right there so much higher

02:19than that.

02:21Of course, this is the permit behind the hotel.

02:23So you can't get good,

02:25you can't get ready,

02:26I'm so sorry for...

02:28But you can't jump from this.

02:29It's also good,

02:30you can't get good in the room,

02:31this is where they speak.

02:33And then I can hear it.
