What the petition asks
Conduct an immediate, independent, forensic, and transparent investigation of grooming and rape gangs in the UK.
Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all involved parties – politicians, police, councillors, bureaucrats and other aiders and abettors of these heinous crimes.
Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all involved parties – politicians, police, councillors, bureaucrats and other aiders and abettors of these heinous crimes.
Recent public documents demonstrate that there is an endemic and rampant problem of child grooming and rape within the UK.
This is not compatible with the law abiding values and nature of this country. We cannot condone these crimes.
A root cause analysis must be done, starting with an independent, forensic, transparent investigation, to make sure that these practices are eradicated and are never allowed to resurface.
No punishment should be deemed too severe for any involved party.
