Health Secretary Wes Streeting has indicated that the government is open to collaborating with Elon Musk to address the issue of child sexual exploitation.
The UK has been shaken by the revelations regarding a grooming scandal in which numerous groups of Asian men, primarily from Pakistan, have been linked to the rape and torture of thousands of underage British girls in various towns in the north of England.
Musk, who has voiced strong opinions against illegal immigration, has been vocal about the scandal, describing it as "state-sponsored evil." He further asserted that Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who held the position of head of the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 to 2013, “was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN,” demanding not only his resignation but also criminal charges for failing to achieve justice.
In a recent interview with ITV News, Streeting acknowledged that “some of the criticisms Elon Musk has made… are misjudged and certainly misinformed.” Nonetheless, he expressed that the UK’s Labour government is “willing to work with Elon Musk who I think has got a big role to play with his social media platform, to help us tackle this issue.”
Moreover, Streeting noted that “political correctness was able to get in the way of going after the perpetrators of these serious crimes,” asserting the government's commitment to preventing future incidents.
The grooming gang scandal, which refers to widespread child sexual exploitation, was primarily exposed through cases in Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford. Investigations have uncovered a history of systemic abuse that has persisted for decades, with estimates suggesting that over 1,400 children were exploited in Rotherham alone from 1997 to 2013. In one particularly shocking incident, police apprehended a father who attempted to save his daughter from a location where she was being raped.
As the disturbing details emerged, several British media outlets condemned law enforcement for their "cowardice" and for trying to downplay the scandal to avoid accusations of racism and to stave off the growth of far-right sentiments in the UK.
