"FYI Telford, for example, was Tory run for a time" (11/07/25 09:33:00 Gareth Sinclair)Gareth Sinclair, Telford and Wrekin Council has been Labour controlled since 2011 (no overall control in 2015 - 2016). The then Council Leader Shaun Davies, now Telford MP since 2024, stated in a letter, dated 22/09/2016, to the then Prime Minister and Home Secretary (Theresa May and Amber Rudd respectively) that there is no need for an inquiry into child sexual abuse in the town."We do not feel at this time that a further inquiry is necessary.""We have had three inquiries into this issue in 2016 and understand that the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse chaired by Professor Alexis Jay OBE will assess the extent to which we have learned lessons.""We are not sticking our heads in the sand or sweeping it under the carpet. We feel that good progress has been made in tackling this issue in Telford in recent years."A local investigation began three years after this (in 2019), led by Tom Crowther KC, and unveiled the harrowing extent of sexual exploitation across generations in Telford, overlooked by those in power. Despite prior assumptions that Telford would feature, the final exposition of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), or Jay Inquiry, did not mention the town.The council, Telford and Wrekin, continued to resist calls for a local probe until a Sunday Mirror investigation in 2018 led to a reversal of stance. After the Crowther inquiry reported back in 2022, Mr Davies expressed his remorse to victims on behalf of the council. He described the report as "harrowing" and said: "I had no sense of the scale over the three or four decades that the report's covered."Before the 2024 general election, the then Conservative MP for Telford, Lucy Allan was among the few who dared to speak the truth, stating that vulnerable white girls were being “routinely” traded for sex. Reports suggested up to 1,000 victims, yet officials fought to prevent any inquiry.The public service "Establishment", that includes sanctimonious moralists types that one often sees in the Labour Party, would downplay the issue. The Chief Constable of West Mercia Police warned Allan not to be a “troublemaker” like Sarah Champion MP (Lab.), who had spoken out about grooming gangs.To date, The FACILITATORS OF BABY P's MURDER PARTY, aka the Labour Party seemed more concerned about safeguarding their own known voter base for their own ego and power. STANDING UP FOR VULNERABLE GIRLS (AND BOYS) AGAINST GROOMING GANGS SEEMED OF DISTANT SECONDARY IMPORTANCE TO THE LIEBORE LABOUR PARTY.
