Rejected petition We demand a full nationwide public enquiry into pedophile rape gangs.

We demand a full public enquiry which not only targets the perpetrators but also targets those people who were in positions of trust who were either complicit or turned a blind eye to the abuse of children.

More details

Five local enquiries do not go far enough. The scale of this scandal demands full accountability across the whole country. They need to have statutory powers to compel ALL those involved to give evidence and anyone who has been involved should meet the full weight of the law. This should also include deportation of ALL perpetrators who hold foreign citizenship without the right of appeal. Any country who refuses to except back these individuals should be sanctioned until they do.
