Well it's not an official inquiry, but if it's led by Rupert Lowe then I don't think it'll hold back

But one reason it seems particularly noteworthy with regard to the trade is that it's being crowdfunded, and has a target identical to the Delta/Veezu VAT one - £500,000

So after a fortnight, and with no new pledges for over a week now, the Delta/Veezu thing is still stuck on £230

After 10 hours or so, Lowe's crowdfunder has raised £180,000 - and it went up £4k during the few minutes I was looking at stuff and typing this out

Anyway, if like me you're interested in that sort of stuff and the trade angle, this could be interesting...

I'm not sure £500,000 will get far, but can't knock the fella for at least trying.

Shame he has fallen out with Farage, but ego's will be ego's.

So if this is a privately crowdfunded enquiry is it officially sanctioned by the government ?

If not he'll have a near impossible job getting people to cooperate surely?

This could ultimately amount to nothing

(I drafted this in the early hours in response to Sussex, but it's actually more on point in response to Edders, in my opinion at least )

No, £500k doesn't sound a lot for this type of thing, but it's maybe a bit like a box of paperclips costing £10 in the public sector that you could buy for 50p in Home Bargains

And I'd guess a lot of the people involved will be giving their time for free...

And maybe Rupert's pal Elon Musk will chip in some small change out of the petty cash, which would probably bankroll several different inquiries After all, the subject does seem to be a favourite topic of Musk's

Of course, it may all fall flat, and in many ways would be little more than a glorified 'special investigation' in the press, or whatever, because no-one can be compelled to attend, and anyone with something to hide would simply shun it.

On the other hand, even if it's not an official inquiry, it could instigate other stuff, and maybe even an official national inquiry itself.

I mean, Charlie Peters' grooming gang documentary on the Reform Channel a couple of years ago...er, I mean, GB News...was apparently instrumental in the last Conservative Government instigating changes to the pursuit of some of the perps...can't recall the details, but something to do with all the Operation Stovewood stuff, I think. Anyway, in Charlie Peters' own words a few months ago:

So obviously Lowe's inquiry will be limited in scope (assuming it actually happens). On the other hand, even assuming an official statutory national inquiry was called, would it be any more likely to get to the truth? In some ways, probably not

Interesting what he says here about the crowdfunder and the sources of money. So he expected big donations behind the scenes, but most of it is actually smaller sums donated directly to the crowdfunder.

Which is kind of what I was expecting with the Delta/Veezu VAT crowdfunder. But, as far as smaller sums directly to the crowdfunder are concerned, the VAT crowdfunder is an embarrassment, basically.

So unless the VAT crowdfunder is the obverse of the Rupert Lowe one - ie big money behind the scenes, but little in the way of small sums directly to the crowdfunder - then the whole thing will be a dismal failure.


Why I’m crowdfunding a proper inquiry into the rape gang horror

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/0 ... rape-gang/

We will not be deterred by allegations of ‘racism’ – we will hound down the truth, however vile it may be

Firstly, I would like to start with an apology. In January, my former party, Reform UK, made a number of bold promises stating that they would launch and hold an inquiry into the rape gang scandal. That never materialised. In my view, that is not how politics should be conducted, particularly on an issue of such magnitude. I pushed behind the scenes, hard, but I was unsuccessful. For my role in that, I apologise.

Farage and Reform used it for political capital, but failed to deliver any real action – their pledge gave so much hope to so many millions. To renege on that, once the headlines had moved on, is politics at its very worst.

When I make a promise, I keep it. On March 12th, I said I would launch an inquiry into the rape gangs, and that is exactly what I am doing. On Friday, I launched a crowdfunder. I expected maybe £50k over the first few days, requiring a big push behind the scenes with large donors.

How wrong I was.

As of Monday morning at 6.33am, £381,530 has been raised from 11,985 supporters. Very few large donors, I have made the joint-second largest contribution alongside my friend Ben Habib and a few others. But predominately, this is decent British men and women all over the country chipping in five, ten, twenty pounds.

I am hopeful if enough powerful evidence can be accumulated, it may be possible to launch a judicial review to force Labour’s hand on a state inquiry. I will of course use any Parliamentary tools at my disposal to use the findings to push the Government to finally act.

Of course, we won’t have statutory powers, but only the state can authorise such an inquiry and evidently, that is not happening. If individuals have nothing to hide, then they will show and make their case.

We have a choice. Sit back, do nothing and hope something changes? Labour have said no to a national inquiry, and Labour have an enormous majority. What Starmer says goes, sadly.

The Government will do nothing. There will be no inquiry. Nothing will change.

That responsibility now lies with us – we have to try. I want to be able to say I have done everything within my power to shine a light on the many horrors, that still continue today.

The mass rape of young working class white girls is a rotting stain on our country’s history. Young girls beaten, abused, gagged and raped in their many thousands, in towns and cities all across the UK. This was done predominately by packs of Pakistani-background rapists, because they knew they could.

We sacrificed thousands of vulnerable girls on the altar of multiculturalism. Fed them to the wolves, because we didn’t have the courage to do what needs to be done. Our gutless political class is too cowardly to even start to process what has truly happened.

This is what the inquiry will do. We will not be deterred by baseless allegations of ‘racism’ or ‘Islamophobia’ – we will hound down the truth, however vile it may be.

A qualified panel is currently being assembled, including a victim representative who was groomed and raped for many years herself. We will fund a legal advisory team to support the panel, and all hearings will be live-streamed. Every pound spent will be transparently published.

In January, it looked like something might finally change for the victims, justice might finally come.

In the end, nothing did. This inquiry is the only way we can change that. I hope you will consider supporting it.

IF IF IF

and if not then an opportunity for the government to permanently sweep it under the carpet

This is keeping, quite rightly, the issue of the rape gangs at the top of the agenda.

It mustn't be fudged. Too many people did some horrendous actions against too many young girls.
