What is Sadiq Khan for? It’s a serious question. Does the Mayor of London actually give a damn about vulnerable young girls as young as nine being prostituted, trafficked, drugged and raped in his city? Or does he not? Like I say – it’s a serious question and one that has been asked of him NINE times in the London assembly and which he steadfastly refuses to answer. This is the man who’s forever banging on about the safety of young girls, yet he refuses to confirm, investigate or comment on claims that grooming gangs have been operational on an unprecedented scale in London for more than 20 years in a way that outstrips anything that’s happened in Rochdale or Rotherham.
Ex top (decorated) cop Jon Wedger has made horrific claims that girls aged between 9-14 were being sold in crack houses, being taken to hotels to have sex with builders working in London, taken to upmarket Arab restaurants in Mayfair where they’re traded for as much as £2,000. Wedger, a respected, decorated ex-cop claims he has names, times, dates places of these young girls – details which he gave to the Met Police and the 2022 Independent Inquiry into Child sexual Abuse.
Wedger claims he was told by the Met Police he would lose his job, his home and his children if he ever talked about what he’d uncovered.
Yet his claims are finally being taken seriously by Keir Starmer who has asked Wedger to take part in the Government’s upcoming inquiry into grooming gangs – which initially the PM didn’t want presumably because it would incriminate police, council officers even politicians.
Is that why Khan’s resisting? But if Starmer is taking Wedger’s claims seriously, why isn’t he? Is this useless little man seriously saying he didn’t know about the trafficking?
Because if he didn’t, he should be sacked. It’s his job to know if abuse on this scale is happening in his city. But worse, if he did know – and now he has been told about it many times – why has he STILL done nothing?
Why has he made no comment? Why does he continually dodge questions about it? NINE times he has refused to say if he knew these gangs were operating in London. How does the mayor of a capital city get away with that?
These are the actions of an irresponsible and dangerous man who should not hold the high office of Mayor of London. Jon Wedger’s claims MUST be investigated and the victims he’s talked about given a voice.
Trouble is the coward Khan point blank refuses to engage. When it’s mentioned he runs away mumbling it’s all “false”, it’s “malicious” and it’s “all politically motivated.”
So, is he accusing these poor girls of being liars? Is he saying they’re making up the horrors that happened to them? Or does he think if he just sticks his silly head in the sand like he usually does then it will all go away? Well, sorry matey – not this time.
And wouldn’t you think as a father of two young women Khan’s reaction to these revelations would be one of absolute horror? Wouldn’t you think he’d be desperate to find out what’s actually happened to these young women?
But no, he has wilfully blocked an inquiry and looked the other way. And just why would he refuse to react to Wedger’s claims? First, he’s a father. Second, he’s in charge of our capital city and has been for 10 years. Wouldn’t a responsible politician want to know if this has been happening on his watch?
Apparently not. And why could that possibly be when the lives and safety of little girls aged between 9-14 are at stake? Because I’ll tell you what it looks like. It looks like Mr Khan – I refuse to call him Sir as he doesn’t deserve the honour – is protecting his Muslim vote.
It looks like he’s turning a blind eye to the trafficking, raping and torturing of young girls because he doesn’t want to offend the Muslim community in London which three times has swept him back into power.
So, is him looking the other way while the lives of young girls are wrecked just about protecting his job, his position, his power? After Rotherham and Rochdale, we were all told this would never happen again.
We were told politicians, police officers and council officials would never again be allowed to hide the fact that Pakistani grooming gangs – or any grooming gang – were raping, torturing and abusing young girls.
So why is Khan refusing to allow an investigation? Why is he refusing to look at Jon Wedger’s evidence when Keir Stramer’s Grooming Gangs inquiry is going to?
What’s the point of a Mayor who refuses to protect his citizens? I don’t know why I ask this question about Khan because he has never protected London’s citizens?
Knife crime in London has rocketed by almost 60% in the last three years and is the highest of any European city. Reported rapes rose by 24% in 2022, sexual offences in Westminster have risen by 11% and shoplifting was up by 48% last year. There’s also been a meteoric 730% rise in e-bike and scooter crime over the past five years of Khan’s leadership.
Every year this idiot is mayor is in power life in London gets more dangerous. He’s happy swanning around the world (on the taxpayers’ dollar) pretending to be big and important yet back home people are literally dying on his streets.
So why would we expect him to give a damn about trafficked, abused young girls? But not only doesn’t he give a damn about them he’s insulting them by not giving them a voice or going after their prosecutors.
Which doesn’t just make him a crap mayor but a disgrace of a human being. The very least he could have done for those young girls is to investigate their horror stories. But he hasn’t. Because the Muslim community won’t like it.
How the Hell did such a man ever get to be knighted? Was it for Services to Himself? Because it sure as Hell wasn’t for services to London or its people.
Because not only doesn’t he give a damn about people he’s useless at every other aspect of his job. You’ve got all the crime stats. But his abject incompetence doesn’t stop there. Transport for London has been bailed out SIX times on his watch to the tune of billions.
He’s only built 2.8% of the houses he promised he would. Ulez has been a failure, and his departments are refusing to give out clean air data – presumably because the air isn’t any cleaner. If it was little Khan would be screaming about it from the rooftops.
Public transport is hugely overcrowded and doesn’t work. We are 22nd out of 25 for having worst 5G speed of any European country – shocking for one of the world most famous business hubs. Oh, and he’s made life Hell and cripplingly expensive for London drivers.
In short, he’s the worst mayor London’s ever had. But what’s happening now is insidious. He cannot and must not be allowed to silence or ignore the victims Jon Wedger has revealed.
They must all be heard and if Sadiq Khan still refuses to listen then he must be sacked and questioned by the police as to why. Trouble is he’s in charge of the police – so how the Hell are these women ever going to get any kind of justice?
