I hope the idiots like Lowe sit down and shut up now. But mostly, I hope the ultra radical filth who covered up these events in the first place are exposed and hounded out of society. Young people went through absolute hell, because their lives were deemed as less important than 'community cohesion' . It's a stain upon our country
I don't doubt there was a fair bit of that going on but I do also think people in positions of limited authority have a responsibility to themselves and others to act with morality. It consistently annoyed me how much the 'i knew but nobody would have listened to me' excuse has been used after previous scandals, most memorably for me was the Savile stuff. I don't think 'fear of being branded a racist' should be an excuse for not acting.

The likelihood is that the inquiry itself will be used as a political wedge issue for some time and that itself isn't helpful. I think a lot of people calling for it have a pretty clear idea of what they want it to conclude which sort of defeats the point of it in the first place because if it doesn't agree word for word with their opinion, it will be dragged through the mud as 'another cover up'.

Hopefully it is left to do it's work well and then accepted by the British public but I won't hold my breath.
