I was surprised to see the words "grooming gang" in a BBC story. Member of Parliament and leader of Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe, noted in a lengthy post how the BBC completely ignored his Rape Gang Inquiry Report.
The BBC has issued an official explanation on why it has failed to cover our rape gang inquiry.
— Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) June 30, 2026
'Complex choices' are made for editorial and practical reasons.
These choices 'should not be taken as indicative of bias.'
Their words.
But the BBC were very quick to cover…
The post continues:
… malicious complaints against our inquiry, in an attempt to smear our efforts? They were then forced to later apologise about how they covered the story.
So either the inquiry is worth reporting on, or it's not.
They can't pick and choose.
We're told 'complex choices' are made, meaning that efforts to uncover the industrial rape of young girls is not near the top of the list.
Let's take a look at a few stories on the main BBC news page, right now...
'Osaka pays 'love and respect to Japan' in Wimbledon kimono'
'Why £15 durians are being sold at half price - or given away for free'
'We had packed lunches every day for 10 years and retired at 40'
Are these stories more important than the rape gang inquiry?
I think not.
You cannot hate the BBC enough.
I expect no fair coverage from them, I've stopped expecting it.
But the BBC is funded by the British people.
Their continued suppression of our inquiry is a disgrace.
As we say here in the States, you can't hate the media enough. And Lowe asserts that you can't hate the BBC enough.
That's why I was so surprised to see the BBC report on the release from prison of the ringleader of a Pakistani grooming gang.
Government 'cannot deport' grooming gang ringleader https://t.co/7tZBoax8XH

We in the U.S. can't seem to deport MS-13 gang members or Hamas supporters, so we know the feeling. The BBC reports:
The ringleader of a notorious Rochdale grooming gang is set to be released from jail this week and cannot be deported, his victims have been told.
Shabir Ahmed, 73, known to his victims as "Daddy", had dual British-Pakistani citizenship but was stripped of the former following his conviction in 2012 for multiple counts of rape and sexual offences against girls.
…
Ahmed must initially live in supervised accommodation 24/7 and will be subject to an "exclusion zone" centred on Rochdale.
The papers published online said Ahmed cannot be deported back to Pakistan due to provisions under the Immigration Act 1971.
The act says because Ahmed arrived in the UK before 1973 and lived in the country for at least five years before his deportation was considered, his removal is barred.
Following the news, one of the Rochdale gang's victims told how she has been left feeling "scared for my safety".
The girl, who was sexually abused from the age of 12, told BBC Newsnight Ahmed was well-known in Rochdale, Oldham and Middleton.
"Even if he is not in those areas, he still knows people and could contact them, which makes me feel unsafe," she said.
"At the end of the trial, we were told they would all be deported once released, but not one of them has been deported.
"There are always false promises."
The U.K. has nonsensical rules about noncitizens that need to be changed, just like we do.
Shabir Ahmed was convicted for 30 counts of child rape.

The idea that he could soon be walking the streets of Rochdale again is abhorrent.
If the law doesn't allow us to deport people like this, then the law is clearly wrong. The Government must change it. https://t.co/Upc1qwweCy
It can, Parliament is sovereign it can pass or repeal any law it chooses. It just doesn't want to.
— Christopher Talbot (@Lord_Talbot64) June 30, 2026
Oh yes it can! Just a little change of the law, and they are going home.

Revoke his passport and put him on a plane to Pakistan.

There's no 'cannot' only 'will not'
Britain shows itself to be an utterly failed state of bureaucratic nobodies. Seems we can overlook thousands of girls being raped for decades but we can’t overlook some destructive nuance in the law to deal with the offenders. Shame on you Britain. Utterly repugnant state
— Lisa Farbrengen Esq (@EsqFarbrengen) June 30, 2026
They don’t want to, seems too difficult, fuck the lawyers, put him on a plane and drop him off, parachute or not, I’m flexible.
— Half Dead Hacker (@HalfDHacker) June 30, 2026
Translation: Government CAN deport this paedophile. They choose not to because they don't want to upset a certain voter demographic.

Then the government isn't fit for purpose.
— Ricky Smith (@rickyaardvark) June 30, 2026
Our Republican-led Congress can't get the SAVE America Act passed — the Labour Party certainly isn't going to rush to correct this injustice.
It gets worse:
Ahmed's case follows a similar legal battle by two other gang members, Qari Abdul Rauf and Adil Khan.
Both were stripped of their British citizenship in 2022 after fighting a long legal battle which went all the way to the Court of Appeal.
Both invoked their human rights under article eight of the European Convention on Human Rights - the right to a private and family life - to avoid deportation.
The Home Office has not said if either man had been deported.
The European Convention on Human Rights respects the rights of rape gang members more than it respects the rights of young girls not to be raped. What a useless organization.
