What we need to do now is for everyone to be heavily invested so that we can get the convictions for the previous victims, the ones that are still ongoing. What we need to see is more we need to see more from the Government, more political will, and more people to understand that children across this country are being groomed, trafficked, tortured and raped every single day.She thanked GB News for their work in covering and exposing the crimes of grooming gangs: I thank GB News, especially Charlie Peters and many of the whistleblowers who have put their heads above the parapet and actually spoke about it.
