Farage calls for inquiry into grooming gangs at conference
Nigel Farage has renewed calls for a national inquiry into grooming gangs, criticising the Jay Review as inadequate.
Speaking at Reform UK’s North West conference, he claimed a targeted investigation was needed into what he described as “deeply racist” crimes.
Farage said grooming gangs, “predominantly of Pakistani origin,” targeted white working-class girls and that understanding the scale and motives of these crimes was crucial to stopping them.
