Trevor Phillips is a black man and a well-known public figure in the UK. He has been a writer, television presenter, and for many years was the head of the Commission For Racial Equality, and then the chairman of its successor, the Equality and Human Rights Commission. He has long taken a dim view of Islam and has been accused, as a result, of “Islamophobia,” a charge he rejects. Now he has given an interview to Times Radio about the Muslim grooming gangs, that he insists only victimized girls who were white.

Award-winning broadcaster, writer, and former politician Sir Trevor Phillips has said that Muslim grooming gangs have targeted “tens of thousands” of White children across Britain, describing the abuse as “industrial” in scale and protected by political fear.
Speaking to Times Radio, Phillips said the ongoing grooming gangs inquiry has been hindered by authorities’ reluctance to confront the link between race and sexual predation.
“What’s coming together here is a really horrid combination that nobody really ever wants to talk about — the intersection of race and sexual predation,” he said. “Let’s be honest, a lot of this is bringing those two things together in an unpleasant way.”
Phillips accused successive governments and local Labour councils of failing to act for fear of inflaming community tensions. “The government clearly never wanted these two things to be put together,” he said. “Much of this took place in areas run by local Labour councils, and the authorities who ought to be watching over this — stopping it, monitoring it — did nothing.”
Both local and national governments, and above all the police, failed for years to address the grooming gangs. Phillips says that had attention been paid, so that the Muslim sexual predators would have been identified and arrested early on, the authorities would have faced charges of “racism,” and that was something they wished to avoid at all costs, including the terrible cost borne by the victims as the grooming gangs continued their squalid sexual abuse of vulnerable “white girls.”
He said that, unlike other forms of child abuse, these crimes were not hidden. “The difference with this grooming gangs thing is that everybody knows. It happens in public. The girls are first attracted by young men from within those communities — flash cars, cigarettes, drugs — and then they’re passed around amongst older men,” Phillips said.
Drawing on decades of reporting on child abuse, he added that the victims were deliberately chosen “because they are White and because they are outside the community of the groomers.”
Phillips says that one reason the predators chose the victims they did was “because they [the girls] are outside the community of the groomers.” By that he means “they are not Muslim girls.” But he still can’t bring himself to say that word — “Muslim.”
Phillips, who won a Royal Television Society award for a 1988 documentary on pedophiles, said this form of abuse stood apart due to its vast scale and the complicity of public institutions. “These people know that they are protected,” he said. “They’re protected politically, by social workers, by local police, because everybody says we don’t want to ramp up tensions in the community.”…
Arresting such people, all of them Muslims, would lead their coreligionists to charge the police with “Islamophobia” and “racism. ”And as all the horrific details came out, the English would also be full of rage, in their case justified, because it was their daughters who were targeted, not just because they were “white,” as Trevor Phillips argues, but even more importantly, because they were not Muslim, came from troubled backgrounds and sought affection, and thus were “easy meat” for Muslim predators.
At a press conference with Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage on Monday, one rape gang survivor, Ellie Reynolds, told journalists, “It’s taken the media decades to recognize grooming gangs that are coming over and raping our children because they are White.”…
Again, even the victims do not recognize that being white is only part of it. Even more important is that they are non-Muslims. That is the sine qua non. No Pakistani grooming gang targeted “white” girls if they were also Muslim.
Trevor Phillips has broken the taboo. A black man, he’s not worried about being called a “racist” for accusing the grooming gangs of preying exclusively on “white” English girls. He’s right about that. But now he must go further, and state that the predators are all Muslims, and they prey only on non-Muslim girls. Let the heathen rage; that truth must come out. |
