i know this has been said already but nothing makes my blood boil like the fact that savannah steyn who played teenage laena would’ve been a perfect casting choice for adult laena. laena was only 26 when she died. she’s supposed to be three years younger than rhaenyra and alicent, both of whom — as we’re reminded time and time again — were children being groomed by adult men. but we’re casting adult actresses to play laena so i guess she’s mature enough and not a victim of grooming too?

Today, a number of prominent journalists criticised my suggestion that the UK media class has failed to sufficiently cover the rape gangs scandal, which will go down as one of the biggest scandals in our history.

So, I decided to take a closer look at the data.

Trust me, you'll want to read until the end.

First, the boring bit. How did I do it?

I used something called Lexis, a database researchers use to search content across UK newspapers.

Every good researcher out there knows how to use it so they can duplicate my work and check.

One of my critics today said my use of "grooming gangs" in my initial numbers was misleading because much of the coverage in UK newspapers uses "grooming gang" not "gangS".

OK then, let's use that.

And let's just look at articles that are specifically about this scandal and don't just mention it in passing.

What did I find?

Let's look at the years 2011-2025 because before that, even though the rape gangs scandal goes back decades, there was NOTHING in UK media.

Nothing.

They didn't touch it AT ALL --despite widespread rumours pushed by groups like the BNP and EDL.

2011 is a crucial year because it's when renegade and HERO Andrew Norfolk, at The Times, started to write the first early pieces, despite abuse & harassment.

First, let's look at ALL UK newspapers.

In 2011-2025 there were 4,659 articles specifically focused on the "grooming gang" phenomenon.

Wow.

Sounds a lot right?

Remember the number.

"Grooming gang" = 4,659

But now let's compare that with how much coverage the media class gave to other scandals and terms

"white privilege" = 6,146 "anti-Muslim" = 17,152 "post office" and "horizon" =20,274 "extreme right" = 21,252 "Islamophobia" = 23,461 "Greta Thunberg" = 22,717 "expenses scandal" =25,585 "Stephen Lawrence" = 29,808 "anti-racism" = 34,484 "Windrush" = 35,515 "George Floyd" = 38,824 "Black Lives Matter" = 59,338 "Grenfell" = 71,422 "Britain" and "racism" = 75,693 "Net Zero" = 141,367 "far right" = 231,540 "racism" = 382,069

I could go on.

I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Relative to other scandals and amid a strong liberal bias in parts of the media class, the mass rape of young, working-class white girls & women just wasn't a priority.

Yes, there were newspapers that broke the story and pushed it, like the Times in 2011.

But even there, the 440 articles built around "grooming gang" between 2011-2025 is dwarfed by, say, the 2,868 on "Islamophobia", the 3,202 on Stephen Lawrence, the 2,603 on George Floyd, or the 5,524 on BLM.

My point is not to bash individual newspapers but to say that relative to other race-related stories and debates, the rape gangs scandal --ARGUABLY THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN OUR HISTORY-- has received very little coverage from the media class.

I'd give you the numbers for liberal progressive papers like The Guardian/Observer but frankly they're absurd.

Oh ok then.

Between 2011 and 2025 the Guardian had 113 articles on the grooming gang phenomenon compared to 3,325 for "Islamophobia".

What about the BBC?

We can look at BBC News 24 and BBC Radio 4.

There were 357 specific mentions of the "grooming gang" scandal in BBC News/Radio 4 transcripts.

Meanwhile, there were 7,537 for "George Floyd", 3,219 for "Stephen Lawrence", 7,416 for "Black Lives Matter", and 2,259 for "Islamophobia".

You get the picture. I won't keep going

But what I will say is this. These girls were never a priority in Media Land.

Relative to other scandals they were at first ignored and then downplayed.

Too many of the middle-class, Oxbridge-educated, socially liberal if not radically woke progressive elites who control the parameters of what they think is our national "debate" routinely steer clear of scandals and issues that violate tightly-controlled taboos around immigration, multiculturalism, "diversity" in all its forms, and which are backed up with alarmist narratives about the "far right" and "Islamophobia" to warn others off from asking difficult questions or challenging the elite consensus in Westminster and London.

This HAS to change.

As I wrote in my Substack this morning, @elonmusk has done Britain a favour by forcing us to reckon with a truly NATIONAL scandal that has for too long been ignored and pushed to the side by political, media, and cultural elites in wider society.

This past week, we have been pushed into a new era in which millions of people up and down this country are either learning about the rape gangs crisis for the first time or hearing shocking new details they did not know before and can scarcely believe.

And millions of people are now asking some enormous questions. How did our country let this happen to our children? Why was it overlooked? Why did so many people stay silent? Is it still happening today? What can we do to stop it? Who is pursuing the truth in media? Who is naming and shaming? And why does the UK media class fall over itself when a single American man dies in Minneapolis while seemingly not giving a shit about the thousands of CHILDREN who have been abused, raped and harassed here in Britain?

The people have tuned into this scandal, in other words. They have taken notice and they are watching. The only question now is whether the media class has bothered to notice and will actually get on top of this scandal and push it to front of the agenda or continue to ask ridiculous questions like it did for much of today, deflecting from its glaring failures to instead obsess about Elon Musk.

Find the truth and tell us the truth.

That's your job.

==

The UK's media class has been covering for Islamic rape gangs for decades. Now that it's in the worldwide spotlight, they're scrambling to deflect and distract from the fact they facilitated this atrocity by branding everyone who noticed it as "racist" or "Islamophobic" or "far right."

Elon Musk is not the villain. Neither is he the hero. He's beside the point. Writing hit-pieces about someone who dared to pay attention to a scandal, rather than writing about the scandal, shows you how far legacy media has fallen, and why they don't deserve anyone's trust.

Re: 11 and river - my biggest problem with this storyline is that for this relationship to work, 11 should be equally as obsessed with her as she is with him. Otherwise it’s simply her having her whole life revolve around him and him being flattered by it. We are told (not shown) that they are great loves but we don’t see the journey of him falling in love with her, or even longing for her. What we actually see onscreen is that the sort of fixation/“i can’t stay away from you no matter how hard i try” yearning that we are meant to believe the doctor has with river, he actually has for Amy. hell, in season 7 he basically throws River under the bridge with the weeping angel because of Amy. It’s Amy who, for all intents and purposes, is 11’s great love (co-signed by matt smith), and it’s weird that the show keeps pussyfooting around it and trying to distract us with forced married couples.

they try and smooth the whole thing over by throwing in some pet names and flirting but the foundation of their relationship was never solidly built and it rings hollow. like it’s actually embarrassing how little character river has when you take the doctor out of the equation.

the 11amy failmarriage parallels!! amy is being forced into marriage because she feels like it’s the correct step in her journey to grow up and assimilate into society, even though she can never fully actualize the person that she wants to be, either with or without the doctor. and eleven has been literally manipulated by time itself into marrying river song in some fucked up predestined cosmic horror type of way.

as a swiftie im blocking people who are too parasocial about taylor rn 💀 i dont care if you think im a toxic person or whatever but shes obviously dropping the til dawn tracks as a PR stunt to clean up after her mattshit insane boyfriend and herself

i also dont care if you think im jumping ship or not believing in her enough . as an ex Dream (mcyt) stan that mentality was literally taught to me by the larger fandom and i still feel its linger effects on me as a person 💀💀💀

my friends and Twitter mutuals and i were all groomed into defending an adult man against legitimate criticism im NOT doing it again for taylor . NO ONE is worth doing this for.
