Tim Stanley's comment that the gang rapes happened years ago shows that he is out of touch. He ought to consult Charlie Peters, who could apprise him of the reality that it is still going on in cities and towns all over the country.
Indeed so. To say that Labour's view that this all happened ago was a reasonable one was an extraordinarily crass remark. Burnham's call for a public inquiry, echoed later by a couple of labour MPs are a "crack in the dam" of government opposition to it. Much will depend upon how many more Labour MPs widen the crack and much will depend here on how many of them, to mix my metaphors, have "skeletons in their cupboards" from earlier careers. Many of them will have been Labour councillors and/or officials in areas where, and at the time when, many of these horrors took place.
The grooming gang thing isn't happening now? Hasn't happened in a decade? That's news to me and I'd love to hear more clarification. Or is it because it has been ignored and not investigated in a decade?
Look up Maggie Oliver her charity is still seeing victims today. It hasn't gone away it's happening now. Every day we let more potential sexual criminals into our country. Most asylum seekers come with this mysoginstic attitude. If anything it's probably increased
Is it not reasonable to think that those who have been tortured & sexually abused by these gangs have become 'far right' as a result of that treatment, & of not being believed and treated as problematic?
I doubt that the horrors they underwent had any impact upon their political orientation. Burnham's call for a public inquiry, echoed later by a couple of labour MPs are a "crack in the dam" of government opposition to it. Much will depend upon how many more Labour MPs widen the crack and much will depend here on how many of them, to mix my metaphors, have "skeletons in their cupboards" from earlier careers. Many of them will have been Labour councillors and/or officials in areas where, and at the time when, many of these horrors took place.
It looks like Trudeau has gone, but he actually said he intends to resign and has since prorogued the Canadian government ro prevent an election being called. Canada is in real trouble.
It's commendable that journalists at the Spectator are using this as an opportunity to self reflect. Political journalists are not doing the job they are supposed to.

I hope the forces for justice prevail and MPs on all sides can demand an inquiry. This is a disgrace whoever the ethnicity or religion of the perpatrators or victims. Commensense and decency must prevail.
Having been born in 1960 to a family of self employed working class artisans I was brought up to believe that freedom was the most important thing. Having a Jewish mother I also took a keen interests at an early age with regards to how things such as Nazi Germany, Stalin's Russia and Zedong's China came to pass. However, I was shocked to discover by my late teens how few thought the same way as myself and where happy to call themselves socialists. Most if not all of them seem to have no idea what socialism actually was very much including my freshly indoctrinated school teachers. Knowing what socialism had already done to the world as well as some of my mothers family, the poverty creating horrors of successive socialist governments during my formative years only added to my sense of foreboding. Then Thatcher turned up and a sense of hope and growth returned to these isles but a return to socialism always seemed just one more election away. Eventually the inevitable happened in 1997, and it has been all downhill again ever since. The country that gave the world freedom, property rights, democracy and free market capitalism seemed to have permanently forgotten how to do any of them. But worse still, most of the British people themselves did not seen to want them, or certainly not enough of them did. The masses LOVE socialism because they prefer being dependant slaves especially if everyone is as enslaved and dependant as they are. They did understand what socialism is after all, it was me that had been idealistically conditioned into believing that no one in their right mind would actually want to be a mind controlled slave to a Satanically inspired fascist state. Far too many are quite prepared to have large numbers of their fellows financially destroyed or indefinitely locked away in interment camps as long as it is people not like them. Which is almost entirely those who still insist on having minds of their own and some marginal degree of independence. If we were still in any doubt, the events surrounding Covid should remove any that stubbornly remain. I regretfully came to the conclusion by 2008 that most people are too incompetent, shallow, specialised, thick or just plain lazy to survive on their own or prosper without somehow thieving from either their private or public sector slave owner, and they know it. Life is simply far too hard and seemingly complicated for the majority as they come to the world hopelessly ill prepared for its slings an arrows. As a defence they either resort to obtaining as many authorised certificates of indoctrination as possible or effectively give up before they even start. Either way they will seek a dictatorial father figure to tell them what to do, and a welfare state mother figure to provide a soft teat for them to sucker from. Therefore, I now give up, however much it grieves me to both admit and say it. The people get EXACTLY the government they so richly deserve. As such they fully deserve Sir Kier Starmer and everything that goes with him and his party. Perhaps the most conclusive way to know that you are nothing but a disposable slave is when your daughters are being raped and you either can't or choose not to do anything about it? The state has nearly all of us by the balls, so why are we surprised to find them being regularly, systematically and deliberately squeezed so hard? I genuinely hope that the people suffer accordingly as no population so thoroughly deserves and needs to do so more than that of the UK.
Whenever i tune into The Spectator broadcasts, i am always struck by how few of those who work for The Spectator, and most of those they invite on to the programme ( with the honourable exception of Douglas Murray; a rare exception) are not traditional conservatives at all, but London, Metropolitan liberal luvvies, who are sometimes given to masquerade as conservatives. As a consequence, and as someone who is an individual mix of traditional conservative and classical liberal values ( like most Englishmen, even if they don't perceive it ...'By their fruits shall ye know them" ), i do occasionally buy the magazine, but would never subscribe until ( a perhaps vain hope! ) the editor finally recognises and truly reflects those cherished values.
Please can you explain why Kier and other front bench abstained from the demand for an enquiry. Also, how would that be felt by the Labour mp’s who were expected to vote against it?
Starmer called anyone who is upset about young white english girls being repeatedly raped and abused by Pakastani men, police and other authorites not protecting them, far right which is absolutely rediculous. Starmer has annoyed practically the whole country. We are not far right..
Labour doesnt want t invedtigate or pubkic inquiry into rape gangs by Pakistani men because as Raja just said there are many Labour people corrupt and yet have been promoted. We also need to see how bad Starmer was.
Just a point of clarification, rising yields are very bad for holders of debt! (Asset value falls and they receive no increase in the coupon). It is only good for buyers who perceive a discount, but at the moment the risk of default may outweighs the returns! So in short all those who felt gilts were a low risk instrument were in my were in my view wrongly advised when the underlying is a spendthrift government underwriting a feckless society.
Shocked to hear of the European vulnerability wrt Trump's presidency. Our government should proceed very carefully and perhaps, knowing their student political tendencies, our people should be worried.
Seems to me that in Britain we currently have a great deal of power without accountability. Those in power like it that way so they deliberately set up enquiries which are incapable of holding the powerful to account for their decisions. Is there proof that assertion? Well it's circumstantial: it appears that enquiries NEVER hold anyone powerful to account for disasters in a timely fashion. The one exception (although certainly NOT in a timely fashion) is Paula Vennells of The Post Office (who, so far, has been shamed, but NOT prosecuted for fraud & causing the false prosecution & imprisonment of innocent victims.) On the Gideon Rachman interview: our Political Class needs to decide their priorities: is it attacking Elon Musk, or is it attacking the Rape Gangs & their enablers in our institutions? The more cynical amongst us may think they HAVE decided (& it ain't the latter option.)
That certainly seems to be the government's position at the moment. However, Burnham's call for a public inquiry, echoed later by a couple of labour MPs are a "crack in the dam" of government opposition to it. Much will depend upon how many more Labour MPs widen the crack and much will depend here on how many of them, to mix my metaphors, have "skeletons in their cupboards" from earlier careers.

Good God, the lack of ability and will to call these "Rape Gangs" is disgusting. I understand the term "groom" and what it means, however its an intential miss direct to show "nothing here" and try to save face. Imagine the BBC leading every nightly broadcast with the title "rape gang" instead of "grooming gang"? It would cause a fury to happen, and thats exactly what they want to avoid. Thankfully feminist britian saved thousands of brave and honourable Pakistani men from going to jail, sadly tens or hundreds of thousands of young prominently white girls paid the price. The people doing this probably just went back to raping their own kin ...
Some of it is a podcast... cameras need to be refocused on the person, not the mic. However, the conversation is what's important, but this is your omnibus of weekly talks... maybe it's useful, but for me, it's way too long... I have Red Letter Media to watch, you know!
I agree we need more of this great discussion
Thank you
Exactly
Yay, The Week is back.
Isn't it all re-release?
Delighted to see a longer format video from The Spectator, a real treat of enjoyable, common sense journalism.
Great news to see the back of another woke PM😄
Woke, woke, woke,woke! 🐕🦺
Soooo pleased ‘The week’ is back. THANKYOU

So pleased you restarted your a weekly show . I have missed your tv show since it was ended looking for it restarting so thank you.
Brilliant format! These were 4 great segments - and I enjoyed every moment.
Loving the format - have learned so much. Thank you.
The Uk and Australia, the last two woke islands left.
Interesting that you exclude NZ and also Ireland - arguably the most insanely woke communities on the planet?
Agreed though I might add NZ
Isn’t it time someone asked Starmer to define “far right” and explain why he thinks that label is justified when he applies it?
The grooming gang thing isn't happening now? Hasn't happened in a decade? That's news to me and I'd love to hear more clarification. Or is it because it has been ignored and not investigated in a decade?
Look up Maggie Oliver her charity is still seeing victims today. It hasn't gone away it's happening now. Every day we let more potential sexual criminals into our country. Most asylum seekers come with this mysoginstic attitude. If anything it's probably increased
Freddie, why has the Spectator stopped doing the Week in 60 minutes?
It's hard to push 60 seconds in 60 minutes ATM.... Let's ride with it.
Amy Wax is absolutely superb. What a wonderful courageous lady with enormous integrity
Excellent format of these discussions ~ ~ I can pick and choose with ease which parts I want to view ~ Excellent Thanks.
Brilliant effort guys. This is excellent content and I am so thrilled to see you booked in Amy Wax!
Highly illuminating and stimulating conversation between Freddy Gray and Gideon Rachman.
Is it not reasonable to think that those who have been tortured & sexually abused by these gangs have become 'far right' as a result of that treatment, & of not being believed and treated as problematic?
I doubt that the horrors they underwent had any impact upon their political orientation.

so glad and grateful the weekly is back! Thank you.
It's commendable that journalists at the Spectator are using this as an opportunity to self reflect. Political journalists are not doing the job they are supposed to.
It's disgusting that you can't even criticise a politician in the UK for doing her job properly without it being called "dangerous". Protected class.
This is listening to the viewers, kudos!

You cannot separate Chinese trade and Chinese politics. There are plenty of other countries to expand trade and manufacturing with.

Very interesting content!
How about tax cuts to encourage investments and public spending
Please can you explain why Kier and other front bench abstained from the demand for an enquiry. Also, how would that be felt by the Labour mp’s who were expected to vote against it?
Excellent! I was very disappointed when "The Week in Sixty Minutes" came to an end.
Surely the Spectator can acknowledge grooming gangs is an obscene politeness for the groups in question?
Starmer called anyone who is upset about young white english girls being repeatedly raped and abused by Pakastani men, police and other authorites not protecting them, far right which is absolutely rediculous. Starmer has annoyed practically the whole country. We are not far right..
31:50 the view of Labour, actually quite a reasonable one… really?
are we allowed to say man kind again now.
When he tries to be modest, his narcissism shines through!
James's smile at 1:30 says it all
Who's the fuzzy bloke behind that lovely microphone?
You can see why Spectator TV loves Amy Wax-throw her a question and just sit back.
Rat jumping ship should be in prison but he will get a top job and all the damage he has done
This was great, it was a real shame when the week in 60 mins stopped
Of course it wouldn't be a relationship of equals - we're not equal to America!

This is just a load of old clips strung together which we've already watches
Oh, it's Tim Stanley!
Uk case similar case as 1992 Ajmer.
The government took no action due to the fear of this peaceful community and world media.
somehow I expect the FT guy has been calling for escalation in Ukraine prior to lamenting the 1 million casualties
Maybe Spectator could choose a more appropriate pause in the programme to advertise the magazine offer instead of cutting people off mid sentence
