When I first spoke out about the scourge of Asian men grooming and raping young white girls, the establishment tried to jail me. I was vilified and accused of being a hater. 

It was in 2004 that I was arrested after a speech I made about the Muslim grooming gangs scandal was broadcast on an undercover BBC documentary. The political class put me and my family through hell for telling the truth.

Grooming is finally in the news

Several police forces have investigations currently going on into gangs suspected of abusing young girls. The report into street grooming found more than 2,000 offenders who are suspected of attempting to lure vulnerable victims, often using drugs and alcohol, over the past three years. And these are just the ones that they are telling us about.

Behind this report are tales of sexual depravity and cruelty. The latest case that has been brought to court involved a white girl of 17 who plied two white teenagers aged 15 with vodka and drugs and then forced them into sex with gangs of Asian men.

Three men, brothers Amjad Hussain, 34, and Shahid Hussain, 37, and their cousin, father-of-four Tanveer Butt, 39, were all convicted of rape.

Ms Knight, now aged 19, sobbed as she was convicted of conspiracy to rape at Burnley Crown Court yesterday. I doubt whether the tears were for her victims.

The political class tried to jail me back in 2004, but now they echo my warnings. Children’s Minister Tim Loughton has suggested that closed Asian communities have turned a blind eye to child sex grooming by gangs of men.

Young white girls are seen as "easy meat"

He said criminals had escaped detection because of attitudes within their communities as well as political correctness and racial sensitivities of the authorities.

He said: “These young men are fizzing and popping with testosterone, they want some outlet for that… So they seek other avenues and see these young women, white girls who are vulnerable, some of them in care, who they think are easy meat.”

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

I'm really glad that this issue is now being taken seriously by the police and the courts. But how many young girls would have been saved if they had listened to me all those years ago? As a father, these thoughts make me angry: how many fathers have cried unnecessary tears these last seven years just because our governments preferred to vilify me rather than protect our children?

The establishment reaction of trying to cover up and persecute those who draw attention to uncomfortable problems shows what is wrong with our country. It shows why this country needs the British National Party.

If you care about your country, if you want to make our voice louder, please join us today. I am always prepared to speak the truth, and I will always speak the truth, no matter what is thrown at me.

Remember, the British National Party is the frontline in the battle to defend our people. Join me, join the British National Party and together we can make the difference.

Yours faithfully,

P.S. Although grooming is at last in the public eye, and is being taken seriously, the media is still ignoring the drugs that are associated with and go hand in hand with this crime. The heroin issue is a big problem, and is one that I will ensure that the media cannot keep ignoring. Join us, and make your voice heard – Our Children Are Not Halal Meat.
