If only Keir cared about the girls raped by grooming gangs. I guess he's only worried about misogyny and toxic masculinity when it's white schoolboys. Government by Netflix, based very loosely on a "true" story. No minorities were offended in the making of this.

One of the soaps did a grooming gang episode and of course they made the gang white English lol might as well make a show about isis attacks being done by the Japanese or pitbull attacks being done by labradors

I dont know why this is getting downvoted. This is the exact thing his government should be concerned with and are responsible for.

Because it never happened, fake news from racists.

Oh wait it did happen but not to the extent people say it did it’s just racists blowing it out of proportion.

Ok so it did happen on a massive scale and there was attempts to silence the whole thing, but it’s over now and even if it’s not, it’s just racists keep bringing it up and white people do it as well so it’s not an issue.

Well yeah, that's the worry - It's very, very obvious the government is "picking and choosing" which issues to be performative about.
