Hey, VIP members … it's your U.K. correspondent here with more from across the pond. I had to check that this was genuinely the official account of the U.K. Home Office … "the lead UK government department for immigration & passports, crime & policing, homeland security and protecting vulnerable people" … and not some parody account.
Townhall's Amy Curtis reported for us back in January of 2025 that the Home Office was announcing that it was going to crack down on grooming gangs.
Grooming gangs across the UK will be rooted out and brought to justice. pic.twitter.com/zfLBzKG5o3

As Curtis also reported, just two weeks prior, the Labour Party Labour had voted to block an inquiry into Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s conduct as the head of the Crown Prosecution Service while investigating the Oldham child grooming scandal.
Shabana Mahmood took over as Home Secretary last September, and now, the Home Office is sounding downright based. The Home Office promises to investigate the grooming (rape) gang scandals with a laser focus on and will "explicitly examine the role of ethnicity, religion and culture." Does that mean they can finally admit that these grooming gangs are mostly Pakistani migrants?
The grooming gangs scandal is one of the darkest moments in our country’s history - where the most vulnerable were abused and exploited by evil child rapists.

The independent national Inquiry will now begin its work to uncover how these crimes were allowed to happen and root out…
The post continues:

… failure wherever it occurred.
The Inquiry will be laser‑focused on grooming gangs and will explicitly examine the role of ethnicity, religion and culture - including how institutions responded.
There will be no hiding place for the predatory monsters who committed these vile crimes.
I have become so jaded I literally assumed this was a parody home office account at first.

But pleased you’re *finally* admitting the depth of this travesty. The question is, will you admit the cultural nature of it? Because until you do, this problem won’t stop.
See? I wasn't alone in thinking this was a parody account.
Was your account hacked? You’re supposed to espouse radical Marxist, woke ideologies.
— Bad Kitty Unleashed 🦁 💪🏻 (@pepesgrandma) March 31, 2026
Yes, please do a thorough investigation. We need to find out which ethnicity, religion and culture is capable of such things. For now, we don’t know.

This is for real? Wow.

How any politician voted against the rape gang inquiry is beyond comprehension.
— Gus Naylor (@GetAngus) March 31, 2026
It is a total dereliction of duty, care, compassion and humility.
Absolutely shameful and disgusting.
UK Home Office first tweeted about 'grooming gangs' in April 2023 — after years of scandals where authorities failed victims over fears of 'racism'.
— Linette Paille (@LinettePaille) March 31, 2026
They've posted just 13 times total on it since. Now in 2026 they're launching another inquiry (that'll take years).
I'll believe it when I see it that the inquiry will "explicitly examine the role of ethnicity, religion, and culture." That's the reason it's been swept under the rug for years.
But wait, there's more!
On the same day, the Home Office posted that it wasn't going to waste police resources on policing social media.
Police time will no longer be wasted investigating legal social media posts, freeing up officers to patrol the streets and tackle real crime.
— Home Office (@ukhomeoffice) March 31, 2026
By scrapping Non‑Crime Hate Incidents, we are balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech.
Over recent years, guidance has failed to keep pace with the digital age and has led to officers being called out to people’s homes over insults and routine arguments.
— Home Office (@ukhomeoffice) March 31, 2026
New measures announced today, will introduce a new system that will prevent police from recording lawful free speech.
— Home Office (@ukhomeoffice) March 31, 2026
Forces will continue to ensure that reports from the public, which may lead to genuine harm, get the right response.
So they're going to stop sending police officers to your home if you post that you're sick of seeing more Pakistani flags than English flags? For real?
Hollow words unless you let everyone out of prison that's there for social media posts.

Will all of the people arrested for longer sentences than foreign rapists be released from prison or will they be left to rot as the political prisoners they are? pic.twitter.com/bz1xNBaBuq

I have lost my job at the Swansea council because of this arrest. You owe me my fckn job back you pathetic lunatics. https://t.co/tqiMHMuJcv

Does that mean you’re going to free everyone who got arrested for mean words online, and clean the records of everyone who got “detained” for their opinions on the internet? Will you be compensating them?
— Ian Miles Cheong (@ianmiles) March 31, 2026
Everyone arrested and sent to prison for this bullshit, should have their records wiped and compensated. People took their own lives because of this bollocks. You should be ashamed of yourselves for how you treated concerned British citizens
— SOI media 🇬🇧 (@MediaSOI) March 31, 2026
The fact that it was ever even a thing is fucking disgraceful.
— Kron (@Kronykal) March 31, 2026
I still find it unreal that these posts went up today.
Holy shit Labour is so cooked that they actually started pretending to care about real crime

Pretending being the operative word.
