Billionaire Elon Musk quickly jumped onto the subject, attacking Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government, and rekindling a long-smoldering debate in the United Kingdom on what is often called the “Grooming Gangs” scandal.

But what exactly is the scandal? Why did it take so long for the systematic exploitation and rape of thousands of girls to be exposed?

Why are Musk and others taking aim at the current prime minister, given the scandal emerged more than a decade ago? And what have investigations revealed?

For decades, children, specifically poor white girls in various towns in northern England, were targeted and groomed by Pakistani-heritage men, while—as later investigations, court cases, and reporters revealed—local officials turned a blind eye to the abuse due to fears of being labeled racist or destabilizing community relations.

But it took decades to come to light.

In the 1990s, rumors began to emerge that men of Pakistani descent living in northern England towns were involved in raping children.

For example, the parents involved in the Coalition for the Removal of Pimping (CROP), later renamed Parents Against Child Exploitation (PACE), participated in a 2004 documentary that claimed white schoolgirls were being groomed for sex by Asian men in Bradford.

The result was “Edge of the City,” which was due to be screened on Channel 4.

However, it was pulled hours before airing, after claims the British National Party wanted to exploit the situation and the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police saying it might trigger race riots.

Groups such as The National Assembly Against Racism also lobbied against the documentary.

Member of Parliament Ann Cryer, representing Keighley, publicly raised concerns about the abuse of two girls in her constituency in 2002.

In doing so, she became the first public figure in Britain to speak out about allegations of “young Asian lads” grooming underage white girls in West Yorkshire.

She was shunned by her party, which ran the country from 1997 to 2010, and she said no one wanted to know, despite holding “constant” meetings with West Yorkshire Police and social services.

Vitamin D deficiency: These 12 bizarre symptoms might shock you

By Rhoda Wilson on January 10, 2025

Dr. Eric Berg highlights 12 symptoms of vitamin D deficiency that people may not be aware of.

Why are the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency not common knowledge, especially in temperate regions of the world where the Sun’s rays are weaker and, particularly during the winter months, there is less direct sunlight that reaches the ground and even less that reaches our bare skin?

Is it because effective vitamin D treatment competes with Big Pharma and will interfere with their profits?

Introduction

Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988. His use of “Dr.” solely refers to that degree. He no longer practices chiropractic. He now focuses on health education through social media, specialising in healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book ‘The Healthy Keto Plan’ and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals.

Dr. Berg discusses vitamin D deficiency and its symptoms extensively. According to Dr. Berg, vitamin D deficiency can lead to a variety of health issues, including bone pain, low immunity, depression, high blood pressure, inflammation, asthma and poor sleep. He also highlights less commonly known symptoms such as nightmares, restless leg syndrome, skin disorders like psoriasis and eczema, and even mood disorders like bipolar.

Dr. Berg explains that vitamin D deficiency can be caused by a lack of adequate sunlight exposure, certain medical conditions that reduce intestinal vitamin D absorption and the use of medications that can impair vitamin D metabolism. He emphasises that vitamin D is crucial for calcium absorption and bone health, and its deficiency can increase the risk of musculoskeletal problems, autoimmune diseases, mood disorders and certain cancers.
