The Rochdale grooming gang scandal is not just a localized issue; it reveals deep-rooted failures within the police force. Maggie Oliver, a former detective with Greater Manchester Police, recounts her experience of joining the investigation in 2010, only to realize that the proper efforts were not being made to address the dozens of abusers and the victims. A recent official report confirms that the police did not allocate sufficient resources to tackle these crimes, raising questions about their fear of being accused of racism. The lack of involvement from local MPs and the media's limited coverage contribute to the perpetuation of these abuses. The focus on London-centric issues often overlooks the severity of the situation in other parts of the country. Oliver suggests that it may take an ITV drama or a high-profile exposé to bring the true scandal to light, just as the post office scandal was revealed. #jameswhale #maggieoliver #rochdale Click here for more from TalkTV http
