Another grooming gang convicted today, this time in Bradford. Nine men, pictured above, with names like Mohammed, Ali and Saeed. Imagine our surprise? To be fair, one of them was called 'Kieran Harris', but if you can tell him apart from the rest you'll have done well.
Bradford City Council responded...
"The Safeguarding Board will look closely at this case to see if there are any lessons we can learn that could help us keep young people safer".
Bradford City Council spokesperson
Of course it goes without saying that the council is run by Labour, so empty words then. Funny how they're always Labour councils where these gangs operate isn't it?
