Rochdale Grooming Gangs/ Maggie Oliver

I agree. Tenacious and inspirational.

I started to support the foundation when this wonderful woman set it up 5 years ago.
I get regular news letters informing me of what’s going on.
Did anyone hear the young victim speaking on news at 1?
She is being abused now in Rochdale and the police won’t do anything.
I fail to see what this look at me Andy Burnam show was about. Little has changed.

The police have apologised, ! ! !

Oh well that's all right - except it's NOT!!
Unbelievable situation. Those poor girls

I am reading the transcripts, they were seen as difficult women, one was described as difficult to work with. We should really learn from this in terms of who to listen to.

I've heard Maggie Oliver speak several times on TV. She's a strong woman of principles. It's pretty scary that this happened at all and that those poor girls (who are no more than children) were ignored. It's worrying that there was no one to turn to when they needed help.

This was a scandal that was brought to public notice by dramatization. Shocking that this is the only way to get things done.

I find in general that —men— people are afraid of ‘difficult —honest— women’

Oh dear I thought the lines crossed stuff out 🙄

As GBNews has just said “what is truly shocking is that Maggie Oliver tells us this is STILL going on - as is the fact that there are 96 men walking our streets in Britain tonight who have been involved in these shocking incidents’.

It beggars belief doesn’t it?

Maggie Oldham should be given an honour for all her hard work on this issue. It has taken 12 YEARS to produce this report. I hope Mayor Andy Burnham keeps behind this now.

*Oliver - not Oldham.

I hope Andy Burnham keeps behind this now
Like he did when hundreds died at Mid Staffs hospital.

Oh dear. 😮

We don't watch GBNews but she was on one of the other channels saying that the same mistakes are still being made. That is really worrying. Well done to Maggie Oliver but it seems to me that we shouldn't be relying on bulldog types to get such terrible things looked at.

Remeber being told we are all 'equal before the law'....???

She really should. People like her and the sexual health nurse are gold dust and brave in the face of The Machine.

I would kick out the perpetrators Insist that they go back to their country of origin which is Pakistan and Afghanistan. And take away their passports so that they can never return .
It makes my blood boil. How dare they come to our country and abuse our girls !

It seems that the Rochdale crimes against young girls are still happening. I had hoped that this was over obviously it is not. Its a very sorry state of affairs.

Most of them have the UK as their country of origin.

Maggie Oliver wrote a book called Survivors which is in our Audible library so it is free to members. I much admire this determined woman. I find it incredible that the Police and the Council have still not properly investigated this awful crime so although some men were prosecuted there are others carrying on in Rochdale continuing heinous crimes. I have always respected Andy Burnham and I do hope he gets involved in putting a stop to this dreadful crime against young girls.

Maggie Oliver is so deserving of recognition for all she has done to support and help these vulnerable girls. She is a true hero in my book.

And you know this how?

Was the ‘difficulty’ that some of the girls refused to take advice or change their behaviour patterns? Should they have been imprisoned for their own safety, in an imperfect world where bad men do exist? It’s easy to take an over-idealistic attitude to these cases. But does it help to close down the discussion by crying ‘Victim Blaming!’?

I can’t believe Maggie Oliver has not yet been recognised. 😩
