[0:25]different show tonight. I wrote a piece in the Gateway Pundit two days ago, and it was an overview of the legal case that I have been involved in pulling together. And tonight I'm going to bring on, as pre-records, I spoke to Lord Pearson of Rannock earlier. You'll hear his input in the case. I spoke to Liz, obviously the person at the centre of the case, the very brave survivor who I've got to know over the last five years, and Robin Tilbrook, who has been a guest on numerous times. And he, of course, is the legal mastermind, the person who has spearheaded this in terms of the legal side. So I want to touch on all three of those different angles to this case. And this is quite a key case because I think it's a blueprint for hundreds of other cases, really, hundreds of other cases across the UK to go after these rapists, not only to give these girls financial justice, but to bankrupt the perpetrators. We have had well over 500 individuals charged, sentenced, and locked away for these crimes. And this is the first of its kind in terms of getting financial justice for these girls. But I

[1:47]Want to just touch on this. Obviously, it's a stain on British history. And it is something that has been brushed under the carpet for many, many years. Let me bring up, this is just the front of the article. First, private prosecution of a grooming gang rapist, a blueprint for justice. And then I talk about, obviously, the situation in the UK and then how sea girls were actually protected. The crazy part of this is that you have the white people. English communities have, by and large, not stood up for these girls. But yet in the Sikh communities, they set up these vigilante groups that actually would look after these girls. We didn't do that in the English communities.

[2:42]And then later on, Julie Bindell wrote in the Sunday Times. And then of course Andrew Norfolk in 2012 on the front page of the Times and his front page story blew this up and made it into a story that the British public were aware of. Over 500 prosecutions, 500 individuals sentenced to this in over 75 trials in over 40 towns across the UK and the head of one of the policing, it was Northampton, said that this is happening in every town across the UK, except, of course, London, because Lee Khan tells us that actually it's not happening in London. Make of that what you will. Maybe London is the perfect city in the world. I don't think so. I think it's been brushed under the carpet there also.

[3:33]So we've had these all across the country and I want to touch on this legal case, and the link to this article is in the description. It goes back to 2020, whenever Alan Craig, my co-founder at Hearts of Vogue, and Baroness Cox, who, along with Lord Pearson, has been the most vocal person in terms of critiquing Islam and standing up for those who are oppressed under that, especially women. They went to visit Liz in Rotherham. Heard her story and were, not that they'd heard this story before, but again, and also when you meet someone face-to-face and hear it, it's raw.

[4:16]And they came away wanting to assist in setting up a legal process so she could get financial justice for that. Justice, I don't know how you get justice in terms of this issue, But, so we talked to her, Alan and the Baroness came back from visiting her in Rotherham. I chatted to them both. Immediately, I talked to Lord Pearson. And within days, Lord Pearson had pulled together the money to start this legal case. Without the money, it would have remained just an idea, a vision, a hope. So we started that. That was in August 2020. The money came together beginning of September 2020. And then we reached out to Robin Tillabrook. We had all known Robin, and Robin also had been trying to start such a case before. So we engaged with Robin, pulled together a conversation, and after that conversation, we realized this was possible. Well, we had the funding, we had the girl, the survivor, and we had now the legal ability to move ahead with it. So that was everything.
Hearts of Oak
 
[5:33]Then in October 2020, we're kind of started this. We think this is all good. October 2020, Liz learned that Asker Boston, her rapist, had been moved to an open prison. She hadn't even been told. Now, a known prison, this is only serving 32 months of his sentence. He was moved to known prison. A known prison means, hey, you can go home for weekends. You can apply for that. And she was petrified. Did that mean that he would be coming to Rotherham, harassing her? She was living in fear. And, of course, the Ministry of Justice, they gave a bland apology because they didn't really give a damn.

Robert Spencer: Sharia in America - The Reluctance to Confront Islam and How Europe is a Wake-Up call

Robert Spencer discusses his upcoming book, "Holy Hell: Islam's Abuse of Women and Infidels Who Enable It," focusing on gender-based violence in Islamic contexts and Western complicity. He notes a slight increase in discussions about Islam in America, but highlights ongoing censorship and backlash. Spencer contrasts his rational activism with more confrontational styles and expresses skepticism about politicians addressing Islamic ideology. He examines misconceptions around Islamic financing and grooming gangs in Europe, linking these issues to Islamic teachings. He concludes by asserting that Islamic scripture, not geopolitical factors, drives aggression against the West, advocating for more open discourse on Islam's societal implications.
