By a margin of more than two to one, the British public believes the legacy media’s muted coverage of the United Kingdom’s grooming gangs scandal was due to political correctness. Over 43 percent of respondents to a poll by Friderichs Advisory Partners and J.L. Partners agree that “the media did not cover the grooming scandal because of political correctness,” with only 18 percent disagreeing. This consensus extends across all societal groups, including Labour and “BAME” (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) voters.
Trust in traditional media to cover the grooming gangs scandal, which involved gangs of mostly Pakistani-heritage Muslim men abusing thousands of mostly white working-class girls, is alarmingly low. Britain’s de facto state broadcaster, the BBC, only garners a “great deal” of trust from 14 percent of respondents, with nearly half (48 percent) expressing little to no trust. Newspapers fare even worse, with just eight percent having “a great deal” of trust and 58 percent distrusting them to varying degrees.
Even journalists credited with helping to blow the lid on the scandal, such as Andrew Norfolk of The Times, admit to dragging their heels on covering the story. “I didn’t want the story to be true because it made me deeply uncomfortable,” he later confessed.
“The suggestion that men from a minority ethnic background were committing sex crimes against white children was always going to be the far right’s fantasy story come true,” he added, recalling his “liberal angst kicked instinctively into top gear.”
Over six in ten Britons (61 percent) told pollsters, “it does not matter if it upsets people, media outlets need to
cover the grooming gang scandal”, against just 27 percent who said “it is damaging to social cohesion and race relations for media outlets to cover the grooming gangs scandal.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
