Denying Rotherham grooming gangs were mostly Pakistani is a ‘fashionable’ lie, Suella Braverman says

DENYING Rotherham grooming gangs were mostly Pakistani is a “fashionable” lie, Suella Braverman has said.

The Home Secretary compared “fictions” about groomers’ ethnicities in the scandal to claims that women can have penises.

She said critics of her “plain truths” do a “disservice to all of us working to combat racism”.

Letting loose in a Spectator article today, Braverman raged: “The ethnicity of perpetrators in a string of cases is the sort of fact that has become unfashionable.

“Like the fact that 100 per cent of women do not have a penis.”

Braverman’s comments are a dig at Sir Keir Starmer, who has faced ridicule for saying only 99.9 per cent of women do not have a todger.

She said: “If Keir Starmer now thinks sentencing guidelines are too lenient, he should speak to the Keir Starmer who sat on the sentencing council as director of public prosecutions.”

At PMQs yesterday Sir Keir defended his record as leader of the Crown Prosecution Service and claimed he put away thousands of evil criminals.
