Richie is joined by Raja Miah MBE.
A review has found that children in Oldham were failed by the agencies meant to protect them from sexual abuse. The independent inquiry was set up after allegations circulated on social media that Oldham Council was covering up what it knew about grooming gangs in the town. Investigators said there were structural flaws in Greater Manchester and the council's systems which were meant to safeguard children. They found no evidence of a cover-up.
Raja Miah has briefed successive UK PM's and Home Secretary's on counter-extremism. He has also worked for Oldham Council and once headed up educational trusts. He received an MBE for his services. Raja has written a series of articles on the exploitation of girls in Oldham. www.recusant-nine.com.
In January 2020, Raja told The Richie Allen Show that senior officials in the Labour controlled council in Oldham, were covering up child grooming by Asian gangs, in order to protect the party's control of Oldham Council.
He came back on today, to share his reaction to the report that he says vindicates him, but doesn't go far enough in exposing what has really been going on in Oldham.
