The publication of new reports on the "Raping Gangs" in the United Kingdom has revived criticism against British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, for his management as head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013.
During the five years that Starmer was director of the British Prosecutor's Office, authorities did not act with the necessary decisiveness against networks of child sexual exploitation operating in various cities across the country. More than 13,000 Muslim immigrants in the UK were not prosecuted despite committing sexual offenses against girls or white women in the country and instead were only required to apologize to the victims.
This case demonstrated that, under Starmer's administration, public institutions favored administrative approaches over criminal processes to avoid being labeled as "racist". These allegations are part of a political debate on illegal immigration and the Labour Party that has been dividing British society for years.
The controversy intensifies because many believe that the British state under Labour has shown a much harsher attitude in other areas, including crimes related to social media posts, speech deemed as hate, or public order disturbances.
