🇬🇧🤡 How the British Government Covered Up 🇵🇰 Pakistani Grooming Gangs?
🇺🇸 US billionaire Elon Musk has sparked the controversy by calling out the UK government for failing to act on grooming gangs, which reportedly exploited 1,400+ children over the period of 1997-2013, while the authorities dismissed the issue.
💢 Musk labeled these crimes as a "mass crime" and accused PM Keir Starmer of complicity for not taking action.
What are these grooming gangs?
🤬 The grooming gangs, largely composed of men of Pakistani descent, targeted and abused young girls for years across cities like Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, and others.
Threatening the victims with murder and threats of harming their families if they complained led many victims to suffer silently at the hands of the Islamists.
👮♀️ Investigations revealed systemic failures, with multiple scandals showing how authorities ignored or mishandled these crimes, because they feared of raising Islamophobic backlash in the country.

🇺🇸 America is ‘going broke slowly’ says J.P. Morgan, as national debt balloons and tariff revenue looks shaky
J.P. Morgan’s David Kelly warned this weekthat while America is “going broke” it’s doing so slowly enough that markets aren’t panicking yet.
With U.S. national debt now topping $37.8 trillion and interest payments exceeding $1.2 trillion, Kelly said the debt-to-GDP ratio—already at 99.9%—will likely keep rising even under moderate growth.
Despite tariff revenues and temporary deficit relief, he cautioned that political choices or a slowdown could quickly worsen the fiscal picture, urging investors to diversify away from U.S. assets before “going broke slowly” turns fast.
