Justice for kids abused by grooming gangs means proper sentences and deportation, not just a quick fix to make politicians look tough.

I see those kids every day at school, love. Little ones, some of them not much older than my grandkids. You just want to wrap them up and keep them safe from everything. When I hear about these gangs, honestly, it turns my stomach. It’s not just about the kids getting hurt, it’s the whole community feeling less safe, parents worrying sick about their bairns.

And then you hear politicians talking about deporting them. Well, yeah, obviously. If you come to our country and you abuse kids, you should be out, no argument. But it feels like that’s sometimes all they offer, just a quick headline. What about the proper justice for the victims here? What about making sure these monsters get a proper sentence first, for what they did on our doorstep?
