I thought his contempt was around “reporting” on some of the accused regarding grooming gangs.

As for Elmo presenting things correctly, well amongst many basic constitutional misunderstandings he’s opined on today is the idea that the King can just dissolve Parliament, without advice, thereby making his failure to ‘rescue’ us by doing so some inexplicable failing of Royal duty.

I didn’t say he was a folk hero.
The grooming gang situation needs a proper national enquiry, looking at all the various ones.
Rotherham, Halifax, Huddersfield, Telford, Rochdale, Oldham and any and all others.
This is what has sprung this. Jess Phillips, Minister for Women and heckled and berated at her election by Muslim men has rejected government support for such and enquiry.
Quite disgusting really.
