Britain's parliament votes against child abuse inquiry


Members of the House of Commons of the British Parliament in the majority rejected the proposal of the opposition Conservative Party to hold a national inquiry into mass cases of sexual abuse of underage girls in the north of England. This was reported by BBC News on January 8.
As a result of the parliamentary vote, 364 people voted against the Tory initiative. Only 111 MPs were in favor of the inquiry.
"Significant engagement with victims' groups shows that they do not want a national inquiry, they want action to ensure justice," said a spokesman for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The prime minister, along with Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenock, agreed that the pedophile gang scandal is one of the worst in the country's recent history.
The politicians' discussion ended with Starmer calling the Tory approach an attempt to join a trending topic just because others are doing so.
Earlier, on January 6, American billionaire Ilon Musk called the head of the British government Keir Starmer evil. This statement was made by the entrepreneur against the background of accusations against the UK authorities of covering up the crimes of gangs that were involved in mass rapes of underage girls.
Prior to that, on January 3, the head of the British Ministry of Health Wes Streeting offered American entrepreneur Ilon Musk to help the country in the fight against pedophilia due to his position as the owner of one of the leading social networks.
Earlier in the day, Musk called British Prime Minister Keir Starmer "complicit in the mass rapes" of girls by gangs in Britain while he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 to 2013.
