I am jumping back into the fray earlier than I expected because I have been hit by three powerful pieces from two of our Terf heroes and one piece from Matt Goodwin ( who is very much supportive of Terfs) in the wake of the Casey Report on the grooming gangs scandal ( See: https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/we-will-not-lie-down-part-1 ). Like Matt Goodwin I now intend to leave this alone in the main pending the inquiry starting. I am also adding in a very moving piece from New Zealand by the parents’ of ‘Vanessa’.
We are now in Terf Month ( to counteract Queer Month) and we are featuring great speeches on the theme of women’s rights. Please keep those suggestions coming in. Please send a link if you can. Thanks to those readers who have already sent in great suggestions
Barry Wall’s piece is so powerful that I am choosing it as tonight’s Terf Month speech. It pertains not just to children’s rights but also to women’s and gay rights. Barry believes that a lot of this may be because of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Some of the linked pieces below may be behind a paywall.
The Grooming Gangs Scandal
I understand that, online, people are reminding us of how Sir Keir Starmer, many Labour MPs and others were, until recently, calling those of us who were calling for a national inquiry ‘far right’!
Kellie-Jay Keen looks at the issue on her substack.
Why is Pakistan a no-go topic in British politics?
Why British authorities won’t confront the cultural conditions behind grooming gangs, cousin marriage, and creeping religious separatism.
Jun 17, 2025
For years, the British public has been told to look away. Don’t connect the dots. Don’t notice the patterns. To do so is to risk being called a racist, a bigot, or an “Islamophobe.” But after decades of institutional cowardice and moral paralysis, isn’t it time we asked the uncomfortable questions?
The Pattern No One Dared Name
The case of the so-called grooming gangs, pakistani muslim paedophile rape gangs, is now tragically familiar. In Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford and other towns, groups of men — predominantly Pakistani Muslim men — targeted vulnerable white girls for sexual abuse on an industrial scale. Yet the authorities, including police and social services, looked the other way.
They did so not because they didn’t know — but because they did. Baroness Louise Casey’s 2025 national audit of group-based child sexual exploitation found that in two-thirds of cases, police omitted ethnicity data entirely, even when patterns of abuse were obvious. The same pattern was documented in the 2014 Rotherham report by Alexis Jay, which stated clearly that most perpetrators were British-Pakistani and most victims were white. The fear of being branded racist trumped the duty to protect children. The truth is EVERYONE knew the whole time.
On her You Tube channel, KJK returns to the subject and refers to all those MPs who recently voted against a National Inquiry!!
Matt Goodwin deals with it on his substack and demands apologies from Keir Starmer and the others who branded us all far right:
New Zealand - Vanessa’s Story.
I have recently reported on this tragic story most recently here:
https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/we-will-not-lie-down-part-2?utm_source=publication-search
On the Resist Gender Education substack, Vanessa’s parents have now published their very moving thoughts on what happened and how Vanessa was let down by the authorities.
The tragic loss of our daughter Vanessa
A statement from her parents
Jun 17, 2025
Press release 17 June 2025
It is with deep sadness that we, as the parents of Vanessa*, speak out against the sensationalised portrayal of our daughter’s life and death in a recent article by David Farrier. We are heartbroken by the story that has been shared publicly and deeply disappointed by the way Mr Farrier has weaponised Vanessa's distress and struggles with complex mental illness.
We now are aware that New Zealand Herald journalist David Fisher is writing an article to amplify this further.
First and foremost, we loved Vanessa. She was our only child and her death has all but destroyed us.
We acknowledge that there was tension and conflict between Vanessa and us. We discussed this in detail with Ruth Hill from Radio New Zealand. The challenges in our relationships were painful and it is appalling that the details of the most devastating aspects of our family life is being used by activists to paint us as bad parents.
Children often become very angry with their parents when we have to assert our authority and make decisions we consider to be best for them. We made Vanessa eat when she did not want to, we took away her access to the internet when she was using it to take part in pro-anorexia forums, we took her to doctors and psychiatrists when she wanted to be left alone with her eating disorder, and yes, we had her hospitalised when she was dangerously ill due to that disorder. She was very angry with us. Doing the right thing by our child was often the very hardest thing.
We object to the portrayal of Vanessa’s struggles with anorexia, autism, and gender as though they were simply the result of our lack of understanding or ignorance. To be clear, Vanessa was not “lost” due to her 'gender identity'. Her anorexia, a long-standing and deeply painful struggle, was the cause of her death. She was 30 kilograms when she died. That is what killed her.
Parenting is never easy, but when your child is autistic, has anorexia, and is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, the challenges can feel overwhelming. As parents, we have always done our best, but the complexity of Vanessa’s needs and the trauma she carried meant we often had to be the 'bad guys' advocating for her best interests when her mental illness was telling her to harm herself.
We urge those who have shared Vanessa’s story to focus on the real issue: that a 17-year-old died of starvation in the care of the state. It was a systemic failing of our public service, along with her school. They facilitated alienating her from the very people who loved her and put her before all else - her parents. Our experience should sound the alarm about the way parental rights are quickly disregarded by our government and school system. In all but a few sad circumstances, family and parents are best placed to advocate for their children and ensure they get the care they need. We were alienated from our child and then those who drove that alienation left her to die.
We are disgusted that David Farrier and Paul Thistoll have taken it upon themselves to publicly attack us, labelling us as "bad" parents. These two men have no understanding of our family, no insight into the personal struggles we've faced, and most importantly, no connection to Vanessa. They didn’t know her, and they certainly didn't witness the heartache we endured in trying to support our child. To have our parenting criticised by individuals who were never part of our lives, who never walked in our shoes, and who had no firsthand experience of the complexities of Vanessa's struggles is not only unjust but deeply malevolent. They have no right to use our grief as a platform to push their own narratives or to vilify us in ways that are frankly cruel.
Mr Farrier and Mr Thistoll are two opportunistic men who are picking over the tragic remains of our daughter's life like vultures.

The reaction to Vanessa’s parents illustrates perfectly how ideology gives birth to evil. Heartbreaking piece from brave people.
The hypocrisy on display from politicians, particularly Labour ones, regarding the inquiry, is sickening. They’re already saying that the Civil Service is exempt from scrutiny- so that lets off all the people who’ve been covering this up for decades. I was right not to trust Labour, they’ll do everything in their power to distract from their own complicity. We must not let them park their ugly backsides on the moral high ground. In the words of KJK ‘fuck them’.
Thanks Dusty, very powerful pieces.
I think Barry is right; EDI & the panoply of Queer Theory acolytes enabled the guardrails to fall off child safeguarding & advanced both the trans evil and the grooming gangs.
KJK is right, too, to hold both middle-class feminists & labour politicians in contempt; they are shameless in their holier-than-thou fake concern. I am ashamed of my country that it could sink so low.
