Phil is joined by campaigner and writer Julie Bindel, the first person to investigate the grooming gang scandal that has so shocked Britain over the last two decades, and which seems to be continuing. A lesbian rights activist and life long campaigner against violence aimed at women and girls, Julie expected that politicians and state agencies would react quickly the the fact that gangs -mostly of men of Pakistani origin - were targeting, abusing and even ending the life of vulnerable children on a huge scale. But instead she ran into opposition and criticism.


This is a story about people desperately wanting to look the other way, make excuses and dismiss a class of teenage girls, girls generally from the fringes of society (the kind she came into politics to help). Julie has been part of it right from the start and is still pressing for the accountability and openness that has been lacking for so long.
