Prey: My fight to survive the Halifax grooming gang
London: John Blake Publishing, 2019
The main perpetrator [of the Rochdale grooming gang], Shabir Ahmed, said that Western society has trained these girls for him. In his view we allow immodesty, and he balks at the freedoms we give girls. He said that’s what made the girls lesser individuals and therefore ripe for him to pluck.
— UK Crown prosecutor Nazir Afzal [1]
One recent positive development for whites occurred in England’s northern rust belt: the suppression of the exploitation of young, impoverished English girls by groups of Pakistani grooming gangs.
The situation was first noticed as early as 2000, but the facts were confined to government reports nobody read. In 2003, healthcare workers at women’s health clinics noticed that many of their clients were very young English girls with Pakistani “boyfriends.” The girls had been raped after being plied with drugs and alcohol. The workers at the clinics started to map out relationships and discovered the pattern.

In 2004, white advocates in the British National Party remarked upon the issue. Afterward, these BNP advocates were brought to trial in 2006 for “inciting racial hatred.” Facts are stubborn things, though; the BNP’s white advocates were correct (as white advocates usually are). In 2010, Andrew Norfolk, a reporter based in Leeds, investigated the matter and published his findings in the prestigious newspaper the Times in early 2011. Norfolk’s article spawned a government inquiry and Pakistani grooming gangs across the north of England now face the long arm of the law.
Cassie Pike of Halifax
One of the victims, Cassie Pike of Halifax, West Yorkshire, published an account of her story in 2019. Pike’s troubles started with a dysfunctional family life. Her father was a drug addict — mostly marijuana. Her mother was terminally ill from Huntington’s disease. Her sister likewise did drugs. When Pike started to imbibe at a very tender age, none in her family stopped her reckless behavior.
It is worth noting that the Northern English slang in the book might throw an American off. Cigarettes are “fags,” Pakistanis are “Asians,” a person’s weight is given in “stone,” the bathroom is “the loo,” people in a Common Law relationship are “partners,” etc.
Pike is first raped at age 12 by an older Pakistani man. She didn’t remember the event, though, as she was too drunk. The Pakistani wouldn’t return her text messages and then shrugged the event off as “having sex” when she met up with the man much later. The abuse escalated. Over time, Pike is drugged or made drunk and raped by scores of men in appalling conditions. She starts to free herself from the situation after having a hammer held to her neck while being sexually assaulted.
A social worker she calls “Pete” is key to helping her break free. Pike had got on the radar of British social services as early as 2009, but no real help was provided to her until Pete showed up in 2011. Eventually, Pike is sent to a first foster home, where she continued to be abused. She didn’t feel welcome at the first foster home, and was too close to her abusers in Halifax to break free. On July 22, 2011, she was transferred to a foster family in a different part of England. Her cell phone was taken from her to be used as evidence. The loving home life and disconnection from her past life (through the cell phone confiscation) turns things around for her. She enters into a new relationship and has two children with her partner.
Important Concepts
Prey highlights some important concepts, especially to a non-English outsider. There seems to be an appalling abandonment of the Victorian moral force that made England so powerful in the past. During the nineteenth century, the industrial belt of England had full employment and plenty of innovation. Church attendance was high, and social reformers abounded. At one point eccentric English Lords — like Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury — spent their lives improving conditions.
This sense of duty and responsibility seems to have gone. In its place is negro worship and too much drinking. There are also drugs. British reports show that the rust belt of the Northern Midlands of England is the epicenter for drug abuse in the country. It is much like the American Midwestern Rust Belt — when the jobs vanish, the time is filled getting high.
Northern England is the epicenter for drug abuse in the country.
If one is continuously imbibing intoxicating substances, one is being a bad parent. There is no way to get around this fact. Marijuana might not make you mellow, but it might make you psychotic. Plus, one needs to be clear-headed when dealing with a teenager. They have many of the desires of adulthood, but little judgment. Being high doesn’t help an adult guide their child through this touch-and-go time. Had Pike’s father not been an addict, she would not have been abused. One also can’t lay down the law with a teenager that has a bad friend if one is drunk. Steering one’s kids away from “cool” but bad, unfortunate, and self-destructive friends is an important parental duty.
The story that Muslims are an abstemious lot is a lie. Pakistan’s founding father enjoyed scotch. Furthermore, marijuana use was and is very common in South Asia. All of the Pakistanis involved in grooming had experience using alcohol. I’ll also add that giving intoxicating substances to a different people is a form of racial attack.
I suspect that sexual exploitation on a large scale in England’s rust belt has been going on for decades. The independent film Rita, Sue and Bob Too (1987) is an important cultural marker in this regard. The film shows Pakistanis in a positive light and makes the exploited girls worldlier and older, but it hints at brewing trouble. Good art is often prophecy.
The pace of the affair is roughly the same as that of ethnic conflicts elsewhere. It took two decades for white Iowans to put the lid on Jewish exploitation in Postville. It took sixteen years before the problem was first noticed in an obscure government report until convictions happened in Halifax in 2016. Obviously, there was an issue with grooming before 2000, it just wasn’t noticed on a broad scale. The grooming by Pakistanis was probably at full steam by the middle of the 1990s.
America’s cultural transfusion of Dinduist ideas has been picked up by Pakistanis in England. One of Pike’s abusers called himself “Tupac.”
The critical people in this event were technocrats in the women’s health clinics set up by the Labour Party. They put two and two together and laid out a map for police to follow to destroy the grooming gangs. It wasn’t church leaders or “free market” libertarians that did the heavy lifting. Furthermore, while white advocates were right, they weren’t effective. They exposed the truth in 2004 and received ferocious resistance. It wasn’t until an upper-middle-class reporter started sniffing around that action took place.
I am uncertain of why this is the case, but it is a marker showing where we stand in society. Our ideas remain outside the norm. Prophets tend to get stoned — with rocks, that is. Furthermore, since the British government is on the case and “grooming gangs” are fully understood, white advocates should steer clear of involvement in these matters and seek a new way to make progress. We might just be getting in the way.
After reading this book I developed a great appreciation for Cassie Pike. She seems to have bounced back from a tough situation. Indeed, success isn’t what you do at the top, it is how you recover when getting to the bottom. It also took her several tries to get free of the situation.

Well, yes, but did the bnp’s exploding of the issue lead to the awareness that caused more established reporters to expose the grooming? Sometimes we have a greater indirect influence than we might realize. Recall all the dissident right memes and ideas that seeped into the trump campaign.
Not certain about Cassie Pike, but I know I read some of the grooming ‘survivors’ have had and are raising mixed race children. That is another and even more insidious result of the Pakistani sexual predations. Miscegenation is yet another route to White genocide.
***||| The story that Muslims are an abstemious lot is a lie. |||***- It is not a ‘story’. Islam explicitly forbids any use of intoxicants. Muslims are commanded to restrain themselves from drugs and other narcotic stupidities. Those who still misbehave and transgress are devil-worshippers.***||| Pakistan’s founding father enjoyed scotch. |||***- He spent most of his life in an irreligious ambiance. He appeared more Victorian-Edwardian than as someone who would pray five times a day. Yet this particular aspect which you highlight remains a deeply contested issue amongst serious historians. With all due respect, the article which you linked to substantiate the argument has no academic value at all. It is nonsensical.Still, if it is conclusively shown that he did enjoy certain spirits, it would still not demonstrate anything. His nationalist contributions don’t elevate him to a spiritual source or reference. The social life is governed by religious injunctions which carry more weight than any political leader’s words or conduct.Lastly, as for these rapists and molesters, well, they should’ve been killed, plain and simple.
Please don’t be ridiculous. I lived in London. I was born there. Muslims like nothing more than to drink while refusing to sell beer to kufr. Your book is about as useful as the Wakanda telephone directory.
Kindly re-read the comment. Since, apparently, you hold a PhD, I am sure you’ll easily grasp the substance of the argument once sufficient attention is paid.

Child sexual exploitation has nothing to do with the freedoms we afford women in the modern world.
It was not better, but far, far worse in Victorian England. After all, that’s what all those legendary Victorian reformers were so busy trying to reform.

Jack the Ripper was a jew from Poland. Its well established by now.
It was during the Victorian era that the practice of circumcising unconsenting boys began. This (apparently) was compliments of the old gal herself: someone talked her into it; she put her stamp of approval on it; had it done to her sons; and because most people are pretty stupid, they wanted to do what the queen was enthusiastic about. However, this is folklore and there are a few other theories as to why the upper crust in merrie olde England came to love the denaturing of boys so much. One theory is that Victoria came to believe she was descended from King David; aristocrats promoted the “British Israelite” ideology.
After 1900 the practice (except for aristocrats and royalty) declined somewhat, though the rate really went down after the National Health Service stopped paying for it in the late 40s. However, in recent years private circumcision clinics have sprung up. Just can’t keep a good thing down, can we. I imagine that muslims are using these services though I don’t know for sure.
So, my point, and I do have one, is that the torture of male infants and children is just one more example of the sexual depredation of children that was rife in England (and continues here). And don’t fool yourselves – irrespective of your ethnic background, restraining a baby or child while cutting its healthy sex organ is very much a sex crime, committed by people who are seriously unglued. “Health benefits” was the cover they used (and still do).
***||| …child while cutting its healthy sex organ is very much a sex crime. |||***

Circumcision removes the foreskin. It doesn’t ‘cut’ the organ.
If the foreskin (AKA prepuce) is not a part of the sex organ, I would very much like to know what it is a part of.
We don’t slice the tip of our fingers when we trim our nails.
Just as uncut nails trap bacteria and other harmful substances, an uncircumcised organ can also retain urinary and other bacterial material which may cause various health complications.
Fortunately, unlike the nails or hairs, the foreskin doesn’t grow back. It’s a one time procedure.
@Muhammad & Lexi.
We don’t slice the tip of our fingers when we trim our nails.
Just as uncut nails trap bacteria and other harmful substances, an uncircumcised organ can also retain urinary and other bacterial material which may cause various health complications.
Infant circumcision is the equivalent of ripping the entire fingernail off its nailbed, not a mere trimming of the nails. [Try it, Muhammad; I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as you enjoyed being circumcised.] Indeed, the first step in circumcising is to – literally – rip the foreskin off the glans, because the two structures are tightly fused together from birth. They slowly, naturally grow apart. You might want to read up on the physiology of the penis and all its normally occurring parts.
I remember a jew saying that the first time he saw the newly exposed glans of his just-cut son that it looked like a piece of liver. He was shocked and refused to have any future sons done.
As to “sensitivity” of cut men, some men who got cut as adults would beg to differ. However, the main issue is the the extreme pain of both the cutting and the healing period, even with the use of largely worthless attempts at pain reduction. The child’s brain is never the same. You look it up; I’m not doing your research for you. An equally important issue is that sex will never be normal. With that movable part gone, your attempts to have sex will of necessity be contrived and contrary to nature. But if that’s all a man and his partner know, hey, so what.
Can you eat without a tongue? Sure. You just can’t perceive the different tastes.
Can you hear with your outer ear removed? Sort of, but sounds are muted and strange, they say. Can you function without eyelids? Yes, but you’d have to wear a sleep mask at night and put drops in your eyes so they don’t dry out like the glans dries out without its natural cover. But should you have to live this way?
Time for you to do some raging and grieving for what was unjustly done. Until then, your list of excuses will only increase and result in a mental turmoil that won’t go away. So, have the last word.
Circumcision removes the foreskin. It doesn’t ‘cut’ the organ.
I don’t get it, either. I’ve been married for over twenty years to a guy who got the snip. I must say I’ve never noticed any particular lack of sensitivity.
“Getting the snip” in UK at least is a reference to having a vasectomy as birth prevention measure, and NOT to male circumcision, for which there is in the enormous majority of cases, no medical justification never mind any other (rational) one.

This played a big part in my decision not to subject my son to this barbaric dirka-dirka custom.
I’m surprised by the author’s conclusion that white advocates should leave this issue alone because Labor Party feminists are “on the case”.
Many of those same liberal bureaucrats and journalists have admitted that they knew about this horror for years but kept quiet for fear of being called racist and “Islamophobic”.
So we should continue to highlight this important issue- albeit in a more intelligent manner than that Shabbos goy Tommy Robinson. After all, if white men were targeting nonwhite children this way it would be front page news worldwide and there would be a dozen (((Hollywood films))) and documentaries on it.

…he balks at the freedoms we give girls.
Any “freedoms” granted to women are farce. Why didn’t women give freedoms to themselves? Why did they have to petition men in positions of power to grant them? It almost sounds like women, by their very nature, are in a subordinate position to men. Hmm, I wonder why? Could it have anything to do with the costs of carrying eggs?
The idea that a maternal being can ever be free is a lie on par with racial equality. Women are not self-sufficient; that’s why men need to “protect” and “lead” them. It’s why women scream for help. A being that carries eggs does not seek conflict, it seeks security. The so-called “freedoms” feminists have sought over the years are all ways of taking reproductive control away from men. They never wanted traditional English liberties but the freedom to choose when and with whom they get pregnant. It’s done a number on white birth rates.
The Asian grooming gangs are helped by the British welfare state. They don’t have to worry about unwanted pregnancies when they can go to an NHS clinic and get a taxpayer funded abortion and Norplant injections. The NHS essentially lowers the cost of rape for an Asian grooming gang. The NHS is responsible for decades of low white birth rates and should be abolished.
Whites cannot keep this charade going. They act like girls are helpless prey for Asian grooming gangs but that girls should be “free” to do as they please. If they are helpless, they are not self-sufficient i.e. not free.
The so-called “freedoms” feminists have sought over the years are all ways of taking reproductive control away from men.
Why do you believe men are entitled to “reproductive control”?
… the freedom to choose when and with whom they get pregnant.
The unspeakable horror!
It’s done a number on white birth rates.
Because White men are champing at the bit to have huge families a la Jim Duggar.
Why do you believe men are entitled to “reproductive control”?
Natural law. The track record of female empowerment speaks for itself.
The unspeakable horror!
That’s a gross understatement for 62 million abortions.
An important piece. I always try to promote Peter McLoughlin’s Easy Meat. You have done well to promote this. White (and Sikh) girls in the UK? Collateral damage. Disgusting.
Pakis have very high inbreeding rates, high even by Muslim standards.
