Why Will The Media Not Ask Andy Burnham About Operation Hexagon? There is an operation Greater Manchester Police will not name. The press will not name it either. It has a name. Operation Hexagon. A police operation was built to hunt the people who exposed the rape of children in Oldham. The man who held authority over it is walking towards Downing Street. They Built An Operation To Hunt The Whistleblowers Operation Hexagon was a joint enterprise between Greater Manchester Police, Oldham Council and Labour Party politicians. The grooming gangs were never its target. Neither were the men who shielded them. The machinery was aimed at the whistleblowers, and at the ordinary people who dared to ask how children came to be raped in Oldham. Read that back slowly. A police force and a political party, working in concert, turned on the citizens who demanded accountability. The abusers were left untouched. The people exposing them were placed under the lens. I can speak to Hexagon because Hexagon came for me. Officers were sent to build cases against me that had no foundation. They repeatedly raided my house at dawn. The Crown Prosecution Service was turned into an instrument for manufacturing evidence to put me in the dock. Every charge collapsed. Every allegation was dismissed. That is what an official police operation was made into. A machine for assembling false cases against a man whose only offence was refusing to look away while children were raped. The Authority Ran Straight To Andy Burnham Hexagon did not run in a vacuum. It ran under a chain of command, and that chain ends at Andy Burnham. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham holds the powers of the police and crime commissioner. He has held authority over Greater Manchester Police since 2017. Oldham is the epicentre of the scandal and the focus of Hexagon, and Oldham sits inside his remit. An operation of this kind, run in his force, in his region, against the critics of a cover up, does not happen beyond the reach of the man who commands the force. He has never answered for it. He stood in election after election and said nothing. The silence of the man who held the authority is itself the answer. They Buried The Whole Thing You have not read about Operation Hexagon in your newspaper. That is by design. Freedom of Information requests are refused with practised ease. The press that rushes to report every other case of police misconduct keeps its distance from this one. An operation confirmed to exist is reported as though it never happened. The blackout is the cover up that guards the cover up. The Man Who Oversaw It Is Walking Into Downing Street Here is why this matters now beyond anything it mattered before. Andy Burnham is on the road to Number Ten. The man who held authority over a police operation aimed at the whistleblowers of a child rape scandal is about to become the most powerful figure in the country. Operation Hexagon should have finished his career. It has been allowed to sit as a footnote that no one in Westminster and no one in the press will read aloud. Which is why it is left to us. Imagine this, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom dragged kicking and screaming in front of a national inquiry into the cover up of the Pakistani Rape Gangs where he is forced to testify under oath and defend his own actions. You don't have to imagine it. You just need to help me make it happen. For 8 years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani grooming gangs. I, with the support of the people of Oldham, led the campaign that forced the National Inquiry. Now, with your help, we will force this inquiry to a place it does not want to go. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews of which one was in my hometown of Oldham. It was a cover-up of a cover-up. It tried to bury the truth. Don't believe me? Ask Maggie Oliver. Even she has come to the same conclusion. Despite Burnham's efforts to help hide what took place, we forced a national inquiry. Whilst previously defending the robustness of his now exposed cover up, Burnham is now trying his best to rewrite the truth of what he really did. Unfortunately, as of yet, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his actions and his deceit will go unchallenged. We hope to change this before the investigation starts in Oldham. Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will try everything possible not to hold a PM accountable. Much of the press will look away, as always. This is why it is up to us to carry the truth. Which is why I'm turning this community of readers into something more than what I can manage on my own. We need to grow and become an independent investigative outlet with: - A professional website to reach larger audiences - Video editing to make this work accessible to millions - Research support so no lead goes cold - In-person events to train people - Resources to gather evidence and report from failed communities Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers to help grow and become more than a one man operation. With your help, we can do in towns and cities across the country what we have done in Oldham. Sign Up Here 👉 redwallandtherabble.co.uk Should we succeed, politicians will go to prison. It is as simple as that. Surely, on this prospect alone, it is worth your support. Raja 🙏
