I have not said anything about the grooming gangs, so please stop putting words into my mouth.
On that subject, there were many cases, and I do not think you can generally say the police covered it up. Their response was not up to scratch, but neither were anyone elses. After an IPCC investigation and report, Greater Manchester Police, who were resposible for policing Rochdale said // "there was a strong target driven focus, predominantly on serious acquisitive crime. At best this was distracting for police leaders and influenced the areas that resources were focussed on". //
You might find this report worth reading.
The initial police respose was very poor, but the second investigation, Operation Span, was very thorough and led to the groomers being jailed. So the opposite of a cover up is what really occurred.
