Peter McLoughlin spent years believing the Leftist narrative, namely it was 'a racist myth' that organised Muslim groups in Britain and the Netherlands (‘grooming gangs’) were luring white schoolgirls into a life of prostitution. But in 2009 he first encountered people who said their children had been groomed like this. These informants had non-white people in their immediate and extended family, and were thus unlikely to be racists. So McLoughlin dug deeper and what he found shocked him: there were mounds of evidence that social workers, police officers, Muslim organisations, journalists and even some Members of Parliament must have known about these grooming gangs for decades, and they had turned a blind-eye to these crimes. He also came across references to incidents where any proof had since vanished. McLoughlin spent several years uncovering everything he could and documenting this scandal before the evidence disappeared. He demonstrates that the true nature of this grooming phenomenon was known about more than 20 years ago.
While he was writing this book, Parliament was forced by rising anger in Britain to conduct its own low-key investigation. The eventual report concluded the grooming problem was basically in one town: Rotherham. Official reports finally admitted there were more than 1400 victims in this otherwise unremarkable town. McLoughlin argues the authorities will continue their cover-up of this scandal, with many thousands of new victims across the country every year. The criminal indicators in Rotherham are to be found in scores of towns across Britain. McLoughlin's book is an attempt to get the public to wake up, for them to demand civilised solutions, because if the social contract breaks down, people may turn to vigilante justice as the prostituting of schoolgirls continues unabated. The book documents the hidden abuse of Sikh victims by grooming gangs, and how Sikhs in Britain have already resorted to vigilante justice.
The book exposes how political correctness was used to silence potential whistle-blowers, and how this grooming phenomenon demonstrates that multiculturalism does not work. Every layer of authority in the British state comes under detailed examination to expose their part in the scandal. McLoughlin leaves no stone unturned, and at 130,000 words in length, it is likely to be the most detailed critique of this scandal for years to come.
Easy Meat is the best book I have read that gives the reader an accurate picture of what is really going on in the U.K. in regards to gang grooming - I am not PC so let me just state what it really is, child rape and trafficking.
This book breaks down everything - an ideology that promotes this vile "trade", the mentality that it's acceptable to do whatever to a non-believer, the apologist who have thousands of rapes on their hands, and a system that was more concerned with the metal straight jacket that is political correctness, instead of innocent young girls lives.
This book should get the readers blood boiling. 1,400 girls in one city were victimized for over 10 years and people let it happen. Rotherham is just one city of many where this disgusting practice is taking place, to this day. It's high time the PC nonsense is set aside and the focus shifts to protecting the vulnerable and caring for the mass of victims left in this crime against humanities' wake. A 12 year old was raped by 8 men in 24 hours. The leader received 6 years in prison for a crime that carried sentencing guidelines of 11-17 years. He served 3 years. He raped and had other men rape a 12 year old, and only served 3 years.
We need to wake up. This is the harsh reality of what is going on in this country. The world needs to learn from this to prevent future victims. The longer we have our heads buried in the sand concerning this matter, the higher the victim count climbs. This subject needs to be talked about. Parents should read this book and it should be taught in schools.
This is a horrible book. Its thoroughly nasty title says it all, a title filched from a former UK Home Secretary, Jack Straw. This was the latter’s collective label for the child victims of the predominantly muslim grooming gangs that combed the UK for would-be non muslim child prostitutes and potential drug addicts. It is a national disgrace that it was ever written but the need was very clearly there.
I did not enjoy reading it; it is sickening and I can’t therefore recommend it. If however you want to read about the tragic consequences of political correctness gone mad, the failure of multiculturalism and the exploitation of liberalist legislation for financial gain and worse, this might be just what you are looking for.
I knocked a star off because I became bored by the author’s endless repetition of evidence which I understood the first time around. Pity the authorities didn’t, when the victims and their families repeatedly reported it.
Be prepared to get angry when you read this book, which covers the sex scandals involving men of mainly Pakistani Muslim origin who groomed and sexually exploited thousands of mainly white English schoolgirls from vulnerable backgrounds, for it is shocking and outrageous. These girls were abused in what can only be described as a form of modern-day slavery, and it should be a source of justifiable outrage and universal condemnation, but somehow (sadly) it didn't get feminists' blood boiling like Trump's "pussy" comments did, despite the huge numbers of victims. Why? The book offers several reasons why this widespread abuse was covered up, mainly due to fear of being labelled "racist": "For many of us, being labelled as ‘racist’ is worse than any other kind of stigmatisation. Yet the majority of the political class, who were drawn from the indigenous community, simply did not care about the lives of the working-class schoolgirls on whom these Muslim gangs preyed." Although the content is very well-researched, with endnotes after each section, it is not a stunning work of literature because it's not as well-written as, say, Douglas Murray's "The Strange Death of Europe", but it is nevertheless important. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't know anything about this problem in the UK, as more and more abuses of this kind throughout the country are being exposed on an almost daily basis now. 3.5/4
Probably the best guarded secret in islamic doctrine; the allowance of sex slavery, euphemistically known as "grooming" (UK) or "lover boys" (NL). This book is very likely to make you nauseous and angry, for it lays bare the horrendous working of islamic abuse of non-muslim, young, vulnerable girls in towns all over the United Kingdom. The best known case in this affair is the Rotherham rape case. Other manifestations (not dealt with in this book) are the Yazidi sex slaves held by ISIS, Boko Haram's kidnapping of young schoolgirls and the massive Cologne taharrush attacks.
The book examines a history of a couple of decades, especially how tens of thousands of young girls could have been seduced, drugged, raped and traumatized for life while all those officials that should have protected them, refused to see and act on what was happening.
The evidence is overwhelming and damning. The research done is extensive and statements are backed up by verifiable sources.
A strong case is built that the permeating culture of political correctness was paramount in establishing rape gangs on an industrial scale. Society deals swiftly with anyone even daring to suggest that followers of the islam are systematically raping overwhelmingly white girls. No wonder then that causes are sought that have nothing to do with reality.
An exploration is made into islamic doctrine to see whether it supports sex slavery. Shockingly, it does. Not only in documents old of age, unused, but as applied doctrine, enforced and confirmed by sharia lawgivers of renown.
The official approach of concealing the rapes combined with the islamic will to wage sexual jihad makes for a nasty brew that has allowed this monstrosity to come into existence and flourish.
Where once Britain aggressively and successfully championed the cause for the abolition of slavery, it must now deal with the nastiest kind of slavery in its own heartland. Britain, open your eyes and fight for those who depend and rely on you.
Well I finally managed to make my way through this book and it took me far longer than I'd originally expected. It's not that I was unaware of the level of depravity involved in these Muslim grooming gangs, or the fact that they have become so numerous and so pervasive in so many British towns; it was more the repeatedly stunning revelations regarding the scale of the cover-up. The government, the police force, charities, NGOs, think tanks, task forces, social workers, journalists...so many people all more than aware that the uniting factor in the majority of these rape gangs, was/is Islam. Not one particular race, not one particular nationality, but one religion, with enough problems baked into its theological roots (a return to which sets Islam apart from other world religions which have become progressively less medieval and more civilised) to make fellow followers willing to look the other way and refuse to report on those who perpetrated these sick acts.
It's a lot to take in, but people really ought to make the effort to read 'Easy Meat'. I'm way past the point of caring about the names people level at me, purely because I refuse to avoid the facts surrounding issues such as Muslim rape gangs, but don't be surprised if after reading this, you find yourself starting to question whether all those people you see being accused of 'hate' or 'racism' for tying to bring attention to these crimes, aren't actually just victims of a politically correct mob who care more about virtue signalling, than they do the lives of hundreds of thousands of white, Sikh and Hindu schoolgirls, who were raped, tortured, forced into drug use & prostitution and even murdered.
These gangs have been operating systematically and almost entirely without impunity, in the UK for decades. They have been common knowledge to various groups, charities and areas of law enforcement, since 1989. Yet it is only now that we are beginning to really hear anything about the crimes being committed by one protected group against the children of others who they deem to be 'whores', 'sluts' and 'easy meat' - merely by dint of their NOT being Muslim. These girls were targeted because they are the kuffar. In any other instance this would be considered a hate crime - and justifiably so - but the west's obsession with trying to pretend that cultural differences do not cause problems within society (and labelling anyone who dares to suggest otherwise as 'racist' or 'Islamophobic' - a fake term popularised by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organisation that seeks to create a state that is governed by Islamic law) has allowed these disgustingly despicable individuals to operate almost without impunity.
'Easy Meat' is not an easy read, but it is an incredibly important, deeply relevant and thoroughly informative read that more people should take the time to work through. Some books you read to be entertained, others you read because they contain truths that the wider public need to be exposed to. 'Easy Meat' is the latter. Do yourself a favour and read it. You won't like it, but you will gain a much better understanding of the scope of the issue and the subsequent problems presented by those who want you to remain ignorant of the facts.
03/02/2025 - Update: Thankfully it appears that this book has now been returned to its former status on Goodreads and can be reviewed again by those who have read it. If you ever find a book suddenly taken off of here and a message displayed that says it "no longer meets catalog requirements/regulations" please contact GR directly and ask them to look into it. That's what I did and thankfully they remedied the situation. Thank you to whomever was responsible for fixing this.
Truly a fantastic work of journalism, an admittedly right leaning work, but unsurprising considering the undeniable influence of the left in hindering the conversation about Islamic grooming gangs.
Very unsettling and likely to make the blood boil, if you want a thorough course on one of the biggest scandals in the UK, and one still in action to this day, you would be well inclined to read this book.
Calling this research "racist rubbish" or similar would be just another attempt to shut down debate and deny the truth; these are not options after all the revelations, and now Telford. This came as a shock, but I forced myself to read it in light of the CSE disgraces around this country.
Not all the criminals are from one single background, they come from several heritages, but the evidence and official reports from elsewhere are clear. We know about all the alleged PC cowardice and cover-ups. Our children and all of us deserve better so if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.
We may not agree with Mr McLoughlin, but this lengthy analytical book is heavy on research and gory detail. Our vulnerable children and adults have to be protected, their families and the public deserve better. And frankly we have all had enough of the abuse, lies and cover-ups.
Do you live in a country - where over the last 25 or more years thousands of young white girls, many far below the legal age of consent, were ‘groomed’ - befriended and then raped by adult men, overwhelmingly of Muslim origin? - where huge sums were made by the grooming gangs by prostituting the girls to friends and relatives? - where appalling acts of mental and physical violence and threats of violence were visited upon the victims who tried to break away or report what was going on? - where in one small northern town alone there were some 1400 victims over a period of years? Some have conjectured that the number in the country as a whole could be as much as one million. It is certainly up in the hundreds of thousands. - where the authorities – police, politicians, social workers, press - turned a blind eye, paralysed by the doctrine of multiculturalism and the fear of appearing ‘racist’?
If you are a UK resident, congratulations! You do indeed live in such a country. And Peter McLoughlin’s meticulously researched book shows how it all happened – the appalling physical and mental suffering of the victims, the callousness and impunity of the perpetrators and the indifference of those in authority .
Towards the end Mr. McLoughlin turns the spotlight on Islam and tries to discover what in this very alien ideology causes this kind of behaviour - the well enshrined view of females, in particular non-muslim females, as inferior to men, the expectation that girls should be married at a very early age and the assumption that they are worthy of contempt if they are not etc.. That may all be true, and many of the guilty men will to their dying day fail to understand that what they are doing is wrong. But the real culprit is the British Establishment who for so long failed to say - and remain reluctant to say ‘enough is enough – you live in this country and will abide by our rules’.
On the face of it a book of over 300 pages on such a harrowing subject will not be your ideal bedtime read. But give it a try. The whole story is so extraordinary and the language so clear and readable that you will find it hard to put down.
But if by the time you’ve got to the end and still believe that every culture is of equal value, that the UK has an honest and free press, that the forces of law and order are on your side, that the Social Services are composed exclusively of decent folk there to look after those who fall by the wayside, and that everyone, regardless of race or religion, is treated equally under the law you obviously weren’t paying attention. And still it goes on.
An exceptionally well-written and detailed book concerning the Muslim grooming gangs scandal. Avoids political correctness to address the issue thoroughly. I simply could not imagine a better book on the subject. This writer is an expert and I look forward to reading his next work.
A simply incredible book housing a number of articles and reports detailing the systematic abuse grooming and ultimately murder of a number of Sikh and English girl from the mid eighties until NOW!
This is not Asian gangs or Sikh or white. This is MUSLIM gangs. Yet our police and social services and media have covered this up for fear of upsetting that growing minority. The police turned and still though a blind eye to this and even accused Tommy Robinson of making it up to score political points. Respected journalists were told NOT to write an expose for fear of upsetting the community protecting these rapists and in some cases murderers.
I am ashamed to be English. It has been covered up to fit an agenda whilst predominately white girls from all backgrounds and levels of wealth have been traumatised for life and in many unsolved case disappeared. Some even brutally murdered. Some having their tongues nailed to a table to prevent them speaking or their families having to move from a town they have always lived in for fear of their own safety. Some having several children or being forced to abort the unwanted product of multiple rapes.
This isn't a book by the apparently dangerous EDL or any racist anti Muslim group. It is by a respected Times journalists and several others who refuse to be silenced.
It's indicative of the real dangers that face our kids and the Muslim community have a duty to expose these rapists and murderers. It's our duty to read this book and not bury our heads in the sand soaked with blood and unwanted bodily fluids. It's not going to go away and if the authorities don't take a tougher stance, these people will continue to rape and murder girls as young as 11
It's a book you can't put down and you shouldn't but as you can tell it makes your blood boil. I knew of the small amount of cases that actually got to court but this happens on a widespead scale and we must all do what we can to stop. It could be my daughter or yours next.
Peter McLoughlin’s Easy Meat: Inside Britain's Grooming Gang Scandal, published in 2016, is a courageous and meticulously researched exposé that shines a stark light on a disturbing social issue: the systematic exploitation of vulnerable young girls by organised grooming gangs in Britain. This groundbreaking work, meticulously researched and written, stands as a testament to McLoughlin’s commitment to uncovering a truth long obscured by political correctness and institutional inaction.
As an American who has lived in Copenhagen, Denmark, for over two decades while working across Europe, I can attest to the book’s relevance beyond Britain, as the issue of grooming gangs has grown in Northern Europe and Scandinavia, particularly following the Arab Spring and Syrian refugee crisis. McLoughlin’s work, one of the first to tackle this taboo subject, remains a vital call to action, highlighting a problem that has only worsened in the decade since its publication.
A Pioneering and Sobering Investigation
Easy Meat is a tour de force of investigative journalism, born from McLoughlin’s personal journey from skepticism to revelation. Initially dismissing claims of organised grooming gangs as a “racist myth,” he was prompted to dig deeper after encountering credible accounts from families with non-white members, unlikely to be motivated by prejudice. What he uncovered is chilling: decades of evidence that social workers, police, journalists, and even politicians were aware of these crimes yet failed to act, often due to fears of being labeled racist or Islamophobic. McLoughlin’s rigorous documentation—drawing on court records, victim testimonies, and suppressed reports—reveals a systemic cover-up, with cases dating back to the late 1980s. His analysis of the Rotherham scandal, where over 1,400 victims were identified in a single town, underscores the scale of the crisis, challenging the official narrative that confined the issue to one locality.
The book’s strength lies in its unflinching detail. McLoughlin exposes how grooming gangs, often composed of men from specific cultural backgrounds, targeted vulnerable non-Muslim girls, including white and Sikh victims, using drugs, alcohol, and feigned affection to lure them into exploitation. He documents harrowing acts of violence—rapes, beatings, and threats—that went unaddressed by authorities. His inclusion of Sikh communities’ experiences and their resort to vigilante justice highlights the broader societal impact and the failure of the state to protect its citizens. As Theodore Dalrymple notes, the book reveals “how a nation commits suicide” by sacrificing its youth to the “idols of multiculturalism and political correctness,” making it a sobering wake-up call for readers.
A Growing Crisis in the UK and Northern Europe
Published nearly a decade ago, Easy Meat remains painfully relevant as the grooming gang crisis has not only persisted but worsened across the UK and Northern Europe. McLoughlin’s warning that the “criminal indicators in Rotherham are to be found in scores of towns across Britain” has proven prescient, with subsequent reports confirming similar patterns in cities like Telford, Bradford, and Manchester. As an American residing in Copenhagen for over 20 years and working throughout Europe, I have witnessed the spread of similar issues in Northern Europe and Scandinavia. In Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, reports of organized exploitation targeting vulnerable girls have surfaced, often linked to unassimilated segments of immigrant communities. These patterns, though less documented than in the UK, mirror the dynamics McLoughlin describes: a combination of cultural disconnect, institutional reluctance to intervene, and fear of stoking xenophobic backlash.
The escalation of this crisis coincides with significant demographic shifts following the Arab Spring (2010–2012) and the Syrian refugee crisis (2011–present). These events triggered a massive influx of immigrants and refugees from the Middle East and North Africa into Europe, straining social cohesion and amplifying cultural divides. In Denmark, for instance, I’ve observed how certain communities remain isolated, with limited integration contributing to parallel social structures where such crimes can fester. McLoughlin’s book, written before these migrations peaked, presciently identifies the risks of unchecked multiculturalism, a perspective that resonates as the challenges of integration grow more complex.
Breaking the Silence on a Taboo Topic
Easy Meat was among the first works to confront the grooming gang scandal head-on, tackling a topic many avoided out of fear of being labeled racist or politically incorrect. McLoughlin courageously addresses the cultural divide between European societies and some immigrant communities, particularly those from the Middle East and North Africa, where differing attitudes toward women and authority can clash with Western norms. He argues that the gangs’ homogeneity—often involving Muslim men targeting non-Muslim girls—is not coincidental but rooted in cultural and ideological factors, a claim supported by his extensive evidence and echoed by commentators like Robert Spencer, who notes the influence of certain Islamic teachings on the treatment of “infidel” women.
This discussion was explosive in 2016 and remains so today, as it challenges the narrative of seamless multiculturalism. McLoughlin’s critics may argue that his focus risks inflaming prejudice, but his reliance on data—court convictions, victim accounts, and parliamentary reports—grounds his work in reality rather than rhetoric. By exposing how political correctness silenced whistleblowers and shielded perpetrators, he underscores a broader failure of governance. As an American in Europe, I’ve seen similar hesitancy in Scandinavian media and policy circles to address these issues openly, making McLoughlin’s call for “civilised solutions” all the more urgent to prevent vigilante responses and restore trust in institutions.
Conclusion
Easy Meat: Inside Britain's Grooming Gang Scandal is a vital, if harrowing, contribution to understanding one of the UK’s most shameful failures. Peter McLoughlin’s exhaustive research and fearless approach illuminate a crisis that has only deepened in the decade since the book’s release, extending beyond Britain to Northern Europe and Scandinavia. His work, one of the first to confront the grooming gang phenomenon, remains a powerful indictment of institutional inaction and the perils of prioritising political correctness over justice. For readers seeking to grasp the complexities of this issue—particularly in the context of post-Arab Spring and Syrian refugee migration—Easy Meat is an essential, sobering read. It challenges us to face uncomfortable truths and demand accountability, ensuring that the victims, past and present, are not forgotten.
Thus I highly recommend this book to anyone who is at least curious about the crisis that still pervades modern Europe today and probably even more relevant today with the weekly reports of young women in the UK for example being exploited to an even far greater extent than when this book was first published.
A book about the Muslim Grooming gangs of Britain that perpetrate child trafficking and rape. While The victims own books detail the way they were coerced into child rape and trafficking, Peters book shows us how this was allowed to happen. Very well researched and referenced, it doesn’t make for pleasant reading - what it also highlighted for me, is how things in our society are actively hidden/suppressed/covered up. What else are they lying about? What else do our governments and police lie about? Why do more of our journalists not look deeper and why do our news networks actively hide some stories? And what About those who pay the costs of the lies and cover ups, with their destroyed lives- why is it ok to do that to people/children? I am glad this cat is out of the bag but there is still not enough being done by those that should be doing anything and everything to prevent this. I have made a list of books that cover this topic, for anyone interested, go to the browse tab, click lists and search for “ British Grooming Rings”
It's all a conspiracy. Like the Jews used to drink baptized children's blood in their rituals a century ago, now this guy has proof Muslims can't get an erection without a White under-aged woman.
