The first official records of Pakistani grooming have been discovered to have been prosecuted in the courts as early as 1955.
The British Movement Northern region website has carried far too many stories about Pakistani – Muslim ‘grooming’ gangs or more accurately rape gangs operating in and from this once flourishing West Yorkshire city.
Now, with the release of the Restore UK investigation report into both historic and up-to-date cases of these grooming gangs, horrific, long-forgotten or overlooked details are emerging. In addition, these historic cases prove that all the warning signs were there from the early days of mass immigration into Britain as to how cultural differences would harm British society.
While British Movement does not support Restore UK or its leader Rupert Lowe in any context, the privately funded investigation report provides a wealth of previously concealed or disregarded information, and unfortunately, the city of Bradford features in much of the earliest accounts. The shocking facts blow a huge hole in the leftist myth of ‘diversity is our strength’ and is an object lesson in the toxic nature of multiculturalism and the negative impact on Britain of mass immigration.
Now a number of online reports have been published and the results of the investigations stretch way back beyond the previously accepted time lines that the ‘Pakistani grooming gangs’ first emerged in the 1990’s. The sickening reality is that these grooming/rape gangs were not only operating across the North of England in the 1980’s and even the 1970’s, but there are also documented court accounts of prosecutions stretching back through the 1960’s and even into the mid-1950’s.
Sadly, West Yorkshire features significantly, and not only Bradford, but also Keighley and Halifax are listed. There are many important facts emerging about the first grooming gang trials and convictions, and in particular the phases and origins of Pakistani migration into the UK and significantly the impact on the population make-up of Bradford.
The online journalism of ‘J’Accuse’ has identified a lot of very revealing historical information that has been either missed or ignored by mainstream journalists and commentators reporting on more recent Pakistani Muslim grooming/rape gang trials. In the interests of exposing the historical truth, BM Northern region quotes the more revealing extracts.
Local newspaper reports emerge in 1955
Building on research by J’Accuse, the Restorationist confirms at least 200+ reports from Bradford, Keighley, Halifax, and other northern towns in the British Newspaper Archive dating back to 1955 involving criminal convictions or court accusations citing “Pakistani men” or “Asian gangs.”
Pakistani grooming, from the 1950s onwards
Documented stories from the British Newspaper Archive. A comprehensive list of news reports indicates that organised child grooming and sexual abuse by Pakistani males was entrenched as early as the 1950s.
1955 Bradford Grooming Gang
Four Bradford-based Pakistani men appeared at Bradford City Court accused of having carnal knowledge of a 15-year-old girl from Middlesbrough. This is the first clear grooming case, and it happened in Bradford, where there has still not been a wave of prosecutions for grooming. In 2025, Bradford Council again refused Robbie Moore MP’s demand for an inquiry.
1959 Grooming in Keighley, West Yorkshire
In a statement to a police woman, a 16-year-old Colne girl admitted that she drank six gin and oranges in a Keighley hotel. Afterwards, she went out with a 30-year-old Pakistani and did not return home that night. The girl appeared before a Juvenile Panel yesterday as being in need of care and protection and exposed to moral danger. The chairman, Mr. R. J. Walker, described the case as ‘“the worst in my 20 years’ experience.”’ A supervision order was made for three years and the girl was warned to keep off drink and away from these people in Keighley.
1959 Grooming in Halifax, Yorkshire
The 15-year-old girl appeared before Halifax Juvenile Court, where Superintendent L. Masses, M.B.E., gave evidence indicating that her parents were aware she was associating with a Pakistani man (referred to in court as “Mr X”), Having admitted she was “exposed to moral danger,” she was sent to a remand home for three weeks. Superintendent Masses noted the girl clearly needed better care and protection,
highlighting inadequate parental supervision.

Robert Jenrick has been on the receiving end of calls for him to be sacked after his recent interventions in the ‘Grooming Gang’ debate, in particular for the following tweet published January 4th.
To sustain order in multicultural Britain, the state considered it necessary to apply the law selectively. For decades, the most appalling crimes from predominantly British-Pakistani men were legalised and actively covered up to prevent disorder. The rule of law was abandoned to sustain the myth that diversity is our strength, destroying the lives of thousands of vulnerable white working class girls in the process.
This is simply factually incorrect when discussing Pakistani Rape Gangs. The Alexis Jay report dates the onset of the mass rape atrocity to the 1970s, a time when Tony Blair was still an Oxford undergraduate playing guitar for The Ugly Rumours.
Our contention goes even further than Alexis Jay. We have substantial evidence that the issue, specifically, of Pakistani Rape Gangs dates back to the early 1950s, when the first waves of Pakistani immigration began after the passage of the 1948 Nationality Act. The blame for this atrocity, then, does not lie with Tony Blair, but with Clement Attlee.
Between 1951 and 2001, the Pakistani population in Britain experienced remarkable growth, increasing from 10,000 in 1951 to 119,000 in 1971, and reaching 747,000 by 2001. Approximately 80% of British Pakistanis trace their origins to the Mirpur District of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Among Mirpuri emigrants, 71% visit their homeland annually, 67% regularly send remittances, and 79% express a desire to return permanently to Mirpur, highlighting their strong transnational connections to Pakistan.
The migration of Mirpuris to Britain was driven primarily by economic reasons, particularly after the 1960s, when over 280 villages were submerged for the Mangla Dam construction, displacing over 110,000 people.
To take one example, the city of Bradford, by 1944-45 there were estimated to be 30 ‘Indo-Pakistanis’ in the city. By 1964, the city had a total population of 296,000, with 12,000 residents being Pakistani. 5,000 of whom originated from Mirpur.
This sort of growth is typical for towns and cities in the North and Midlands of England with a large Pakistani population in 2025. By 1970, the Pakistani population of Bradford was estimated at 21,000, and by 2021, the Pakistani population of the Bradford Metropolitan District totalled 139,553.
As bad as this situation has become within British society, this remains reversible damage; in so much that while the pain and suffering of the victims will never go away, the colonisation of British towns and cities by immigrants can be halted and reversed.
Reversing immigration and settlement is the problem, and ‘Remigration’ and deportation are the answer to the problems that over half a century of immigration has created in cities like Bradford.
