As the scale of the grooming gangs scandal in the United Kingdom begins to dawn on the rest of the world, there is a gravely large amount of blame to be shared about. It’s a well-known fact that this type of abuse has been committed by various demographic groups, but the clearly racialised nature of the gangs in places like Rotherham is being weaponized by those who hope to stir up social tensions. Covering this evolving story further, Piers Morgan brings Sunday Times columnist Matthew Syed into the studio, who reacts to Piers' interviews with Editor-in-chief and CEO of Zeteo News Mehdi Hasan and Visiting Professor and Global Ambassador at Northwood University Gad Saad. All have a lot to say on the grooming scandal, the assimilation of immigrants to the west and criticising Islam. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
