In this powerful Heretics interview she details systemic failures by police and social services who knew about it but blamed victims instead of protecting them. Fiona exposes shocking decisions like taxpayer-funded hotel placements linked to the perpetrators, racial motivations, community silence, and the cult-like control. She discusses the slow realisation of the process, ongoing issues, political resistance to a full national inquiry, and criticisms of figures like Jess Phillips.
