I've been quite conflicted but on balance I think I'm in favour of a further, targeted National Inquiry on the grooming gangs. The Jay report had a wider remit, and focussing in on the issue may benefit. That doesn't mean that there aren't recommendations that can't be implemented in the interim. It may well be that it wastes a few hundred million but who cares, if it can help one girl it's worth it.
Regarding the situation at the time, I find it impossible to believe that there was a written order to ignore it. Impossible. Fair enough I can believe some hushed conversations - "you better be sure Daz you know what they're like" - but outright orders is just nonsense. Maybe a bit too much salt and pepper from the establishment generally speaking at the time regarding racial sensitivities and political correctness etc had affected a few people's decision making processes.
For me the race that impacted the scandal the most wasn't that of the perpetrators, but the survivors. The prevailing misogyny and classism, the 'chavvy little white girls' mentality, the constant degrading of the working classes.
I'd also like to see recriminations for those involved, who's decision making led to the continuation of the torture of these young girls.
