This petition, organised by Britain First in response to an out-of-control epidemic of grooming gangs across the country, has had a phenomenal response with 4,175 signatures to date.

Our petition calls for much stronger measures to be taken against grooming gangs and those who exploit our vulnerable children, together with severe penalties for those in authority who facilitate such exploitation.

The original petition may be found here, and the submission to the Home Secretary can be found below:

For the attention of the Home Secretary, Priti Patel:

Dear Ms Patel,

As Campaigns Officer for Britain First, I have been directed to submit this Petition to you concerning the large number of organised grooming gangs in the UK.

It is our opinion that much stronger measures ought to be taken against those who blight the lives of our most vulnerable children.

We have obtained 4,175 signatures as of today's date, and I sincerely hope that you are able to give this Petition your most earnest consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you at the earliest opportunity.

Yours sincerely, etc.,

As soon as we have a response from the Home Office then I will issue another Campaign Update.

In the meantime I would like to thank Britain First (North) who proposed the petition, and especially the 4,175 people who signed the petition over the past couple of months.
