GB News' National Reporter Charlie Peters has shredded the "cowardly reluctance" shown by politicians to "confront" the grooming gangs scandal in Scotland.
Last week, the People's Channel shone a light on two case studies which "broke the dam" on the issue across the border.
A Glaswegian girl, who has been named "Taylor", who retold her story of abuse in a care home by gangs of up to 10 Pakistani men who are said to have plied her with drink and drugs more than 10 years ago.
Charlie further revealed her care records, which showed Police Scotland had failed to interview Taylor despite her name appearing in an investigation of group-based abuse.

Outspoken Bradford survivor Fiona Goddard, additionally, retold her story to the reporter of how she was trafficked from West Yorkshire to Glasgow by Pakistani gangs, also acting as a drug mule in the process.
"Now, when we revealed these cases last week, there was a cowardly reluctance in Scotland to confront them.
"There was, as we faced in England over a decade ago, the same conspiracy of silence that prevented the discussion on grooming gangs in Rotherham, in Rochdale and in countless other towns across the country.
"Well, yesterday that conspiracy of silence finally broke."

During First Minister's Questions on Tuesday, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Russell Findlay, used exclusive GB News reporting to question John Swinney, the First Minister, to ask him if he would listen to Taylor, if he would listen to Fiona, and if he would launch a further investigation into grooming gangs in Scotland.
And, after the victim wrote to Mr Swinney, the First Minister announced that he was "open" to launching an inquiry into the matter across Scotland.
In the correspondence, Taylor said she was "deeply disappointed" with the First Minister and Police Scotland over how her case has been handled.
The alleged gang is believed to have operated in Govanhill, Glasgow, as well as Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire.
GROOMING GANGS LATEST:
The Scottish First Minister said he was open to the idea of a grooming gangs inquiry in Scotland
| PAShe added that she had now taken steps "to make sure that my voice is heard".
Taylor said that it was "clear" that grooming gang abuse was still happening in Scotland.
Back in September, the Conservatives put forward an amendment in September demanding research into group-based child sexual exploitation, but it was voted down by SNP and Green MSPs.
The Tories wanted a similar investigation to the audit conducted by Baroness Louise Casey that recommended a national inquiry into grooming gangs in England and Wales.
Taylor has now urged the Government to act, concluding her letter by saying: "I am firm in my belief that a rapid audit into grooming gangs in Scotland is urgently required."
Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay said that Taylor’s "powerful letter" should "shame John Swinney into doing the right thing".
Mr Swinney lauded his "admiration for her courage to speak out on such an important and very difficult subject", adding: "I am deeply saddened to hear of any cases of sexual abuse."
The SNP leader further confirmed the Scottish Government is deploying the National Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Strategic Group.
He said: "The Government has remained open to the question of a grooming gangs inquiry, but there is a series of steps being taken to explore these issues at the present moment."
