Episode Details

Shabir Ahmed, the ‘Daddy’ of a notorious Rochdale grooming gang, has been released after 14 years — but the fallout is explosive. Convicted in 2012 for horrific crimes against girls as young as 13, he can’t be deported due to a 1971 law shielding long-term Commonwealth citizens. Politicians from all sides are demanding his removal, with the PM ordering a review and pledging to act on foreign offenders. Victims’ families are outraged, calling for immediate deportation to Pakistan — while a major party vows to fix the loophole in the Immigration Bill. Ahmed is now being relocated to a secure, monitored residence, barred from Rochdale, sparking a national debate on justice, citizenship, and the limits of the law.
