This marks the second BBC apology regarding the inquiry, following a previous incident where they published critical coverage before allowing Lowe to respond.

🧵 The BBC just published their official response to complaints about ignoring Rupert Lowe’s Rape Gang Inquiry (Feb 2026). Their excuse? “Limited resources.” During the SAME 10 days they found resources for: ✅ Mandelson/Epstein - led every bulletin daily ✅ Prince Andrew - continuous coverage ✅ Winter Olympics - wall to wall ✅ Palestine Action court ruling ✅ Bank of England rates But not for: ❌ Survivors raped by 600-700 men each ❌ Girls trafficked to Pakistan as sex slaves ❌ “Eid rapes” - white girls targeted as religious celebration ❌ NHS staff ignored 13yr old girls with STDs and miscarriages ❌ Senior police officers “must have known” ❌ A conveyor belt of abuse across dozens of towns and cities The BBC’s own statement: “These decisions should not be taken as indicative of bias.”

2/2 This is the SECOND time the BBC has had to apologise over the Lowe inquiry. In July 2025, The Spectator reported the BBC rushed a hit piece on Lowe over donation registration — publishing before giving him time to respond. He was later completely cleared. Two apologies. Zero meaningful inquiry coverage. Survivors still waiting. You decide if that’s bias.

Limited Resources. 👺
