Searched for this topic and was suprised not to find anything - Jess Phillips on Question Time this week deflects question on immigration and Cologne sex attacks by saying 'similar' crimes happen in Birmingham city centre every weekend. The guardian gives more info from her www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/29/labour-mp-jess-phillips-defends-remarks-about-cologne-sex-attacks
The attacks in Cologne appear to be organised via social media which is why so many were involved - it marks a tipping point towards the industrialisation of this sexually motivated criminal activity - allowing perpetrators to hide in a crowd and overwhelm the police.
I can't believe this does happen on any scale in Birmingham so why would a feminist such as Jess Phillips ignore this and instead focus on the facts that DV and sexual assaults happen in Britain already etc which misses the specific issue raised?
