To think that white British/ American etcmen are just as much a threat to women as migrants?

Why am I not surprised that your reaction to VAWG in the UK is a laugh emoji?🙄.

You dont give a shit about UK women or girls.

New Labour opened the borders. The Tories just opened them wider. Both liberal parties (post-Blair) rather than left or right.

I don't think mass immigration is a left wing cause, it's just been hijacked by liberals who have basically been sold as left wing.

The Tories as you point out are also content with mass immigration because it keeps wages down and as homeowners it keeps house prices/rents rising. It's not for any altruistic purposes. god forbid these immigrants turn up in their leafy Tory/Lib Dem areas - keep them in working class communities.

these boats were full of families then there wouldn't be the same level of moral panic.

I think "justified alarm" would be a better way of putting it than "moral panic".

My previous message that I've never met an American or English man who has shot a female for wanting education was deleted by mn
...so they clearly support the shooting of children for ideological reasons... Malala ... sorry is this a factually incorrect comment. Was she not shot because she wanted to go to school, or was it she sat in someone's seat...mn. Please comment... you deleted the comment didn't contact me...so what...mum's net doesn't support female education? But doesn't want statements that may upset some people

in Sweden a 2025 study from Lund University found that nearly two-thirds of convicted rapists in Sweden were first- or second-generation immigrants.

Let's go back to the original post I was responding to:

According to YouGov, which tends to skew left, 73% of people think immigration has been too high in the past 10 years. The left has well and truly lost this argument.

For the last 14 years, immigration has increased exponentially under a right wing government. In fact, during their last year, it reached a million. Therefore it hasn't been the left who have increased immigration or argued for more immigration. Bringing cheap labour into the country tends to keep wages down.

Problem is 'the left' has been hijacked by middle class liberals, particularly at universities and the like. It's all 'right on' causes like Trans rights, refugees welcome and Palestine activism, which don't really appeal to the average working class person whose own prospects are shit and whose has changed for the worse.

Therefore those people - traditionally Labour - were compelled to vote Brexit and will vote Reform because the Labour Party have contempt for them.

The same dynamic has happened in America with the dreadful Democrats allowing Trump in again, by becoming the party of woke liberals rather than working class people.

Absolutely. I saw a clip by a comedian recently saying he really wants to be left wing but they’re just so awful and locked into an aggressive purity spiral that they would rather get the wrong outcome ‘done the right way’, than get the right outcome done in a way they feel is anything less than absolutely ideologically perfect. You’re right, it’s a performance - all about the self rather than the issue they claim to care about

No, they're liberal. Liberal and the traditional left wing are not the same thing. Problem is the modern left has been taken over by liberals (who've also taken over the Conservative Party). That's why all equilibrium has been lost. The uni-party are basically the Lib Dems.

Tories are also often pro-mass immigration because it keeps rents high (a lot of Tory MPs are landlords) and wages low (which suits their donors).

Thanks.

It's my view that these days, there is an element of the left that is more concerned with performativeness than actual politics and social change, and as a result, its attitude is dishonest, disingenuous, hypocritical and not really vastly different from the right as it's just as rigid and wilfully blind. And it means it loses support.

Can I say that? We shall see.

All men pose a risk to women but certainly important large numbers of men from cultures where violence to women is more predominant poses a greater risk.

I know I'd rather be locked in a dark room with 10 old men than 10 young men so pretending all risk is the same is dishonest.

@ThatCyanCat what a shame that was deleted. I read it, and thought it was spot on, and not at all abusive or boundary-crossing. But hey ho.

No idea why my post was deleted, it wasn't abusive, it was simply a precis of the points I'd already made, for someone who claimed not to be able to follow them. I suppose if they really want to understand then they can reread. It isn't actually difficult.

Nothing interesting or surprising there. It’s to be expected in a country where the majority is white. Something would have to be very , very wrong to have it the other way around.

Will you be running out of stock replies soon?

😂😂😂

Again you're refusing to engage in the discussion because you don't have anything of worth to contribute.

You’re talking far too much sense so certain posters will say they have no idea what you are on about.

Ironically, that should mean it's right up your alley.

Come back when you actually want to effect change.

Again, not making any sense.

Yes - I doubt the Indian men able to come here legally are representative of India as a whole. But you're evading my point - no one seriously thinks that all cultures treat women equally well or badly. Look at the wide variations in the age of consent for starters.

Shout and perform, mate. It makes you happy as people increasingly leave the theatre.

Interestingly in terms of ethnicity white males were still the most likely to be in prison followed by mainly European ones....

I don't have any stats to hand for per capita sexual offenses in the UK by nationality - I do suspect it would differ from eg Germany or Sweden as, in particular Germany took massive amounts of asylum seekers, in a very chaotic and unvetted way at one point.

The majority of non-British UK residents will be here on visas still.
