To wonder why so many male migrants have committed sexual assaults:even if they are evil people, wouldn't staying in the UK be an incentive to abide by the law?

The us offered an Afghan asylum for helping them and then he shot 2 guardsmen.

It is possibly actually less shocking from ‘their culture’ than the guys who continue to do this from ‘our culture’ - if you are following the line of argument on here.

Well we offered 20,000 Afghans safety if they supported us in the war - so there’s that reason for some.

Similarly, previous settlement schemes for Syrians. Also ongoing , if very limited, safe routes from different places.

I would like to live in a country that offers asylum - we don’t help with wars, nor with cutting foreign aid either - but even if we didn’t then many refugees are already here and some will continue to arrive and some from different cultures will be here/come here on visas to help prop up our country.

So actually whether you want ‘them here’ or not there will always be refugees from other countries, visa holders filling the gaps, and I think teaching and supporting integration can only be a good thing.

Everyone just ignores these cases when they happen. People just ignore the per capita data which clearly shows more danger than the local/native population.

Well it is but its shocking that they should even think it's ok to shove their dicks where they are not wanted.

Again. These shouldn't be needed in the first place. Why do you want these people here?

This is fascinating. You are reading something that is not there. Ben does not agree with you. He is stating the data is not there. And speculating on what he thinks is likely to be there and why.
Its noteworthy that the speculatively explanation he offers is one that fits with his political opinions, so yes there is arguably some emotion in his reply. Another possible explanation for higher rates of rapes by asylum seekers is because of the culture they come from. And there will be other possible explanations, and possibly a combination of explanations ( youth plus culture, for example).

The fact is, we don't know because as Ben says, the data is not there.

You say that like it’s all bad - it’s good Norway works on integration. We should do more of that here.

They had to give them anti rape lessons in Norway

@Weeallthewayhome it's all very well saying stay here if you respect our laws/ ethics and customs but who is going to tell them what they are and make sure that they understand what they are especially around women esp as it's often interwoven with their religion and is all that's been taught ??

Again. We should deal with our own. And she was imprisoned.

No need to bring in foreign criminals as well.

I think Rupert Lowe has the right idea.

Stay here if you respect our culture, traditions, preference not to be raped or rig our voting system.

Otherwise we have no obligation to feel afraid on our own streets.

And I’m not the only who thinks like this by an astonishing degree. Ten years ago I would have concerns about feeling this way.

Now I don’t care. I’ve had enough of imported violence and rape and murder.

You call 40 month prison sentence for "cold blooded m*rder" of a baby DEALING WITH ????

Everyone knows that men, especially young men, commit the most crime, including sexual crime. That’s been true since forever and holds true across all countries. The significant majority of illegal migrants are from that exact cohort ie young men. It is not unreasonable for people to be concerned about allowing in thousands of people from the exact demographic that is most likely to commit crime. I think people would be more sympathetic to, and relaxed about, illegal immigration if those coming in that way were older women, rather than younger men. I understand why that isn’t the case though.

Obviously there would be a limit on numbers as we could only accept women and kids who have british citizens willing to sponsor them for six months. We do have a duty to help genuine refugees and this would be the best way to ensure those refugees integrate properly.

Young men with nothing to do, no structure or purpose are always an issue for societies to deal with regardless of their background

But I do not think we can no longer ignore that young men who are coming form countries where misogyny and violence towards females is accepted or just ignored, plus where views of western woman as being seen as less respectable you are more likely to have men that will sexual assault women as they see it as their right to, violence breeds violence and ignoring this puts women and girls at more risk.

I think many underestimate the disregard towards western women in some cultures that many men and woman have. Western woman are seen being less than woman from their culture and are often considered woman of loose morals where so much emphasis is placed on woman's respectability/their chastity in their culture

Too many people are too nervous to even discuss this, for fear of what exactly I do not understand so the likes of Nigel Farage are allowed to run with it, which helps no one but the likes of Farage

Don’t answer questions they will bend themselves into pretzels to avoid!

Yes, why not? We can’t just leave vast swathes of the globe to be ruled over by despots while small islands take the population of their countries. It’s madness.

We deal with and imprison our own

And we have come a long way in the UK , and even then we are struggling to keep women safe !.and now it feels like any work we have done is just ruined because of the sheer volume of men who have come from totally different cultures.

I notice you didn't come back to me over whether you believe Pakistani women are more likely to lie about domestic abuse than western women, or if you'll accept Pakistani men are more likely to commit domestic violence. Which is it?

And we don't value women and their safety we have seen that with the whole trans issue recently and many other circumstances.

No Ben Bridle confirms that (male) Asylum seekers are more likely to commit crimes in the UK than (male) British nationals.

He then speculates that this maybe due to the fact that the asylum seekers tend to be of a younger age but he cannot confirm this because the data is not available.

So in an ideal world the Government would publish that data but it won't for fear of creating anger in the public or for fear of being accused of racism.

That leaves us with the data we have that does indeed show that asylum seekers are more likely to commit crimes including sex crimes than UK nationals.

To those people like you, how would you explain the deafening silence of the media when Kimberly Cookson m*rdered a child NOAH SIBANDA in a nursery in Dudley??? I bet this is news to a lot of of folks here!

This. The willful ignorance from the ‘it’s just men’ people is staggering. I interviewed an afghani women asylum seeker. Young woman who lived in Kabul inbetween the Taliban regimes. She had a good education and her middle class father had been very keen on her and sisters all getting a good tertiary level education. She was a refugee as her fiancé was not a Muslim and her Father and family were going to murder her for this.

Different cultures are actually different and people behave differently accordingly.
