Why are governments putting women and girls at higher risk of sex crimes?

607 replies

Fact: Hundreds of thousands of men are entering Europe (as in the continent), from countries where women and girls are second class citizens.
**
Fact: The sex crime rate statistics associated with different nationalities living in the UK have been published. An example is provided below.
**
**Facts:
….the [sex crime] rates, based on convictions per 10,000 of the population put Afghans, with 77 convictions, at the top with a rate of 59 per 10,000 – 22.3 times that of Britons.
**
They were followed by Eritreans, who accounted for 59 convictions at a rate of 53.6 per 10,000 of their population.
**
Britons accounted for 12,619 sex offence convictions, representing a rate of 2.66 per per 10,000 of their population in England and Wales.
**

**
Fact: This example data blows up any erroneous claims from people suggesting that British men commit more sex crimes when numbers in the population are accounted for / are more likely to commit a sex crime.
**
There’s above is factual data. It is not racist to provide it. To claim this, is quite simply, wrong. Perhaps it’s projection, the mind boggles.

To want ‘no debate’ and bleet on with incorrectly placed accusations of racism, is to shut down people’s valid concerns.

Tin hat on for the people who want no debate on this issue, and instead of protecting women and girls, insist on protecting men from countries where women and girls are treated as second class citizens.

More data has been promised.

Are you blaming immigrants rather than the government for not buidling enough houses?

And net imigration is considerably down from the high of 2023

I'm blaming our Governments for rubber stamping enough immigration that our population has increased by millions over the last few years.

Our housing situation would be a lot stronger with millions fewer people.

qualitative primary source from mirgrant hotelworker
Covers experiences of high level drug use

Attitudes towards female staff, proity access to nhs, choice of new iPhone or Samsung, aggression towards staff due to food choices etc

That interview has been fact checked and debunked, and the man in question has links to Reform. Not a reliable source at all.

Immigration yes. Individual immigrants no. Government policies yes.

The fact checker is there to find. The man in that video is what we in the biz call 'lying'. Because he has an agenda.

Reform is a political party. "Having links to reform" makes him an unreliable source? Only if having links to Labour makes you one.

Apologies to the poster quoted..replying to the previous poster.

I make a point to avoid all YouTube videos, particularly those on all extremes where people present themselves as purer than the driven snow and absolutely right in their opinion.
They usually include half truths, mis and disinformation, and outright lies.

Edited

Having links to Reform whilst telling lies about what asylum seekers do and do not get definitely does make you an unreliable source...

Do you mean the man being interviewed?
Your saying he's lying about what encountered working in a hotel?

Yes. His interview has been fact checked against government sources detailing what asylum seekers in hotels are entitled to, and he has been found to be lying. Asylum seekers do not get £70 a week plus all meals. They do not get iPads and iPhones. Those things are lies.

If you want to believe the lies, well...

From gov.co.uk

‘Universal Credit and other benefit payments are provided for different purposes and are intended to cover a broader range of costs.’

Perhaps what the man in the video alludes to.

That would top it up somewhat. Suitably vague of course.

The idea that up to a million people a year can move to a country and not affect the availability of housing is completely laughable. Who are you kidding?

A million people moving into the uk, of which 450/500k are students, they move into halls and student accommodation.

They’ll be a 3/4 year cycle and students are counted in immigration numbers and net figures as they leave.

it does though reduce the figures by a considerable amount

That doesn't say they all get UC, but nice try.

poetryandwine · 29/08/2025 08:50

For clarity, the gov.uk website is very clear that asylum seekers are not eligible for UC.

@pointythings 😂😂 what? I never said it did. How bizarre. In fact I said ‘suitably vague’. I know you’re probably getting increasingly upset with the gvt you voted for. I don’t blame you. But you don’t need to put words in the mouths of others so blatantly.

The government says the attached.. 🤷‍♀️

Besides it’s detailing the thread. There are many other places people discuss benefits and so on. It’s not my area. I just looked at the governments own website. It’s all there for anybody to see. I believe there are charities helping out also.

Yes, OP. This says that UC is provided for other purposes and not to asylum seekers. There is nothing in the least vague about it.

TopPocketFind · 29/08/2025 09:01

It is indeed there for everyone to see, so the lies spouted by that bloke on youtube are very easily debunked.
