You literally couldn’t make this shit up.

This country is broken.

Reform should send David Lamey a big thankyou note for this gift.

There isn’t any. The real statistics will show again and again that white British men are the most dangerous men in this country (and probably the planet too but that’s a whole other story).

British men are the most dangerous men on the planet?

Because he will be punished and go to prison for the crime he committed. The law is working as intended.

What isn’t working however is the horrific slander that people who claim asylum to this country have to go through because of a few bad eggs, who may have been influenced by British society to commit those crimes so I don’t even know why people are blaming Eritrea or wherever they lived previously. Maybe we should look at our own culture before pointing our fingers at others who we see as ‘inferior’.

Its not a few bad eggs, ask the women and girls living near these hotels.

I blame Eritrea (and similar cultures) as many are coming from there who have committed these crimes. The attitudes towards woman from men in these countries are horrendous and we don’t need to add this to the struggles women already have here. These views don’t change when they step off the boat.

I’m a daughter of an immigrant and held pro immigration/asylum seeker views until fairly recently until I saw it badly the affect the areas where I’m from and friends who still live there.

@Swiftasthewind

so you think that someone who has been living in the U.K. for a few weeks is influenced by British culture to rape people?

Reporting to the police? On what grounds? No one here is telling anyone to hurt asylum seekers, just questioning government policy about who can come to the country. This is not a hate crime. can you not see how you are a parody of liberal nonsense. You are the type of person who would have prevented people talking about the grooming gangs. It is not racist to want lower immigration and to question an immigrant’s capacity to contribute. It is not racist to question whether certain communities views of women need to be considered in the debate on immigration. Unfortunately, people like you are the reason why crime statistics have not been correctly recording crimes by migrants (according to the famous right wing extremist Louise Casey - obviously not, in case you struggle with sarcasm as well as free speech).

Fighting for our rights as women does not involve making up false claims about a group of people and scapegoating them to make ourselves feel better. It’s like the so called ‘grooming scandals’ that the media won’t shut up about, despite the actual threat being our own fathers, uncles, brothers and friends.

A system that vets would be better. Why do you need to have this chaotic and risky system in place? Why defend it?

Why not blame a man?

Ok , a male asylum seeker.

matresense · 25/10/2025 09:32

So @Swiftasthewindyou think that a man who comes from a country that practises FGM and honour killings and marital rape is likely to be more enlightened in his views than your brother or father? You must have terrible male relatives!

But that's exactly what YOU are doing. Scapegoating the British to justify your own false claims?

TheaBrandt1 · 25/10/2025 09:32

I read about these two awful cases in the Guardian. So it’s not right wing media amplifying then.

StrongLikeMamma · 25/10/2025 09:34

You Reform lot do know white men kill women every week right?

LifeChangingMoments · 25/10/2025 09:34

I'm actually torn between voting for a party who will manage to get a grip on immigration, and protecting my family members who are disabled, as I believe Reform will make their lives much worse.
I genuinely don't know which party will look after our own vulnerable people and at the same time take a hard stance on immigration.

'So-called'? Do you not think those men were groomers?

@StrongLikeMammanot reform. But yes I do know that. And it is a big issue. Do you accept that certain migrant communities commit crimes at a higher rate per 1000 than white men and that this is also a problem? And that some of these men could just not be allowed into the country, so that we only have the British monsters to deal with?

Do you understand that deciding all men from a particular country are the same is racist?

TheaBrandt1 · 25/10/2025 09:40

British men are the the most dangerous on the planet?! Is that a joke?!

Try walking down a street in Cairo dressed modestly albeit in western dress as a twenty something woman and tell me how you get on. I have tried this. Hard do not recommend!

Low paid legal migration is irrational when we have millions of welfare dependents not working in this country. Why bring in people who need taxpayer support while we are already subsidizing people who could do those jobs. Thats a triple whammy.

Legal immigration should be limited to net contributing migrants. Especially since we have 25 years of open borders and half the population in this country now being net takers.

I suspect your angle is anyone questioning anything about immigration is racist? Because you’re not interested in logic or rationale, or things are paid for, or that borrowing and printing money to subsidize people is leading this country to a financial disaster, you’re driven by blind ideology. If you weren’t, you’d know that financial implications of low skilled immigration are dire for this country.

I suspect your angle is anyone questioning anything about immigration is racist? Because you’re not interested in logic or rationale

Well then your suspicion would be wrong.

I simply asked your position on legal migration; as the angle of the thread has drifted from protecting British women and girls from violence by illegal immigrants to issues with legal migration.

See this is exactly the kind of misinformation that the rhetoric on this thread leads to. There is no evidence whatsoever that Egypt is any more dangerous for women than the UK, that is a narrative pushed by right wing media to deflect from the horrendous attitudes towards violence against women and girls in this country.

Stop buying into it people ffs.

The pp was talking about her experience. You seem to dismiss anything to do with the safety of women and girls, why is that?

Really? Really, really? OK, if not Egypt - how about Afghanistan? DRC? Haiti?

AnareticDegree · 25/10/2025 09:47

I think a quick Google will prove you completely wrong, Swift, but as you CBA to answer my questions I CBA to continue a pointless discussion.

As a pp said, it is quite scary your level of argument.
