7 afghans charged with human trafficking. Most from Norfolk, one from Scotland an eighth the CPS will have to extricate from Ireland. They're accused of trafficking young teens.

They're uk refugees officially.

Aibu to say charge, if found guilty ship them back to Afghanistan?

These are not the first Afghan refugees who have committed sexual offences against girls and women. They come from a society where women have no worth as humans, only as sexual devices.
This kind of thing needs to be cracked down on because it's an absolute gift to the far right. (As are those who seek to excuse it).

Are you really?

Hmmmn!

However, just in case.. maybe with your sympathy towards these rapists-probably just refugee and foreign ones with your shouts of "racist"--then maybe you are doing these girls and women a dis-service and should stop immediately .

With friends like you, they hardly need enemies. Disgraceful,

This! Imagine if the victims of rapes committed by refugees saw the comments that poster is making! If I was a rape victim I wouldn’t want that person’s ‘help’! No way!

The victim-survivors I assist largely have similar views to me - I know because many have raised with me that they feel that their horrendous experiences and pain have been co-opted, against their will, by the right wing and people like you. It makes them fearful of speaking out about their experiences because they worry that people like you will use it to push an agenda and a point that is not their own.

I have shown no sympathy for rapists in any of my posts. Perhaps you struggle with basic reading and comprehension skills? In any event, I don’t think it is worth continuing to engage.

Yeah sure they do! And I’ve just seen a flying pig! 🤣
Because rape victims would talk to you about politics and somehow spin it into some weird conspiracy about Nigel Farage and reform and call other rape victims “waaciiissstttssss”. You don’t sound very professional at what you do if your job is to help rape victims but you push your political views on them! In fact I don’t think you have any idea at this point just how loony you sound, to the point you’re just gaslighting for gaslight’s sake now lol

Do you think men here don’t rape, traffic and abuse women and girls? I work with victims of such crimes and you are not only wrong to think this is purely a “culture” issue but you are an appalling person to try to turn these girls’ horror and pain into a chance to score racist political points.

The sheer ignorance of people who support right wing agendas because they think those groups or parties genuinely care about women and girls makes me weep.

I’ve been to Morocco, Turkey and Tunisia and it was obvious that there’s a culture difference in how they view woman. Would you you be more scared of your daughter visiting Australia or Afghanistan? We all know men here can be creeps and rapists but to deny there are any differences with woman’s rights and treatment is ignorant. There’s literally documentaries and articles about how woman have been treated in Afaganistan and Iran but if the men come here we’re supposed to pretend they have the same views about woman as us and if we don’t it’s racist! There will be evil men here and lovely men from the Middle East but there’s no getting away from even the micro cultural differences and if woman here are more at risk because of that then we should be allowed to voice concerns without being called racist

EasternStandard · 22/05/2026 19:58

The vote is very much yanbu. Women and girls can’t be the collateral and vetting service. Even if the men are imprisoned and deported the crime can’t be reversed.

randomchap · 22/05/2026 14:05

Wouldn't it be better to jail them here rather than send them back to Afghanistan where they will be able to abuse more women? Or do Afghan women mean nothing to you?

Er, why should British taxpayers fund this? Bizarre.

I don't think it is. You are not fit to engage on a thread where women are speaking about rape.

You made an initial balls of it by deciding to call anyone who brought the nationality of these rapists into the discussion, a racist.

Then you try some incoherent, badly put together argument when called out on it.

Then you up the odds, by saying that you help rape victims and they have "similar views" to you-those similar views being that some rapists suffer from racism.

That is unbelievable by I imagine almost every woman on this board.

To think women are worried about this is astonishing, to think they worry about their rapist suffering racism.

Then, when posters call you out on it, you highlight me-good-you've picked on the right one- and suggest I don't know how to read or, if I can struggle with comprehension.

I think it's clear that any poster who can make sense of your word salad, disgusting thoughts and-later-deflection, has better reading (and for that matter, writing) skills than you.

No rapist deserves any sympathy.

Of course, many who are not British, will find foolish women to shout "racist" on their behalf and, you, are a high smelling example of that.

To then learn-if you are to be believed- that you support rape victims is nothing short of breath taking.

Unlike you, I will not say that all rape victims agree with me but speaking on behalf of one rape victim-myself-I shout from the rooftops that you are a fucking disgrace.

Luckily, I don't believe you are involved with any rape victims because no woman who has been a rape victim would want to be within 50 miles of you.

What has that got to do with your reference to beastie house????

You asked “why let more of them in then?”

I assume you weren’t referring to the Beastie house considering none of them were immigrants.

I was referring to you making excuses for men coming here on boats and raping women and children because of Beastie house! So I said why should we let more rapists in?

HobGobblynne · 22/05/2026 20:07

If you’re in support of bringing Shamima Begum back to the UK, I’d say YANBU.

If you think she should stay put, then YABU.

Kitestring · 22/05/2026 20:15

Even if they are deported they will back on a boat.

morgan56 · 22/05/2026 20:25

Prisons are full, it will be interesting to see what sentences they receive. Absolute scumbags.
They should absolutely be deported, but I bet they won’t be.

Your risk isn’t as high as it is for women and girls though. Look at the 97% vote on a female dominated forum.

Confusing! So you think because social services let down those poor children on the beastie house then it’s ok to let any old rapist from countries where women are second class citizens into the country?

please explain your weird logic

Southwestten · 22/05/2026 20:35

if woman here are more at risk because of that then we should be allowed to voice concerns without being called racist.

I agree. If the authorities hadn’t been so terrified of accusations of racism then maybe the crimes committed by Axel Rudakubana & Valdo Calocane could have been avoided.

They don’t seem to be able to answer that question with any logical answer and just resort to calling people “racists” and saying that boat migrants raping women and children is ok because white men born here do it.
It’s the same lines being churned out over and over again across various similar threads but when challenged, they have no answer. Why? Because there is no logic in what they’re saying so instead of coming up with a logical answer they just go around in circles repeating the same dumb rhetoric. It’s nothing short of gaslighting and pulling the racist card every time a discussion thread is posted about the subject. It’s becoming extremely boring, repetitive and quite frankly laughable!

Its as if they have been brainwashed by some weird cult and just spew out the same robotic shit over and over again.

And as I said we can’t just ban men from coming in.

We will never not have migration.

It will never not exist and there’s no point in saying things like ‘stop letting them in’ because it’s never going to happen.

If you’re suggesting not allowing men in from certain countries because they might be rapists then that’s silly because as we know from things like the Beastie house, it’s any man from any country.

Absolutely not.

A convicted rapist should not be allowed in any country (apart from being deported to their own) but after that they should not be allowed to travel.
They should have very strict movements restrictions, to always ensure they are being monitored.

But no one on this thread has said any different though have they, so I’m not sure why you’re implying that I sympathise with rapists or want to welcome them in my country.

It really annoys me when people can’t have a discussion about things like this without suggesting that they’re pro-rapist just because they have a different opinion to you.

Please show me where I’ve said to allow rapists into the country……

Nobody said we will never not have migration. But we SHOULD NOT be having hundreds of undocumented men coming into the country and have them dumped in our communities and being allowed to rape women and children! I’m not sure what is so difficult to understand?? Again another ideology that we should just accept ALL migrants and group illegal migrants together with legal ones just because we will ‘always’ have migration. Another non argument!

The government is doing fuck all about the current “refugee” system and anyone who protests about it are called “far right racists” by both the government and idiots on this thread! Oh and to add to the mix, this dumb theory that it’s ok for undocumented boat men to come here and rape women and children because…. Beastie House!

The asylum system won’t pick up this. There will be men who are not convicted and can’t be checked because the countries they leave from don’t have those systems in place.

FleurDeFleur · 22/05/2026 21:03

There’s no one thing but as we all know, women and girls are more at risk by people they know (close friends and family members) and so this message needs to be drilled into people.
Some people fear a refugee but will happily bring a man they’ve met a handful of times into their homes with their young DCs.

Schools should have more funding and be able to deliver lessons on respect and consent etc.

Social services needs more funding and a better support for social workers - in the majority of cases, SS are aware but the high staff turn around or just not enough times meant things go unnoticed.

Services like the police, SS, schools etc should all have a better system of communicating with each other. As this is also a reason as why things go unnoticed/ unpunished.

And much harsher sentences for SO.
There should be mandatory chemical castration.

Where have I said we should accept ALL immigrants?

That would be stupid, we are a tiny island and due to stricter EU rules we now have a lot less emigration and we can’t handle as much immigration as before.

Please show me where I (or anyone on this thread) has said we should accept ALL immigrants……
