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?

I KNOW that plenty of the men who come are not evil and don't want to commit sexual assault. But clearly a number who have come are, and there's strong evidence that male migrants are disproportionately lileky to do so.

This almost surely at least partly caused by misogynistic culture in various areas meaning back home they perceived uncovered women as permissible to assault. But surely they know it's different here? That they will likely be caught? They are at least more likely to be punished here for assault.

Or are they convinced our police system will let them off?

Or they're not aware our norms are different?

Or just don't care about the consequences?

I wonder also if criminals are in a sense selected for since they may have little to tie them to their home countries, or even be escaping punishment there.

Could it be France wouldn’t take them? They’re not French citizens and so no need to take them. We could of course go to war with France 👀

Could it be the military won’t get involved? Already the navy said no when these ideas were floated previously.

Its not asylum claimants making it shit in the U.K. but I doubt you’d listen to those facts - but a genuine question now - if all asylum claimants were barred from the U.K. would that be sufficient to settle you, or would you then want to look at refugees granted asylum already, anyone with LTR?

I do think that actually there is little consensus on who people wish not to be here - and this will be a problem - some focus on hotels, some on Islam, some on non British - a huge range of ideas and I doubt many could be satisfied.

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.

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

No need to bring in foreign criminals as well.

@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 ??

The Migration Observatory agrees with my opinion.

Ben Brindle, a researcher at the Migration Observatory, who carried out the analysis, said: “I think it’s likely that asylum seekers are more likely to commit crimes, but that’s in good part due to some of the other characteristics that those people tend to have.
“For instance, asylum seekers are more likely to be young men and young men are more likely to commit crime. In a perfect world you’d want to be comparing a young male Brit to a young male asylum seeker to try and account for that but we can’t do that with the statistics that we’ve got.”

Why does he agree ? Because it is what the data tells him. No emotions involved at all.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

The US took more than the U.K. - so this is absolutely dreadful but a small percentage - don’t forget the absolute trauma everyone took away from Afghanistan either - some of this was knowable and support/integration could have helped.

By head of population, migrant men commit far, far more sexual crimes than indigenous men.

But you seem very confident that the per-capita figures are correct.

And my position is they are not because they don’t compare the same demographic cohorts.

Which is exactly what the guy said.

Tragic as that case is, it was not cold blooded murder. Murder is premeditated.

I do think that both Cookson and the owner should have been given longer sentences, but I think she was convicted of gross negligence so sentencing guidelines are followed.

They are copying our culture. We have a culture of controlling and abusing women and girls.

Our culture is one of misogyny so you could say they listened when the white man said "When in Rome...."

Absolutely what are your plans for removing visas for all men?

Nope but we do not play oppression olympics and minimise what women and girls in the west experience. When 90% of girls in our schools are sexually abused by boys then we have a major issue here. To say it is not a problem as 99% girls in Sudan experience so it is worse....really just says it is not a problem that our girls are sexually abused day in day out in school.

All have the same root cause....misogyny!
