AIBU to think something significant needs to be done by the government to stop these horrific events occurring?

'Afghan men 'fled UK in lorry after raping girl'

Mobile phone footage recovered from Safi's phone showed the men in the lorry laughing and gesticulating, which Hetherington said suggested they thought they "got away with it".

When they were found by French police in Calais on 3 December, they were returned to the UK.
Hetherington said the trio had no travel documents or identification and had given false names to French authorities.
After their real names were checked on police systems, they were arrested on suspicion of rape.
Sali, of St Werburghs, denies one count of human trafficking and two charges of rape.
Habibkheil, of Lockleaze, denies one count of human trafficking and one charge of rape.
Ahmadzai, of Redcliffe, denies one charge of rape and one charge of assault by penetration.
The 16-year-old also denied one charge of rape.
The trial continues.'

Actually the evidence shows that once you control for age and socio economic background, then yes white men are exactly as bad. But don't let facts get in the way of a good prejudice

Because they are racist cunts?

Australia doesn’t have the same issue. But they voted for different policies and won’t change them no matter who is in power.

Indeed

Because there were already simmering tensions and community cohesion was breaking down. You’ve tried to simplify it by screaming racism - because that word has power alongside Nazi, but as with any subject there are historical nuance and complexities within any country/population.

That may or may not be true. Australia has a different history to the UK but what’s their line on women’s single sex spaces? I’ve noticed that seems to be the litmus test for what is coming down the pipe.

Yes indeed. Why is it unionists that are rioting, for example?

Poor basoon doesn't realise that people like basoon have caused the word racist to be almost meaningless, bit like their erroneous use of 'far right'

Idk every state view on that which might be slightly different but it looks pretty bad. They won’t change in asylum policy though even now a centre left gov is in. No one would say yes go back to deaths at sea.

Australia think men can be women. Women have no single sex rights in Australia, therefore. It's always been a misogynistic country.

What's your take on the role of the loyalist paramilitaries in the riots? Immigration again? 😂

The UK and Human Rights worry more about the illegals and killers than safety of the British public…. Just watch the news.

Well yeh that’s bad. But separate to asylum policies.

Actually @basoon , both Catholics and Protestants were banding together in the riots. There were apparently joint meetings.

Mainly loyalists actually spectator.com/article/why-is-it-mainly-loyalists-rioting-in-belfast/

That shouldn’t make me smile but it rather proves the point that a common enemy is required for bonding and cohesion.

The murder rate will never be zero.

Immigrants are less likely, proportionally, to commit violent crimes than white British men.

However, if you wanted to rape someone and you found out that in the UK, 3 teenage boys can commit 11 counts of rape of 2 children and get no prison time, you might think that the UK is a good place to come and rape someone. Perhaps we should start properly dealing with rapists of all colours instead of worrying about their skin colour.

No they weren’t. There was one vague report about one area, by and large it was loyalist groups rioting in their own areas.
What joint meetings? Every single piece of material created to spread the word for these riots originated and spread by loyalist groups.

It doesn’t prove a point because it’s rubbish. Even the location for these riots will give you a clue about the demographic involved.

You are constructing a massive straw man by ascribing things to another poster they have not said and using it as the base for an ad-hominem attack. Finished off with a threat of course. Always the same.

Why does a word that has lost all meaning trigger the far-right so badly...

In what percentage of cases is ethnicity data recorded? In a study on group based sex crimes linked to on another thread, the ethnicity of perpetrators and victims was only recorded in 29% of cases. Is ethnicity data better recorded for other crimes?

Does it? Where are the far right?

If this is the only thing Farage addresses when he gets to be Prime Minister, it will be worth it.

Let's not let unpleasant facts affect our opinions here. Much better just to believe any old unsubstantiated shite that suits our narrative.
