Men in general?

I cant believe all these men who are attending protests and rallies against immigration and then using the argument that these illegals are raping and murdering women.

Funny how these men dont come out and protest when a white man commits these crimes... or do these men think that we, women, belong to the white man?

This is so far from my experience. I do live in a more affluent area and thus likely to have more educated males around.

I’m pleased you’ve had a nicer and safer upbringing. Sadly lots of us don’t.

How do you know?

Because every bad story is a fucking man.

Look at the man who poured milk on himself today and caused delays on the Jubilee line

How big a chunk? Three quarters? Half? A quarter? Put a number on it.

This is a man x

They represent a big chunk of them.

No they don’t

Seem to have entirely too much time on their hands as well as money to waste on these flags and nonsense. If they were truly decent blokes they would spend that time on community service or mentoring youth in their area or even better yet spending more time doing things in their own home to help their own family. They don't though because they're not decent

If I'm calling you out on this it must be because I have a penis. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Troll, anyone?

They are vermin. End of. I doubt if many of them have ever done an honest day's work in their lives.

To me, this highly specific 'concern' for women and children, by men who give 'no fucks about women and children's safety' (to paraphrase a thread on a similar topic) is just another way in which these men seek to use and exploit women for their own selfish ends. To wit, to behave like mindless fucking thugs, but wiv a good reason, right?

From experience. I live locally to one of the hotels that was smashed up and set on fire in August 2024.

All local men. I knew lots of them. I went to school with the man who arranged to have (cheap) England flags attached to all lampposts in our town. There was a gofundme set up for all the “patriots” to buy flags, ladders and cable ties. All local men who donated and got involved. I know most of them.

Yet they are all quiet when a local white man is convicted for domestic violence and/or sexual assault. Silent.

So from my lived experienced, it is a huge group of men, in my area. Granted, this will differ to a lot of people, especially people who live in more diverse or affluent areas. But this is my experience.

We've got enough problems of our own is the thinking behind that.

Why let unchecked immigrants in on boats who we know nothing about. It's adding to the problem.

Note that it's all young men.

My honest suspicion is that these are young men who get all of their information about the UK from internet porn, and that's what they expect when they come here. That's the only explanation for the behaviour we see from them.

Link to your facts please!

But that’s not really addressing OP’s point being made. If the concern is genuinely about crime and protecting women, then why is the focus so heavily on the nationality of the perpetrator? White British men commit violence against women too and we don’t see the same level of outrage or protests about that. You can be concerned about illegal immigration and still recognise that selectively caring about violence against women depending on who commits it is inconsistent.

This.
We are stuck with our own, whatever colour they are.

But why import people from countries that have less than stellar reputations when it comes to the rights of women and girls.
If we have to produce pamphlets to let them know that rape is against the law here, then should we really be importing them in the first place?
if the “small boats” (albeit the vessels are getting bigger by the day), were full of women and children, I think there’d be a huge difference in the response from people. But they never are.

See reply above yours, it's apt.

"Local men" receive much stiffer sentences & social ostracisation after release. "Local men" rarely attack female strangers peacefully going about their business.

I also live close to a hotel that was set on fire. It it so good to be able to use our local lake again now those men have been moved on. I'm grateful to the protesters for their part in ensuring women can once again use our local beauty spot unmolested.

We must live by each other. M lake?

You’re grateful for a bunch of uneducated violent knuckle draggers (with previous convictions for sexual crimes against children, domestic violence and more) for attacking police offices, putting LOCAL workers and residents in harms way and causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage?

Yeah, I fucking bet you are grateful🤣

How embarrassing.

And by the way “Local men rarely attack female strangers peacefully going about their business” is a false statement. But feel free to pull up some sources to back up your claim.

It's common knowledge, and there are plenty of anecdotal examples online from men who speak to foreign men and gather their perceptions of the UK.

Have you seen the videos online of women walking around in the city centre late at night, drunk and with their knickers showing? Those videos are used by human trafficking gangs to entice young foreign men to the UK - that's known. They basically think the UK is a real life porn world.

The proof comes from how sexual offences are committed by British men vs foreign men.

When British men commit sex crimes, it happens in secret - that's because British men know that what they are doing is wrong. They have been told their whole lives that it is wrong to do anything sexual with a woman without her consent, so British men have absolutely no excuses.

When foreign men commit sex crimes... well, you have the example of an immigrant who literally started groping a woman in public, in a busy city centre, during day time, in full visibility of at least a dozen people. That's because he was completely unaware of the fact that this behaviour was wrong. He literally did not know that it's wrong to touch a woman without consent.
