Petition

Women in the UK must be free to work, travel and live free of sexual violence

Recently, women across the EU were subjected to mass sexual assaults of a type previously unknown in Europe. We demand that Government brings forward proposals for extra measures to uphold UK women's rights, safety & freedom, and to expand police understanding-recognition-response to such behaviour.

Please take a look and and sign:

Britt noticed your posts about the US. We're moving there this year, with DH having been offered a job in NY which he'll accept as long as the healthcare is good enough as I'm not well. Should be fine, looking forward to it as indeed situation is frightening here with Europe going completely off its rocker. US seems to have open border to Mexico though, and I know some Americans who are worried about Mexi drug cartels - I expect NY is safe enough from them but also heard Jihadis are using this same open border to enter illegally. Evidently there are more Mexicans in USA than in Mexico now - not kidding. What's wrong with borders and why can't they be policed? We have to use our passports and visas but others don't??

PS Britt I agree - LOVE GOVE - Gove for PM!!!!

Thanks for starting this thread people - good to see so many other women are as concerned as I am (and my friends) and to find so many interesting links with info which I hadn't known about.

Try stick to talk guidelines then to keep thread on because there are important things and news yet to come. We have 299 messages now and there is space for 700 more. In the next few days there will be more important news and on 8th March there will be the EU summit on migration. Try to set target to keep it until at least the referendum renewing it. Find graphs, interviews, articles, sympathetic celebrities and boost morale!

BrittEkland · 06/03/2016 19:16

stationtostation78 Can I can with you to NY please? I love NY men. No faffing around.

AMouse I have read these NATO's Chief views last week. NATO and Russia: I don't ever remember them as great friends. There is so much material that we do not know since it is classified.

sportinguista · 06/03/2016 19:47

Yes it will be important to keep this going. We have a turbulent time ahead of us. I was wondering today will we look back on this time and see it as the time when everything changed I wonder?

The summer could be very difficult for Germany and the rest of Europe indeed. Many people we know are planning to vote leave now.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 06/03/2016 20:22

Without a doubt Sports, without a doubt.

its odd how everything comes to cross roads, for instance there would be no hope of a referendum under labour right now.

thank goodness tories got in. we are on the brink of something awful, I don't trust putin one iota and whilst I dont think any of this is engineered I do think as per article way back he is massively taking advantage of it...then we have also lost sight of ISIS in all of this,

I have no doubt they are planning something nasty.

Its a powder keg, i hope people don't vote to keep us IN this huge pile of dynamite.

Erdogan is taking advantage of situation and Merkel is acquiescing to all his demands. Does anyone else wonder how and why she has been allowed to become the unelected head of the EU?

Quaintessential · 07/03/2016 06:23

The Italians are as bad as Merkel. Their unelected government had decriminalised illegal immigration. This article also touches on the disease factor which had crossed my mind. Estimated 1 in 4 migrants have Hep C and scabies is rife.

What Erdogan is doing is disturbing, the country's secular tradition is being dismantled bit by bit in the favour of tradtional Islam. As we can see under this regime there is no freedom of expression or right to protest. I can see us having to offer asylum to a whole swathe of the intellectuals of Turkey who disagree with this move. It will mean the only ones who are left in Turkey are those who agree with this state of affairs or those who cannot get out. Anyone see parallels?

AgainstTheGlock · 07/03/2016 08:46

My Turkish friends (who are western-viewing and able) have left or are very much making plans to be able to do so. One has emigrated to Oz, two work for international companies and have been taking on more and more travel (and perfecting their English) - one was in Cologne just this saturday - I did wonder if I should warn him to stay the fuck away from the ghettos.

The one who won't be able to run is my friend who had her passport taken 25 years ago for having a sit down protest at her university campus in Ankara to protest women's rights.

I do wonder that too

MariscallRoad · 07/03/2016 10:24

The thinking and discussion is the most important

MariscallRoad · 07/03/2016 10:34

British moving out or returning to UK require compliance with new tax rules that started since 3 years ago. So best to clarify with IR.

sportinguista · 07/03/2016 11:22

Inability to discuss and use critical thought and free thought will be the dividing line between who makes it into the future. Refusing to discuss issues in an open way which looks at all viewpoints is the sign of a closed, ignorant mind.

I feel so sorry for your friend Glock, I hope there may be some way she can be safe in these worrying times.

IS are no doubt planning something nasty, it's why they exist, to expect otherwise is quite silly.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 07/03/2016 11:27

I am staggered by it.

Yes we will be adding Turks fleeing this repression to the asylum list.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 07/03/2016 11:29

I see that at last they are trying to send boats back and target people smugglers.

with the belief that once people start to see boats sent back, they will stop trying to get in them. when they stop getting in them, they stop risking their lives. they also stop - funding terrorism.

BrittEkland · 07/03/2016 11:32

Britt im working class. Im teetotal. Ive never been drunk....not once. Ive never touched drugs. Drink and drugs never interested me.

Thank you for sharing the above, HelenaDove, but not quite sure why you are telling me this? I think you may have misread something ......

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 07/03/2016 11:33

Does anyone else wonder how and why she has been allowed to become the unelected head of the EU?

Bank of England man, Merv King said to the effect of, after war, EU set up so other nations not frightened of Germany anymore. But by virtue of being so monetarily strong and powerful, its risen up again but in a different way, and nations are worried about it again, ( not in invasion terms). This is why she is getting to call the shots.

BrittEkland · 07/03/2016 11:41

Swedish politicians seem convinced that some education on "equality" will change the ways of men, who, since childhood, have been taught that it is the responsibility of women not to arouse them -- and therefore the woman's fault if the man feels like raping her.

AgainstTheGlock · 07/03/2016 12:18

I'm middle class and I fucking love drink and drugs - I've also been sexually assaulted by a MENA man in a pub in Brussels (on two occasions).

Do you want me under this bus or the next one?

sportinguista · 07/03/2016 13:15

I'm working class and done lots of drink and drugs. Horses for courses that's what I say. One size does not fit all. For the record I do have a university degree and sound very middle class.

Not sure why Helena feels it's relevant to share that...

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 07/03/2016 14:17

Sorry, I know some are boycotting The Guardian, but a reminder that ISIS are planning "spectacular" attacks and fighters from Syria being encouraged to return to northern Europe.

"But many left the barracks unescorted during their stay and one weekend several went into Cambridge where they committed a string of sexual attacks. Others drank heavily, set fires, disabled alarm systems and smashed windows in the barracks, all of which cost £500,000 to repair"

One despairs.

sportinguista · 07/03/2016 14:32

Lovely behaviour and they wonder why they have a certain reputation...

Palebluedotty · 07/03/2016 14:45

And at the end of the articles it says that three of them are applying for asylum here!
