i didn’t admit anything - it’s a fact. I don’t know, you don’t know. You’re choosing information that leads you to a conclusion, so am I. But we’re in different places.
I didn’t say anyone was racist or xenophobic. I believe women, including all the women raped and assaulted by the men they know, and whose stories don’t make it to the news. A sizeable number of men are a risk, wherever they come from. I’ve no reason to think these men are more or less dangerous than the ones who protest in Southampton or Stockport, about a third of whom had convictions for domestic violence.
I think it would be sensible to have some restrictions on movement outside the barracks, and some useful activity to do in there. Given there isn’t, it’s no surprise the men in these places go out and hang around.
But arguing about it isn’t going to change it, nor is the petition. If people had just shut up about hotels this wouldn’t be happening in leafy villages, where arguably the risk might be but certainly will feel heightened because of the absence of anything at all to do.
