It is undoubtedly the case that sexual assaults on women didn't start with the arrival of migrants. And if there were no migrants such crimes would still happen.
But it is curious - actually, repulsive would be a better word - that those who claim to be concerned about sexual crimes against women are so sanguine about inviting into the country those from mysogynistic cultures and, as a result, with a propensity to commit such crimes (though that does not apply to all the individuals from those cultures, of course).
It's as if such concern is only useful if it can be used against certain groups and that concern for women is dialled up or down - or into nothingness, in some cases - depending on the perpetrators.
Repulsive.
Have you ever visited any of these misogynistic cultures and could you share with us your experiences?
Because so many on here agree with you doesn't make your brand of prejudice less repulsive. It just shows the level of poster these days
I was in Egypt in about 2005 and the big topic of conversation was whether or not a sentence of death on five teenagers who had raped two girls was fair. It was explaned to me that rape was so rare and the death penalty was so infrequently used that it was considered a serious issue.
The idea that Egyptians who I know to be a hugely cultured people with years of civilization behind them should have a greater proclivity to rape than the alcohol fuelled English is just ignorant prejudice.
"Rape is one of the most common crimes in Egypt.[1] Marital rape is not illegal in the country. By 2008, U.N. quoted Egypt's Interior Ministry's figure that 20,000 rapes take place every year, although according to the activist Engy Ghozlan (ECWR), rapes are 10 times higher than the stats given by Interior Ministry, making it 200,000 per year.[2] Mona Eltahawy has also noted the same figure (200,000), and added that it was before the revolution, today the number is actually higher"

Yep, fair play to him. Makes those poking fun at him showing off Abbott look even more stupid, while they're taking the mick he's shagging his way round London.
Not sure 'dickensian' is a good description of a room full of fresh fruit and other goodies.
To be fair I lived in worse conditions, when I was squatting in London in the early 1980s. At one point I recall there were ten of us sleeping in one room. There was no space for fruit.
I did also squat some exquisite Georgian houses, once I got the hang of it.
When my Aussie ex came to the UK in 1999, she was kipping in a house near London Bridge that was filled with thirty or forty other Aussies and Kiwis - all originally backpackers. There were up to eight people in a room. Some had been there for a couple of years, and it was all utterly illegal.
They was not permanently living there, and it was dirt-cheap accommodation (though the landlord was raking it in). There were apparently two types of people: the ones working in London who wanted cheap accommodation, and newcomers who had just arrived in the country and wanted to stay somewhere safe amongst compatriots.
Only from her description, it was far from safe. She got out within a week and went up to Edinburgh.
Yep, fair play to him. Makes those poking fun at him showing off Abbott look even more stupid, while they're taking the mick he's shagging his way round London.
Cast-iron Dave strikes again.... no ifs, no buts...
David Cameron yesterday retreated over a vow to stop migrants sending child benefit back home. The Prime Minister had pledged to prevent the practice in his election manifesto last year. But last night he signalled he would accept a renegotiation deal under which EU workers would still get the handout but at a lower rate.
How much lower... and for how long before the ECJ overturns it and tells him to pay the full amount.
It doesn't matter how much lower - child benefit is quite clearly to benefit the next generation of Britons, not just to wire into your foreign bank account because you've popped a few sprogs in foreign climbs. A Prime Minister who accepts this has lost it, and a country that accepts a Prime Minister who accepts it has lost it.
It would make sense to scrap child benefit. How much would that save per year? Or put the money into things that benefit kids in this country.
I think we just did a taharrush gamea on Roger. Multiple, similar attacks in the chaos of a pb thread.
Ironic.
I doubt Roger's met many on the lower levels of society in these places he visits anyway. Exchanging pleasantries with a 'friendly' waiter in a 5 star hotel on a jet set film shoot is hardly mixing with the locals.

I've visited many of these mysogynistic cultures, sometimes alongside western women. Morocco to Azerbaijan, Syria to Palestine, Kosovo to Dubai. Morocco. Jordan. Luton. Turkey. Malaysia. India. Indonesia. Kurdistan. I actually lived in Egypt for a while. I imagine I'm one of the few pb-ers who saw Palmyra before ISIS blew it to flinders.
These societies have - or HAD - many attractions, such as a courtliness and a hospitality rare in the west. But they are misogynistic, and this misogyny is getting worse. Denying it is futile, even for someone whose entire life, like yours, has been an exercise in tragicomic pointlessness.
And you found misogyny in Egypt? I've spent weeks there many times and know many Egyptians and have visited the best night clubs in Cairo and the worst. Taken English models boys and girls and I've never seen anything remotely misognystic.
Tunisia and Morocco yes but that's not culture it backwardness. It was the same kind of backwardness you found in Northern towns on drunken Saturday nights. I was with a Lebaneses friend in Soho when we saw two girls having a shit side by side on Bouchier St. He'd never seen anything like that in his 35 years living in Beirut and Istanbul. I was less surprised
A not wholly unreasonable point. But I would still have said that when the best case scenario you can posit on the data is that Labour are standing still after nine months of weak and controversial government following your worst election result in 32 years it is still by any standard an absolutely pathetic performance.
It depends on what you expect. I think that standstill on the back of months of unremitting media assault coupled with substantial supporting fire from parts of your own party is remarkably good. And I do talk to a lot of voters - probably more systematically and with comparison to previous elections than most here. It can be wrong (cf. Broxtowe 2015, to anticipate the jibe), but it's more reliable than the "nah, I can't believe that poll" stuff that some here offer as analysis.
Is it enough to win an election tomorrow? Of course not. Does it tell us with certainty where we will be in 2020? Likewise.

The "community leaders" have already admitted it was their people so where does that line of thinking come from? It even has a name as SeanT pointed out a few weeks ago.
These newly arrived so called " refugees" even went as far as demanding of countries that helped them that the host should immediately change to what they want for example all women cover up and alcohol banned throughout Germany.
This is what I really don't like about this "European Project" as they call it. They are no better than than the many dictatorships through history. A small central Kabul, Unelected, unrepresentative and in it solely for themselves.

I think that you are mistaken. Convictions for rape may be very rare in Egypt, but it is not such a rare offence to actually happen:
'All over the country, reports are pouring in that the police can no longer cope with preventing and investigating the crimes which strike the Swedish people,' reads the leaflet.
'In some cases, for example, in the latest murder of a woman employed at a home for so called ‘unaccompanied minor refugees’ in Molndal, it goes as far as the National Police Commissioner choosing to show more sympathy for the perpetrator than the victim,' it continues.
'But we refuse to accept the repeated assaults and harrassment against Swedish women.'
'We refuse to accept the destruction of our once to safe society. When our political leadership and police show more sympathy for murderers than for their victims, there are no longer any excuses to let it happen without protest.'
A not wholly unreasonable point. But I would still have said that when the best case scenario you can posit on the data is that Labour are standing still after nine months of weak and controversial government following your worst election result in 32 years it is still by any standard an absolutely pathetic performance.

The media assault has not been unremitting. So far they've only really picked at the obvious low hanging fruit (the Falklands, Trident, Hezbollah, the IRA, McDonnell, Milne etc.) and even then they are treating him as a bit of a joke, a sort of old and stupid version of Boris, not as a menace.
This is because at the moment nobody is taking him seriously so it's not worth the effort of going through his Morning Star columns or speeches, or digging up dirt on his precise role in the Islington and Haringey paedophile scandals.
Come an election campaign that could easily change. Then I think you will understand the meaning of the word 'relentless'.
Alarmingly, so far they haven't had to spin anything or make it up. Straight factual reporting has left you - at best - at Miliband's level. From here, as he found out, the only way is further down.
I really, really hope you and your fellow Labour members see that before it is too late.
As noted on previous threads, Corbyn's approval rating is flattered by the 25% of happy Tories. Without them, his already dismal figure falls to bwahaha levels.
