We Shouldn't Need Stats for Migrant Sex Crime

If you import men from misogynistic countries and hypersexualise your own, things are going to get ugly

It was well over a year ago that a clip of me went viral around the world, talking about the sort of harassment and abuse women face in high migration neighbourhoods from men from other cultures.

The video took on a life of its own, circulating widely on all platforms, trending for weeks and provoking much needed discussion. I had sleepless nights worried about the ramifications. Turns out I outmanoevred what I thought would be inevitable cancellation.

Had I really been the first person to speak about this so plainly that it warranted such enthusiastic reception? Hard to imagine but I'm beginning to think that must have been the case. A throw away comment with scant intention suddenly sent the warning shot over the bows.

Well, since then it's become a topic inviting much needed attention. Goo0d.

But…and sorry if you find this petty, I'm pretty peeved at some of the opportunistic right wing male influencers who have seized upon it, realising how potent and provocative it is. I shouldn't be so bitter, but where were they before they suddenly saw thousands of clicks in it? Profiting from women’s misery when they were previously too scared to say anything, now sucking it up as the lead authority on our plight while frankly still not genuinely giving a stuff about our welfare if we were being totally honest. It’s political points to them, not their daily life. A few are almost as bad as their left wing counterparts with their This Is What A Feminist Looks Like t-shirts. I know some of them to be cheaters and liars and baked in sexists suddenly parading online talking about women's safety. Thank you for caring and all, but how about walking the walk as well as talking the talk?

I’m not saying men can't talk about things that affect women and becoming a Cosmopolitan Columnist, but imagine me right now proselytising on erectile dysfunction like I was the expert owner of a penis.

Well, at least it's being discussed.

But others have done some absolutely sterling work and broken into previously uncharted territory with hard to collate research. They've gone where no man has gone before. I'm talking about you, Robert Bates, at The Centre For Migration Control who has managed to scare up statistics that are nigh on bloody impossible to get your hands on. We salute you Rob!

And don't they make for eye watering viewing

When I was asked to make a documentary by The New Culture Forum - who have long been the vanguard of brave campaigning - we only had European statistics on sex crimes by nationality available, all of which showed a very predictable pattern of perpetrators.

But this here is my main grievance. Yes, the nationalities change in each European country, from Somali to Algerian to Sudanese to Syrian depending on which state you look at, but it's all so bloody obvious. The common denominator, as we fearlessly pointed out in the documentary, is Islam.

For which other religion stones women? Forces them to cover up, denies them equal legal rights, treats them as chattle, considers non-believers or women not modestly dressed as fair game to be taken as sex slaves and promises 72 virgins to men that die waging jihad against the enemies of Islam?

Exactly. That's a whole host of problematic right there. So just say so out loud.

Why then should we need to wave around evidence and stats, which are cynically and cravenly concealed or not collected, in order to point out that many men from Muslim countries have barbaric and brutish views of women? And that inviting them to reside in Britain would come at a significant risk to women? It's like continuously pouring poison into a well, and then waiting a decade or two to demand proof that the water is polluted.

And my worry is this. The more we play the game of providing statistical evidence to evade accusation,.the more we are endorsing censorship and confirming taboo, and not having the out loud, hard conversation that needs to happen - and I'm going to sound cliché now - if women are to have a voice. The more the message is that hoards of women have to actually be proven to suffer, before we address the issue, the more fragile our ability to state grievances becomes. Yesteryear modern day feminists have already done a lot to erase our credibility, from hairy armpits to blaming “the patriarchy”, alongside the faux and dangerous narrative that promiscuity is power. ]We already have hard yards ahead. But since when have wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters been so disposable as to need to statistically prove the sort of predatory and perverse behaviour many women are subjected to under the new rules of Trans Lives Matter and Everything Is Racist? Man up! Let's start speaking truth to power and not wait for a woman to trend online and then take centre stage as if you are a White Knight.

So, for the men out there with their moral outrage brimming over on this topic, please ask yourself this: Do you really give a shit about women? Or is this an ego trip and play thing for you?

Do you walk to meet a woman at the station? Would you intervene if she was being harassed? Do you also worry about the corrosive impact of pornography? Do you embrace monogamy and fidelity and want to start a family? Do you think of women as equals, or still somewhere underneath, instead assume we are all batshit crazy? Because the New Right Wing, who choose Georgia Meloni and Alice Wiedl, are showing their credentials. Alas here, in Britain, it's still a Boys Club talking about women as part of a willy measuring competition.

Unless we put down the irresistible clickbait and focus on rebuilding a traditional society, it's all just noise and bluster.

Thank you for getting involved. But you're not on the right side of history…yet.
