“Two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse”
I know that’s only “of those who behaved badly enough to get arrested”, but 40% is a pretty high figure.
[Edit] Apologies if this wasn’t clear. This is referring to the far-right rioters who are pretending the asylum seekers are all abusers. The article mentions that two in five (40%) of the far-right who were arrested whilst rioting had existing domestic abuse convictions.

Apparently in one department it was up to 68%. So we have definitive proof they don’t care about women’s rights. Even some of reforms MPs have domestic abuse convictions, which really just goes to show you everything you need to know about them, as if we didn’t already know.
I’m a bit suspicious of the 40% figure. Sure, that’s a high proportion, but what proportion of the far right protesters were sufficiently violent to get arrested? A small proportion, presumably, and those are automatically those more inclined to violence. So it doesn’t seem to say that much, though if I were on the far right I wouldn’t be very happy to be associated with them, for sure.

I don’t understand what you mean, sorry.
I’m referring to the “two in five racists stood outside with flags trying to burn a building down and smashing up the local Greggs and Shoezone”.
This is nothing to do with foreign nationals.
[Edit] Apologies that my previous comment was ambiguous
Ah, my bad, I thought you were referring to a different stat in the article.
