Very sick of purplewashing everywhere, especially by the right-wing. They only care about women’s safety when they can weaponize it. The rest of the time they’re all for making women’s lives a living hell.
It’s like the republicans in the US. They only care about abortions so they can control people’s behaviour. Once a kid is born they couldn’t give a flying spanner about them. That’s why they’re so big on cutting social care. They’re all disaster capitalist scumbags.
“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.
This is why you should never vote for Reform even if you sort of agree with them. They need immigrants in order to fuel their hate based rhetoric. If they actually deported them, who would their voter base rail against?
Reforms MO is to find a group of people to blame for the current situation (because it can’t be then) and then beat them over the head with abuse but never actually do anything about the problem.

(Gestures broadly at the US where trans people are being more harshly persecuted than here on TERF island, where citizens with a different skin tone other than off-creme are being deported, where the poor and the sick are being cut off from financial aid because they’re “lazy”, and finally where the fucking head of the health department is making a list of all autistic and neurodivergent people)
Gee, I wonder where they’ll find a new enemy.
Reform or more accurately Far rage. Is hired to draw attention from the real issue. The increase in inequality between rich and everyone else in the UK. (Plus most of the western world)
As a larger and larger amount of income generating assets are moved into the hands of a smaller % of the population. Increases in the cost of everything including those assets is to be expected.
/gen what do the statistics say?
Pedos run the country.
Charlotte Church has the best character arc.
How come?
The guardian writes about her an awful lot but I have no idea who she is. She seems very involved in protest movements. She may be a musician or something because there’s a lot about her pulling out of her festival but I don’t know if that just means she’s not attending or is that means that she was booked.
she’s been in the news from way before too… :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_Eye#"Paedogeddon!"
There was a tabloid campaign against Morris, who refused to discuss the issue. The Daily Star decried Morris and the show. The Daily Mail ran a headline describing Brass Eye as “Unspeakably Sick”, quoting Beverley Hughes. The Observer accused both papers of hypocrisy; it noted that the Star article was positioned adjacent to an article about the developing bust of 15-year-old singer Charlotte Church, and that the Mail’s coverage was preceded by “close-ups” of the “bikini princesses” Beatrice and Eugenie, who were 12 and 11 at the time
Pointing out hypocracy in conservatives without even trying
I know her from her opera singing. I believe she started as a child
