It's all too true and yet again all too depressing. The fact that this woman has to write anonymously tells you everything you need to know about the state of our country. I'm from Telford an have my own stories of abuse from young Pakistani Muslim gangs. I can tell you from personal experience, they're nasty, shameless and completely racist. Nobody gives a shit when i tell them about how i get repeatedly attacked by these gangs growing up, why? Because i was white and they were brown. Yes, that's what it boils down to. Liberals don't like to admit it, they'll ignore it. I won't ever forget about it.

I was assaulted by a gang of Pakistani teenagers back in the early 90s, whilst walking to a minicab office in Slough after a night out. They'd followed me and a friend from the pub, they struck when my back was turned as a I was talking to the minicab lady, no real harm done to me apart from a bruise on my chest, but the police turned up and the lady told them it was the same gang who'd assaulted someone else recently. The police weren't interested in following up, looking at available CCTV or anything. My demanding to know why my identified attackers wouldn't be pursued was met with a threat to jail me for being drunk and disorderly.

Two-tier policing even way back then.

Back in the 90's when I was living in Walthamstow, my car was run into by a car load of young Pakistani men, who are obviously scared of the police arriving. I went to the police station with the reg number of their car and a description of the men, and a Sergent took down the details, told me that he knew the gang and he would go round and get them while I waited at the station. He arrived back empty-handed, but told me that they would be brought to justice. I never heard anymore, so wrote to the Chief Constable asking what had happened, and he replied that the men were never traced and that I 'had been an innocent victim of crime'. There is a good reason for White Flight.

No surprise to me John. Unfortunately my attack was a fair bit more serious. I got my nose broken, spat on, fractured skull - really horrible experience. This was the third and worse one, I was only 14 and everyone was scared of these thugs. Most of them that attacked me are now in prison because they were part of the rape scandal in Telford. Ali Sultan was the ringleader, type his name into google you’ll find him. One of them is now a reformed Muslim living in Saudi, preaching about how holy he is - he added me on Facebook a while ago. No sign of an apology for the multiple unprovoked attacks - i thought he was a man of God now, isn’t forgiveness part of that? I doubt it, more like virtue signalling to clueless followers on social media spouting about how positive he is. This is the hard truth and reality.

If Labour allows enough of these people in, which in turn will persuade many decent white middle-class people to emigrate to countries less blessed with diversity, I'd say that will work out very well for Labour. The only white people left here will be the working-class and the under-class who will have nowhere else to go. They will live like the poor whites of South Africa in their ghettoes. Okay, by then Britain will be a shithole but Labour politicians can be satisfied because it will be THEIR shithole.

Well said! And keep saying it - before Labour tries to ban you from saying it with their thinly disguised blasphemy 'laws' - nothing is more important today. Note Labour's swift and brutal crackdown with severe jail terms for people who dare to say what most people are thinking. This is partly because Labour is scared sh*tless of upsetting a big voting block and their new best friends, whilst happily dumping the working classes who used to support them. It's also partly because they are siding with the biggest bullies in the playground to stay personally safe. Watch what happens to Labour at the next by-election for evidence of a honeymoon period well and truly over. Reform MUST win big at the coming by-elections!

What idiots labour are if they think their Muslim supporters will stay loyal.

After decades of being told correctly by their imams to have nothing to do with democracy because it is incompatible with Islam, Muslims have finally woken up to how they can use our democracy as a Trojan horse against us.

Now they vote tactically in elections to get their own members onto local councils and into Parliament so that they can have greater and greater influence in order to destroy our democracy and our values.

Jess Phillips said she and her helpers had been intimidated and abused throughout her campaign in Birmingham but still refused to call out the Muslims responsible who were haranguing her even as she made her acceptance speech. They had to be thrown out of the hall and still she would not admit the truth we all know.

They hate our freedoms and democracy and are working to destroy them - they especially hate the idea of women being allowed to speak in public and serve in Parliament.

This new blasphemy law protecting Muslims and Islam - no other religious group gets any such legal protections against having their feelings hurt - which is about to be introduced is another symptom of this grovelling behaviour.

I honestly thought I was dreaming recently when I saw a bearded gentleman in traditional Afghan dress celebrating being elected onto Bradford Council as a Green Party member!

Green is the colour of Islam but that is where any similarity ends.

Then I remembered the Greens have an open door immigration policy and the penny dropped.

Muslims have no values in common with Labour or any other mainstream party - soon I predict an Islamic Party of Britain will appear on the ballot.

It is only a matter of time.

And more of our cities will burn.

There's a novel, Submission, by Michel Houllebec (?) which describes the very situation the UK might find itself in in future. The story is that France becomes an Islamic State because the Left do a deal with the Muslim Party in order to stop the Right Wing party getting into power, the Muslim Party seizes control and imposes Sharia.

Indeed. Phillips, of course, subsequently went on to condone the presence of Muslim gangs out and about in her constituency during the recent unrest. Their purpose was (apparently) to "protect mosques" against an imminent "far-right" assault. Except that the said "far-right" incursion never took place, did it? Just who and where were these "far-right" people? Perhaps we should ask a certain Mr. Lowles? Phillips, meanwhile has expressed her regret. I should think so, too. Alas, there are none so blind as those who will not see.

As a father of an 11 year old girl I'm worried about the situation for girls in Europe and particularly the UK right now. We went to London last summer and walked through Leicester Square. I have decided I won't take my children to visit another city in Britain until this situation is resolved. It seems all we can expect from the government is a wreath laying photo op after the next atrocity.

'I have decided I won't take my children to visit another city in Britain until this situation is resolved.'

I suspect you'll have a very long wait. I genuinely believe it will not be within your lifetime. The only thing that could improve 'this situation' is deportations and that is clearly not going to happen. Our betters have imported a problem from the Third World and now we are all stuck with it. I suspect that even the Jess Phillipses of this world are just beginning to acknowledge the problem but even when she finally admits to herself and everyone else that she and her kind have been wrong all along, what can either she, or anyone else, do about it? Nada. We are doomed, as Fraser from Dad's Army (and John Derbyshire) would say.

Probably because “Me Too” wasn’t a true feminist movement. It was an elite movement which gave opportunities for the establishment and luvvies to posture and share their stories. It was never about protecting poor young working class girls of all colours from all communities who were falling prey to in particular feral Muslim men.

Naomi Wolf is one of the very few feminists who has been courageous and of admirable integrity on this issue. She has been shunned by academia, her alma mater, and by so many of those she had once thought to be compassionate and understanding friends.

How refreshing to hear some common sense from the generation who has largely been brainwashed into believing multiculturalism and identity politics is a great thing. I graduated my social sciences degree in 1992 and even then I found it very difficult to raise issues of unfairness in the equalities legislation. I always tried to argue positive discrimination has a counter discrimination effect on other parts of the population. I was shut down and I found after completing my degree many in my year agreed with me but were afraid to speak out and support me in seminars.

I'll say what I've said before. We have to go on the offensive and if by doing so we offend, too bad. I'm now insensitive to the sensibilities of immigrants and indifferent to the plight of refugees. Without us, the indigenous British (the racists and right wing thugs), these people would have nothing. Until the sensibilities and plight of the indigenous British have been addressed don't expect me to stay silent for the sake of societal harmony. Please note Not My King Charles. We must mount peaceful protest under banners which encapsulate the truth irrespective of whether they offend immigrants and refugees or not. Immigrants "contribute" to the economy? My foot. They consume most of what they contribute just like the rest of us and take up space while they're doing it thereby diminishing our quality of life. What the hell do I care about ethnic restaurants if my grandchildren can't find an affordable house. If they'd never come we would have sorted out our so-called demographic problems without them and been a damn sight better off as a result. Farage needs to go for Starmer's (figurative) throat with this message in the Commons.

This is spot on: "If you don’t want people spreading “misinformation” then how about you start by making information available?". However, under the 'new' interpretation and criminalisation of 'misinformation, this lack of 'proper', or 'legal' information means people won't even know when they've been 'spreading misinformation'.

One other point, regarding the described preoccupation with 'MeToo' and all the gender stuff at top universities: for years, nay decades (Afghan war, anyone?) western 'feminists' have been preeminent in their thunderous silence regarding the subjugation of their sisters in islamic countries. After all, saying something unless one was Ayaan Hirsi, was racist, just as girls and female students were deemed to be racist when they didn't want to bed someone belonging to 'that' religion ...

I taught at a college in the E Midlands during the 1990s. Even then car loads of Asian lads would hang around the premises at the end of the day cat-calling and picking students up. A 16-year old in my class disappeared and her friends said she’d been taken against her will to Pakistan to get married. Concerns to the college authorities by worried staff were routinely ignored and this indifference, whatever caused it, has led us to where we are now.

Well, as an ex-counsellor of male victims of domestic abuse and the blatant disregard and inequality of funding, the majority of which goes to the big 3 monopolies, why should I care? Why should any man in this country care?

I find it interesting one of the first things you say is, "We can wear what we want", as if somehow how women dress in society is a virtue when, in reality, women have been pandered to and infantilised to the point of being wilfully blind accomplices of the political destruction of our country and way of life by buying into the strong, empowered women koolaid whilst leaving long historical waves of dead males far outnumbering any war in our world history (gamma bias).

Not to mention the blatant anti-male and anti-family legislation that's been in force since the 80s that destroys men and families every day in our so-called Courts with fake laws nobody asked for, but nobody says a word because it doesn't affect but benefits them—financially.

Maybe check your virtue-signalling before posting in future and realise the REAL victims here. Why? Because they have been quietly and secretly destroyed for at least 5 decades because they are the ONLY demographic that can defeat what we are experiencing. I doubt anyone reading this will not have experienced or know someone who is a victim of this.

We need to wake up fast if it's not too late already. I get it this is about migration, but the seeds have already been sewn—this is not just about one issue. You mentioned MeToo, well part of this takeover is imported feminist communists VAWG one gender is victims of all other demographics thus monopolising funds (have a look on companies house for womens aid) and leaving men unfunded and "deadbeat"—recognise that trope? Yes another popular MSM narrative, deadbeat dads... all playing into the huge decades long psyop.

Where is the MeToo outrage?

That's a genuine issue and yes it's largely and sadly ignored. Some women are part of the problem, tarring all (white) men with the same brush - witness Jess Phillips getting violently heckled by Muslim men and her subsequently announcing that toxic masculinity is the problem, nothing to do with a religion that treats women as second-class human beings.

The Martyr's avatar

Jess Phillips is a major part of the problem. She knows exactly what the issues are and came very close to calling them out on election night when she was in shock at almost losing her seat. Since then she’s rowed right back and is much more tempered in her responses to what she well knows are the dangers of sectarian politics. Maybe she’s afraid to stick her head above the parapet (I could understand that) or maybe she’s hoping to hang onto a chunk of the Muslim vote?

Jess Phillips is a clear example of a politician employing the tactic of political mendacity.

This tactic has been in ample evidence in the pathetic statements by Starmer and Mark Rowley and much or most of the msm.

Hi Stephen, the following link gives an overview of the disadvantages faced by men and boys in the UK today: http://empathygap.uk/?page_id=22

The anonymous zoomer clearly believes that she has equal rights and opportunities with men, when actually she has more. It is also noteworthy that she uses the bigoted phrase 'toxic masculinity'.

The strange thing is, that while men generally in the UK have been increasingly disadvantaged, and also have often been victims of false allegations re sexual and other abuse, there is one cohort for which the opposite has been the case - grooming gangs, who have been predominately Muslim. It is also arguable that Muslim men have been allowed to get away with violence all too often, as some people here personally testify. Here is an account of a murder in the 1990s: https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/september-2020/the-wrong-kind-of-race-murder/

The question then is, why have they been given preferential treatment, when men in general have been treated increasingly as second class citizens?

And of course, especially with continuing very high levels of illegal and other immigration, this is putting non-Muslim women and girls at increasing risk, as the author testifies.

How exactly has this situation come about?

As for how it has come about, we've imported the communist feminist dogma from the US that pathologises any or all male behaviours as "toxic" but yes, as you point out, not for certain religions—how odd. It's almost as if it's intentional!🙂

As an aside and not wishing to detract from the article: is it genuinely written by a Gen-Z person?

But anyway, I think the only way (sadly) to bring this discussion into the mainstream is a high-profile actor or pop star to raise it. Those in power seem disinterested, even Farage, but as the writer notes, anyone doing so would be labelled racist, far right etc etc.

Taylor Swift? Harry Styles? Both uncancellable, either or both could do something worthwhile.

Good post. The crude fact is that many of these young Muslim men coming to the UK and other Western countries are very much motiviated by the prospect of sex with white women. These are largely racially and religiously motivated crimes. Since their victims are infidels these young men can find more than solace for their crimes in their beliefs. Such crimes against women of their own faith would be unforgivable. It is no coincidence that the same faith inspired and approved the use of sex in the pogrom against israeli Jews on 7 October last year.
