Oh, there's quite a lot wrong with me at the minute but my reading comprehension is just fine.
Yes your reading comprehension is in fine form.
Here's hoping the medical issues you've had to deal with in the past year will follow suit.
So, to reiterate, neither I or the article are contending that rape is anything over than what it is - forced sexual assault on someone against their will and without consent. This can occur anywhere including the confines of a marriage bed. What it does explain is why countries that have lesser protections for rape have significantly lower report rates due to cultural factors where sexual assault and abuse is kept 'within the home' - and that's before we even look at countries like Saudi Arabia that regard women as second class citizens and property.
Rape is a problem in the UK, nobody's denying that and the percentage of offenders caught and convicted is too low, but I'm not interested in turning the subject into a point scoring contest. At all.
Well said.
I could link to any given event from the UK to America, Canada, France etc. Just what point are you trying to make with this, especially in regards to this actual thread?!
The point is they're "asylum seekers."
Just as other threads at TOL do, these YouTube and X videos (overuse of both of those platforms leads to brain rot) by content creators who are racist, who take a crime by a person of color and then relentlessly focus on color as the driver of the perp's crime.
A white guy in Texas kills his pregnant wife and two children and it's crickets. I guarantee if he'd been Black, there would be endless videos posted here about it, with related racist commentary. It's the nature of the game. It's not whether these content creators and their supporters are racists, it's whether and to what extent they can get away with it. The getting away with it is what fuels them.
