Prominent women including cultural figures, politicians and campaigners have signed a letter criticising rightwing attempts to link sexual violence in Britain to asylum seekers.
Signatories include the musicians Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Anoushka Shankar as well as Labour, Green and independent MPs including Kim Johnson, Ellie Chowns, Diane Abbott and Zarah Sultana.
"We reject the far right’s racist lies about ‘protecting’ women and girls. They are not defenders of women – they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division,” the letter says.
The open letter, titled Women Against the Far Right, follows a surge in protests outside accommodation housing asylum seekers and far-right attempts to exploit a number of cases of alleged sexual crimes involving asylum seekers.
How long until JK Rowling hops onto the anti-immigration train?
She doesn’t give a shit about true evils in the world, not about some malific dark figure wreaking death on innocence to make “inferior” people bow in fear. She only cares about making the lives of young people born different to her strict worldview as abysmal and horrible as possible. She should read this book about a boy born different to his peers who embraces it and eventually overthrows true evil and terror… oh wait.
In the book, many of those wacky characters “grow out of it”.
Modern conservatism is just fascism, but with “they will grow out of it eventually” mentality. Crustaceans evolve into crabs, conservatives evolve into Hitlers.
Hilarious. They actually expect the ideology of pedophiles and rapists to listen to them.
Hahahaha good god.
Edit: Conservatives worldwide are rapists, pedophiles, and imbeciles. Just recently. Japan is having a right wing moron resurgence because of misinformation.
A recent report states ALL Thai foreign workers in Israel have been sexually assaulted:

Elite leftists who want to disconnect themselves from the complex issues and incompatibilities of cultural exchange are just fueling the problem, and allowing right wing populists to make points.
Fact is that different regions have different gender relations, and different problems because of that, and we need to understand that.
American here under fascism and seeing no improvement anytime soon here.
From me to you, spare me the self righteousness.
FYI: you literally just supported my point. I am sure Israel will take into consideration what they are doing to the Thai women. Just like they are taking into consideration the Palestinians right to live.
you literally just supported my point.
Yes, I’m agreeing with you.
Got it. The bitterness makes me stupid sometimes.
Does the UK not have the “no-single-men” policy Canada employed to avoid exactly this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/23/canada-syrian-refugee-resettlement-plan-no-single-men
A broken clock… ignoring reality because its messy won’t make it go away.
Signed by; Leftist women from good neighbourhoods.
Signatories include the musicians Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Anoushka Shankar as well as Labour, Green and independent MPs including Kim Johnson, Ellie Chowns, Diane Abbott and Zarah Sultana.
…how convenient for them.
Yeah. The truth is, a lot of these immigrants have very problematic attitudes towards women, to put it mildly.
This is rather tone deaf.
