UK puts misogyny and Islamic terrorism on the same footing

August 20, 2024 Through Jill

from Flat White, Spectator Australia:

British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced Labour’s plan to Terrorism Act 2000 to classify misogyny under the heading of ‘terrorism’.

In effect, the government says the threat of violence against women should be treated as a “threat to national security.”

That is astonishing, because no one has failed women and girls more than the authorities, who for decades refused to track down rape gangs for fear of hurting ethnic communities.

For example, the Huddersfield grooming gang is the largest gang convicted of sexual abuse. In 2017, 29 men were arrested, mostly Pakistani. The Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal has lasted for decades. Estimates suggest that 1,400 girls were abused with at least some knowledge of the local authorities. Again, the majority of offenders were British-Pakistani men. Senior members of the police community have resigned and investigations have been opened.

There is circumstantial evidence to suggest that in cities like London there are ethnic and religious based cover-ups of violent crime and theft. The failure to pursue criminal activity underlies the ‘sense’ that ‘two-tier policing’ is real.

The loss of confidence in a fair and equal justice system has led to unrest in the community.
