One of the lesser reported manifesto pledges of the Labour Party prior to its regrettable election last summer was its solemn promise to “halve violence against women and girls” within a decade – a strangely specific and unachievable promise, if you ask me. How does Labour actually plan to do this? By naïve and utopian technocratic means, as ever, such as the introduction of “domestic abuse specialists” (expert wife-beaters, perchance?) inside 999 control rooms.
Call me a cynic, but I just don’t believe such near-pointless measures will end up having the desired effect Labour imagines (or pretends to imagine) they will. And yet, when it comes to promising to “halve violence against women and girls” across the UK within the next decade, there is one single, simple, silver-bullet policy the Labour Party could indeed enact in order to vastly reduce such appalling social ills.

“How have our rulers become so politically schizophrenic..?”
…Therein lies the question. Thank you for the link to ‘pathological altruism’ – worse still the mandatory pathological altruism spewed out by a politically insane ruling class, crassly not facing up to the realities of evil. The kicks politicians get out Telling Other People What To Do know no bounds.
Reminds of the 1850’s compulsive-philanthropist, Mrs Jellyby, featured in Charles Dickens’ Bleak House, neglecting her children at home and bankrupting her husband in order to Save Africa…
“…This might be as good a summary as we ever get of Dickens’s opinions about foreign aid: domestic charity should always trump foreign philanthropy.”
What goes round, goes round.
Most violence is against men, not women.
So why is it the priority to reduce violence against women?
Because most violence against women is perpetrated by men.
So? Most mental abuse is perpetrated by women against men.
The constant portrayal of women as victims, the persistent mining for grievances and apparent unfairness against women is demeaning to women. It suggests that they are weak and vulnerable unless given special protection and that simply isn’t true. And most of the grievances aren’t true either or not really the full real picture.
Can I have some source with that statement? Exactly the response I’d expect from somebody who has a hard time accepting facts because they contradict their narrative due to they themselves demonstrating an obvious grievance mentality.
If I might jump in here. Males tend to resort to physical violence as a final stage in a confrontation. Females use character assassination, innuendo and destruction of reputation. This is well known by anyone who has lived any significant time on the planet. It is not a happy combination if you have a couple comprising a volatile male and volatile female. Such couples tend to find each other, in my experience, and volatile and potentially violent relationships ensue.
As usual, I am going to remind all, that this is not a problem of ‘men’ or ‘all men’ or the ‘raging misogyny of toxic masculinity’, but of a small number towards the extremes of behaviour. We do not need further laws and chiding and scolding about violence to women. The overwhelming majority know that this is not okay, and they are not violent towards their partners. For those who are, there are adequate laws in place.
And what a surprise,
. Still no source. Anyone would think certain men on here have a problem acknowledging reality because the facts don’t support their narrative, so instead they need to make up their own stories and hope nobody pulls them up on it, such is their need to distort the truth so they can bask in perma-victimhood.
Belt and braces – deport all convicted foreign criminals (as Sweden is now doing).
Male-on-male violence is a multifaceted problem – organised crime, gang warfare, drug-related, road-rage, etc, etc.
Whereas ethnic sex-crime against non-believers is well understood, baked into religious zealotry, and, with the right political steel, could be acknowledged by government and rooted out.
Doesn’t matter where you look, the data are the same: an increase over time of violence against women, particularly sex crimes. This certainly correlates with mass immigration of mostly men from countries where we know women ( and ‘infidel’ females, specifically ) are not treat as equals and abuse of their human rights is the norm due to the culture. Compare this with pre-mass immigration years and the difference is stark, and it can’t all be put down to better reporting/treatment of victims nowadays;
”Definitions of the term ‘violence against women and girls’ (VAWG) vary, but the government defines it as “acts of violence or abuse that we know disproportionately affect women and girls”. It covers crimes including rape and other sexual offences, stalking, domestic abuse, ‘honour’-based abuse (including female genital mutilation, forced marriage and ‘honour’ killings), ‘revenge porn’ and ‘upskirting’. Over one in four women are estimated to be victims of sexual assault or attempted assault in their lifetime, and one in 12 women are victims of VAWG each year, although the actual number is likely to be much higher.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council reported that, in 2022-23, 20% of all police-recorded crime was related to violence against women and girls. The victim was female in 86% of all police-recorded sexual offences in the year to March 2022. In the year ending December 2023, over 97% (23,723) of people convicted of sexual offences were male, and crimes are often committed by someone known to the victim.”

How many doctors got struck off during ‘Covid mania’ because they had the audacity to remember their oath to do no harm and what the term ‘medical ethics’ means? In contrast…
It does make you wonder how this would have gone down if the doctor had been white. A quick check tells me his name is Nigerian;
”A doctor found by a tribunal to have raped a young woman at his home avoided being struck off over what the panel described as a “one-off” attack.
Dr Aloaye Foy-Yamah, then a consultant at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, instead had his medical licence suspended for 12 months for attacking the woman.
Police investigated but did not charge Dr Foy-Yamah, but the Medical Tribunal Practitioners Service (MPTS) concluded on the balance of probabilities that he had raped the woman – which he denies.”

The Labour-Tards won’t deport Muslims. Muzzies vote en masse for the Communists.
They will do the opposite. They will import more Muzzies who will rape 1 million more white girls and the Labtards will blame the girls.
40 years of proof exists, that this is their plan.
By 2050 it won’t matter. Much of urban England will be Musulman.
Imam Starmtard etc.
I think it’s too late, we’re way past the point when things could be reversed even if there’s willing. Even if they deport illegals, what about those that are already citizens, 1st and even 2nd generation born here from immigrants, like Rudakubana?
However, I expect quite soon that the left’s own doings will start clashing with each other. I highly doubt Muslim men will just accept their wives to share toilets with men wearing dresses and those rainbow parades aren’t quite halal either…
They will blame both the girls (as we saw in Rochdale), but will also blame “influencers” like Andrew Tate, who, through his obnoxious behaviour, has happily, if unwittingly, occupied the role of scapegoat for this phenomenon.
See “Adolescence”.
Either way, it’s a convenient mechanism to avoid grasping one of the larger nettles.
I’m sure if a significant number of the mothers, wives, daughters of the Establishment – particularly the Royals – were raped by immigrants then action would be taken fairly swiftly.
It doesn’t matter when it’s “the white British peasant class” being attacked.
It’s a Class thing.
Good point.
Why? Simples!
Because to cling to power it needs the Islamist vote more than it needs to protect female kids who don’t vote.
How have our rulers become so politically schizophrenic
Our ruling class has a death-wish. It knows it’s time is up, and that only habit, and the delights of power, keep it in power. But at the moment there is no revolutionary group capable of deposing our current ruling class. This is the reason it seeks its own destruction by destroying the basis of its power: the sovereign nation-state of Britain, and the native peoples of these islands. And this is the reason our ruling class seeks to destroy us, the British people.
Our situation is that only nationalist revolution can give our ruling class what it yearns for – its own destruction. And nationalist revolution is the only thing that can save us.
People like these are absolutely beyond help and are cases in point when discussing the loathing some of these people have for themselves and their own culture.
Why do they think like this – are they just hopeless cases or have they been so utterly indoctrinated they have lost all sense of self-worth? Either way, their comments are a whole new level of mental gymnastics.
I cannot get my head around the attitudes of the individuals mentioned here – if this is also the mindset of people in government then Houston, we have a problem.
Then after the foreigners what about the now ‘British’ immigrants and their belief they can follow their tradition of rape here?
Oh no!
Stand by your beds, misogynists. More inconvenient data for you to deny, incoming! 
Because we all know you are the real and only victims that need acknowledged in society…
”Police in Glasgow have seen a 41% increase in rapes and a 28% increase in sexual assault amid warnings that sex crime in Scotland’s biggest city has hit “epidemic” levels.
The latest statistics from Glasgow City Council and Police Scotland’s Safe Glasgow Partnership scheme show 357 rapes to the end of Q3 2024/25, compared to 254 in the same period in 2023/24.
Cases of domestic abuse have also risen to 192 in the nine months to the end of December 2024, compared to 136 in the same period in 2023-24, while sexual assaults rose from 499 to 639.”

In other words, Hauken became feminine in relation to his assailant during this type of assault.
The world view of such people as Hauken cannot stand very much reality. No part of it can be changed when confronted by the evidence without changing it all. And changing it all means that their world collapses entirely.
