Whenever the state prioritises “public safety”, it is probably not the safety of the public that is being protected so much as the value system of the politicians running the state. That was the case for the infamous rule of the Major Generals after the English Civil War in the 17th century, when parliament was side-lined so that the lives of the English people could be made “safer” by soldiers acting as judges. Likewise, the Committee for Public Safety in France, when the actual safety of the public was less important for the Committee than the smooth runnels of the guillotine. Similarly, the Cheka, “The Extraordinary Commission for Protecting the People”, in the early days following the Bolshevik coup showed how it protected the people by executing some 500,000 of them. “Safety” is usually a virtue invoked by politically insecure regimes, measured by the lack of safety for those they govern.
So, we can be sure that when the British Labour government created a Minister for Safeguarding Women and Girls, the true objective was not to protect the she-people in the title against real harm, but to attack a largely imaginary enemy. In this case, the “class enemy” would be suitably-diabolised white men, such as the Anglo-American Andrew Tate, and not the real threat to British women, namely the Asian men who have raped many thousands of poor white English girls.
However, a concerted campaign against that ethnic entity would almost certainly result in the collapse of the Pakistani vote for the Labour Party and perhaps its permanent exclusion from power. Better by far to attack an imaginary peril than the real one, for which there is a sound precedent. The deeper and terrible truths about ethnic crime in Britain was last spring turned on its head in the prize-winning Netflix series Adolescence, which told liberal Britons, and the race-relations industry which now serves as their public conscience, exactly what they wanted to hear: That teenage violence against girls was primarily a white crime. This was the compelling reason why the series was acclaimed and won awards around the world: It told a lie as “convincing” as the lie that the police in Minneapolis had deliberately beaten George Floyd to death in 2020.
Facts tell quite another story about crime in England. There were 15,000 recorded incidents of “knife-crime” in London last year, with two-thirds of them involving black or minority-ethnic young males. This can be discussed, because most of the victims are also young black males, while the opposite fiction – that black males are disproportionately victims of white racist gangs – has been officially endorsed as a truth by the British Government. Thus April 22nd is forever to be known as “Stephen Lawrence Day”, in honour of a single black teenager who was stabbed to death by white youths in 1993. Hundreds of black youths have in the meantime been knifed to death by other black youths in London, but since these murders lacked that beloved “racist” dimension, they have been officially forgotten.
So here’s the big question. Would any British television company make a “docudrama” about a black boy knifing a girl to death? Simple answer: No. Such a film would end the careers of the writers, producers, directors and actors involved. Everyone knows that a portrayal of such murders must exclude any perpetrators who possess “protected characteristics”, which confer special status on women, homosexuals and immigrants. Naturally, these categories were imported from the USA, enabling liberal commentators on Adolescence to assure their audiences that misogyny and racism are almost religions for many white English males.
Moreover, the vital dogmas have entered mainstream journalism, hence the following verbatim account that was recently presented as “factual” on the BBC news website.
Online influencers like Andrew Tate are radicalising boys into extreme misogyny in a way that is “quite terrifying”, police are warning. Senior police officer Maggie Blyth said young men and boys could be radicalised in the same way that terrorists draw in followers.
The National Police Chiefs Council described the issue as a “national emergency” as it published a report into violence against women and girls. The NPCC estimated at least one in 12 women in England and Wales would be a victim of violence every year – or about two million women. And it said the problem had been growing, with “more complicated types of offending”.
Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth said officers who focused on violence against women and girls were now working with counter-terrorism teams to look at the risk of young men being radicalised.
Almost every single aspect of this report is either an invention or hyperbole, starting with the falsehood about two million women annually being victims of violence, since the definition of violence includes a man raising his voice to a woman or striking a table in her presence. All attempts to get a fully empowered national enquiry into the grooming/rape of many thousands of white girls (and probably many more: see later) by Pakistani men have foundered, not least at the instigation or the inertia of white English women politicians such as the former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and the splendidly-named Minister for Safeguarding Women and Girls, Jess Phillips, though naturally with the unspoken but necessary parenthesis – (provided that the guilty male is white).
The Banquo’s ghost at this banquet is of course Andrew Tate the martial arts fighter, who has been almost canonised as the Official Misogynist in Chief of the UK. The BBC did have an on-line interview with him, but clearly this was so disappointingly unsupportive of the allegations against him that the BBC has taken it down. However, Tate did keep an uncut recording of the interview, and it is available on U-Tube, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxxsD5C6zNE.
You can see for yourself whatever a blow-hard and braggart Tate might be, none of the allegations of rape and emotional control of helpless women are sustained in the course of this forty-minute exchange. Admittedly, the interviewer is such a hapless, lazy halfwit who went for headline allegations without reading any of the underlying evidence, that she probably would have managed to convince a jury to return a not-guilty verdict to a guilty plea from the accused. Indeed, that has so often been the outcome to the generic claims by feminists against men: The ferocious heat of the accusations is not matched by the evidential fire needed to prove their case.
Catastrophe has been visited on so many poor white English girls and women by Muslim immigrants. This time last year. Elon Musk posted on X that: “[Prime Minister] Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN when he was head of Crown Prosecution for six years (2008-2013)”, demanding that he “face charges for his complicity in the worst mass crime in the history of Britain”. This was in response to Phillips’ remarkable decision, as minister for the safeguarding of women and girls, to reject a national public inquiry into the sexual grooming of children in Oldham.
In the almost totally-unknown town of Telford in rural Shropshire, over a thirty years period, more than 1,000 girls are known to have been raped by Pakistani immigrants. Extrapolated from that, not exponentially but linearly, we easily get a figure of 100,000 girl-victims in England. Extrapolating exponentially, the figure rises towards numbers of the great war-crimes against the women of Austria and Germany in 1945, measurable only in the hundreds of thousands. No wonder women in power in Britain such as Blyth, Cooper and Phillips want the smokescreen of white male guilt to conceal their own complicity-by-inertia. After all, these are university graduates with serious skin in the game, namely their careers. These are far more important than some merely abstract concepts of “justice” to the relatively unimportant poor white girls of all those dreary English provincial towns, surely?
