That will sort it.

Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet

The nine-page booklet covers issues including respect in public, sex and consent, and gender equality.

www.bbc.com

There should be translated versions available. Although I can imagine the outrage coming from that.


"That will sort it".
Sort what? If you want to stir something up, at least articulate what that something is to which you are referring.

Look, there’s a very valid discussion to be had a) about immigration in general, and b) about immigrantion from countires with different cultures amd laws to our own and about how theose immigrants can be helped to integrate; (hey let’s tell them our laws, oh no, don't, that’s bad) - and you don't have to go as far as Africa/Asia/the Indian sub-continent to find such differing cultures and beliefs, regardless of skin colour. Many such beliefs and backward ways of treating women are on our own doorstep.
This initiative doesnt in any way mean that all immigrants are rapists and paedophiles; which is what most of the media coverage - mainsrtream and social - implies. Yet that is how it is presented. But of course you know that.

Yes there have been absolutely horrific cases of women being assaulted and raped by immigrants, and I hate any attempts to downplay that, it is beyond awful. I mean of course I would hate it, I am a woman and I find the whole thought of it horrendous. But I equally hate the rhetoric that puts all immigrants/asylum seekers in the same bucket as those terrible offenders, as if all immigrants are the same. In the same way that I should not place all 'white British' men in the same likely-to-offend bucket as some individual 'white British' men.

The problem is men. Full stop.
Yes we need to find a way not to facilitate such men entering our society - ghod knows we have enough of them here already. But equally we must not tar every male - immigrant or otherwise - with the same shameful brush.
Stop trying to stir things up.
