Yeah I was going to ask this. Is there any proof that crime is on the rise and can it actually be linked with immigration. If yes, then clearly there is a huge problem that needs to be addressed, no matter how politically incorrect it is to name the problem. Sticking our heads in the sand whilst more women are attacked is ridiculous (we as in..people in general. I realise I am not german, though my maiden name was German) but it seems to be the default answer. Oh, its only women, who cares. I know that sounds defeatist, but its bloody true and I am sick to death of it.

People don't like to hear quite how much sexual assault happens. I mean, women have been saying it forever and ever but it only just seems to have sunk in for some. And people don't like it, obviously. A lot of people are concerned that it makes men look bad too. Which is silly as concern should be for the people who have been assaulted.
