Thanks in this case to the meticulous work of the Centre for Migration Control, which submitted Freedom of Information requests to police authorities, we’ve just been given some bombshell statistics that the state would rather you did not see.
But before sharing them, ask yourself -- why did it need somebody from outside the state to submit lots of freedom of information requests to police authorities in order for the state to hand this information over in the first place?
I’ll tell you why -- because what you’re about to read blows apart the Officially Approved Narrative in Westminster and the elite class.
On crimes in general:
the brand new information released by police authorities also show that foreign nationals are 69% more likely than British people to be convicted for drug crimes, 25% more likely to be convicted for theft, and 39% more likely to be convicted for all crimes.
People from Albania, Moldova, Congo, Namibia, and Somalia are the most likely nationalities to be convicted for crime.
.
On sexual offences:
To put this in raw numbers, while the rate of sexual offence convictions for British people was 2.66 for every 10,000 people, it is 77 for every 10,000 for Afghans and 59 for every 10,000 for Eritreans.
Europe is in an abusive relationship with Trump and refuses to accept it. I went online (shock, horror) to find out why people stay in abusive relationships -- and its amazing that European states are showing all the major reasons.
This is true. Europe's leaders need to grow a backbone and break away from US dominance. They should create a European Military Alliance and use it to eventually rule the world.
The political rhetoric in the first five weeks of the Trump regime is giving clear indications that the United States fully intends to invade and seize Canada and Greenland at President Trump’s command. The possible timeline is 6-18 months of political destabilization to weaken the Canadian economy, split political parties, and carry out secret destabilization efforts, including identifying and making contact with Canadians who would betray their country.
If the USA did invade two of their closest allies, no-one would trust them again for a very long time.
Trump to blame
Trump was to blame for his argument with Zelenskyy in the white house, according to a YouGov poll:
A short history of Rwanda and the Congo
With Rwanda-backed rebels advancing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Peter Banks has written a Gentle Introduction to the Congo and Rwanda:
Well, Kagame appears to be rolling the dice for a 4th time, and Tutsi militias are once again on the march. I’m not sure even he knows what he wants out of this conflict other than the perennial goals of his regime: protecting Tutsis from Hutu terrorists, defending the eastern Congo from tyranny in Kinshasa, and friction with the essentially non-existent Congolese state over what should and can be done to accomplish these first two goals.
The continued formal existence of the Congolese state [...] has never been good for anyone but the central government.No rational person can truly believe that North Kivu would be better off under the rule of Félix Tshisekedi than Paul Kagame. One need only cross the border to see how different life could be for those Africans under the rule of a competent government.
This is true. Rwanda is a much better-run place than DR Congo, which is precisely why Rwanda has been able to occupy large parts of Congo, despite Congo's much larger size, population and mineral resources.
To illustrate this, look at this satellite photo: on the left is the Congolese city of Goma and on the right is the Rwandan city of Gisenyi (from Google Maps):
[Female Genital Mutilation] started out giving an advantage to a small number of families in the marriage market, and in the end, gave essentially no advantage, imposed costs on all women, and punished women and their families who wouldn’t conform.
There are many practices like FGM which have this structure. Some of them involve even greater harm. Fortunately, almost all are not nearly so harmful, but they are destructive in their own way:
a. Insisting men wear suits to show “professionalism”
b. Not taking all your allocated days off work to show you’re keen about work.
c. Forbidding men to wear dresses
d. Setting a standard that both men and women are supposed to shave “down there”
e. Requiring women to wear makeup to go outside
f. Male circumcision in some contexts (“I don’t want my boy to look weird to the others”)
In many of these cases, if you do not conform you will be doubly punished. It is not just that you haven’t done the desired thing- that’s bad enough- but worse, there must be something especially odd about you and/or your family for you to be one of a handful of people who won’t get with the program. Maybe you’re too poor to buy a suit. Maybe you’re a political radical.
The ursine one adds:
This is why, when you see a behavior that imposes a cost, for which conformity is expected, but which provides no public benefit beyond signaling, you are doing a moral service if you refuse to comply with it. You are contributing- in however large or small a way, to human liberation.
This is also why functionalist explanations of social norms are so often ridiculous.
