This is very good. David convincingly traces current demagoguery about the supposed threat of sexual assault by migrants back to other moral panics.

Dear followers, This post was met with an onslaught from 7 October rape deniers. The mass rape is not only factually established, it’s also very personal to me (knowing far too much about some of the cases). I am exhausted and nearing despair. Checking out for a while.

One of the most urgent crises in the criminal justice system is that allegations of rape and serious sexual offending take five years to reach trial. Any politician who claims to care about sexual violence and is silent on this issue has another agenda.

Here’s a thing … on road death ➕ Which road types have demanded the most political debate and media coverage? 🟰 Answer is urban roads (35% deaths) with lots of discourse on 20mph limits and smart motorways (all motorway deaths 5%) ➕ Which roads are rarely discussed in…

I don’t know when people turned so interminably mean. Imagine seeing someone crying, and in great distress, and your first reaction is to think about how much clout you can get for it on social media. I can’t fathom it.

I made a conscious decision today: do not use any photo of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in tears on p1. Many outlets will revel in her turmoil, but I just can’t and refuse to. My reasons are myriad: I know the critics will hammer me, but chief among them: be kind. Be decent.
