Three cheers for journalist David Shipley, who argued on live TV that the current, merely reactive punishment of illegal‑immigrant rapists, such as the Afghan involved in the Nuneaton twelve‑year‑old case, implies that there is an “acceptable” level of rape Britain must tolerate. To prohibit entry from countries with misogynistic cultures disproportionately prone to hate crimes such as child rape, we are told, would be racist or “inhumane.”
As usual, up popped token Left‑wing commentator John McTernan with the predictable line: you can’t label them all rapists. Yet he seems unable to grasp that a man may be both a refugee and a potential rapist, and that every such assault is both unnecessary and preventable. Prevention is possible only if a government places the safety of native women and girls above the so‑called “rights” of foreign nationals established by international treaties.
To the Starmers, Hermers, and McTernans of this world, such a stance is unthinkable. To the British Democrats, and indeed to the majority of Britons, it is simply common sense.
The fact that the rest of the panel, Sir John Redwood, Nigel Farage, and David Shipley, took positions closely aligned with our own shows how far the centre of political gravity has shifted rightwards (or rather, back to the true centre in the longue durée) in recent months.
History is cyclical, not linear, and certainly not teleological. Labour cannot grasp that it is now hopelessly out of step with the Zeitgeist, defending the indefensible, a poor man’s politburo of third‑rate student politicos mired in sleaze and undone by their own lies.
Well done, Mr Shipley, for raising an issue the Establishment would rather ignore.
