Someone has submitted footage of what happened. Look at how a gang of foreigners just randomly begin hitting and punching me.
This was the first incident. After that, I tried to retrieve my things, and they tried to attack me a second time. Then the police arrived.
To end the anti-immigration protests, Dutch police have received orders to start threatening mothers that their children will be taken away.
I messaged one such mother yesterday (the one in the video below). Her husband was arrested and detained for 2 hours just for being present at a protest. She is terrified and won't be protesting again.
Dutch media wrote about these 'family outings' last week. The presence of women and children apparently threatens to normalize 'the far right'.
But it's the government that is radicalizing. The mayor of one town suggested to bring in the Dutch military to take over from the police. Police forces don't like it that the public have started to truly hate them.
Private constituency-wide polling in Makerfield just released by 'The i Paper' has shown Restore Britain's support in the constituency is huge, and growing fast.
We are going to deliver the biggest shock the British establishment has ever received next Thursday.
You can keep telling yourself this, but you're simply wrong. I'm a left-leaning liberal who's fiercely anti-authoritarian, and if you couldn't deduce that from my work you haven't understood a word of it.
I'm not an ideologue. I mistrust ideologies. I've never met an ideologue who wasn't prepared to deny a bit of inconvenient truth to keep their world view intact and I include ideologies with which I find myself in broad sympathy. On the other hand, I am an idealist. I believe in human beings. We are undeniably capable of terrible acts, but the evidence is that we are astoundingly collaborative and mutually supportive, especially when times are hard.
My values haven't changed; what's changed is the political landscape. What was once my natural home (a pragmatic centre-left party focused on dealing with economic disparity, championing social liberalism and equal rights) is now dominated by an illiberal, identity-based strain of politics I consider elitist, harmful and out of touch with the day-to-day concerns of regular people, particularly women (and I've still lived more than half of my life as a non-wealthy woman, and some of that time was spent in poverty).
There are women with whom I make common cause in the TERF wars I disagree with on other things. Within obvious limits (sucking up to literal Nazis) I don't particularly care about their personal politics. The reality is that there's currently an assault on women's rights unparalleled in my lifetime, and it's coming from both left and right. If ever there was a time for women across the political spectrum to come together, it is now.
Iraq has lowered the age of consent to 9.
Under Sharia law, every girl in this photo would be married by now. But we’re ’racist’ for criticising their paedophilic ideology?
