Same as you think I just read the Guardian I suppose because you think I fit that stereotype?

I was referring to news outlets that won’t report these kind of stories as an example. Also just to add I don’t know what the articles your referring to that farage or H-B are posting but if they are posting these issues about Middle Eastern men and rape then you do understand that it’s of course an issue and a disgrace that it happening don’t you? Or do you only care if it’s done by a white man?

Kids should not be allowed to attend the school their parents work at.

There's a girl in my son's year who's got a lead part in the Nativity for the second year running. Her Mum works in the office. There's been a lot of grumbling and bitching between the other Mums about it. It's not fair on the kid, because it will always be seen as favouritism, even if it's not meant to be.

My Auntie works in a different school office, and she told the staff not to give my cousin any lead parts in plays etc, because she didn't want it to look like favouritism, so she missed out.

In both cases, it's not fair on the kid.

I used to work at a school that was attended by a TA’s son. TA’s son was really unpleasant. Not in an overtly ’naughty’ way but was very sneaky, spiteful, rude and disrespectful, Never said ’please’ or ‘thank you’ would often snigger when other children gave the wrong answers (he wasn’t exactly brain of Britain himself), or when particular staff members spoke etc. The class teacher agreed that he was a horrible child but that really putting in him in his place would be awkward because ‘mum works here’. Mum was a lovely and very popular member of staff who would organise collections for birthdays and that kind of thing, and no one wanted to upset her. I was only a temp and didn’t care, so when the little tit rude to me in the dinner queue I gave him a right bollocking. Mum never spoke to me ever again, and would even blank me when she saw me. Wasn’t hard to see why the little fucker was like he was really.

What Middle Eastern rape cases are you talking about?

In terms of data for child sex abuse cases this is the make up of the accused in terms of ethnicity

We contacted the CPS who provided us with the information they publish on defendants in child sex abuse cases. 98% of defendants were male in 2015/16, but no information about the ethnicity of the defendants was published. We then submitted a freedom of information request to the CPS asking for information on the ethnicity of defendants prosecuted in child sex abuse cases.

It provided us with data on the number of defendants prosecuted for sex offences in cases flagged as relating to child abuse in 2015/16. It also included the ethnicity of those defendants.

Of the 6,200 or so defendants in these prosecutions, 67% were white, 4% were Asian, 3% were black, 1% were mixed race and 1% were other. For 24% of defendant’s there was no information on their ethnicity. Of all these prosecutions, around three quarters resulted in a conviction.

People who voted for Brexit giving out that they dont get the same rules as Europeans.
Example; I was travelling a few weeks ago to Europe and there were people from England/Britain complaining that their Covid certs were not accepted and that the NHS cert should be accepted in Europe. You voted to leave, TOUGH!

Not sure where that was but I've been to Cyprus and France and haven't had problem getting anything Covid related accepted. I'll assume they didn't have the right paperwork.
