Ben Quinn – The Guardian Sept 2, 2025

Prominent women including cultural figures, politicians and campaigners have signed a letter criticising rightwing attempts to link sexual violence in Britain to asylum seekers.

Signatories include the musicians Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Anoushka Shankar as well as Labour, Green and independent MPs including Kim Johnson, Ellie Chowns, Diane Abbott and Zarah Sultana.

“We reject the far right’s racist lies about ‘protecting’ women and girls. They are not defenders of women – they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division,” the letter says.

The open letter, titled Women Against the Far Right, follows a surge in protests outside accommodation housing asylum seekers and far-right attempts to exploit a number of cases of alleged sexual crimes involving asylum seekers.

Comment – Sept 2, 2025

If nothing else this is a sign that the powers that be are getting worried about the protests against uncontrolled immigration and the crime wave that has ensued.

This isn’t a matter of opinion but fact:

Sex crimes by foreign nationals surge

Foreigners convicted of up to 23pc of sex crimes

Non-GB citizens 71% more likely than Britons to have sex crime convictions, report says

The foreign nationalities most likely to be arrested for sex offences – including one country with a rate up to 24 TIMES higher than Brits

Rotherham Child Rape Victim: ‘Authorities Did Nothing’, Was Told Not to Mention Ethnicity of Attackers

Police ‘avoided grooming gang investigations over racism fears’

The growing public awareness that links sexual crimes with increased migration worries the powers that be: if only because it fuels further opposition to their policy of uncontrolled immigration.

In the past that could have been answered with accusations of “racism” but this isn’t about bigotry. It’s about hard facts and crime and so the powers that be have pulled together some prominent females to counter the growing perception that links increased illegal migration with mounting sex crimes.

Indeed, we wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t a covert, government sponsored initiative. The letter may have even been written by one of UK Prime Minister Starmer’s aides.

Will it work?

Fifteen to ten years ago it might have but not anymore. From their own personnel experience in major UK towns and cities a growing number of people can now see what uncontrolled migration brings.

Criticism and allegations of “far right racism” aren’t going to change that. That should be obvious and the women who signed this letter are either total dupes or cynically did so for some sort of personnel gain.

Essentially, what these women are doing, consciously or not, is voicing support for population replacement. Ed.
