I'm one of the few. I've never been inappropriately approached, cornered, touched, or sexually abused. That's not the same as being safe. Because I have done *every single one* of these things:
Every woman you know has taken the long way home.

Has held her keys between her fingers. Has pretended to be on the phone. Has looked over her shoulder. Has checked the backseat before getting into the car. Has sent someone her location (just in case). Has crossed the street to avoid someone. Has ran faster because she didn't feel safe.

Every woman you know has to thought about what she would do if something happened.

Every.

Woman.

You.

Know.

A Moray councillor took a job as deputy head at a British int. school, in Cairo (yes, Egypt). He didn't inform his constituents, participates in some meetings online, & continues to draw £26k annual salary. It's legal (there's a residency requirement only for election day) but surely it isn't right.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

When the RNLI bring migrants ashore, they're handed straight over to the authorities. When small boats land on beaches, the occupants can slip away undetected. Which is preferable? Perhaps this is something their detractors might want to consider.
