Don't blame migrants for violence against women, Labour council tells residents in immigration 'mythbuster'

A Labour council has launched an online 'myth-buster' urging people not to blame asylum seekers for violence against women.

In a post on social media, Liverpool City Council warned against associating foreign cultures with attacks on women and girls - adding there is 'no causal link between asylum seeker populations and increased levels of VAWG'.

It urges residents to 'know the facts', providing a link to a page on its website addressing the 'most common myths' and the truth about them.

Common misconceptions include asylum seekers being treated better than the British homeless, and being responsible for 'rising violence against women and girls', according to the council...

Police made 8,500 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences including rape in 2024 and start of 2025, figures showed, although this referred to all non-British citizens not just asylum seekers...

In other sections of the myth-buster, available on their website, the council addresses concerns about people 'pretending to be refugees to get free stuff'.

'Every asylum claim is assessed carefully by the Home Office. Most people seeking asylum are fleeing war, torture or persecution,' the council states.

'They want safety, dignity and a chance to rebuild their lives.'

In another section, acknowledging the claim that migrants are given 'better treatment than our homeless', the council responds: 'Asylum seekers are housed due to the government's legal obligation to do so.

'Homelessness is a separate and equally urgent issue. One crisis should not be used to dismiss the other.'

A fourth section, titled 'They're living in luxury hotels at our expense', states that hotels used to accommodate asylum seekers are 'budget hotels or repurposed buildings'.

'The rooms are small, often shared, with no kitchens and very little privacy. People seeking asylum have no choice over where the Home Office places them,' the council adds.

The marxists. They lie. They lie like rugs.

The cultural entitlement to rape the infidel is EXTREMELY well established, and has been for decades and decades.

Burn in hell, liar.

About 30 years ago, London was one of the safest cities in the world. Today, it’s one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Importing 3rd world savages will do that.

It is all true! I have it from knowledgeable insiders there is a violent Amish cult living incognito in the UK passing themselves off as Muslim extremists. It takes them hours to put on the makeup to pass as a middle east Muslim. They are highly trained in the art of bomb making, terrorism and defiling young innocent women and sometimes boys. They do this with enthusiasm and joy. /S

Would I lie to you?

In the seventies I lived and worked in England just West of London. I often traveled into London and never felt unsafe in the day nor late at night on a pub crawl. There was one shady area in East London around the docks. Not due to immigrants but just plain English criminals. All that has sadly changed due to the Muslim immigrants. No part of London is safe now.

I really did love the UK back then. I considered it my second nation of allegiance, I would have fought for the UK, I was young then. I am old now and can not fight. If I were young I would not fight for the UK today. That once great nation has lost its way and is dying.

It is their culture to rape infidel women and women without hair scarves, etc.

Truth. White gangs in britain have been raping young teens and the police looked the other way too. Right?

White muslim terrorism, not just foreign muslim terrorism.
