    Reform UK spokesperson Zia Yusuf wrote on X in response: "The government is handing out guides to illegal migrants, training them not to rape women, not to beat women, have sex with children or leave babies alone.

    “The political class are knowingly enabling the assault of our women and girls at your expense.”

    Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: “Instead of trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants to behave in a civilised way towards women, they should be deported.”

    God damn these are some dumb takes. So instead of explaining the laws, you should just assume guilt right off the bat?

    Did you know that in the UK, the “marital rape exemption” was only truck down in the 90s? These fucking conservatives think their 35-year-old laws and [purported] cultural values are universal and should therefore go without saying? And that explaining their laws is tantamount to “enabling” the violation of those laws?

    As is so often the case with politicians, I have to wonder if they’re actually that stupid, or if they’re just preying on people who are.

    Ahh yes, because the culture of Britain has completely eliminated all rape. The culture is so good, in fact, that the royal family had to eject one of their own over how cultured he is.
