Badenoch calls on people 'from cultures that don't respect women' to 'get out of our country'
Kemi Badenoch demands expulsion for people from cultures that disrespect women. Labour’s violence against women and girls strategy mandates misogyny lessons in secondary schools by 2029.
This sidesteps the violence Badenoch identifies.
The government’s plan trains teachers to spot misogyny in boys and teach consent alongside risks of sharing intimate images. Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips labels violence against women and girls a national emergency present in every community. No mention appears of cultural origins or migrant perpetrators.
Badenoch rejects the lessons as a distraction from a TV series about a boy murderer. She insists 11-year-old boys do not drive the violence. Instead, she calls for deporting all foreign criminals and deploying more police.
Tory frontbencher Katie Lam echoes this in Parliament. She demands debate on mass migration worsening the problem. Lam states not every importing culture grants women equality or bodily autonomy. Such imports prove dangerous, she argues.
Phillips counters that violence exists everywhere. This universalises the issue, erasing distinctions.
Badenoch draws from her Nigerian childhood to assert cultures exceed cuisine. Customs clash with British values, she says. Immigrants carry ethnic hostilities across borders.
Not all cultures hold equal validity.
She previously highlighted anti-Israel sentiment among recent arrivals as incompatible. These statements mark her first as Conservative leader. Yet Conservatives governed for 14 years before 2024.
Net migration hit records under their watch. Foreign national arrests for sexual offences rose steadily. Grooming gang convictions exposed cultural patterns years ago. Tories promised deportations but delivered delays.
Human rights claims blocked removals, as ministers admitted. Labour now inherits the same legal thicket. Their school-centric strategy repeats avoidance.
Phillips avoids cultural specifics. Labour’s earlier welfare expansions drew migrants claiming benefits at record rates. Violence followed in communities. Cross-party governments sustain mass inflows from unequal societies.
Deportation volumes lag far behind arrivals. Foreign criminals exploit prison conditions to stay. Women bear the costs in streets and homes.
Badenoch’s rhetoric signals opposition candour. But it follows years of her party’s inaction. The pattern endures: name problems post-power, ignore in office.
Institutions shield the unpalatable truth. Cultural incompatibility festers without confrontation. UK streets record rising sexual assaults.
Girls face predation patterns tied to recent arrivals. Official strategies pivot to education. This evasion perpetuates vulnerability. Real prevention demands border control and swift removals.
Governments of all stripes defer. Badenoch exposes the divide between rhetoric and reality. Yet her intervention changes nothing absent power. Britain’s women’s safety crisis stems from imported customs unchecked. Political paralysis across parties locks in the decline.
Citizens witness safety erode as leaders trade distractions for deportations.
