Behaviour guidelines for life in UK published for asylum seekers

The UK Home Office has released a new nine-page booklet outlining behavioral guidelines for asylum seekers. The document, available online, addresses crucial issues such as respect in public spaces, understanding sex and consent, and the principles of gender equality. It aims to inform asylum seekers about laws and customs in the UK, which may differ significantly from their home countries.

Instead of trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants behave in a civilised way towards women, they should be deported.

The guidance details how asylum seekers must familiarize themselves with UK law, as violations can lead to legal trouble, loss of asylum support, or negatively impact their asylum claims. Specific sections address gender equality, explaining that women possess equal rights to men in the UK and do not require permission from male relatives for activities like work, study, or travel. The booklet also clarifies that consent for sexual activity must be mutual and cannot be given if an individual is asleep, intoxicated, or otherwise unable to respond.

a disgrace, adding its publication showed the government "know that they are a menace".

However, the publication has drawn sharp criticism from some political figures. Chris Philp, the Conservatives' shadow home secretary, stated that instead of trying to educate asylum seekers on civilized behavior towards women, they should be deported. Similarly, Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's home affairs spokesman, labeled the document "a disgrace," suggesting its release indicates the government acknowledges asylum seekers can be a "menace."

“

Immigrants are coming from places and societies where attitudes towards women can be completely incompatible with Western society. Too many communities are failing to properly integrate and become part of our culture, leaving frankly backwards standards to prevail.

Philp further argued that immigrants often come from societies with attitudes incompatible with Western norms, and that some communities are failing to integrate, allowing "backwards standards" to persist. Yusuf, in a social media video, expressed disbelief, characterizing the guide as instructions "on how not to be a rapist, not to be a paedophile, how not to beat women and how to leave babies alone."

I genuinely cannot believe what I have just read. The government has just published a handy guide for illegal migrants on how not to be a rapist, not to be a paedophile, how not to beat women and how to leave babies alone. That again may be really hard to believe but that is exactly what they have just done.
