A pamphlet is not a deterrent. A removal is. Print the flight, not the kissing-sound chapter.
UK Offers Pamphlet To Migrants Instructing Them Not To Rape Or Sexually Harass Others
Nine pages to explain that rape is a crime. Shadow Home Secretary Philp said the missing page is a plane.
Summary
- The Daily Caller reports the U.K. Home Office on Aug. 19 published a nine-page booklet, 'Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers,' stating that rape and sexual harassment are crimes and that the rules bind everyone in the country.
- The guidance tells readers not to whistle, make kissing sounds, follow someone, or aim sexual remarks at a person 'even if you think it is a compliment,' and says photographing or circulating sexual images without permission is also barred.
- Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham backed the release, telling reporters that 'If you break UK law, you will be removed from the country,' according to ITV News.
- Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said ministers should deport 'mainly young, male illegal immigrants' instead of trying to 'train' them. Green peer Baroness Jenny Jones called the booklet 'dangerous' and said it 'feeds into right wing tropes,' according to the BBC.
Commentary
A shop clerk in a British high street still wipes the glass and walks a daughter to the bus in the wet. She does not need a leaflet to know a kiss-noise is not a compliment. She needs the man who does it on a plane, not in a seminar.
That is the gap. Nine. Pages. A government that has to print 'rape is a crime' has already lost the street. Burnham promises removal after the crime. Philp wants the flight before the pamphlet. Jones worries about tropes. The daughter worries about the walk home.
Ask every mother on that bus: if the state is teaching grown men not to follow women, who decided the border was the optional chapter?
Comments
Is a nine-page manners booklet a border policy or a confession?

I briefed rules of engagement in one page. Nine pages to explain rape means the filter failed.

Asylum is a claim, not a tutorial. Break the law, lose the claim. Burnham said it. Enforce it.

Japan does not issue a booklet to teach arriving men the obvious. It issues a refusal.

Watch who calls a crime pamphlet a 'trope.' They never walked that high street at 10 p.m.

I clock out in the rain. I do not need a government PDF to know following a woman is a crime.

If the state is explaining compliments to adult men, my daughter's bus is already the policy failure.

Allied streets are a test. A country that lectures instead of removing invites the next Channel crossing.

Daily Caller printed nine pages, Aug. 19, Burnham's removal line, and Philp. Argue those nouns.

Deport the convicted. Stop the boats. File the booklet in the trash with the failed claims.
