data obtained by the Guardian shows that 41% of the 899 people arrested for taking part in last summers violent disorder had already been referred to the police for domestic abuse. Basically knuckle dragging thugs. Do as I say or I will thump you, I may even thump you because, just because! The 41% figure is similar to other research carried out by the counter terrorism police and Home Office.
What to do about it is the question that needs answering. Should there be a domestic abuse register, like that regarding child abuse? Should courts/police have the power to recommend/enforce attendance on anger management courses (like the speeding ones) at the accused cost. This is an issue much greater than immigration – the stats are horrific and I copy and paste below.
Domestic abuse is a widespread issue with significant impact. Data indicates that roughly one in five adults experience domestic abuse during their lifetime, with women being disproportionately affected. Police-recorded incidents are on the rise, and a substantial number of these incidents go unreported.
1.35 million. The police recorded 1,350,428 domestic abuse-related crimes and incidents in England and Wales in the year ending March 2024. https://www.ncdv.org.uk/domestic-abuse-statistics-uk/
A domestic abuse related call is made to the police every 30 seconds. 89% of people referred to our service seeking civil protection orders last year were women. Women are more likely to experience repeat victimisation, be physically injured or killed and experience sexual violence.
In England and Wales, domestic violence results in a significant number of deaths each year. For the year ending March 2024, there were 108 domestic homicides, with 83 female victims and 25 male victims. A concerning statistic is that 66 of these victims were killed by their partner or ex-partner.Additionally, 262 domestic abuse-related deaths were recorded, including 98 suspected suicides following domestic abuse. Women are disproportionately affected, with 78% of female victims of domestic homicide being killed by a partner or ex-partner, and 92% of female homicide victims being killed by a man. The risk of serious assault and death is particularly high for women after leaving an abusive relationship, with 38% of women killed by an ex-partner being killed within the first month of separation, and 89% within the first year, according to the Femicide Census.

I am humbled and feeling guilty for being a man!
The likes of Farage think it is ok to support the likes of these people who abuse their families whilst condemning those who are escaping persecution and prejudice, want to become part of our tax paying and civil society.
