Many women have been horrifically killed here in the past 5 years, including at least 7 who were stabbed multiple times, and their deaths did not receive statements from the PM, debates in the commons, or global news coverage. Nor were there any riots, or condemnations of cultures by politicians.
Northern Ireland has a very high level of gender based violence, mainly committed by white Northern Irish men. I’ve yet to see riots after a woman has been violently attacked or killed. Seems like the issue isn’t qwhite about violence but who gets to commit it! www.ulster.ac.uk/research/res...
Based on responses from more than 540 women, the report also found seven out of 10 experienced some form of violence or abuse in the last 12 months.
NEW: Police have finally issued a statement nearly 18 hours after events
- 3 men arrested and charged "in connection with various offences" - ages 31, 18 and 18
- 2 officers injured
- 3 members of the public injured "because of the colour of their skin"
