There is a worrying trend in the West, whereby the authorities appear to have concluded it’s far easier to prosecute the victims of crime than it is to deal with the actual criminals themselves. The latest example of this is the so-called ‘Sophie of Dundee,’ Mayah Sommers; arrested and charged by Police Scotland for the ‘possession of offensive weapons’— a hatchet and a knife—which she clearly felt were necessary to protect herself and her sister from an advancing migrant. For the police, it was a matter of supreme indifference that Bulgarian national, Fatos Ali Dumana, was filming, pursuing and harassing the girls in the video. And neither the fact that the girls felt compelled to produce the ‘offensive weapons’ nor the evident terror in their voices factored into the policing equation.
The story has already been covered extensively, but I should like to add three points as subsequent information has come to light. First and foremost, nothing whatsoever about this story stacks up. If Dumana is genuinely the ‘victim’ in this case (and I suggest you need psychiatric treatment if you believe he is), why is he chasing his ‘assailants’ and inciting the girls to incriminate themselves rather than simply leaving them alone? Second, there is strong evidence on social media that prior to the video, an assault had taken place. Third, we should not be deceived by the Daily Mail puff piece. Far from being a cuddly ‘family man’ and soi-dissant ‘gentleman from the Kingdom,’ Dumana is actually a self-proclaimed ‘gypsy gangster man,’ as evidenced by his social media presence and AK47 gang tattoos. His Instagram posts include “waiting for you whores to get in my super car” and ‘sex tactics’ videos. It is curious that the media chose not to depict him in this light.
The most telling thing about the Daily Mail article is the disclaimer where the comments section ought to be: “Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article”. Rather than facilitate or lead the debate, the media no longer wants to have the debate. This is the same media that consistently refused to report the truth about Britain’s grooming epidemic, reporting instead that the nation had a ‘child prostitution crisis,’ or that girl X had ‘slept with 100 Asian men by the time she was 16’—‘slept with’ being perhaps the world’s most egregious euphemism for ‘raped by.’
Police Scotland’s response has been predictably cowardly—after all, blaming the victims is a well-worn path. While the grooming gang abusers regularly referred to their teenage victims as “white slags,” the police preferred to call them “Paki shaggers.” When the UK constabulary were not busy raping the victims of grooming gangs themselves, they invariably arrested the girls for being drunk and disorderly, even occasionally arresting the fathers when they attempted a rescue. Incidentally, those epithets are still in use. They were given a recent upgrade by a Labour council leader, who referred to the girls as “white trash.”
While the UK constabulary are deaf, dumb and blind in the face of real criminals, they generally come down mighty hard on victims—particularly when the perpetrators are of a diverse nature. Try being a 17-year-old girl employing pepper spray to fight off a would-be rapist, a Jew who dares to look “openly Jewish” in the vicinity of a pro-Palestine march, or members of the public determined to protect the statue of Winston Churchill from Black Lives Matter vandals because the police refuse to. Try that, and see how quickly you get your collar felt.
Arrest does not always follow victimhood, but this inversion of the rule of law has seeped into other avenues of life. In London, the police now advise you to cover all jewellery, valuables, and watches because, obviously, they’re too busy to investigate ‘low-level crime.’ Mobile phone retailers, meanwhile, are adorning the pavement with signs like ‘Mind the grab’—a reminder to the public that the duty not to have their phone snatched rests firmly with them. And to staunch the flow of migrant rape sweeping the streets of Britain, the police have decided it’s simpler to instruct women to stay at home.
Particularly troubling in this matter, is the condemnation reserved for those simply ‘noticing’ the pattern. High-profile cases like Tommy Robinson—jailed for showing the documentary Silenced against the instruction of the High Court—are matched by those at the other end of the scale. As a recent example, the Epping ‘pink ladies’—working mothers attempting to protect their daughters from the housing of illegal immigrants at the Bell Hotel—were referred to as ‘far-right’.
The advocates of such censorship are not shy about their motives. Only this week, a coterie of champagne socialist women co-signed an open letter, demanding that “right-wingers stop linking immigration to sexual abuse”:
There is no evidence that people seeking refuge are more likely to commit acts of sexual violence. Many are themselves survivors of violence, war, and persecution. Blaming them distracts from tackling the deep-rooted causes of abuse and from holding those truly responsible to account.
This is an extraordinarily foolish or disingenuous statement. Even in its reluctance to accurately record crime, the Ministry of Justice is painfully aware that foreign nationals overall are 71% more likely than Brits to be convicted of sex crimes. In the case of Afghans and Eritreans, that figure increases to 20 times more likely. The ladies claiming there is no evidence for such a link (three of whom are prominent MPs) simply cannot be unaware of this fact.
The real question we must ask ourselves is whether this policy of victim-blaming is part of a more sinister plot or just a panicked reaction to the surge in crime. Unpicking the issue is naturally no easy task. For starters, the replacement migration ushered in by the likes of Tony Blair and the UN could have merely been a knee-jerk response to declining birth rates and aging populations. Then again, waiting for someone in authority to confirm that Western governments are actively engaged in the destruction of their own populations is hardly a judicious use of time.
There are certain things we do know, however. The authorities are frightened. They are terrified of speaking too honestly, for fear of aggravating their imported Muslim populations. Nigel Farage—the man who may well be ‘taking on’ the fight for Britain’s survival—openly admitted this fear:
The nub of it is, we have a Muslim population in Britain growing by about 75% every ten years … If we politically alienate the whole of Islam, we will lose. By 2050, goodness knows what kind of a terrible state we’re going to be in. We have to do everything we can to bring the majority of British Muslims with us.
Furthermore, former Chief Prosecutor Nazir Afzal famously made the following admission regarding police reluctance to take grooming gangs seriously:
You may know this, but back in 2008 the Home Office sent a circular to all police forces in the country saying “as far as these young girls who are being exploited in towns and cities, we believe that they have made an informed choice about their sexual behaviour and, therefore, it’s not for you police officers to get involved in.” If that’s the landscape coming from the top down in 2008, rest assured, all agencies are going to listen to it.
While former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has denied the existence of such a memo and Afzal confirmed he had never seen it, his information was based on the fact that “dozens of police officers” had told him.
Last, in the recent case of the Bell Hotel, Epping, the government has admitted unequivocally that the human rights of illegal migrants trump those of the concerned local citizens. All of which would tend to suggest—deliberate policy or not—the current UK administration is unlikely to stop blaming the victims of crime anytime soon.
Like most of the victims of Britain’s disastrous immigration policy, smartphones and social media were until recently in their infancy. The cat however, is now well and truly out of the bag—as the case of Sophie of Dundee clearly illustrates. Were it not for social media, how many people would have been convinced by the biased reporting of this case? And how many thousands of grooming victims might have been saved, had the public had X to tell the truth?
Now that the public is awake to the scale of the problem, the only question remaining is whether Western governments will finally do what must be done—mass deportations? Or will the people have to clean up the mess for them?
