And why do you think there’s a reluctance to record or disclose ethnicity Oldfeller??

In other words total made up BS That you can’t back up.

I was going to say similar. If it’s a big thing to get to, sure, don’t be gay, make the trip; it’ll be a good story. My approach in the UK (most of England where most of the population is anyway) is just don’t bother. For the four or five days a year of snow we get here, just stay at home and save yourself about a 10,000% chance of an accident. Most things can wait a day or two.

Based in Bradford, I am looking for ground-work during my 4-day rest blocks. As a serving Firefighter and Army Reservist, I am highly disciplined, physically fit, and strictly adhere to H&S and risk assessments. I am used to operating equipment, working in PPE for long durations, and performing under physical stress in all weather conditions. I have my own PPE and transport. I am very keen to gain site experience while I work towards my quals. If you need someone who is punctual, follows briefings to the letter, and is ready for hard graft, please get in touch. Available for day-rate work across Bradford, Leeds, and wider West Yorkshire. Contact: 07873327589 or [email protected]

Based on available data from the UK government and police forces, figures on the ethnicity of rape perpetrators are not considered to be fully accurate or comprehensive. While some local data has highlighted disproportionality in specific areas, national-level data is generally flawed due to significant gaps in recording. Here is a breakdown of the accuracy and limitations regarding rape ethnicity data: Significant Data Gaps: Ethnicity is not recorded for a large proportion of offenders. A national audit (January 2026) found that the ethnicity of perpetrators is not recorded for roughly two-thirds of cases, meaning a complete, accurate national assessment is impossible. Issues with Recording: Data quality regarding ethnicity within police platforms is often unreliable, as noted in Freedom of Information disclosures. Records often rely on "police-defined" ethnicity rather than self-defined ethnicity, which can lead to inaccuracies. Underreporting and Hidden Context: Many sexual offences are never reported, and for those that are, convictions are low (less than 1% of reported rapes often lead to conviction, according to some analyses), meaning the data only represents a small fraction of total offences. Regional Differences: While national data is sparse, local police data has, at times, shown disproportionate numbers of men from certain ethnic backgrounds (specifically Asian backgrounds) among suspects in particular cases of group-based child sexual exploitation (CSE). The "Grooming Gang" Context: Reports on the ethnicity of people involved in child sexual exploitation have been criticized for potential bias, small sample sizes, and the fact that a large proportion of cases have unknown perpetrator ethnicity. Conclusion on Accuracy Data that claims to show precise ethnic breakdowns of all rape offenders in the UK is generally unreliable due to high volumes of missing data and inconsistent recording methods. The data often reflects reporting biases and policing focus rather than a complete picture of offender demographics

For the rightard, the analysis I read was last year, one of the reputable sites - a bigger news sites or a fact check site, but I don't have the link. Your turn, can you validate your statistics though and show you are comparing like for like?

Up early, day of maintenance and paperwork today after 2 of the hardest days I can remember. Lots of trees, lots of climbing, tricky specs etc. Good money on it though, which helps of course.
