Labour Party officials have announced plans to begin treating “extreme misogyny” like terrorism, citing “violence against women” as a national security threat.
Social media personality Andrew Tate was singled out in the report as officials believe influencers like him play a significant role in radicalizing men and boys, and even drew comparisons between influencers like him and terrorists.
Breitbart News reports:
Teachers, healthcare professionals, and local officials in Britain may become legally obligated to report young men to the government's Prevent counter-terror programme in the same manner as Islamic terrorism or far-right radicalism if they are suspected of “extreme misogyny,” The Telegraph reports.
Cooper told the paper: “For too long, Governments have failed to address the rise in extremism, both online and on our streets, and we've seen the number of young people radicalised online grow. Hateful incitement of all kinds fractures and frays the very fabric of our communities and our democracy.”It comes as police in Britain have claimed that the rise of anti-feminist influencers like Andrew Tate represents a “national emergency” over the potential radicalisation of boys and young men. Tate is currently awaiting trial in Romania over allegations of human trafficking and rape, charges which he denies.
Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth said last month: “We know that some of this is also linked to radicalisation of young people online, we know the influencers, Andrew Tate, the element of influencing of particularly boys, is quite terrifying and that's something that both the leads for counterterrorism in the country and ourselves from a VAWG [violence against women and girls] perspective are discussing.”
The move struck many Britons as tone deaf and disingenuous, as the Labour Party has a history of encouraging and permitting unfettered migration from misogynistic cultures, and turning a blind eye to the “grooming gangs” they've established in their new country, primarily targeting British young girls.
There have been multiple instances where Britons receive harsher penalties for criticizing the open borders migration approach and “culturally insensitive comments” than migrants found guilty of committing heinous crimes against British women and children.
Earlier this year, a British female reporter went viral for addressing that British women in general were less safe in their own country as a result of open borders, as the country continued to admit men from cultures where rape and sexual assault aren't taken seriously as crimes. The sentiment is widespread throughout Western Europe and has been echoed in Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia.
While “extreme misogyny” may present a valid threat, it dulls in comparison to the very real threats that the Labour Party has routinely ignored and buried in the name of political correctness.
