A thread on the English #RaceRiots. In assessing the aftermath and wrecked lives and smouldering Mosques left behind after the worst English race riots since Nottingham in 1958, it's time to speak some unpalatable and maybe unpopular truths.

'The conversation shouldn’t be about whether children should be strip searched or not. It should be a given that children should be protected. Their right to privacy, dignity, and welfare should always be paramount' 🗣️ Shabna Begum on the need to end the strip search of children

She endured at least 92 sexual assaults committed by 72 men over 10 years, ages ranging from 26 to 74, all while she was drugged by her husband who documented many of the rapes. This isn’t just one or two “bad actors.” This is a society that has normalized violating women.
