Worth a try for sure
Do you mean never having met him or that he was from Wigan???
In an ideal world, women should be as free to do anything as men are. And the people brave enough to try are the people that change things. The reason that globally hundreds of thousands of women feel empowered to travel solo is because tens of thousands did 20 years ago, thousands did 40 years ago, hundreds did 60 years ago etc. They all deserve credit if you ask me, living your life and encouraging others to behave purely through expecting it of them isn't a bad way to be.
I agree with your points about girls / women being free to travel . Certainly, when we ( well those who live in the East Lancs textile towns ) see girls’ / women’s rights going backwards at a rate of knots in some communities , those who are fortunate and privileged enough to enjoy a gap year and worldwide travel , should be encouraged to do so .
27 criminal offences across europe it seems and it's also come to light that he was radicalised whilst in prison. Why was he free in europe and not in some detention centre? I'd suggest that someone needs to point a finger at the European Court of Human Rights .
The left, along with constantly accusing the right of racism, use the stock defence of Muslims by saying its a small percentage of extremists. Whilst that's true on the face of it, the percentage of Muslims willing to commit atrocities is way, way too high to be accepted by any peaceful society.
Immigration can be good but it's a double edged sword. Immigration should only be available to people with special skills who will be of benefit to the nation or (and this might sound mercenary but I believe it's logical) very rich people who bring wealth to our economy. Unfortunately and the one thing none of the lefty tree huggers can grasp is that the country that they are leaving is disadvantaged by losing those skills and wealth. On the other side of the coin unskilled people are of no benefit as we have plenty of our own and quickly become a burden on the state.
