> Rapes have not increased by some 200% over the last 10 years?
No. There has been an increase in reported rapes across many Western countries, due to a combination of much higher awareness (especially due to celebrities), and clearer laws and guidelines for the police on how to report, including many cases where offenses that would previously have been reported as "sexual assault" are now reported as "rape". There was also a huge jump in the reporting of historic offences, so if you want to know when they happened, you need to make adjustments from when they were reported.
> the social housing in London area is not majority occupied by foreigners?
No, it is not. That's (famously) completely made-up.
You appear to have been taken in by exactly the type of propaganda the article is exposing.
- tristanj 5mo agoSocial housing in the London area is only occupied by 47.6% foreign born nationals, which is technically not a majority. But that figure is from 2021, rather old, and in 2026 this figure may actually be a majority. Less than half (47.6%) of London’s social housing was occupied by people describing themselves as born outside of the UK in the 2021 Census. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/foreign-born-residents-live-less-than-50-london-social-housing-2025-02-06/ https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/foreign-born-residents-li...
