Lovely Europe Western Europe is dramatically changing, but it seems to get little attention from the traditional press. Some argue these changes will lead to civil war. Stanford professor Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Somali-born Dutch and American writer and activist who recently noted to (controversial) Tommy Robinson that "we may lose the Continent". Look at recent events in Ireland. (Ms. Ali suffered FGM, and has had 24 / 7 security for over 20 years because of her viewpoints.) Ms. Ali is as knowledgeable, understated, and dignified as they come.
An Aggie alum, professor, and frequent traveler seemed equally ignorant until I educated him about the so-called "grooming gangs" that have committed unspeakable evil, brutal acts against 300,000 to 500,000 British children.
The London Metroplitan Police just updated their crime statistics: 2200 r*pes in Q1 in London, 6700 sexual offenses, over 12,000 cases of stalking / harassment. How many were purposefully buried?
So London in Q1 has matched the r*pe total of New York City for all of 2025 (2000).
So that's 4x the rate.
This is the 'OT Board", and any parent or elder will want to warn young people about the changes, especially big cities and nightlife in Europe (London cab drivers have also become a big problem).

Independent journalists and citizens cover these changes on Instagram and elsewhere.
MTBAggie - great to hear, but young women often have a very different experience. I saw a young Spanish woman who said she feels safer in the UAE at midnight than Barcelona in the daytime.
