Says it all…

@BstokeLabour Difficult one to respond to without getting slated, but if I left my valuables on show in my car, I wouldn’t be surprised if it enticed someone to break in.

@alan_h_stone @BstokeLabour Alan, so just to be clear, you’re saying that if women dress a certain way, they shouldn’t be surprised if they are sexually assaulted or raped? Repugnant viewpoint, blaming women for men’s crimes.

@LukeMLabour @BstokeLabour I said if you leave valuables on your car seat, you should not be surprised if your car is targeted .

@alan_h_stone @BstokeLabour This is one of the most mental takes I’ve seen in a long-long time, Alan. Do yourself a favour: avoid swimming pools & beaches, because, y'know, bikinis! We wouldn't want you to get the sudden urge to ermm 'break in' to any women!? I think that's enough internet for you today

@brownlie12 @BstokeLabour Then you are taking it the wrong way. My comments are all about personal responsibility in a "how not to be a victim of crime" way. It's the same stuff the police talk about all the time. My initial post was not about clothing.

@alan_h_stone @BstokeLabour Women are not valuables left in a car Alan, they are not objects. Sexual assault victims are not “leaving valuables on show” they are just existing in the world and become the targets of sick, cruel, selfish men who rape and assault them.

@ADZanderWest @BstokeLabour So people should be allowed to dress (or undress) how ever they like and the rest of society should accept it?

@alan_h_stone @BstokeLabour Absolutely disgusting response.

@alan_h_stone @BstokeLabour Can you please explain what you mean by this? How do valuables left on display compare to sexual assault ?
