The United Kingdom's Home Office has produced a 9-page behavioral guide it hands to asylum seekers entering the country titled "Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK." Among the lessons contained in this taxpayer-funded document: women must consent to sex in all situations, women are allowed to work and study, and women don't need permission from men to make their own decisions.
Oh, and abusing and sexually assaulting children is really bad too the pamphlet insists!
The guide, which is being distributed as part of welcome materials for asylum seekers arriving in the UK, also instructs recipients that female genital mutilation is illegal and that non-compliance with British law can result in rejection of their asylum claim. The UK government is, in effect, handing out posters telling new arrivals not to sexually assault women or mutilate the genitals of girls. This is what passes for immigration policy in modern Britain.
Bill Melugin flagged the document on social media, noting that "the UK government has issued a 9 page behavioral guide for asylum seekers that includes teaching them that women must consent to sex in all situations, women are allowed to work, study, and make their own decisions and don't need permission from men." As reported by Twitchy, the guide lays out what most Western nations would consider baseline civilizational standards — the kind of thing you'd assume any prospective resident already understood before boarding a plane.
Brandon Gill put it more directly: "If it has to be explained to somebody that rape is bad, you probably shouldn't bring that person to your country in the first place."
The very existence of this document is an admission. You don't print a pamphlet explaining that women are autonomous human beings unless you've been importing large numbers of people who don't believe that. Governments don't spend money solving problems they don't have.
The progressive defense will be that this is responsible governance — proactive education, cultural bridge-building, meeting people where they are. Which sounds reasonable right up until you ask the obvious follow-up: why are you bringing in populations that require a government-issued manual explaining that sexual assault is a crime? That's not cultural sensitivity. That's a confession dressed up as a policy.
This is the same UK government, remember, that spent the last several years arresting its own citizens for mean tweets. The same government that deployed pepper spray against a man carrying a baseball bat still in its original packaging. British police will kick down your door over a Facebook post, but the official response to importing people who may not grasp the concept of consent is a leaflet.
Nine pages of instructions on how to not commit crimes that every British child learns are wrong before primary school. The guide doesn't exist because the government is thorough. It exists because the government already knows exactly who it's letting in.
