The foreign nationalities most likely to be arrested for sex offences
Police made 8,500 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences including rape in 2024 and start of 2025.
Thoughts on this? I've been fascinated by this recent article, and the arguments based around it.
Team left is claiming that it is arrests only, and that racist police focus on minorities, etc, and that only convictions would show a truer view, and they believed that the real number is much less.
Team right says that this shows a pattern, and only includes single arrests, and multiple arrests probably means the numbers are probably much higher.
Team left is calling Team right racist, and says they hate women but only use these articles to hate on immigrants more, because it's convenient, and makes the claim British white people are just as likely to offend.
Team right is calling Team left niaive and trying to harm women by not protecting them, and that British people are far less likely to offend.
Which Team do you guys agree with?
If aliens ever discover us and see stuff like this, they have every right take control.

They'd get to Rhyl and decide it's all a little too weird, and probably not worth the hassle.
They would have to get past the West Midlands first. They'll lose all hope in life before they get through it.

If they had some Starfleet prime directive, sure. In reality sentient life is so rare in the universe (we're likely the only sentient life in the Milky Way) that we would be of interest.
I think they've said life is or at least was out there, but at a different stage of their existence. So even if we discover something, it will be remains of a species or them finding ours etc.

More likely find them at the beginning as slime like we were but possible afterwards too.
I just don't get how we get beyond the sheer distance of travel until we figure out how to fold space or some ****. Like the scene in the amazing Event Horizon where he asks what's the shortest distance between 2 points and he says zero and folds the paper and puts a pencil through it. That's my kind of science. Can't believe we haven't figured it out already. Can't be that hard.

Now Now he does his own research
I think they're trying, but we're not there in terms of technology to achieve something yet. They need to do something though as we're not going to progress into the universe without it.
But some really smarts guys already did it for me
The only other way really is Quantum Physics but that's less physical travel and more going to alternate realities.

I was wondering how long it would be before that came up

Not to mention, doing actual research, collecting and analysing ice cores and petrified wood, presenting the research for peer review, following the scientific method, etc (not to mention relevant qualifications , background knowledge and understanding, being recognised expert in he field...) - as opposed to "research" meaning watching a few unreferenced opinions on YouTube, even if it's a lot of unreferenced opinions on youtubeBut some really smarts guys already did it for me

Why trust experts in any field. Half a day on YouTube and I'm a qualified barrister, can perform open heart surgery, and have more science knowledge than Brian Cox.
All by doing my own research. Experts my arse.
The do you own research line is spouted alot by the Qanon crowd and flat earthers. In reality it means find sources that support my views, and don't prove i am a total mong.
Sadly done by anti-vaxxers too.
The amount of actual peer reviewed research they've done for their claims is shocking.
