In her essay, *Against Innocence
Race, Gender, and the politics of Safety*, Jackie Wang describes the use of feminist rhetoric and feminist collaboration with the passing of tough-on-crime legislation in the US in the 90s.
Rape is/was endemic in the US. Studies in the 90s showed that 25% of US women experienced sexual violence. However, But, Wang writes, "If the safety of women was a genuine concern, the campaigns would not have been focused on anonymous rapes in public spaces, since statistically it is more common for a woman to be raped by someone she knows. Instead, women’s safety provided a convenient pretext for the escalation of the Penal State". Rhetoric about stranger danger made women feel less safe in public spaces, while, ironically, increasing their risk. To be safe was to have a male escort, but, statistically, the person who seeks out the role of 'male protector' is the person one would least wish to be alone with.

If there was really a "credible threat" impacting us, the police would have come to stand around with the security team.
**I am so sick of this bullshit.**
Our institutions are working with our enemies against us.

There's nothing in the news. A "foiled" terrorist plot doesn't even make a blip?? Give me a fucking break.
I'm so sick of this bullshit. Our security apparatus and our press happily do the work of Jew Haters for them, spreading everything they come up with to a maximum audience. It's a hugely successful collaboration.

At the end of service this morning, the former chair of the shul announced thtat CST declared a credible threat against a London synagogue, so could we take the kiddush to go and clear off as quick as possible.
The average ago of people present are prepping for their second b'nei mitzvot, so the "fast" exit involved unfolding zimmer frames and the like.
By the time, I was actually leaving, word was the CST had foiled a plot against Bevis Marks, the oldest synagogue in the UK. (and Western Europe? idk)
CST are funded by the Home Office and are jumpy about everything, so was the "plot" to murder everyone or to (very highly inappropriately) pass out leaflets against the IDF?
This is the second time this has happened within the last few months. I don't think most white CoE/atheist Britons know what this is like, but I don't like it and honestly wish the CST had a stronger filter with their communication. On the other hand, with fascists running amok, I can't dismiss them out of hand.

I was surprised to learn that most US schools now start in August because of a national standardised test that happens in September. The states compete with each other on the exam and get rewarded in some way. States with an earlier start perform better. So now they all start early and August is ruined.
Bush's education cock ups have a lot to answer for.
