We need a reckoning with these events in Epping. Not only with the problem of migrant hotels but also with the frothing animus that greeted the women there when they dared to speak up. It confirms that women of working-class origin are absolutely unwelcome in the ‘MeToo’ movement. That rallying cry is for professional women only, the ladies of the bourgeoisie, not women in pink tracksuits who never went to university. You women should stay home and pipe down.
More starkly, the left’s sexist rage in Epping speaks to the classism of what passes for radical politics these days. The minute someone from the other side of the tracks expresses a political view, the graduate left wonders: ‘Is this fascism?’. The irony of Epping is that the true bigots were not the women raising concerns about sexual violence but the haughty outsiders telling them to shut up. Under the cover of being ‘pro-refugee’, these people give voice to an anti-masses hysteria of the like we’ve not seen since Victorian times.
It is essential we do not forget what happened in Epping. Women raised concerns about the sexual assault of a child and they were called Nazi scum for doing so. Dwell on that, and do something about it.
