  1. Some of these men have quite bad English. And no sense of awareness / consideration of how unwanted their advances are.

    I’m sure I also saw a similar Dispatches episode last summer but instead of going around Cardiff it was around Leicester Square and the presenter was pretending to be drunk. It had even more disturbing examples of men stalking her back to her hotel room.

  2. A lot of things to ‘notice’ in that video clip isnt there?

  3. Man, those Welsh parents not teaching their Welsh kids how to behave. All perfectly normal Welsh goings on. Nothing to see here.

  4. If you’re a moderately attractive woman, you cannot walk in town centres past the plethora of barber shops, vape shops, and takeaways without some lascivious, audacious twat intruding upon your walk past.

  5. >Some men even approached me with strange requests: “Do you play tennis? I will give you free lessons.”

    A bold strategy in the middle of the night

  6. Yeh these are just creeps. Will be interesting how many defend or deflect from this borderline sex pest behaviour.

  7. Only counted one white guy in the whole video. Worth noting the woman herself is mixed(?)/woman of colour.

    I wonder if she had been white, would more white men have approached? Would less men of colour have approached?

  8. Wow! Even if there were no hostility in any of the interactions, it’s gotta be exhausting and scary to have to keep fending of unwanted approaches like that. Makes me glad I’m a somewhat unattractive male.

  9. Just getting in here before the 3 dots tag appears and I can’t comment anymore lol.

    But we know why the mods are going to 3 dot it..

    The 3 dots themselves, will speak volumes!

  10. I’ve not watched the footage but I remember c4 doing a documentary about something similar and it was exclusively foreign men.

    As someone who is in the Trans community I’ll tell you there is a major cultural difference between Western and foreign men – like, we are failing to integrate these guys who still have the caveman mentality of “this. Mine. Fuck now.”

    You have to be firm with them and then they’ll understand. But I understand how it can be frightening for a petite girl.

    I mean, if we’re okay with having adverts of white guys whistling and condemning that – we should be making adverts about this shit.

  11. Happens all the time, it’s not something you can comment on with out people trying to shut you down because the usual suspects aren’t the right gradient. My personal experience is that while all ranges of men do approach you the ones that are socially inept and incapable of understanding you’re clearly not interested are almost always without fault foreign born. I honestly, genuinely, believe they’re extremely low IQ people that can’t differentiate highly curated, extraordinarily fetishishtic, racially orientated pornography from reality. Seriously some of the shit I’ve had commented at me about being Chinese from these men (that clearly aren’t compatible with a high trust society) is grotesque.

  12. It’s almost like when you import a large number of men from countries/cultures where women are treated *like this* then you get more of that behaviour. We have plenty of our own creeps but anyone who pretends there isn’t a clear cultural element to this, stemming from certain countries, is lying or stupid.

    It also isn’t really a race thing or even necessarily a religion thing per se, it is certain countries, often times with neighbouring countries who don’t have such a culture at all. Culture is everything.

    Immigration with our current birth rate and demographic trends is going to be very important, but you can import from countries with cultures that can coexist or assimilate with your own, you don’t have to do so from countries that don’t.

  13. Are we not allowed to mention who the men are?…. Is the country a joke. The emperor has no clothes on

  14. Annnnnnd They’re all Black, Asian or Foreign.. How surprising… We’ve imported the 3rd world and now we’re becoming the 3rd world. 

  15. Haven’t watched the video but I wonder if these chaps are of a certain ethnic background.

  16. Not a single Welsh accent amongst them.

    What are the chances……?

  17. As someone with a daughter, this is fucking frightening.

  18. It makes me sick how much harder it is to protect my family these days compared to 10 years ago.

  19. So then normies be like “Why men aren’t approaching women anymore?”

  20. As u/ParkedUpWithCoffee mentions – there was a Dispatches episode, I got lost in their YouTube rabbithole recently and was absolutely mortified by this one – specifically titled “Sexual Harrassment”.

    Those who kept approaching her when she pretended to be drunk (and in one example, followed her _straight into her hotel room_) simply refused to respect that she was drunk and not in a fit state to consent. None of those involved were English in the sense they spoke good English, or had accents and in one example, it was _two_ men who were clearly working together that were with her.

    It’s times like this I feel sick, especially knowing that this is clearly a very deliberate set of tactics and intents at play and likely women are targeted on a regular basis by these guys.

    I would be absolutely terrified if I had a daughter and she was out by herself – not, mind, because I don’t think a woman can defend herself and kick the sh*t out of some of these scumbags, but knowing they are _doubling up_ just escalates things.

    Even in areas like Leicester Square where there are loads of Police, they’re still actively doing it right in front of them and unless they actually raised a noise about it to draw attention, would likely stand no hope of being protected.

  21. Should send these native white welsh boys back home

  22. I don’t get why they blur the men’s faces. Maybe if men thought there was a chance someone they know woild see them acting like a cunt, they wouldn’t act like a cunt.

  23. Down vote me all you want. Not one English accent from all them thirsty ‘men’

  24. So is it exclusively Muslim men who are doing this?

  25. Got a friend who can no longer walk the streets home after work. She is constantly harassed by men of a certain type. It’s got that bad that even though she only works 20 minutes walk away, she has to get a taxi home as she can’t drive. She’s been followed multiple times and the police do nothing because nothing has happened.

    This never happened 10 years ago when these men weren’t about, it’s only started to happen over the last 3-4 years since they arrived the area she lives in. Granted before that, she use to get men staring at her and wolf whistling but never ever followed. She’s at the point now if she goes out, then the dog, boyfriend or other friends go with her.
