THEY WANT TO OUTNUMBER THE WOMEN OF PIDDINGTON TEN TO ONE!! Imagine living in a quiet village of 350 people. You know your neighbours. Kids play on the field. Women walk the lanes at dusk without thinking twice. Now imagine the government putting 1,256 single adult men on the old military site next door not locked in, free to come and go right beside that same play area. There are 133 women in Piddington. That is nearly ten men to every one of them. This isn’t abstract policy. It’s their streets, their daughters, their peace of mind. No shop. No pub. No school. Hardly any police. And they were barely consulted. An earlier government paper even looked at 3,510 people on the same site. Officials now say that number is “outdated.” The live plan is 1,256. For a village this small, both figures feel like the same thing: being swallowed. The women of Piddington have already said what this feels like. Listen to them: “Dear Women of Parliament, We are the Women of Piddington and we are facing a crisis. We are 133 females living in a tiny rural community. The Government is planning to open nondetained asylum accommodation for 1,256 men right beside our village. They would outnumber us 10 to one. As fellow women, you will understand the serious risks this will expose us to. Our safety, our security and our freedoms will be under threat. Life as we know it will be destroyed. We will not feel safe walking our streets. We are already living in fear. As the women of Westminster, you have both the power and the responsibility to speak out and protect us from this plan. It is your duty to act. By continuing to stay silent you are choosing to put us at risk. There are no safeguards in place. You will be complicit. You will be to blame. We are issuing an urgent call for you to stand up for the Women of Piddington. We need your solidarity and support. We are counting on you. Please do not desert us.” They are asking not to be abandoned in their own home. This plan should not go ahead. Stand with the women of Piddington who don’t want their communities flooded with unknown foreign men.
