The MP said: “Rape of women has increased by 41 per cent in the last year. I’m appalled that the Government are sitting idly by whilst a group who believe women are pieces of meat without any rights are allowed to spread their poisonous ideology in the UK.

“How can the Government allow disgusting “meet-ups” led by a man and a group that have promoted rape to take place in the UK at a time when sex crimes against women are going through the roof?”

“The Government need to send a strong message that promoting violence against women and girls is not acceptable in the UK and should be treated as another other hate crime, with zero tolerance.”

Roosh V, real name Daryush Valizadeh, is an American writer and pick-up artist who has gained worldwide notoriety through his misogynistic and pro-rape views. His series of books called Bang are advertised as a guide to sleeping with women.
